The Bucks managed to overcome -4 turnovers, a safety, and overall offensive sluggish-ness to smother the Zips at the Horseshoe.
The Good
- The Defense: Wow, 69 yards of total offense, 3 first downs, and one forced fumble.
- Despite mulitple quick change situations, the defense dominated.
- The running game finally got going with 176 yards on the day.
- Fewer stupid penalties.
- The team overcame some adversity to still pull out the win, lots to learn about for next week.
The Bad
- Dropped interceptions, missed opportunities, leaving points on the board.
- The first half offense – 3 points in eight possessions.
- Regression of the offense from the prior week’s outing.
- Offensive line play improved throughout the course of the game, but is still clearly a work in progress.
The Ugly
- Turnovers: 5 on the day, -4 for the game.
- Lack of synchronicity on the offensive line.
If the Buckeyes turn in a performance like we saw today, Washington will win in Seattle next week. It’s not often a team can lose the turnover battle like the Buckeyes did today and walk away with the win. Well, that’s it for this post-game report. I’ll post another entry tomorrow on how all the Buckeyes opponents faired tomorrow. GO BUCKS!
This was forwarded to me, I don’t know who originally crafted the image. But it made me chuckle this morning…a little geek humor always brightens my day.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Constellation Energy (NYSE: CEG – News) today announced that its subsidiary, Constellation NewEnergy, will work with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) to ensure that its “Your tempo: Olafur Eliasson” exhibition is matched by regional geothermal energy. Constellation NewEnergy has secured green power for the duration of the exhibition (Sept. 8, 2007 through Jan. 13, 2008).
With the exhibition exploring numerous environmental issues including global warming, SFMOMA wanted an energy partner to help reduce the exhibition’s carbon footprint. Given SFMOMA’s support of locally produced renewable power, Constellation NewEnergy was selected in part because of its ability to match the exhibit’s electricity usage with energy generated by the Geysers Geothermal Facility located in Northern California. This clean energy purchase is the equivalent of avoiding the emissions from more than 100 barrels of oil.

OK, we can understand
Constellation Energy wanting to get some of the PR value from green, but this is pretty lame. First off, Constellation is simply buying green energy from the Geysers (
Calpine or
NCPA.) Secondly, 100 barrels of oil is an interesting comparison – why? Because almost no electricity is generated in the US from oil right now, and that’s certainly the case in California. How about coal? How about the positive impacts on greenhouse gas emission. Nope, just a publicity stunt.
The odd thing about this is Constellation doesn’t even talk about its
Soda Lake, Nevada geothermal plants. Why not simply make an arrangement to supply the juice from there? Why not mention that Constellation is a geothermal operator working to provide green power? This is a hollow and transparent act.

Doing research for the prior post on
Bebel Gilberto and her excellent concert, I came upon the photo above. Bebel was definitely working it on stage last night and it’s clear she has a good time. One day, I’d love to visit
Rio for Carnival…
