SKÍTUR

Posted: 11/20/2013 1:51:45 AM

That's an Icelandic word expressing my feelings right now. Normally, I'm the type that has about one beer a week with a meal and maybe one glass of wine a week with a meal. Right now, I'm on my second glass of wine after the game and I'm feeling it just a little. I'm ready to go to bed, where my wife has been for several hours. She has to get up in the morning to do her volunteer work at Good Works, the Athens homeless shelter. Me, I can sleep in.

While I'm talking Icelandic, one of my mother's two native tongues, let me explain why I usually call our radio announcer Russell rather than "Russ." It's because in Icelandic "Russ" (the sound of the word, not the spelling) means "butt" or "ass." As a kid I didn't know that it wasn't an English word because it's what we used in our household for "butt" and I was appalled when my future aunt called my Uncle Russell "Russ." Aren't you glad you read this inebriated prose?

"Clownshow" is the best I can come up with.

I haven't felt this way about Ohio football since the Knorr days, circa 2003, my roommate and I drinking and watching us on TV versus Northern Illinois, and keeping a tally of how many consecutive plays we ran without fumbling. I feel like I could do that now, except exchange "Beau up the middle" for "fumbling," and it would be more entertaining than the game itself.

Go Bobcats. Beau up the middle.

It's kind of sad that one of the better running backs to go through our program has gone from a Doak Walker candidate to a punchline.

Can't blame Beau in any of this. He runs hard everytime. If TT had been involved in the offense by keeping the ball at least once every so often, we could have kept our opponent's defenses guessing. There was no guessing what we were doing the last 5 or 6 games.

You've got it there. We had 69 net yds rushing last night and Beau had 76 of them. Minus 7 for the rest of the team, including -10 on just three carries for T2. For whatever reason, he's not running this year and that's allowed the opp's Ds to focus on the RB -- Beau, Boykin or whoever.

How Beau is still alive I have no idea. He gets hit and hit and hit and hit.

Agree.

Beau is a really good back.

He knows just as well as we do that he's going to get hammered, "going up the middle", but he does it anyway.

He runs *hard*.

He takes a *beating*.

And I've never seen him throw a tantrum.

I wish we had another 40 of him.

Go Bobcats!

My gosh . . . the PC Police strike once again. I'm glad Keith doesn't share your proclivity for thinking that form is more important than substance. You know I'll continue to use the words I want to express the ideas I want, as imperfect as they may be.

Really? You are going to play the semantics game with someone who volunteers at the homeless shelter? Its not like he was taking a shot at the place or talking about the people it helps in a derogatory matter. "People without homes"=a Homeless person. That is a neutral term, not a putdown or derogatory term. Political Correctness knows no bounds

How about: The Good Works Timothy House, the Athens home for people who don't live in good homes good and don't do other things good either"?

EDITED: To add a 4th "good"

When I first read the 2nd post in this thread, my immediate reaction was to flame the poster and name call. I bit my tongue. OCF, kudos to your wife for her investment in a good cause. Here is their website:

http://www.good-works.net/

And copied from their website, I'll leave you these two discriptive lines: This facility was named The Good Works Timothy House in 2001. This facility provides the only shelter for people without homes in nine southeast Ohio counties. The Good Works Timothy House is one of the oldest rural homeless shelters in Ohio.
