Get that MofO!

Friends of the Buffaloes,

After enduring oddly timed games thus far this season (10 AM, 8 PM, 8 PM), we finally get a normally scheduled game. As the Creator of the game (Joe Paterno) intended, college football should be played at 1:30 PM on a Saturday. One should not argue with the Creator.

This week, the Buffs have the honor of hosting the Miami of Ohio (MofO) Redhawks. After taking on the likes of CSU, ASU and FSU in successive weeks some might think that MofO is a relatively easy opponent. I have but two words for those people. Montana State. Henceforth, let us not utter those two words again. Ever.

This week, it's crucial for the Buffs to put together a complete effort, win the game and prove that they are ready to begin the grueling Big XII season. Not only must we produce an outstanding defensive effort as we did last week, we must discover a rushing game and kicking game. Furthermore, we must, must, must catch and snap the damned ball with competence. Must.

The Redhawks are a proud program. One of the top 20 Division I programs of all time, or so I'm told by the venerable Charles Johnson. Clearly they are not to be trifled with. As such, I plan to bring my A game this week and so should you, Buff faithful. The effort, as always, must begin with a spirited and flawless tailgate. Did I mention we get our 'gate on these days in the GOLD LOT!? The lovely Kiplynn and I will bring some tasty BBQ meats of one sort or another. The rest of you should bring accompanying dishes, beverages and a burning desire to knock that MofO the hell out! 'Gating begins at 11 AM.

CU Saturday!
