Did something happen this weekend? No, didn't think so. In fact, I'd like to think that this weekend merely existed so that we could remember the events of September 11th. Instead, the weekend served to remind us that even RAWRCATZ! are not invincible. In fact, they are quite vulnerable to the lamest of attacks. The Rockettes, with their V-2 barrage, were able to sustain an attack that while not as devastating to the streets of Athens as Nazi Germany was to London, unlike the Londoners, our RAWRCATZ! offensive could not defeat the terror weapons of Toledo.
But we can't linger on the past. We have work to do, son.
Coming soon to a horseshoe near you: RAWRCATZ!
Let's get some basic items out of the way first.
1. RAWRCATZ! do not hate the Buckeyes as much as they do the lowly Redhawks. In fact, we just think they're smelly.
2. Rufus, owns Brutus (more on this throughout the week).
3. The Marching 110, while not as well-known or poop flavored as the Best Damn Band in the Land, can throw down with the best of them.
And that's the perfect segue for this week. The Uprising is upon us.
This week the RAWRCATZ! toss aside the losses of yesterweekend and yesteryear. This week we show the greater Columbus area that Athens is a town to be reckoned with. This week we go RAWRing.
Enough of this Buckeye State garbage. It is time for a state of RAWRCATZ!
So, you want a MAC game? After the scrimmage against Wofford you have to think that the RAWRCATZ! are ready to curb stomp their way through a Toledo team that is very good at just that, getting curb stomped. Last week Toledo put up the 2 spot on a tough, but decidedly not RAWRCATZian Arizona team. Is it possible that they have enough rocket fuel to power past our mighty green and white clad world beaters?
No. They do not.
I am Mitch Albom.
These lines are important.
Tuesdays With Morrie.
Blows.
Sorry for the shortness of this preview, but this is going to be murder.
ToLOLedo Rockettes
Strengths:
You can only go up... right? The game is in Ohio, so they are closer to home than in the desert. Hey, they got that safety last week. Umm...
Weaknesses:
The offense The defense Rufus v a Rockette? Give me some Rufus.
As you can see, we here at RAWRCATZRAWR! don't believe in any hype that the Rockettes were slumping last weekend. We believe that Arizona is pretty overrated and will show that during the Pac 10 schedule. RAWRCATZ!, however, are never overrated. They are the best football team in the state of Ohio, and today is only the beginning.
Here at RAWRCATZRAWR! we refuse to let our seniors go off into the night. We celebrate not only their ability to move on to more profitable endeavors, but fight for their right to party.
In this vein, news from the Senior Bowl has been incredibly optimistic for outgoing world-beater Taylor Price. ESPN's ever smug and supple Todd McShay praised the burgeoning draft hero in a quick segment.
Check the one minute mark. "Real Deal?" No, more like "Savaging Your Cornerbacks On The Way To The Endzone... Deal."
That's how RAWRCATZ! get it done at the Senior Bowl.
Sorry for the slacking, lack of news mixed with the ever burdensome graduate school makes posting a light affair. RAWRCATZRAWR will try its best to continue to fight for all that is Ohio University RAWRCATZ! Football.
So, to get back into the spirit, IT IS POSTING TIME!
1. The Marching 110 performed at the Rose Parade, which is no Detroit, but Pasadena was much nicer to us than Detroit this year, so let's get with the posting.
The Marching 110 is undefeated in its fight against all things that march and suck. Now if only we could get some of these dancers:
That's the Hampton University Ebony Fire, FTW. POW POW POW POW GET IT GET IT!
2. Adam Olesheski and Fort Knox Money Matt Weller are All-MAC Academics. RAWRCATZ! getting their knowledge on is even more important than getting their game on. Remember that junior RAWRCATZ!, academics is huge in these parts.
3. Thad Turner participated in the Shrine Bowl this past weekend, and Taylor Price will represent the RAWRCATZ! in the Senior Bowl on January 30th. Congrats to two seniors who not only embody the spirit of the RAWRCATZ, but have a chance to play at the next level.
4. Speaking of the next level, next Wednesday is national signing day for high school recruits. If you are interested in hearing about the next great class of the Solich Death Squad then you can head over to the Peden Stadium tower of power and get some analysis by the coaches on who the next fine young men to play for the greatest team in the state of Ohio will be.
5. We will be giving a slight profile of our recruiting class as it is announced next week.
And finally, a special thanks to the gentlemen over at MGoBlog for the link in today's recruiting post. Thankfully we don't have the rivalry that that other team in Ohio has with them, so we can enjoy their prose without looks of scorn coming from our friends and relatives. It isn't like they are RedHawks or anything. RedHawks are dirty, dirty creatures. They live in caves and eat the souls of rabbits. How is that a lifestyle that you'd want to lead?
That's all from us for now, but we promise to be more active, and as always KEEP RAWRing!
