I Fear Not The House Of Deacon. But Just In Case…

There are places in this world that exhude a strange and negative energy…places of my youth, where certain turns in the road or hollows always had an unsettling aura as if they echoed deeper vortexes of a dark or foreboding universe… oft in broad daylight. The poet in me is most sensitive to these, but the warrior in me is not.

Native American shamans used sage burning for the first known time in history. They used it in their shamanistic rituals and ceremonies. They also used to burn sage to heal, to remove negative energy.

The first meaningful group to arrive at any college football, gameday venue, is the training staff. They van in, replete with every tape, every extra pad, suture, mouthpiece, cleat, towel, jersey, jock, sock…it’s really quite a traveling medicine show.

These guys are students of the universe, uncaring of the X and O. They are suppliers of the existential, the stuff fans don’t get to see from seats at the stadium, or couches…Modern day shamans!

The warrior in me hopes they bring a whole lotta sage to burn Saturday.

    That was piss poor coaching decision there. Why not go for it, the punt netted 8 more yards and only 30 seconds left. Make the first down and least can try a fg. Stupid play and time calling.

    Sorry, it’s senior day, dude. It’s a huge distraction for me. You know the old saying about how senior day is a distraction for teams, right? It’s distracting.

    That punt was ahead scratcher.

    Going for it and not making it on 4th down would have given them the ball on the 40. Those extra 20 yards may be the reason they took a knee.

    Then again, given they were going against the wind, it was a reasonable gamble to go for it. I can see both sides on that one.

    The punt netted 20 yards. And it was very close to netting 39 yards.

    A lot of posters on this forum may think Troll stands for Tool. Why keep posting about this stupid issue and remove all doubt?

    It sure feels like Wake dominated that half a lot more than the score reflects. We are absolutely rabbits foot lucky to only be down by one TD going into the locker room.

    I would have run a sweep or swing pass on third and six to set up a shorter 4 th down and run some more clock. With a tail wind I’d give Bambard a shot from 50 based on what I saw at BC last week.

    We dominated possession and were even in yardage but the two empty drive, to start and end the half were the difference.

    Yes we can!

    And Wolford took a hit on all three plays…

    And then we might have gotten the best break of the game on the difficult punt …

    Roll on Finley and Harmon and Hines !!
