High Octane Football

After a delay of four games, which was accompanied by a high level of disappointment and a equal degree of criticism, the Todd Graham offense has arrived at Pitt. Here is a link to the article about how it took four games for the panthers offense to click. http://communityvoices.sites.post-gazette.com/index.php/sports/bob-smiziks-blog/30272-high-octane-offense-arrives
   Pitt came right out of the gates and had South Florida on their heals. But an earyly fumble sidelined the panthers offense. But right after that you had the players wanting to run more plays and sometimes they wanted them to call the same play over and over again. The panthers were led by Tino Sunseri who showed he can be a dual threat and surprised everyone with his running. He would also block for his running backs when needed. When you have a quarterback willing to block for your running back, you have a team in the making. At the beginning of the season Pitt was picked to finish 2nd in the Big East, but with 4 straight losses it didn't look like it. But with the performance of the wideouts blocking and catching, the defense keeping the other teams offense on their toes, offensive line blocking, and running backs running hard. Pitt football might give the fans a reson to watch a good football team.

Ten Minute Writing

What are my goals? What do I want to accomplish today? What are my dreams?  Do you have any goals in life to accomplish today. I want to be a better person in life, school, and at football than I was yesterday.  I dream to become a millionaire and not do anything at all. I want to enjoy life without any limitations and enjoy anything I feel like doing at that time.

A Team

A team!
Students from different backgrounds
coming together to form a bond
differences between each teamates
Victory, the only thing on their mind
Fighting for one common goal
winning a section, wpial, state championship
Sweat dripping in each and every practice
Studying the opponent
to be better than the man lined up across from you

The Family Cottage

The first morning smell of a lake!
Waves crashing into shore
The smell of late night bonfires
Dogs walking up and down the beach
People fishing on the piers
Kids playing in the lake
Picnics all along the beach
Music playing softly
Boats rocking up and down
Family partying together

The Big Man

He walked in
              stood over my desk
Bald head and a collared shirt
               then walked out of the room

Hands folded at his desk
              ready to discipline
looking down at the sheet
              seeing waht you did
handing you a slip

Blogging

Blogging today in school. Writing for 15 minutes about whats on our mind is not that bad. I want to chocolate chip cookies right about now. Ashley Hurey got pulled over and I saw her when I cut through the plaza. WVU sucks and now that Pitt is going to the ACC I wonder what is going to happen to the best rivarly in sports. We have our first saturday game of our high school career. We are 4 games down and only have 5 more games to go. Time flys when your having fun. It seems like yesterday it was my freshman year and I was the small one in the school. Wing Night tonight is going to be fun.

Ohio State

"Will you take the money!" stated coach
"Maybe!" stated the player
Questioning longered "Will you accept?"
" I don't know!"

A struggle
Quickly an impatient coach
In answer, honor on the line
" I'll accept, I guess."
Cars, Money, Tatoos
        later, at trial, everyone put to the stand
The firing of a coach
