The night in question was cooler than usual and the moon was partially hidden behind dark and grey clouds it was approaching midnight when Poncho heard a twig break behind him.
He turned and looked behind him but the darkening path revealed nothing but swaying trees and shadows.
His pace quickind and soon was at a slow trot when he heard what sounded like a crumbling beer can behind him
He immediatly stopped and looked back and saw someone or something slip behind a tree no more than twenty paces behind him.
As you can assume he turned and started running and every few feet or so he would twist his neck to see if anything was behind him.
There was in fact someone or "Something" behind him and it had every intention of catching him and it was gaining ground on him fast.
Poncho was running at a furious pace and he could hear the breath of whatever it was behind him and it was almost right on top of him when he made a move that would make Barry Sanders say " DAMN ".
He turned to his immediate right and with his head down he was running faster than he had ever ran in his life and thats when he realized he was heading straight for the woods.
The moment he got into the edge of the woods he was tackled by the " THING " that was chasing him and by this time he was completely out of breath and turned to face what had caught him.
His eyes were shining from the moonlight and sheer terror was in them when he saw the face of his attacker and then he realized who it was.
It was no other than Jokerswild.
Poncho forgot his wallet before he started to the store on a beer run and I had to chase that scared S.O.B. for over 300yrds - man hes fast.
Now that Terrelle Pryor is starting and Beanie is semi healthy is Ohio State in a position to get back to the title game if they win out ?
They looked good against Wisconsin and their defense finally started getting pressure on the QB and Beanie was pushing defenders into the endzone and out of his way.
With Terrelle being a true freshman and a true freshman starting at center I think they have more than proved themselves but are they ready to face another USC I guess the next true test will be when they face Penn State If they beat them their ranking should be right up their with USC's. IMO
I know this has been an upset filled season so far and I know we havn't seen all of them yet this comming week will start to seperate the pretenders from the contenders.
My only problem with The Buckeyes is their play calling it's boreing and predictable I know that with Terrelle running some option plays it creates a new wrinkle but everytime I see him pitch the ball I ssense a turnover comming so far it hasn't happend but It's scary and just a matter of time.
I know last year they shouldn't have been in the title game but It wasn't their fault the teams that should have didn't win when they needed to.
So I'm asking do you think they can make it back this season or not ?
I had written in a comment that I had one of my worst days golfing and hit a 113 when Wrench Wizard replied that we should play a course right down the road from him so I gladly accepted his offer.
Hole 6 notice the clover shaped bunker
It was a beutifull day for golf 67 degrees no wind and slightly overcast when I pulled into KIngsMill Golf Club the place looked like it probably did in 1966 when it was built .
Soon Wrench Wizard and his son (The Hustler) pulled up and we were off on our most excellent golfing adventure.
I loaded my clubs on the circa 1966 EZGO golf cart it's been a long time since I seen a classic cart like this it had a steel steering wheel !!!
Wrench (The Beast ) Wizard shown here with his 3 iorn
Wrench Wizard breaks out his 3 iorn on the first tee and rips one down the left of the fairway just in the second cut 300 yrds. The guy reminds me of Sean The Beast (long drive champion).I drive mine right down the gut just across from his(mine was in the fairway)lol.
Then we both blew up and from the first hole on it was a tough day but enjoyable the course was in excellent shape for this time of the season.
I ended up shooting three under ( one under a rock one under a tree and one under water ).WW shot about the same and The Hustler beat both of us good job J-Man.
J-Man aka The Hustler awaits our second shots
Thanks for the great golf adventure Wrench Wizard and to your son I had a blast and will be back to play that course again. Next time I won't take it easy on you..lol
I want you to vote for Kelly Scott for President !!!!!!!!
Now I agree with Kelly that this isn't the place for politics but I know how passionate people can become when something becomes political .
I have tried to contain my beliefs but with all the blogs and comments about it Iv'e decided to give my take.
War :
I say bomb whoever decides they want to mess with the USA back to the stone age ~ The way I see it they don't fight fair or go by the Geneva Code so why should we ?
Economy :
I can't believe Wall Street took our money and lost it ? and we have to bail them out..WTF ? My take ~ give " ME " your money I will make sure we all get rich. I will invest most of it in a Jearsey based company that will be a Fortune 500 company in no time.
