Sweet, Sweet Football Goodness!!!

Man I love this time of the year! Football season is in full effect y'all! Bengals ar 2-0, Chicago Bears are 2-0, Ohio State is 3-0, Michigan kicked the crap out of Notre Dame and my Mighty Colerain Cardinals are 4-0 and ranked #1 in Cincinnati and #23 in the USA Today National High School Poll!

I attended a huge High School Football event last weekend, The Ohio vs. USA Challenge put together by Kirk Herbstriet (Ohio St., Centerville HS, and ESPN) It pitted 9 Ohio teams against top teams from 8 other states. Ohio won 4 out of 9 games (and should have won 6 out of 9) including a 28-0 shellacking by the Colerain Cardinals over Cardinal O'Hara from Pennsylvania. I think it is an amazing accomplishment for Ohio to win 4 games against the best that other states had to offer. I got to see teams that I have heard about since I was in High School play live, such as Concord De LaSalle from Cali (5 national Championships, 152 game winning streak) who demolished a good Elder team 56-32. I saw 6 high school games in 2 days.

Colerain is rolling again this year, they have beaten their opponents by a combined total of 190-14 so far this season. The starting Defense has not allowed a single point to be scored against them, and have shut out their last 3 opponents. The D is super fast, they hit hard and tackle very well. The offense has added a new dimension this year also, the forward pass! They still run the Triple Option, and still have about a 4-1 run to pass ratio, but it is nice to see that teams can no longer cheat up on them and put 8 or 9 men in the box to try and stop the run, if they do that against them this year the QB pops up and passes right over their head. It is a beautiful thing to watch. Tonight Colerain takes on the undefeated Lakota West Firebirds (who beat Moeller in game 1) at Lakota West. Huge Division rivalry, the winner of this game will probably end up GMC champ.

Colerain's #1 in Ohio prospect Eugene Clifford verbally committed to Ohio State last night. That will make the 3rd Cardinal in two years to go to Ohio State. Here is a link to the article about Eugene from the Enquirer.

Now for the Bengals. IT IS STEELERS WEEK!!! REVENGE TIME! We must beat those God Damn Mutha Fuka's!!! Although Big Ben is a Ohio boy, I think that I will still have to hope to see Big Sam Adams sack the living hell out of him this week. I would also love to see the game open up with a repeat of the pass play that Palmer was injured on in the playoff game last year. A bomb pass to my namesake Chris Henry, that goes for a TD this year!

Here is a video that shows one of the many reasons why the Bengals need to kick the shit out of the "Stealers" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeQEjaoAma8

If you haven't figured it out yet...I love me some football!!!

Stay Sexy!
