The Countdown Continues...


That's right. I am going to go ahead and call my shot. This picture is just a little prediction that I have for Friday Night. I thought that I would be nice and include a couple of things to help you all out. One of those is the screen of teams that you will get to pick from. Choose ye this day with whom ye will play. I suggest you come with a pretty good strategy. Second, I thought I would get you some music to get the ol' Tecmo Bowl Blood pumping. This music is awesome and I am so proud of myself for finding it. 5 days and counting...
I think what I'm supposed to say is thank you, I'm out.

Holy Sweet...It is not often, that I am speechless, but that rocked my socks off....nice post. I only hope to make it untrue in a few days...when your lifeless corpse will have to be carted off "the bench"

Riley Alexander said...

Hands down the best entry I have seen thus far in my young blogging career. The edited entry although untrue, was amazing! The music, pushed it into the hall of fame of blog entries. I still am undecided if I will go with my gut, or try my new team thats flown under the radar all these years. There is much to ponder with only 5 days to go.

Hub said...

There is much to ponder, indeed. I too, have been thinking about a different team with a semi-secret weapon. I will be studying every move during the round robin NFC vs AFC games. Only then, will I know for sure what I will do. We'll see. I dare say that the astonishment that you felt as you witnessed this post will be very similar to the astonishment you will feel when I rack up 1, 2, and 3 wins in a row on Friday. I feel like this in USC vs. Nebraska week. You know, huckleberry vs. blackberry. Or maybe Ohio State vs. Michigan week, or even BYU vs. Utah week. (That ought to get Colby going).

Riley Alexander said...

I'm going to go ahead and predict your semi secret weapon, it's a different team... that team, the falcons. Am I right?

Rozier, Sanders....

Hub said...

Nope, sorry. Although, they do have Andre "Bad Moon" Rison as well don't they? That is not the team. They are pretty well known. I will give you a hint if you really care. They have a pro bowl tight end and D end. I am not sure if the QB is Pro Bowl. If not, he is close. Again, I am not sure if I dare use them... we'll see. You thinking about the Falcons? Now that I think about it, they could be decent.

Why dont you all just search, ponder and...... PRAY TO THE GODS OF SKINNY LITTLE TECMO WANNABES THAT MY FINGERS GET AMPUTATED BY FRIDAY CAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY CHANCE YOU HAVE! You girls talk big, but I let my paddle speak for me.
Rack me i'm out!

Tikes said...

After listening to you all bicker over pondering, secret weapons....blah blah

I am just going to show up...sit on MY bench, and destroy whoever is lined up against me....it doesn't matter who I play, I don't need a secret weapon. Your mom just gave me more skill. Deal with it.

Riley Alexander said...

Wow, I think I need to bring a muzzle to this thing. The fact of the matter is, like I mentioned before I have taken bits and peices of each of your games molding myself into the ultimate in efficiancy, defense, offense, special teams, and kick returning, and I'm sure no one came close to the records I put up with either Megget, or Okoye. I was like that dude on the bears special teams returns #23 yeah, him. Also, Casey: The vikings.

Unknown said...

Dudes, are you guys working? or are you blogging mingled with working? do i need to have a frank conversation with your bosses about productivity or lack therof? I know this tournament is nationally televised, but please, for my sake, act like you've been here before. you're embarrassing yourselves

Riley Alexander said...

I am not a graciouse or humble winner, nor will I act as such. When I win, be it known that I will make sure that you and everyone around me knows it. You cant' stop it, you can only hope to contain it. The end.

Hub said...

The viking QB is awful. I am thinking seriously about the eagles. Randall Cunningham, ERRR, QB eagles could be unstoppable. The only thing really stopping me from pulling the trigger on the decision is the fact that Reggie White is the only decent defensive player and I don't think he can get it done. We'll see. I still think the 49ers are my #1. The Bills probably at #2. There are a handfull of others, but we'll see. It really doesn't matter as I could dominate with just about any team. It all depends on a few key factors that I cannot devulge at this point in time.

Riley Alexander said...

Okay, good cause I was thinking about the vikings. Think about it. Not bad. I will have to have a couple different teams in case somone (Casey) steals my 49ers.

