Well Shoot! I Don't Know Where To Start

It's Homecoming week in Manhattan this week, folks. That means lots of food, lots of fun, lots of booze, and of course a giant beatdown by our football team over a helpless opponent. Right?

Well, not exactly. You see the Wildcats have only won 3 of their last 5 Homecoming contests...a much low percentage than you would like to see. That should all change this weekend, however, as the Guy Morriss and the Baylor Bears come to town. The Bears are 3-5, winless in Conference play, and only a shadow of the team that beat the Wildcats last year in Baylor. Oh yeah, and they will be giving Michael Machen his first career start. The thing about the Bears is they can't run...or actually they can't really do anything. They are 11th in the Conference in total offense and equally inept on defense where they rank 10th in the Conference.

Don't expect the Cats to overlook them after what happened last season, however. Josh Freeman has really come into his own over the past 3 weeks and this game should give the defense and chance to gain some confidence after being gashed by KU and Oklahoma State two of the last three weeks. Remember, a crucial stretch of games is upcoming for the Cats and they should be able to get rolling with an easy win this weekend. My prediction for the game will come tomorrow, when I unveil the "Buhl's Blog" version of "Take It To The Bank."

I mean what the hell. I'm bored and rarely have anything else to do but post on GoPowercat.com and do very minimal amounts of work (which is mostly on my computer anyway). So, I'm throwing around some ideas for weekly features and all sorts of things like that, but if you've got some advice or suggestions I would love to hear from you. Don't worry, this entry is pretty weak, and hopefully we will get much better as the days, weeks, and months go along.

Back to the game, remember that it isn't televised, so if you've got nothing better to do (which you don't) then there's no reason not to be in Manhattan yelling like hell and supporting the team. They need us, and I'm sure there will be plenty of recruits in town too. Kickoff is set for 2:35, with plenty of festivities before and after the game. I believe the tailgating starts in about an hour. And if you see that gal in the picture, ask her to show you her...umm...Wildcat pride. And tell her you'll show her yours in return!
