October 6, 2007 -- HOOVER, ALA. --Victory Victory That's Our Cry!

Spud "HELL YEA I'M A POTATO" Dick ran the two minute drill like he was Brett Farve on one of his best days by driving the Tigers 66 yards in 6 plays to score on a 21 yard touchdown pass to Bryan "not taking a" Mulligan (golf reference) with only 44 seconds remaining to pull the Tigers ahead by 4 points. Dick, and yes it's still funny to type that, completed 5 of 6 on the drive including another 20+ pass to Chris Gasbarra for a key third down conversion. I think it's safe to say that if we were looking for the new leader of the offense after Jeremiah Mark's absence, we've found him! GO SPUD GO! (I'm bringing potato's to Monon...anyone? anyone?)
Picking up the slack for Marks on his third missed game of the season was Curtis Moore who scored two touchdowns on his way to rushing for nearly 200 yards proving that our offensive line is back on track and ready to railroad & pancake block opposing defenses. Mmmm... pancakes... anybody got some syrup? Also adding to our offensive prowess this past weekend was Bryan "still not taking a" Mulligan with 9 catches for 91yrds, Jeff Bonner "Scholars" with 6 catches for 73 yards and Alex "sounds like the beer but only spelled differently" Koors with 5 catches for 44yrds.

The big story for our Tigers, again, was our Black Eye Defense. Holding a stout rushing attack to under 150 yards kept the Panthers Time of Possession relatively low. This, obviously, let our boy Spud go back to work with 1:59 remaining in the game. Pride stickers should be awarded to my region rat boy Tyler Doane who had eight tackles including 3.5 sacks on the day! Talk about pressure, the Black Eye's got it done with 7 total sacks and one interception by our shut down corner Jevon "don't call me Prime-Time" Pruitt.

The Tigers and Panthers of BSC, sans Dr. Bottoms who was reported out for the game with an "undisclosed" injury, played in front of a 3,500 member crowd in Birmingham, Al on BSC's first homecoming since 1939! Talk about walking into the lions den and ruining a good party. The game was tight from the beginning of the second quarter and the teams traded scoring until the final gun leaving our Old Gold Boys at an impressive 4-1 on the season.

Next up? Our arch in-conference rivals Trinity Tigers. That's right, those pesky maroon and silver Tigers who seem to always put our playoff hopes just out of reach. We need a HUGE pep band showing for this one troops because it's fall break and it'll be hard for people to stay on campus. PLEASE PLEASE let Ashley and Colonel Ziegler ( This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it ) know that YOU WILL SHOW UP on Saturday for the big game!

GO TIGERS GO!!!!
