Week 6 (Columbus Traffic Edition)
The ability to write compelling profiles, blog posts, and stories is a specific skill and talent that not many possess. To enrapture the audience; bring out a new world; or just grip the reader’s attention through unique prose. That’s special. The same applies to the ability to lead.
It takes a very specific set of attributes and skills to not only influence your fellow person, but to create a cohesive team with them. These same skills can be abused, however. The ability to communicate in a compelling way, utilizing specific patois can be a FastPass to success. It can also reap consequences that you weren’t even aware you were sowing.
Is this a flowery way of saying that Urban Meyer got in over his head yet again? Possibly. It’s also a way to point out hypocrisy. Like the backlash towards my employer for placing Customer Service Week on top of Mental Health Awareness Week. Lots of wonderful language that normally works. Not this year.
***
A week stuffed to the brim and it’s only Wednesday. We also have a weekend teeming with big events!
Ohio State hosts the Maryland Terps during homecoming. Hopefully it’s a fun game, but that Ohio State’s defense continues to improve.
Penn State travels to Iowa for a TOP FIVE matchup against the Hawkeyes. This is where we find out who really is a contender, and who’s just a pretender. I have Penn State by 2.
MSU takes its turn playing Buttger. I would be careful if I were MSU though; this smells like a trap game. Actually, that just might be New Jersey.
Michigan travels to Nebraska. There they will enact swift justice upon the Cornhuskers for travelling too far to the west, thus rendering U of M’s fight song inaccurate.
The Broncos host the birds of Ball State. WMU is #1 in the MAC and plans to keep it that way. Let’s ride, motherfucker.
CMU travels to one of the most haunted campuses in the United States to take on the Ohio Bobcats. Will the Chips make it out alive? At least Mr. Bruewer did.
GVSU plays fake business school founded by Satan’s family: The one, the only, The DeVos’s Northwood University. I hope we win by 100.
NFL x WTS Bets
The most dangerous team in football travels to LA to take on the Chargers who may have the best jerseys in the NFL. Whoever wins this game gets to claim that title though. Let’s hope it’s the Brownies.
The Lions are still allowed to play in the NFL this week.
The Steelers host Kait and Jonathan’s former hometown team, the Broncos. IDK how the Steelers are favored in this one. Maybe they went out back and Lenny-ed Ben Roethlisberger.
Come on home.
