I think I'll pick up some KFC and we'll do a little tailgating.
Thrilled to see Russell Wilson getting off to a fantastic start at Wisconsin. In the big scheme of things, Russell going to Wisconsin was the right move. If Russell had given up baseball and stayed at State, we'd be sure to do really good. But at the time, RW was still trying to decided if he wanted to play pro baseball or give his full attention to college football.
That put State's next quarterback Mike Glennon (and Coach O'Brien) in a difficult position. If RW had stayed at State, we'd have an outside shot at playing in the ACC Championship and possibly in the Orange Bowl. Or, more likely, the Peach Bowl.
By transferring to Wisconsin, RW has a legitimate shot at the Rose Bowl or possibly even the National Championship. And that gives MG the opportunity to start his junior and senior season at State and to see how far he can take the Wolfpack.
RW at State might have meant us winning 1 or 2 more games this year than otherwise might be expected. But with the total team package at Wisconsin, RW could go even further. And I expect MG will do quite well in leading the Wolfpack.
Watched the TCU - Baylor game last night. What a thriller.
I love college football.
Addendum
The score (43 - 21) makes it look like State in a walk. Not so. In the first 3 quarters Liberty was beating us in every statistic except for turnovers and the score. In fact, Liberty was only 9 points down with 10 minutes left to play.
Our Offensive Line has got to do a lot better job. They have to protect Glennon (3 sacks) and give him time to throw as well as open up paths for the running backs. If the OL doesn't step up their game, we're in for a long season.
Kicking game and defense is solid as expected.
It all hinges on the offensive line.

Thanks to Chip, Erica and Dwayne for going to the game with me. We did a little tailgating and had a good time.
