BLOOMINGTON, IN. — The Indiana Hoosiers survive a wet one down in Bloomington as they hold on to beat Virginia 20-16 in their home opener. They’re 2-0 for the third time in four years and everybody and their baby’s momma is ecstatic about it. However, we’ve seen this movie way too many times. So let’s take it one week at a time.

How often have we seen the Hoosiers jump out of the birthday cake butt naked foamin’ at the mouth 2-0? They’ve even gotten out of the gate a few times 4-0 with everybody goin’ nuts about them finally turnin’ the corner only to see them get into conference play and completely nose dive.

Well…it’s the life of a Hoosier fan so I’m just tellin’ boyz to slow their role this mornin’. It’s IU not a traditional power like Ohio State, Penn State or Michigan. Live in the moment or for the next 6 days because Ball State on paper looked like a win over the summer. However, the Cardinals just went up to South Bend on Saturday and knocked over some of Big Momma’s furniture and dipped their fingers into her cherry pie while it was still coolin’ on the window ledge under the watchful eye of Touchdown Jesus.

So don’t count them out next week. I’m not sayin’ that it would be impossible for IU to beat them but Ball State isn’t goin’ to show up and just give away their sneakers and jewelry. The Hoosiers better take their’s off because DeBo is comin’ down the street. That’s all I’m sayin’!

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! The Hoosiers look pretty good and they’ve got a lot of young talent on the field playin’ several true freshman that are makin’ an immediate impact like running back Steve Scott. Ole boy went NUTS on Virginia Saturday puttin’ up 204 yards on 31 carries just 3 yards shy of breakin’ Anthony Thompson’s single game rushin’ school record by a true freshman of 207 yards set in 1986. He’s a beast and the Hoosiers will be in good hands like All-State with him totin’ the rock for the next few years.

Then there’s the reignin’ Indiana Mr. Football and former Ben Davis standout, Reese Taylor. They’re extremely excited about what he brings to the table in terms of his explosiveness on the edge. Yep, it should be fun to watch the Hoosier this year but relax and take it one game at a time because 2-0 means absolutely nothin’ for Indiana Football. Stop me when I start lyin’!

Playas Thesaurus: 

1) Dun: noun – the person in question, dude, guy, etc. It’s whoever I’m talkin’ about and its non-gender specific.

2) Ole boy: noun – the person that I’m currently talkin’ about.

The G is excluded from the endings of all words because the G is near and dear to my heart because I’m from “The G” which is Gary, Indiana. So I only use the G when I’m talkin’ about “The G!”
