Football and friends in San Francisco

This will be a weekend of football and fun for me as I follow the Nevada Wolf Pack to San Francisco's AT&T Park for the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl!  The Pack is taking on Boston College and I have no doubt in my mind that Boston isn't prepared for what we are going to bring them.

Football wise, Colin Kaepernick is amazing.  He's a running quarterback who scored 20 rushing touchdowns in the 2010 season, in addition to the 20 passing TDs he also scored.  The only other QBs with records like that have Heisman's.  Boston's defense is no match for Kaep, especially when he has Via Tuau at his side.

Fan wise, Nevada fans are bananas.  We get inappropriately drunk and boastful.  We are fiercely excited about our boys making such a splash on the scene this year, so we get a little... oh... out of control.  We have no problem with mocking the opposing fans or the opposing team (just ask Boise State, who never wants to come back to Reno because of the treatment they received after the overtime win in November.  I took it upon myself to stroke the hair of the 20 year-old in front of me while simultaneously called him a baby in a creepy weirdo voice.  Then I offered him beer, which I still contend was a fair trade, but ultimately still very creepy on my part).  We have no problem with fighting.  We are Reno; the drinking capital of the United States.  Beware, Boston College.  You haven't met anyone like us before.

While I'm enjoying my blue and silver weekend of shenanigans, I will take a break to don my Nick Mangold jersey while the Jets are taking on the Colts for the Wild Card playoff game.*  Sure, everyone knows how lethal Peyton Manning can be in a game, but I really think the Jets are underrated in this situation.  Though Mark Sanchez was "injured" a few weeks ago, I think the Jets have been hyping up his injury so no one will expect how well he is going to play on Saturday.  When he's on his game, Sanche is fire.  And I believe he will be fire against the Colts.

You also have a Jets defense that can hold it's own against the Colts.  Revis on Reggie Wayne?  Revis will dominate that match up.  Cromartie against Garcon?  It's gonna get real ugly real quick.  It'll be the kind of football that's fun and exciting to watch, no matter which side of the ball you're on.

I feel good about this weekend.  I will be consuming copious amounts of my contraband Four Loko we amassed before it was taken off shelves, which means I'm going to get Quatro Crazy on some Boston College fans and, probably, the city of San Francisco at large.  Should I never return from this debaucherous weekend, I preemptively assure you that I went out with a bang.  25,000 Nevada fans converging on San Francisco, there are bound to be causalities and my liver is going to be one of them.

And I'm out,
Blanche Sanche

*Let it be known that every game I've worn my Mangold jersey during, the Jets have won.  I expect my baseless superstition to hold true during this game, as well.
