Dear Mr. Valdas Whathisname,

My unworthy colleague seems to really like slinging mud.  He has recently 
gone a so low as to ridicule my speling abilities.  I refuse to step down 
to his level.  I would, however, like to point out this article which 
recently appeared in our very own Goober School newspaper 'Goober Today'.


                           Bimbo Eruptions
                       By Chief Reporter Goober

    This investigative reporter has uncovered some startling new evidence
about Mr. J.J. Clyde, head of the Institute for Geauxing and Kneauxing.
Mr. J.J. was recently seen leaving the You-no-Tell Me-no-Tell Motel
in the arms of a young lady.  After seeing them leave in seperate
vehicles, I had the chance to catch up with the young lady for an 
interview.  Miss Gennifer RosePetal, revealed that her and Mr. J.J.
have been having an affair for several years.  She also revealed that
Mr. J.J. was responsible for all the evil in the world and that she
would be leaving for South America and would therefore be unavailable
for further comment.



So there you can see what kind of slick individual is the head of the
Institute for Geauxing and Kneauxing.  Perhaps the reason that he has
stooped so low as to ridicule my speling abilities is that his school
really has nothing new to offer you.  

I urge you once again to join us as a Graduate student at the Goober
School for the Clueless.

Help!
We're all familiar with the pitfalls of woofing, the possibilities of
jinxing a team, and all that wonderful folklore.  I want to go on record
as officially protesting ESPN's Beano Cook and his analysis of the 
upcoming year. ;-) Being a Syracuse fan, the fact that he apparently picked
the Orange #2 (behind Notre Damn) makes me QUITE uneasy.  Could this 
be another case of his ECMB, just like when he picked West Virginia to
win it all in '88?  
(Grin)
Of course not!  If the Orange is lucky enough to get Notre Damn in whichever
of the big bowls they go to, they will BEAT those semiliterate hominids.
But really, linebacker Dan Conley (who futzed his knee last year early in 
the season) suffered a setback today in practice, and without him the 
backers will be significantly weaker than expected.  Still very strong,
but not as stellar as predicted.  

For now, it's time to focus on East Carolina, Texas, and Ohio State.  And
yes, the 'Cuse can finish in the top 5.  Especially since they don't beat
themselves into oblivion by playing too many top 10 teams.  (Only one so
far, actually.)  Go Orange!  Woof, NOT!

Who is this guy??  I predict he will be considered very foolish on a
*national scale* by the time the sun rises on August 27th.  If for no
other reason, because the was quoted as saying:

>4) "Bill Walsh will beat Texas A&M by three touchdowns."

This is really getting a little desperate.  I really think the issue is
more between a potential blowout by A&M or a possible close game.
Seems, just in the way he put it, that he idolizes Walsh to the point of
irrationality.

Few would argue that talent wise, A&M is either superior or even far
superior to Stanford.  Yet, this guy apparently takes it on faith that
Walsh's preparation and game plan will be so superior to Slocum's that
it ALONE (evidenced by the reference to Walsh in the place where
Stanford would have normally been expected) will result in a difference
of 3 touchdowns.

First of all, in my opinion, Walsh's genius is overrated.  Second, this
guy doesn't realize that R.C. Slocum is no slouch when it comes to
coaching and preparing his team, which is apparently beyond this guys
fanatical pro-Walsh perspective.  He really should have saved his most
unlikely predictions for later in the season (most people may have
forgotten about him by then), cause in all likelihood, this one's going
to come back to haunt him very quickly.

Okay, let's pretend for a minute that they ARE good.  If they win the ACC (
yeah, right), that puts them in either the Orange against the Big-8, Cotton 
against the SWC, or Sugar against the SEC.  Or the Fiesta, assuming they 
are #1 or #2 going in, and that the other team (#1 or #2) is Miami--excuse me, 
the Big East champ, whoever that might be--or Notre Dame.  But that's a lot of 
pretending.  (Am I right so far, Mark?)

My point is, at least in the Bowl Coalition, N C State should have no 
problem getting the exposure of a major bowl, if only they are good enough 
to earn their way into one.  But until then, whining because no one watches 
the Peach Bowl won't do any good.

at least a veteran one with some definite raw talent. hmm ...

Wow! This is a shocker.  I know Dante hadn't seen much
action last year at TB, but he had seen alot of action
at flanker ... and he did quite well.  Has good receiver hands.
Can anyone expound on these happenings?

Also, any information on Corey Stringer (the next great OSU lineman :)) ?
Does it look as though he's a prospective starter?  I think the Bucks
are expecting great things from this guy.

Let's see....  Walsh shows up on a recruiting visit at a high school

More Buckeye news for anybody that cares -

Foster Paulk, and the backup Noseguard to Greg Smith whose
name escapes me at the moment, have been suspended by Cooper
for academic reasons.  

Rod Smith, who reported into camp at well over 300 lbs and
out of shape, is still not being allowed to practice until 
he's got himself into better shape.  I think this is the
2nd year in a row this has happened.

Dante Lee has reportedly left the team and will not be

Todd Fletcher produces the standings in the net Heisman poll, and among

I'm not complaining about Todd; it's the people who cast these votes that
ought to have their heads examined.)

> Robert Smith, RB      Ohio State          27 pts.

Skipped spring football to run track, might start the fall as 3rd string TB.
OSU has at least four starting-quality TBs, who will share playing time.
That makes it very difficult for any one to pick up an award.

> Steve Tovar, LB       Ohio State           6 pts.

Probable All-American, but (IMO) won't even take the two major defensive
awards for which he is eligible.  Billed as the "next Spielman" a few
years ago; if that's true he has underachieved.

> Butler By'not'e, RB   Ohio State           4 pts.

Skipped spring football to run track, might start the fall as 4th string TB.
(See also Smith for TB problems.)

> Chico Nelson, DB      Ohio State           4 pts.

Might make all-conference if he has a good year.

> Bob Hoying, QB        Ohio State           3 pts.

Loads of talent, but: young and inexperienced, unlikely to start, had a
mediocre spring.  Might make honorable mention all-conference if he has
a surprisingly good year and takes the starting job.

> Kirk Herbstreit, QB   Ohio State           3 pts.

Converted option QB.  Runs well, average arm (at best).  Likely not even
one of the five best QBs in the Big Ten.

> Joey Galloway, WR     Ohio State           1 pt.

Possible all-conference.  Might be a serious A-A candidate if we had a
QB that could get him the ball often.

> Greg Smith, NT        Ohio State           1 pt.

Big Ten sack leader 1990, close to it in 1991.  A lock for all-conference,
a shot at all-american.  But an NT for Heisman?  No way.

I'll see all of you OSU fans 9/5 at the Louisville game (provided that
my tickets show up on time...).

According to the Atlanta Constitution, Pepsi State has pulled this

spring of 1922!

Hmm ... I think technically speaking the "host" or "home" team of 
the Blockbuster Bowl will be the 2nd choice team from the Bowl
Coaltion, Tier II (*).  Also, Pepsi State cannot attend the 
BB "regardless of its record", so that probably gets them off
