And, as expected, Romo & the Cowgirlz didn’t let me down.

What’d I Tell Ya™ about Heights & Southwest?
Three years ago, it was Donnell Dickerson.  The last couple of years, it’s been Marquis Jackson.  And it’s been Heights doing the hurting.
And now, it’s the Jackets’ turn to get hurt:
Fort Worth Southwest’s junior tandem of receiver Robbie Rhodes and quarterback Wesley Harris combined to set multiple national and state records in a 66-21 homecoming victory over Fort Worth Arlington Heights on Friday night at Clark Stadium.
[…]
Harris and Rhodes delivered a simple game plan in taking command of the contest. When in doubt, put the ball up and let the 6-foot-1 Rhodes go after it.
Rhodes finished with 10 receptions for 394 yards and had TD catches of 68, 20, 53, 48, 74, 32, 41, and 29 yards. The eight receiving TDs ties a national record set by Earvin Johnson of Cathedral High in Los Angeles on Nov. 7, 1998, according to the 2011 edition of the National High School Sports Record Book.
I guess I shouldn’t get too pissed when another school does to us what we’ve been doing to everyone else.  We’ll just have to run it up on ’em next year.
But it does expose a flaw in the Jackets.  Same one that afflicts a lot of teams around here:  The secondary.
Sigh.  Expect South Hills to do this next week.
I hope to Cthulu Rhodes is a senior.

The first offensive series was…a three-and-out.
The game was actually tied at one point in the second quarter, 10-10.
Against the worst defense in college football.
Don’t let this four-lettered writeup fool you.  Had OU played like this against TU, there’s a greater-than-zero chance they’d’ve gotten their asses whipped.
Sure, Ryan Broyles had a career night, catching 13 Landry Jones throws for 217 yards and two TDs.  And yeah, Dom Whaley went 30-for-165 against Rock Chalk.
But this game should have been 77-something.  OU stunk it up, playing to the level of its competition.  Bobby Stoops best be busting some chops this week in practice.

Russell Wilson can throw and  catch TDs.
He threw one to Jake Pedersen, and caught one from Montee Ball.  (Ball scored three on the ground himself.)  All part of a ho-hum day for Bucky at Camp Randall.
If Bucky had had Wilson last year, TCU would’ve gotten their asses kicked.

I expected El Choko to fuck things up…and it didn’t take him long to come through.
An interception on his first pass led to three points, and he was conservative – or maybe, Red Headed Jesus was – the rest of the way.
But Rob Ryan’s defense kept the ‘Girlz in the game the rest of the way.  That is, until a three-and-out gave the ball back to Tom Brady with about three minutes left.  Whereupon he drove the Pansies eighty yards down the field for the winning score.
Way to let another one get away from you, ‘Girlz.  ‘Course, I was pulling for you to lose anyway, so it counts as a win for me.
This week:  3-1.  Overall…
…oh, wait.  Got this bonus game:
at Cincinnati 27, Indian-hapless 17
Andy 25-32-264 and a score.  Bengals were so impressed, they went and traded Carson Palmer to Da Raaiiiiii-duhhhhhs.
Have fun withering away in Oblivion™, Carson.
This week:  4-1.  Overall:  28-6.
The PFW will return Friday, when we mourn the passing of a former Horned Frog.
