Are you Feeling Lucky?

A. Simmz over @ Couplebeers caught whiffs of Boisture visiting with Michigan State. Now, for me, two reactions come to mind. First, there is that gnawing, uncomfortable feeling I've had since he comitted and the gutcheck pityparty "I told you so" moment. Then theres the logical calculated reaction. The bad: he's visiting a school closer to home, that gets much more respect nationally (see HD, EA, Steele, etc) and certainly more attention locally (darkhorse for Heisman? pfft the Sawx might sign a Japanese phenom pitcher who will throw out his arm pitching in the World Baseball Classic next year) and Mich State has a family connection with his grandfather or uncle or something coaching there for a number of years. The Good: he committed with us from the get-go, He has reiterated his committment to BC. He says thats its a Solid Verbal and that he will enroll early @ BC, even the Globe has run a story on the kid. So my feeling is the same as it was back when he committed, I'll believe it when I see it, or when he tattoos an Eagle on his Chest. Either way we just have to sit, wait and hopefully get a little much-deserved luck. (God knows we need it)

And now for Week 5 of the dream schedule:
Who we play:FSU
Who we should play: FSU
For BC the road to Tampa goes through Tallahasee (it might literally go through as well). This year their coming here and the powerhouse that is Bobby Bowden and his band of class-skipping, test-cheating felons aren't the favorites to win the Atlantic, which means they probably will, and since the FSU-BC game has always been won by the away team hopefully the odd both teams aren't really that good, you-should-beat-us-but-maybe-you-won't-but-we're-rebuilding-so-maybe-you-will-but-the-team-that's-supposed-to-win-never-wins-so-maybe-we'll-win reverse reverse logic will come into effect.

Kudos to anyone that just read that, but really whether they've been replaced by Va Tech and Clemson (and maybe now Ga Tech) Miami and FSU have always been though of as the class of the ACC because of their titles and their powerhouse recruiting. Since we rock the Atlantic an FSU game is a must. Perhaps even a rivalry trophy should be made, my suggestion: a guilded luggage bag since the away team always wins.

'09: Unless the rest of the team gets arrested (a possibility) I would have to say this ones gonna be a loss for our boys. It's not a lost cause, just a difficult game against a good team that has history on it's side (0-5 for the home team)
