okay cool another win at the tabernacle known as Texas Satdium.
im happy with that. but hey i cant always write feel good funny
stuff or i wont be taken seriously as a journalistic phenom.
so today i have to let ya'll know Parcells apparently cant hear
me from my seats in section 13 about 40 rows up.
when we stopped the giants and recovered that fumble my brain kicked
into over-drive and i starting thinking of our best way to get out of there
with a win. i learned from Coach Landry that you always have to be thinking
ahead so i couldnt just be happy that we forced and recovered a fumble
and stopped a touchdown from happening. no sirree not me.
so we ran the ball, the giants used their 1st timeout. then we run again and they
use their 2nd timeout and i have my plan ready to unleash on the Giants.
i am thinking that we run the ball one more time, preferably a QB sneak
cause i am not impressed with our ball handling that close to the opponents
goal line and i can see a huge gap between our center and left guard.
i know that as soon as we run again the giants will use their last timeout
and it will be 4th down and probably 8 for a first down. there will also
be about 52 seconds on the clock and the Giants will be out of timeouts.
we are ahead by 7 points 13 to 6.
now..heres where some of you are going to think i am TOTALLY NUTS.
i want our trusty punter to catch the snap, wait as long as possible
and then simply step backwards out of the endzone. SAFETY, 2 points to the Giants.
score 13-8. clock probably down to about 49 seconds. Giants with no timeouts.
Free kick from the 20. Cortez had been kicking off to the goal line all day from the
35 so he could probably get it to the 15. McBriar our punter has a super strong
leg so maybe you let him kick it high and as deep as possible. either way
it puts the giants back farther than a punt (a quick one especially ) which
let them start their last drive from their own 48 yard line. 2 plays later
they score the tying touchdown.
my thoughts are that with no timeouts they couldnt just go down the middle of the field, they would have to work the sidelines and they would have 20 yards or so more field to cover . i know we are occasionally weak covering deep throws but we had
done a good job all day of pressuring Manning. on the td throw to Shockey terrence
newman was crawling almost getting to Manning before the throw.
anyway it all worked out, the Boyz won the game because they won the coin toss,
and the offense did just enough for Jose to kick a redeeming field goal in OT
to win.
but the extra football i got to watch i would have gladly traded for a win in
regulation and i kinda liked my plan. Ole Bill probably would have liked it too
but he just couldnt hear me screaming from clear across the field telling him what
to do. so feel free to send money, lotsa money and next year i will get me some
tickets at least on Parcells side of the field and we will probably end up
in the Super Bowl or something. anyway thats what i was thinking, i could be wrong,
later Poke.
ps. good thing this isnt an Astros blog or i would have to explain how i would
have gotten the astros out of that 9th inning mess tonight and my brain is already
overtaxed from sundays football game. later Poke

An issue arose recently that most of us have pondered at some time or another in our lives. Does a soda cool faster if you put it in the feezer? I'm not sure what the answer is. The reason I don't know that answer is because when I tried it I usually forgot the soda and returned to find it frozen. Everyone should know from high school science that water is the only thing when frozen expands. A soda in the freezer will expand and explode. So then I began thinking of a new question for all of us to ponder. How soon do I want to clean out the freezer or How big a mess will an exploded soda make in the freezer? Another memoir for the rocking chair. Love ya DW and Peanut! Go Astros!
