So maybe Jason Whitlock has a point. He's definitely a polarizing character, but personally I enjoy most of his articles and interviews he does. If you're not familiar with Whitlock, he's originally from Indianapolis; was a standout offensive lineman at Warren Central in the 80's blocking for Jeff George; played football at Ball State; and is currently a sportswriter for the Kansas City Star. Check out his Wikipedia entry if you care for more info about the guy, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Whitlock. Anyway, he regularly calls into The Drive with JMV on local Indy station AM 1260 in the afternoons. JMV challenged him last week before the Ball State season opener to put something on the line if the Cardinals don't win at least 10 games this season. This of course is after Whitlock's hyping of his alma mater as a potential BCS buster. After all this talk, I took time the other night to watch the Ball State vs Navy game on Friday. Those Cardinals sure are fun to watch! They remind me of Boise State from a few years ago, but not quite as innovative or risky as those teams were. Apparently Ball State has scheduled several non-Saturday games this season, which is a great way to get on national TV and build up some BCS hype like teams in the past such as Boise State, Louisville, Utah, etc in recent years. Best of luck to the Cardinals and maybe I'll make the hour drive to Muncie for one of their games before it gets too cold out!
In comparison, my beloved Buckeyes sucked up the field today against Ohio U and were lucky to get the victory. Hopefully the Buckeyes let loose next Saturday night against USC and put up a good fight against the Trojans. I have a feeling it could get ugly early though, especially if Beanie Wells is not 100%. We'll see...
