I am Wes Welker....

This video is great.
Nevermind its a shameless plug for a Oklahoma Newspaper or the fact that the Little Girl said Wes made Mike Leach. Everytime I see that boy play it makes me wonder what I could do if I just let it all hang out and play every minute like it was my one and only shot.

I am Wes Welker.

Nothing to be ashamed of

A couple of notes from last night's Super Bowl...

Wes - had the Patriots won - would have been the MVP of the game. Any person who watches football knows that would have been the case. Wes was the only guy open on most of the plays the Pats ran - and he made the most of every ball thrown to him.

But he wasn't the MVP - Eli was. Lank Johnson told me last night he couldn't believe the other sister won that game - but he did.

I can't even imagine how much money casino operators raked in last night - I imagine a couple of them are near liver failure this morning.

In Tech news - National Signing Day is near - we hope to have a recruiting wrap-up posted this week - we welcome all of you guys to Tech with open arms. We hope you find the women to be hospitable and equally as talented as you...

The love for Wes grows

I'm not a journalist - as you can tell - I barely write at all....sorry.

BUT...

The Wes Welker story is popular - and so often written about because it's the ultimate David against Goliath story.

The small man with the big talent and even bigger heart faces unsurmountable odds and yet comes out victorious. But only after he's pictured at age 4 with his pet bunny, Thumper. I guarantee a call from Wes to his mom today:

"Ma, why the hell did you give them that picture?"

"It's cute son, you loved that bunny."

"You understand I'm gonna have bunny stickers all over my locker tomorrow, right?"

"It won't be the worst thing that's ever happened to you, Wes."

And once again Ma will be right and Wes will beat back bunnies and win a Super Bowl ring. Wes Welker is unstoppable. Maybe he can even join Timmy Smith and come home with a Super Bowl MVP trophy.

Wes Welker and The Masked Rider

Want to read a short biography? I should note that it is a well written biography. Jim McCabe of the Boston Globe brings us a great story about Wes and his rise to prominence and nationwide man-crush status (Link to NY Times blogger Mark St. Amant).

I should also note that it's a bit long - so grab a beverage and enjoy.

Yes Welker

Oh Wes, we knew you when.

My favorite bit of McCabe's article:

In his four years at Heritage Hall, Welker had scored 90 touchdowns in an assortment of ways - 53 on the ground, 27 on passes, 7 on punt returns, and 3 on interceptions. For good measure he had added 35 field goals, 165 extra-point kicks, and four 2-point conversions. Use your fingers, toes, and calculator, and you'll get 818 points in 49 games, an average of 16.7 per. Oh, and by the way, as a defensive back he made 190 tackles, had 22 interceptions, and 9 fumble recoveries.

Is that all?

Now - about the Masked Rider...

Kevin Burns happens to be Seth's man-crush at the moment - and he may have already commented on this in my absence...

Kevin Burns "Sanctioned" by Masked Rider Advisory Committee...

For those that haven't been keeping up - years ago this same committee deemed it unsafe to ride across the Jones at full tilt with the reins in your mouth and not in your hands. I can understand that. Last thing we want is to lose a Masked Rider. I get the felling Kevin's a better horseman than that though.

I think Kevin's legend grows as his mustache does. Anyone that saw him on national TV busting tail across the field with his guns up - well that was just awesome.

The man in the black hat...the lawman who breaks all the rules and steals all the ladies hearts...

Kevin Burns is trouble.

"Tell them I'm comin'! And Hell's comin' with me! You hear?!? Hells' comin' with me!"

Too bad Wes doesn't have any eligibility remaining

Southern California's Pop Warner Superstar

This kid has some Wes Welker qualities to him. Don't be surprised if Pete Carroll is already on his "Recent Calls" list. Maybe we can get him to leave his home state and come to Texas in 10 years.