Unknown said...

listening to your fight over those teams is like listening to someone fight over owning the kasas city royals and the tampa bay devil rays. or maybe the secret weapon, the t-birds in tee-ball (tyson will understand)

Hub said...

Oh, no, Colby, you have the wrong idea here. I hope you are not thinking this is the little league T-ball Tecmo Tourney. I feel bad for you. You better change your mindset and start thinking big or your going to step into the stadium and stand in awe as I begin to trounce on you.

Tikes said...

T-Birds? Don't you mean tigers? I can still remember yelling out "Crank it Ryno, Crank it"...and Casey, before you go dishing out advice on t-ball...know this. Your eldest two brethren played t-ball with a real baseball. I know that is hard to imagine for some parents. What if my kid gets hit with the ball? and it hurts him? ANSWER: Tell you son that the mitt which hangs on his arm is to prevent the scenario in which you just described. So T-ball for Colby and I is pretty much the majors for the rest of you young folk. "That just happened"!

Hub said...

I didn't even play T-ball. I skipped straight to, not coach pitch, but machine pitch and then to mustang or whatever. I didn't even need that weak trash. I guess that puts me above your starting level. I do agree with your take on parents that want their kid to "have fun" instead of actually participating in a sporting event.

Riley Alexander said...

Ask mom to see if she remembers this, Riley is up to the plate, Dustin (last name protected) is on first, Riley crushes the mush ball farther then Colby and Tyson could hit the solid ball. An easy in the parker, but Riley is mature for his age, and is well knowledged in the works of sportmanship. He doesn't walk the bases, he runs them as a true sport would. As I aproach 2nd I am on the heels of Dustin. As we round 2nd I grow tired of his inferior speed, and pass him up, yeah that's right. I changed lanes into the fast lane and left him in the dust. As I passed him I also shifted from 3 gear to 5th. About 10 seconds after I crossed the plate, Dustin did as well. -That is a true story. I was on the Bears and I was yellow. If needed I could prove it. That is the mark of a stud T-baller.

Riley Alexander said...

I belive the quote of the day for today was not updated. I give you permision to use mine.

Tikes said...

Wow Riley, the display of knowledge amazes me...But with the mush ball rules, you were probably ruled OUT, not for passing Dustin, but for possibly hurting his feelings, and after all, that is what baseball is about...not hurting feelings. You probably ended in a tie for good measure.

Riley Alexander said...

I did wonder why only some kids got to stay on base when they were out, but some didn't, I thought it was lame. But the moment I realized that the league was headed in the wrong direction is besides them not keeping score, was when they handed us our trophies. I was so exited I showed all my freinds, and when theirs said "Champions" as well, I knew somthing was cooking. I disagree with the way of sissiness that t ball is going to. I'm sure they have talked about switching the bat for a pillow, and the mushy ball for a beach ball. The most important thing is the capri sun drinks after the game.

Unknown said...

I cannot even begin to enter in this conversation as it will ensure that I am filled with insatiable rage and disgust for the way in which city baseball has been taken over by the sissy boys. who was it that stood by and watched while the knife of political correctness, and inclusiveness came down on the manhood of payson tee ball? How is it that one could stand by while the rubber band of loving parents and fear of offense and alienation of the weak was tightly secured around the testosterone producing organs of the future of payson baseball. Someone should swing for such a haneous crime, this person, whoever it was/is is now on my most wanted list right after whoever it was that took wings off the air.

Riley Alexander said...

I agree completely. Now, take into consideration that Payson sucks like 50 times more then any other football team in the world. And when does payson start tackle? Freshman year. When does everyone else start tackle..... in like 3rd grade. MMMMMmmmmm that's weird, maybe they would put that together.

Tikes said...

Does payson have tackle....It is called that, but c'mon....really.

Riley Alexander said...

Correction. I will ask you to read the sign up sheet closely. It may look like the word "tackle" but if you take a closer look it's actually "tickle". So, the equvalent to Payson High school's football farm system is having a bunch a little boys running around trying to tickle their oppenents armpits. Meanwhile every other city in the valley/state/nation/world has their little kids in pads and a helmet. What is wrong with payson. We need to stop this trend now.