I don't know who's getting richer Hospitals or Oil Companys it's insane the costs have risin to. My take ~ Free Health Care ~ If they can do it in Canada we can do it here.
Laws :
I say whatever the crime the punishment should be exactly the same.
So theres my take.
Disclaimer ~ I really don't care what people blog about as long as they blog ~ I would prefer it had a sports theme but hey to each his own. I ain't mad at ya !!! and If I offended anyone with this " My Bad "It was in jest and may or may not of had alcohol influencd thoughts. LOL !!!
Hmm what a weird week in sports it has been or is crazy a better description?
MLB :
I'm going to do something different in MLB this week since the regular season is over I'm going to hand out some cards to deserving players and coaches .
The Ace of Diamonds goes to Cliff Lee for bieng the ace for his team going 22 and 3 with an ERA of 2.54 it's a damn shame hes not in the playoffs but being an Indians fan I know it won't be long till he's with the Yankees or Redsox (sigh).
The Ace of Clubs goes to Lou Piniella for making us all believe in The Cubs again I really believe they can do it this season.
The Ace of Hearts goes to Tim Lincecum ? I know you would think it should go to Bradon Webb but Lincecum's stats look better in my eyes. Hey My blog my rules...He He
The Ace of ####s goes to Joe Maddon who has The Rays playing some exciting and excellent baseball and may just have a ring when all is said and done.
Nascar :
The ace goes to Jimmie Johnson for winning and winning at the right time of the season during the chase and holding on to the points lead.
The King goes to Carl Edwards for driving it like he stole it and keeping Ford in the Race for the Championship.
The Queen goes to Greg Biffle for hanging in there and really turning it on near the end of the season and holding on to third in the points standings.
The Wild Card goes to Jeff Burton who has been solid all season long and within striking distance of the leaders in points I can honestly see him sneaking in and grabbing the crown.
The Three Of ####s goes to Kyle Busch this week for pulling a Mets at the end of the season .
NFL :
The Ace goes to The Bretts er I mean The Jetts for smacking the Cardinals around and putting 56 points on them ~ Unbelievable ~The names on the Cardinals secondarys jearseys have been changed to TOAST. He He.
The King goes to the Cheifs for beating the Broncos 33 to 19.
The Queen goes to the Saints for handleing their business against the 49ers beating them 31 to 17.
The Wild Card goes to the Steelers for playing a great hard fought game with the Ravens and beating them in overtime 23 to 20. That was a good hard hitting football game players were dropping like flies.
NCAA Football :
I havn't seen this many upsets in college football in a while.
The Ace goes to Oregon State for beating USC the number one ranked team in the Nation and beating them on both sides of the ball.
The King goes to Alabama for beating the Bulldogs on the Bulldogs turf.
The Queen goes to Michigan for beating Wisconsin at the Big House .
The Wild Card goes to Navy for beating Wake Forest.
Well the dealins done the pots aright ~ wait who forgot to ante up ?
In a land far far away there is a town called Upsetville and they have been getting some notoriety here lately.
It seems no one give this town any respect until they defeat the giants that surround them...It all started with a local boy named David when he defeated the mighty giant Goliath.
There are several teams that represent Upsetville and this weekend they rose to the occasion and defeated their Nemesis.
The Beavers defeated the Mighty Trojans that the world thought would reign supreme.
The Wolverines defeated the Badgers with stingy defense and some razzle dazzle from their offense.
The Shipmen defeated some nasty Demon Deacons.
The Tide Rolled all over the Bulldogs..UGA was not happy.
And Some Rebels ran rampent over the Gators.
The Terrapins beat the Tigers like the tortoise beat the hare.
It was just another day in Upsetville and the celebrations could be heard around the world.
This been another crazy week in NCAA football and I love it .
Just goes to show you that the BCS is truly BS and all the experts are humbled and prove that no one really knows whats going to happen .
Mark May can once again #### some crow which just happens to be the towns main cuisine.
I am a football fan first and foremost I will root for any team as long as their not playing the Buckeyes and am also a Nascar fan and root for Dale Jr. and Tony Stewart I like humor and jokes and stay away from politics and religion I have a black belt in crowbar and baseball bat .
