RAWRCATZ! vs Buckeyes

Get the Gimp!

So we stand on the threshold of the great unknown. We could tumble deep into the ethereal darkness of 1 - 2 (0-1) and find our paws flailing about in the hopes that we come into contact with something, and the hope that when said contact comes, that what we find is not there to eat us. Or, as RAWRCATZ! and as one, we could step into the light. Yes, the Buckeyes are formidable. They have an arsenal of speed and death that could, at any moment, rip our defense to shreds. But the light, it is so warm. If we really, truly believe that we are the best team in the state of Ohio (and we do) then we must take care of business. The real life version of a killtacular has to start right now. Death and folly be assigned to the Buckeyes.

Death and folly.

Death or glory.



If that doesn't get you amped up to beat the Buckeyes... then you're dead already, and thus, of no use to RAWRCATZ! except for a snack.

Prognosticating: GO!

Strengths:
Actually, they are pretty damn good.
Pryor seems to have fixed that armpunt problem.
Finally got rid of that "Little Animal" character.
Their defense vs. our offense... yikes.

Weaknesses:
Let's face it, they don't see us coming.
Coming down off of the high of running roughshod over Tha U.
RAWRCATZ! are impervious to poisonous nuts.
Brazill with two L's is due.

Prediction:

RAWRCATZ! 27 - Buckeyes 24

There, I said it.

Seasonal Allergies

As the season steadily approaches next week (I'm not counting Wofford and neither should you) RAWRCATZRAWR! wants to bring you some in depth coverage of your conquering RAWRCATZ! Unfortunately, we are bloggers, thus, we sleep in our parent's basement. In my case, it is a horrible, dingy, and mouse-infested place in which no real sleep is ever attained. I am stealing the internet from my neighbors because my family is secretly Amish and hates me for my use of technology. "But for RAWRCATZ!" I say to my father. He hits me with a horseshoe.

Thankfully, intrepid people over at BobcatAttack have been doing some nice legwork for you RAWRCATZ! out there. Here is an interview with RAWRCATZRAWR! favorite LaVon Brazill:



LaVon, may you RAWR into the sunset with some shiny hardware. A MAC Championship, perhaps. There are plenty more videos on their YouTube channel as well as on their website. Take a look, create a profile, and endear yourselves to fellow RAWRCATZ! from across the globe. Even if they prefer the less terrorizing "Bobcat" moniker, which even when in all-caps is far from terrifying.

On to other pressing news, if you want to see the scrimmage this weekend against Woofford (see what I did there? They're the Terriers...) then your best bet is to head to Peden. Why wouldn't you be there anyways? I'll be there. Look for the goofy looking kid wearing a shirt that says "We are RAWRing" and give me a high-five. We should bring back the high-five, that and Marxism. Frankism. Solichism... yes, Solichism it is. ERECT THE BRONZE STATUE IN THE PLAZA ALREADY!

Updates: In Which I Hypothesize Serial Killings

Pardon our rust while we yawn and stretch out after our hiatus. You see, RAWRCATZ!, if anything, enjoy a good nap. While slipping into a summer long coma was not in the cards, you'll forgive us if we take a little bit to get back into the face-clawing.

So, news of note since we've been AWOL:

- Taylor Price was drafted 90th overall by the New England Patriots after what is the culmination of one of the most decorated RAWRCATZ! careers of all time. He finishes 1st all time in receptions, 2nd in yards and 2nd in touchdowns. He'll probably displace Randy Moss as the go to guy in an offense that is full of them. By week 10 they'll be calling him "Touchdown Taylor Price" up in Beantown.


He'll look good in Foxborough, but not as good as he did rocking the dead sexy Green and White of his yesteryear.

- The mighty RAWRCATZ! basketball team won not only the MAC tournament title, but then eviscerated #3 seed Georgetown in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Nobody gave the hardcourt RAWRCATZ! much of a chance, but a pregame speech by none other than Frank Solich (we presume) spurred our claw-toed brethren to victory over the HoLOLyas.

- However, with his spate of legal trouble we are not surprised that Armon Bassett not only declared, but stayed in the draft, despite the fact that Chad Ford had him rated as the 93rd best prospect in the draft. Lesson, oh mighty RAWRCATZ! - Don't punch bouncers in the face. A) They are paid to hit back B) You know someone is going to catch it on their cellphone C) RAWRCATZ! are better than this. We prefer to think that Mr. Bassett was tainted by his time spent at Indiana, and that the more distance he gains from the incident, the better off he will become.

- Sticking with the theme of bummers. Melvin Payne was suspended from the team in early June for reportedly breaking into a house and getting himself all cut up on a broken door. We wish to hold true to the old adage that all are innocent until proven guilty, and will reserve judgment until everything unfolds.


- Hey, let's end on a happy note, shall we? The Sporting News has named LaVon Brazill (the ball of dynamite seen above) to its 3rd team All-America. This is great news because you want to see RAWRCATZ! in these types of scenarios, and now I won't have to rip Phil Steele's heart out (2nd team AA from him) and send it to press release style to reporters like the Zodiac killer.

I know what you're wondering, and yes, I'm far too young to have actually been the Zodiac killer. Geesh, ye have little faith. Now shut up and get in the basement.
