They tell you seven is a lucky number. I mean just the other day at Taco Bell, my total came to $7.77 and the gave me a free taco. Now tell me that isn't lucky.
The BSU football squad has amassed a 7-5 record, 5-2 in the MAC West, and now are hoping their luck hasn't ran out quite yet. Any time now, BSU Athletics Director Tommy Collins should be getting a call from a bowl committee asking for Coach Hoke's explosive young quarterback to grace with them his rocket arm or his 31-year old defensive end to wreak havoc on other team's offensive line. Consider it a shoe-in if Miami loses to Central Michigan in Detroit. Sorry Redhawks, you should not have beat us the first time, so consider it karma.
In case you missed it!
BSU placed nine players on the ALL-MAC team.
Dante Love, Chris Miller (no surprise here), Darius Hill, and Robert Brewster accomplished First Team Honors. I am especially glad to see an o-lineman, Brewster, to make the team. Realize that an offense revolves around the line. There the hogs who do all the dirty work in the trenches. Without Brewster, Dan Gerberry, and the rest of the big boys there would be no 27 passing touchdowns. Props to Brewster on earning a well deserved accomplishment.
This past Saturday, BSU knocked off Northern Illinois to claim a share of the MAC West title, 27-21. The Cards finished the day with 370 total offensive yards with 326 coming on the arm of sophomore stud Nate Davis. He also tossed 2 scores while scrambling for another. Ray Winkler, in his first career catch, grabbed a TD to put the away team ahead. Darius Hill had 4 catches for 49 yards and one score. He is now of one 8 semi-finalists for the Mackey Award (given to the best TE in the nation). Best of luck to Darius. Dante Love, once again, surpassed the 100 yard receiving mark, with 9 catches for 135 yards. He ends the regular season with 87 catches and 1229 yards. He is averaging 102.2 receiving yards per game, best for ninth in the country.
Starting in 2008, NIU and BSU will participate in a trophy game. "The Bronze Stalk" consists of pretty much a bronze corn stalk on a wooden stand with each team's logo lining the stand. Hmm, the bronze stalk? I do not know if I like it that much yet? It seems kind of tacky. I mean who wants to play football over a piece of foliage? But considering Mich. St. and Penn St. play for the "Land Grant Trophy" acknowledging them as the two largest land grant schools, I think we'll be ok.
In closing, get your Uncle's favorite 40 Lane tee and your dad's plaid shoes, because BSU is going bowling? Is it America's hat, Toronto and the International Bowl? Or the home of Kid Rock & Eminem, Detroit and the Motor City Bowl? Or I am just completely wrong? It doesn't matter where they play, just as long as they get to play!!!
