Public Service Announcement:

Ok, here we go! Whatsamatta Binky? Rash under your arms? Red streaks? Sore throat? Swollen glands? Temperature? No worries. You’ve got Scarlet Fever! It’s sweeping the Nation. It’s an epidemic. After last’s performance on National TV, Sugar Ray Rice and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights have arrived. What a game! What a game! A bahn burnah. You found out. Louisville found out. What Pitt, UConn, UNC, 5 other teams, the Public, and that spitting, lisping summamabitch Lou Holtz, already knew. This Rutgers team can play. In the second quarter it was 25-7. No one had the fever yet. Maybe the avian flu, no Scarlet Fever. Channels were changed. Game over, right? The believers stayed tuned. And then it happened. Then the vaunted Scarlet Knight defense buckled in. The vaunted number two-ranked defense in the nation. Adjustments made. Louisville was shut down. Louisville’s second ranked offense was shut down for the rest of the game. The pass rush relentless. Sack after sack after sack after sack after sack. That makes five sacks in all, Binky. Punt after punt after punt after punt after punt after punt. That’s six forced punts in a row. Enter my boy, Sugar Ray Rice. Heisman hopeful, Sugar Ray Rice. Third leading rusher in the nation, Sugar Ray Rice. Big East single season rushing record holder, Sugar Ray Rice. Sugar Ray Rice began hitting the holes. Sugar Ray Rice began running like he ran against Pittsburgh. Like he ran against North Carolina. Like he ran against Ohio. Like he ran against South Florida. He finished with 131 yards and two touchdowns. He’s not the only one who deserves accolades. Fullback Brian Leonard, on his way to a long NFL career, the heart and soul of this team, was exceptional. The fourth quarter was his. Quarterback Mike Teel, coached by the spleenless kid’s father, proved nay sayers wrong. And finally, kicker Jeremy Ito hits the winning field goal with 17 seconds left. Mike Lynch style. Rutgers wins! Rutgers wins! Rutgers wins! Sugar Ray Rice & the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Scarlet Fever! Catch it!

Not for nothing, if Rutgers runs the table, West Virginia not withstanding, it’s just another example for why NCAA Division I football needs to go to play-off system. The BCS rating system is simply ridiculous.

Peace out homies. Six Two and Even! josh q. public
