If Justin Timberlake Ever Applied to a Game

HOLY NIGHTMARE NIGHT GAME, BATMAN!

8:00pm, Saturday night... playing the # 7/8 ranked team in the nation.  Oh my goodness.  Thanks for setting this one up, Weaves.  Way to make an exit.

So I wrote down some notes from the practice game against That Team From Williamsburg last week, but I think I can just condense it into some quick and easy bullet points:

- We have all sorts of new WR and TE options.  Me likey!
- The Hobbit is so darn short that he had one ball batted down and one ball tipped and intercepted.  The Hobbit!
- As my astute spouse pointed out, Coleman certainly does not look like our starter this season.  The true freshmen showed him up.  Watch, or no watch (you'll only understand if you were listening to the fantastic announcer crew).
- Where the heck was all the talk about He Who Shall Not Be Named?

          - We really did stay thirsty, didn't we?

- Snooze-fest results: Win, 34-9

That's it.  Like it or not, awake or not, that was all that really needs to be said about the game last weekend.  It scares me to death.  We struggled a little in the beginning until we wore them down by our size.  Ummm, yeah.... our size will not benefit us in two days.

These Ohio State kids poo bigger than us (especially The Hobbit).

Per the Ohio State website:
"

HOLY SCARY STATISTICS, BATMAN!

Can we also mention that their stadium has been outfitted to seat 104,944?  AND, they are expecting to have a record crowd Saturday night?

We have a few things going for us:

1. Shay McKenzie was the ACC Rookie of the Week, with 106 yards on 9 carries, including a TD.  (The spouse has proclaimed him the starter, FYI)
2. Ohio State is featuring J.T. Barrett, a redshirt Freshman, in the QB slot.  Inexperience is good, very good, for Bud.
3. Ohio's run defense was crap against Navy, giving up 370 yards.  McKenzie?  Check.

Speaking of JT...

Dear Mr. JT,

I, The B.S.C., have thought of a perfect karaoke song for you and the boys.  See below, with my notes in italics.

Bud sings:

Mr. JT, now, what you got for me?
Mr. JT, now, what you got for me?
Mr. JT, now, what you got for me?
Mr. JT, now, what you got, what you got?

Mr. JT, now, what you got for me?
Mr. JT, now, what you got for me?
Mr. JT, now, what you got for me?
Mr. JT, now, what you got?

You sing:

You're sneaky, from the corner of my eye
I saw you eyeing me, I know that you're watching
Tell me, what would you do if I encouraged you
To get next to me, when nobody's watching?

Bud sings:

The way your body keeps moving
Is something that makes me weak
Let's start our own little secrets
For just you and me to keep
Too late to come or shy now
You've already gone this far

Beamer and Urban Meyer sing:

So, baby make your move, take charge
(Ooh)
Show me what you got for me

Oh no, girl
Is that your hands rubbing on me?
Oh no, girl
Is that your hands feeling on me?
Oh no, girl
Is that your hands rubbing on me?
If so, girl
If that's your hands, then tell me
What you got for me?

You sing:

Baby, I can tell that you want to do more
Than just dance with me and I don't mind you flirting
But honestly, do you really wanna spend
The whole night passing looks at me?
(Looks at me) (You look at Bud)
Come over here and get to working

Bud sings:

The way your body keeps moving
Is something that makes me weak
(Makes me weak)
Let's start our own little secrets
(Yeah)
For just you and me to keep
(Us to keep)
Too late to come or shy now
You've already gone this far

Beamer and Urban Meyer sing:

So, baby make your move, take charge
(Ooh)
Show me what you got for me

Oh no, girl
Is that your hands rubbing on me?
Oh no, girl
Is that your hands feeling on me?
Oh no, girl
Is that your hands rubbing on me?
If so, girl
If that's your hands, then tell me
What you got for me?

Everyone sings:

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
What you got?
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
What you got?
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
What you got?
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Oh no
(Oh no)

Beamer and Urban Meyer sing:
Is that your hands rubbing on me?
(Your hands)
Oh no
(No)
Is that your hands feeling on me?
(Your hands)

Oh no, girl
Is that your hands rubbing on me?
(Your hands, rubbing on me)
If so, girl
If that's your hands, then tell me
(If that's your hands)
What you got for me?

Everyone sings:

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
What you got?
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
What you got?
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
What you got?
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Oh no, your hands feeling on me
Oh no, your hands rubbing on me

I hope you like it.  Good luck on Saturday!  Try not to get your jersey dirty.

Love,
The B.S.C.

In Bud we must TRUST this week.  Defense is going to be our key to the game.  If we can keep them from scoring, then we have a chance to let our RBs try to move the ball down the field.

Since Ohio State has shamefully mocked

1. 1.  a North American tree or shrub related to the horse chestnut, with showy yellow, red, or white flowers.

2. OR

3. 2.

   an orange and brown New World butterfly with conspicuous eyespots on the wings.

with its mascot, I will not refer to them by that name.  It's either Ohio State or That Team From Columbus.

Let's see how many times we hear He Who Shall Not Be Named during this broadcast.  We all know the Worldwide Loser in Sports doesn't do its game prep.

Love What You Got Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh,
The B.S. C.
