I told you guys last week that 55 would be on bye week this week. Not the usual 55, not the usual logo. I also said I would still bring you a little something this week so that you could get caught up on the week in Cardinal Athletics. The main reason you even read 55 every week. Ok, one of the main reasons, the other is because of my hard hitting journalistic….hahaha ok lets move on. Here’s what happened in Cardinal Athletics this week plus a few thoughts I had about Red-White, FSU and Charlyn Corral….this…is…55….kinda….
- For now, Jameis Winston will be a part of Thursday Nights epic showdown as #2 FSU heads to town to face YOUR Louisville Cardinals at PJCS. FSU will bring to town a 23 game winning streak, reigning Heisman trophy winner, the fact that they are the reigning and defending National Champions and oh yeah, the fact that they should be the #1 team in the land. It’s the #1 overall total Defense who gives up just 14.6 a game vs FSU’s Defense that gives up 21.6. They score about 37 a game and we put up about 31. It will be a tough game regardless but I am gonna go 34-31 on a John Wallace FG at 0:01. MADNESS ENSUES!!!!!
Yup
- The Spread for this game has dropped to 4
THIS JUST IN
- Coach Jeff Walz will bring in 8th grade phenom Nyah Green on December 7th. The #1 player in the 2019 class is only an 8th grader but after you watch this video you will see that she’s no ordinary 8th grader
Fantastic news. Everyone go wish Happy Birthday to our very own Coach Walz!
- The annual Red-White Scrimmages concluded yesterday with another game decided by 3 points. This time team Montrezl defeated team Chris Jones 89-86. Chris Jones led the way for the Red team with 28 points and added 6 assists and 7 rebounds. Wayne still being Wayne added 20, Gill 15 and Mango with 13. For the white squad, Montrezl had 24 and 8, Shaq scored 18, Anas added 13 points and Captain Cool Terry Rozier did some slight work as heis statline read: 19 points, 6 rebounds, 4 steals and 5 assists. Terry will qualify for the 2015 HE GONE award…..
