It’s official: USc has dumped the always-the-bridesmaid-never-the bride Buckeyes, with a freshmen QB no less. In typical fashion, The Vest was conservative, scared to let his QB throw the ball down field, and Coaching not to lose down the stretch. His well-tanned counterpart, conversely, was pacing the sideline like Tiger Woods on Sunday at The Masters. Erstwhile, Pryor was who we thought he was, a replica of Vince Young, incapable of making decisions under duress-at least good ones-and defaulting to his alleged “4.3 speed” to counter 11 Troajan defenders.
Naturally, the Michael Vick eye black was missing, which probably played a role in Pryor’s karmic impotence, but the bottom line is that Pror is an athlete, who has reached his vocational zenith as a good-but-not-great college QB.
In Gotham City, erstwhile, The Poodle will be tanning next to Will Ferrell, and The Vest will return to his (relatively) ignonymous existence as the HBC of the Buffalo Bills….err….Buckeyes.
At least the Buckeyes covered the spread, upping SNL to 4-2 on the season. Making lemons out of lemonade…
-So Sayeth the Shepherd
As SNL blogs, The Vest has unleashed the hounds, and finds the “good-against-everyone-who-is-not-good” Buckeyes positioned to vanquish the Men of Troy. Which, considering UCLA’s win over Kiffin’s Vols, is a good thing for all PAC 1+9 haters, present company included. The game has been a bit like Rocky III, where Stallone is clubbed like a baby seal by Clubber Lang (Mr. T) in the beginning, and preps for a rematch for about 2 horribly acted hours. During the rematch, Rocky is getting beat down by Clubber again but, thanks to Apollo Creed’s superb conditioning program (and a healthy dose of steroids), Stallone is capable of tasking Clubber’s best punches and after a few rounds, says “you ain’t so bad!”, smiling all the while. OSU gave up a quick pick and went down by y but, like the diminutive Stallone, has risen to the task, and leads by 5 midway through the 4th.
