Take the chalk in all these games. Only potential upset is in Cheney where it will be 55 and potentially wet. I think Sac runs it well enough to handle that but you never know, it takes a while for 71 guys to gel.
The words 6-7 appear repeatedly in the song “Doot Doot” by Skrilla (“song” is being generous, it’s more like the sound of brain cells degenerating). The song gained popularity on TikTok with edits of LaMelo Ball, who is 6’7”, doing tall people things. The phrase “6-7” doesn’t actually mean anything, BUT GenZ and now Gen Alpha types have discovered that yelling the phrase out irritates adults (particularly teachers) partly because it’s disruptive but also because us adults get hung up trying to make sense of it. It falls under “brainrot” - a type of humor among the age group that is intentionally meaningless but sounds catchy enough to become a viral meme. Part of what makes it funny to them is that adults try and fail to understand it when in fact there is just nothing to understand.
Hopefully over the next few weeks, we stay health and get back a few players that went down in the first part of the season. Especially in the secondary. Also, I believe we can play Freshman AND preserve their eligibility if they play 3 regular season games or less. I do not believe playoff games count.
I thought he was cramping- you could see him trying to stretch both calves to work them out.
It’s a W - not a masterpiece but a win none the less. Defense was outstanding - take away the fluky 50 TD before the half (got them back in it) and we hold them below 300 yards and 10 points!
Harper’s performance in the first half (and the game plan to put him in situations where he should shine) may have saved the season. A loss there and the playoff possibilities get much tougher. I think the defense made adjustments to take away those crossing patterns and nice patterns to Fisher . Maybe the cramps had an impact also. But, in the end, we walk out of Greeley with another win.
Dial up the pressure this week and hopefully 2 halves of solid offense. Another must win coming up.
In other news, I have a coworker that went to Ball St. Turns out Sac St. and Ball St. played a series in baseball this past spring. I hope that series becomes a tradition.
Enjoy the win and Paris. My wife and I were there in May. Defense did well and so did special teams. Running game solid. Didn’t know Grant Harper was cramping - might have been why he sailed a few in second half. Glad offense was on in first half.
#10 Jordan Stanley was down in the last Northern Colorado drive, but he appeared to walk off okay. I'm hoping he's back in this Northern Colorado drive.
I seem to remember Plough did say that he thought Harper was looking great in camp and I just thought it was conciliatory talk. Man the QB decision must have been tough for the staff
