Have #1- You have to be 2nd guessing your wave of support for OSU Coach Mike Gundy, since his Monday press conference, seen here:
Obviously, after attacking Jenni Carlson's credibility (which he did, but rightfully so), he wouldn't tell her at the press conference what part of her story was "inaccurate." His reason? "Don't have to."
Personally, I thought her story was too mean spirited. Especially the cheap shots she took at the player, describing how his mom fed him chicken, etc. But don't attack someone's livelihood, and then not specify why, which is what Gundy did. In other professions, on both sides to varying degrees, that could be construed as slander. As you can see at the end of that press conference, Gundy said that maybe he and Carlson should sit down and clarify things, because he didn't think of it from a livelihood perspective. Hopefully, that will happen, or already has.
Have #2- UTEP will have to make SMU beat them through the air. TCU held SMU to 149 yards rushing on 47 carries last week, and beat them 21-7. That's what the Miners need to do.
Upon 1st look, that may be too much to ask. 3 of the 4 starting defensive linemen for the Miners might still be out with injuries (Olalaken, Moore, Riddick), leaving the run-stopping duties to the hobbled linebacker corps (Jones/Vincent= sore ankles). As per usual, we'll not know who'll be active for the game until the game.
On this weeks depth chart, safety Braxton Amy is listed as a linebacker. Amy leads the team in tackles, but if he's going to have to take on 300 pound linemen with his 195 pound frame, his production will go down. Also, remember, he got injured last year while playing linebacker.
1 more note, the top 3 tacklers on the defense are defensive backs (Amy, Quintin Demps, and Damon Cromartie-Smith). The defensive line needs to get healthy in a hurry...
Have Not #1- If you have not seen this hit, take a gander:
It's the best that I've seen in hockey since last year, when Brian Campbell laid out R.J. Umberger:
And they say that football is the most violent sport... But the most dangerous sport???
Anything related to any kind of car racing gets my vote.
Have Not #2- I have not hosted a radio show on KROD for a while, but that changes Saturday. I'm back filling in for Robert Garcia on "Crunchtime" Saturday morning, from 10-1 (mst) on KROD. If you live out of the area, and want to listen, they stream live now and you'll be able to check it out. I'm currently trying to line up guests for the show. I'll keep from revealing who that would be, as I'm not one to try and jinx myself, mmmmmmK?
Happy Humpday!
