Defense?!?!?!

Boise St., in a game I've looked forward to watching since the beginning of the year, waxed Bowling Green 48-20. Boise St. led 48-6 before BG scored 2 meaningless touchdowns, so the final score doesn't indicate how dominant BSU was. Bowling Green, for the last 3 years, has been one of the WORST defensive teams in the nation. I've never seen a defense run from ballcarriers. They are the worst tackling team in the nation, when they try to tackle someone. This year, they've given up an average of 45 points per game?!?!?! They gave up 31 points to Ball St., the same Ball St. that couldn't score against Iowa's 3rd team defense (lost 56-0). Tonight, the Falcons were pathetic. I'd hate to be a BG student or supporter because that performance was awwwwwwwwwful.

By the way, Craig James, the ESPN/ABC analyst who did commentary at tonight's game, is a tool. Between him trying to quote Snoop Dogg and Dave Barnett, play-by-play man, constantly referring to BG as defending MAC champs (Toledo won it last year), the broadcast was terrible.

The poor people of the Gulf coast, what a summer. Hurricane Rita is a Category 5 storm now, 175 mph winds and currently the 3rd strongest hurricane ever. It is due to hit the Texas coast late Friday/early Saturday. If there was one good thing about Katrina, the people of Texas have taken this seriously and have left for the most part. Local and state officials are actually organized in employing their evacuation plans. Supplies from FEMA are already in position, unlike the days before Katrina when the Mayor of New Orleans and the Governor of Louisiana failed to notify the President that they would be needing supplies from FEMA.

I was at my grandparents' house today and they were listening to Rush Limbaugh. I'm not a Rush fan at all, but I did side with him on one thing. Apparently, some celebrities got together for a Katrina benefit pay-per-view concert in New York. One of the performers was Bette Midler. Rush played audio clips of her criticizing Bush, blah, blah, blah, the same song we've heard over and over.

First of all, Bette Midler is as relevant nowadays as Jesse Jackson. Second, what has she done to help??? Oh, a benefit concert, how gracious of her. Also, if it was pay-per-view, the people effected by Katrina are unlikely to see it since they can't afford it and don't have access to it. Ignorant celebrities.....

Speaking of ignorant celebrities, how about Barry Bonds' tirade yesterday??? Bonds critcized the media for continuing to question him about steroid use and criticized Congress for investigating steroid use during the tragedy of Katrina. He said they should be concentrating on Katrina, Congress that is. I am not a fan of Barry Bonds, if I haven't stated that before. I do believe he has used steroids, even though it has only been proven that he "unknowingly" took steroids. Just look at a 1990 picture of him and a picture of him today and his recent record of injuries (very similar to Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa). How dare Bonds use Katrina as a way to try and get attention off of him. What has he done for the hurricane effort?!?!? Another reason I'll celebrate the end of baseball season is not having to hear Barry Bonds for a couple of months at least. How can you root for a guy who alienates everyone, has his own personal agenda, and seems to be the unfriendliest person alive??? I think Congress does have a right to investigate him. Steroid use in teenagers has increased recently, possibly caused by an increase in steroid use in major league baseball.

Another ignorant celebrity is Serena Williams, who lost her 2nd round match in China (got a bye in the 1st round) to 127th ranked Sun Tiantian in straight sets. Serena is still complaining of a hurting left knee. Well Serena, if you paid more attention to your tennis and conditioning and less attention to your fashion and whatever else you do, you would not be hurt.

By the way, Serena's ace count: 13. Donation: $1300. And that may be all the Katrina victims get because she will unlikely play until her knee is healed, which could mean the rest of the year. Simply pathetic.

As for me, nothing really new to report. Still waiting/hoping for good news.
