It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy Senator Craig. I don’t think anyone is buying the “wide stance” defense and due to your espoused public views on family values and homosexuals, you have to expect you’re going to take your lumps. It’s a shame really that you couldn’t find the courage to live your life in a kind and compassionate way, a way that is consistent with your secret yearnings. It is a disgrace that you lived a double life leading on your family and persecuting that which you are – a gay man. There’s nothing wrong with being gay in and of itself. But being gay and attacking gays is simply insane – that won’t make you less gay.

Mr. Craig, you are a coward and a hypocrite. And, you deserve the fallout from this scandal. As a human, I hope you learn some humility from this experience and that you’re able to spend some time to understand yourself and live a life that’s not a lie. As a cynic, I fear that this will only serve to entrench your hypocrisy.

Just remember, this wasn’t the newspaper in Idaho’s fault, it wasn’t the arresting officer’s fault, it was your fault. The combination of a “wide stance” and a narrow mind have done you in. Your position is untenable – start over now while you still can.

Louisville’s Brian Brohm put up big numbers last night


As is common with early season games, last night was a night of mismatches. What did we learn? Against subpar competition that Louisville, Rutgers, Boise St, and LSU showed very well. Oregon State ground out a tough win against Utah – they lack of passing attack there could make it a long season in Corvallis. The most interesting game of the night was in the MAC where Miami of Ohio rallied to beat Ball St in the final seconds. The most surprising result is future Ohio State opponent Kent St traveling to Iowa and beating Iowa State. I’m not quite sure what that means, Kent St is better than predicted (probably) or that Iowa State is worse than predicted (too soon to tell.)

Tonight we get to see what future Ohio State opponent does against Syracuse or watch the Navy sink Temple. The 8 month wait is over, I couldn’t be more excited!

Aside from the college football kickoff that happens September 1, another important event takes wing. The 2007 World Beard and Moustache championships! The event will be held
Saturday! Saturday! Saturday!
(think monster truck announcer voice) in scenic Brighton, England.

I’m considering what I can do to be ready to compete next year…a photo of my proposed entry is below, what do you think?

Youngstown State’s Josh Tanner


If you want all the data, starting lineups, stats, returning starters, etc. I recommend reading this entry from Bucknuts. For the sake of not repeating the excellent work there, I’ll just provide my opinion of what to expect on Saturday.

Everything I’ve read about this game leads me to conclude that everyone thinks Ohio State will win this game in a cake walk. I say “not so fast my friend…” Youngstown State is in a lower division of college football, the Football Championship Section (FCS or, to those of us who haven’t adopted the new terminology, Division I-AA.) But, YSU is coming off consecutive conference championships and a deep run into the playoffs last year. The Penguins are coached by Jon Heacock, the successor to current Buckeye head coach Jim Tressel and younger brother of OSU’s Defensive Coordinator Jim Heacock.

The Bucks are going to face a disciplined, jacked up team ready to rumble and with nothing to lose. You might remember some 8 months ago the Bucks took the field against a team that everyone presumed they would beat too – that didn’t turn out so well. Now, do I think the Buckeyes have more talent than the Penguins? Yes. Do I think that the Bucks will look sharp in the opener? Nope. That being said, I see a much closer and tougher game than many are predicting.

The main difference in the Division I schools like OSU and I-AA like YSU is depth. Over the course of the game, this will be the difference. How it will go, I believe that YSU will score 4 times, likely 3 field goals and one touchdown. That yields a score of 16 for the Penguins assuming they kick the PAT rather than attempt a 2pt conversion. So it could be 15 or 17 points with that decision. I expect the first half to be pretty darned close and will cause Buckeye fans a little heartburn.

On the Buckeye front, I see 7 scores, I’ll say 3 field goals and 4 touchdowns. One of those touchdowns will be defense or special teams related. Why do I think this? It’s going to take some time for the offense to get synchronized, the defense will play well, but not perfectly as the defensive line learns on the job. Let’s call the Buckeye point total 37, but I expect most of that scoring to occur in the second half. Now, I would love to be wrong and have both the team show up sharp and ready to go, but I just don’t believe they’ll be ready (not for lack of preparation or effort – it’s just experience.)

Given that the Bucks are installed as 31 point favorites right now, I’d take the underdog and expect a 37-16 Buckeye win that feels closer than the final score might indicate. We’ll check back after the game to see how wrong this prediction was!
