Lady Gridiron Sports Rant

Oh Well. . .

The SEC extended the invitation to t.u. and Soonerville. Good news. We don't see them until 2025. I can wait.

Are You KIDDING Me?

noreply@blogger.com (Lady Gridiron) — Fri, 23 Jul 2021 15:21:00 +0000

Why would the Longhorns and Sooners think it's cool to join the SEC? They must be losing money somewhere and want to cash in. A bloated sixteen-team conference is not the way to go. My vote is no, even though my vote won't count. It's still no.

Greetings! Just a couple of programming notes. I've deleted both my Twitter account (@LadyGridiron) and Lady Gridiron Facebook pages. Just time to let them go. I'm still here via the blog, so that's the best way to keep up. I am excited that I will see live baseball once again. So excited!

Wild Card Weekend!

Well, well, well. No one knows exactly what's happening with my Dallas Cowboys: will he, or won't he be the HC in 2020? I'll just stay in my lane and not weigh in on what I think should happen. Moving on.

The Lady's Observations:

Dak's contract - he's a productive QB and has done his beloved momma Miss Peggy proud: pay him.
Ezekiel Elliott - he has loss productivity and has questionable activities away from the field
Randall Cobb - gifted WR did not come to Big D to be sitting around his house in January/February.
Signing Michael Bennett - interesting attitude about the "Star-Spangled Banner" and life in general although he is a fellow Aggie and Former Student. Tsk. Get him out of the locker room before he poisons attitudes.
Multiple meetings this week - press keeps talking about plans instead of teams actually in the playoffs.

AFC Wild Card Game

Buffalo at Houston
Tennessee vs. New England

Yes, the reigning Super Bowl Champions are playing in a wild card game this evening. So many people say it's the end of the dynasty. Hand me my glass of Kool-Aid. Perhaps it will be in some ways after the season ends. I am not one of Pretty Boy's fans. Never have been. I hear he's a nice guy. That's great. Still not a fan.

Yep, my Aggies won on Friday night. Whoop! Sorry to my Oklahoma State friends. Those LSU Tigers demolished Oklahoma without ever looking back. Geaux, Coach O and the Tigers. And last night, Clemson eked out a victory over my nephew's Ohio State Buckeyes.

NY Jets vs. Buffalo - Jets are the punching dummy for the Bills.

Miami vs. New England - It would be something if they lost. They won't.
Atlanta vs. Tampa Bay - Bucs break even.
New Orleans vs. Carolina - Panthers have lost their mojo.
Washington vs. Dallas - Is today the last game for HC Jason Garrett?
Oakland vs. Denver - Raiders break even for Coach Chucky.
Arizona vs. LA Rams - if only Larry Fitzgerald were on the Rams team.
Indianapolis vs. Jacksonville - Yawn.
Pittsburgh vs. Baltimore - an opportunity for Lamar Jackson to show his dominance.
Tennessee vs. Houston - JJ Watt's team prevails.
San Francisco vs. Seattle - for a special student I will go with the Seahawks. Today only.

So, the Dallas Cowboys are in Chi Town to face the Bears. One of my former co-workers will be vigorously cheering for her Bears. I'll be at rehearsal for our church's music program. I have no expectations of greatness. We drop below 0.500 tonight.
