Reggie Bust

Because the national media don't know nothing about no Saints...

I'm not going to compare Bush to other backs on other teams, because obviously the comparison isn't fair considering that offensive line talent varies greatly throughout the league - as does coaching philosophies.

However, I wish compare Bush's numbers to Deuce's because it's, obviously, they share the closest scenarios.

Reggie Bush '06 - 155 rushes, 565 yards, 3.6 yards per carry, 6 TD
Deuce McAllister '06 - 244 rushes, 1057 yards, 4.3 yards per carry, 10 TD

Now, give Reggie almost 100 more rushing attempts, you think his numbers will be equal to Deuce?  You think, with 100 more attempts, Reggie could possibly have more than 10 TDs?

'06 Receiving
Deuce - 8 First Downs, 0 TDs
Bush - 32 First Downs, 2 TDs

Yes, I know Deuce doesn't receive much, but the point is to show you that Reggie also had 2 other TDs, NOT counting his Special Teams Punt Return.

That's 9 TDs for Reggie Bush in his rookie year, folks.  That's more than Colston (8) and, I think, every other Saint on the team besides Drew  Brees, the QB.



Let's get to '07

Reggie Bush - 157 carries, 581 yards, 3.7 yards per carry, 4 TDs
Deuce McAllister - 24 carries, 92 yards, 3.8 yards per carry, 0 TDs

Now, granted Deuce was hurt for most of the year, look at the yards per carry.  This is the same line, guys.  When Deuce went down, did Bush get more carries?  NO.  He had nearly the same amount as '06, scroll up and check it out.  What does this mean?  It means lack of committment to the running game.  Deuce didn't nearly get his normal amount of carries in the games he DID play.  Good ol' SP got pass-happy.

Receiving

Bush - 24 1st downs, 2 TDs  (For the record, he caught 15-less passes than in '06)
Deuce -  0 1st downs, 0 TDs

I can't recall if Bush had any special teams points or not.  Regardless, look at those numbers and what do they tell you?  They're consistent AND they're just as good, if not better than Deuce.  The team had a bad year, SP got pass-happy, and now the media wants to bash on Reggie.

So, what IS wrong with Reggie?
- He can't run up the middle.

Oh, really?  Oh, fucking really?  Anyone who says that deserves to have their face bashed in to the point that they can't watch football anymore for the rest of their life - because they OBVIOUSLY don't know what they're seeing when they watch the game.  (Actually, I don't think they actually watch the game.)

So, how can I say such things?  Read these fucking stats, bitches:
Reggie Bush - Situation Rushing '07
Direction - Average Yards Per Carry
Wide Right - 3.0
Right - 3.7
Middle - 4.4
Left - 3.8
Wide Left - 3.4

Hmm, well it seems to me that Reggie ran stronger the closer he was to the middle all year last year.

Clearly, these people don't know what the fuck they're talking about.  And, if you doubt any of these stats or just want to see for yourself go to Yahoo! Sports and type in the name of the player you want and dig up their stats.  In fact, I'll give you a convenient link to Reggie Bush's 2007 Situation Stats so you can confirm that he actually runs BETTER up the middle than anywhere else.

Now, class fucking dismissed.  Watch some fucking Saints games before you start talking about Reggie Bush.

Crisis

Lately, it seems I'm the only one not having a crisis.  I mean...  Don't get me wrong, I'm going to have some rough financial times ahead with one roommate gone, but I think I set myself up to deal with it properly.  Plus, I've made due before.  I've been there, it's not like I won't survive if I go back again.

That's it, though.  That's the most of my worries.  And, I'm just not really worried.

Something's gotta give, hey?

Sorry for those of you that are going through ordeals - especially if I don't show enough sympathy.  It's just the mood I've been in lately.

Apathetic

So, I've had a considerable amount of apathy for nearly everything lately.

I made a 68 (10-pt. scale, so it's 2pts away from a C) on my Marketing test, but the teacher accidently put one of the wrong chapters on it, so there was a re-take and I didn't even feel like retaking it.  I just stuck with my 68.

I'm also not sure about my Creative Writing class.  The teacher says it's an automatic F if we don't have some work in our portfolio, but I don't know if she means an F for the individual work or for the entire portfolio.  Either way, it doesn't really seem to phase me.  I don't have some of the work and it's not like I can do what's missing because it requires her feedback on it.  So, whatever, it is what it is.  My poor classroom ethics doesn't mean I'm not one of the best in the class at the actual work (when I choose to do it.)

I gotta try to schedule classes for next semester for Tuesday with my advisor, but I really don't feel like doing it.

I'm pretty apathetic towards the local supply of girls, too.


There are a few things I do have generally decisive feelings about and, it's mostly music.  I wish my colleagues felt the same way because I'd like to get some work done.  I'm ready to play again.

GenderQueer

I don’t think I’ve ever put this in my blog before, but it’s nothing new.  In fact, most people that know me well know this about me now.

I’m genderqueer.  My personal identity of myself is outside of the Male/Female Binary.  It took many, many years for me to fully understand, come to terms, and understand it in a manner that I can explain it to others.

Though it’s pretty random at any given moment, overall I feel about 60% Female and 40% Male.  My masculine body, however, accomodates for this and brings me back to 50/50.  Which means, I’m an androgyne.  I sort-of float freely between genders.  I tend to present myself in this way as well.  Ever wondered why I couldn’t stand to wear collared shirts and ties?  Not that I want to wear dresses, but I enjoy wearing clothes that can be worn freely between both sexes.   And, this isn’t because I’m affraid to wear gender-specific clothing in public, it’s because my personal taste wants androgynous clothing.

So, what does this mean about my sexuality?  Not much.  Though, now I’m pretty sure most of you know the type of mate that I seek.  A female-bodied androgyne (someone who is pretty much genderqueer themselves, only they have a vag.)

Sentiments

So, I miss a few people...

Amanda.  And, I know you.  I know you well.  You’re not coming.  It’s probably for the best, too.  Don’t worry, though.  Eventually....

I miss Beccuh, who I haven’t really talked to in ages.  The last time I tried to text her, I sent a message saying "sometimes, when my mom is sleeping, i like to piss on her".  Unforunately, it was no longer Beccuh’s number and I really offended whoever had the phone.  Heh.

I miss my old band.

I miss a school friend or three.

I miss a slew of my ex co-workers.  I run into them every now and then, though.  I like to keep it that way.  I enjoyed the friendships I built.

I actually kinda miss doing the family thing.

I miss good ol’ Aitch, Blue, and Greeny... buncha crazyasses.  It’s scary how they’re all either married or have babies.  No more late nights, hey?  No more girl talk.

Yeah, I miss girl talking...  Atleast Krista is still around.  Maybe we’ll girl talk again some time, yea?

I kinda miss my old French class at UL and just some of the people I met there throughout my years.  I’ve met some pretty interesting characters.


So, today I realized that I’m going to be 23 years old this year.  I think that absolutely sucks.  The clock has officially started ticking and I have the next few years to establish a life for myself and create reasons to keep living.  I think 29 may be my deadline.  After that, I’ll get things in order for about a year and then just shut it down.  So, hopefully I can acheive a few of my goals and give myself a reason to continue living past 30.  If not, oh well... I tried.

I think Mary (yes, you) may be the only one who reads this and finds that last paragraph completely reasonable.

C’est tout.
