Week 1
Recruiting
Time to hit the recruiting trail once again. Let’s see who loves us this year. Last year we got by pretty cheaply. Let’s see if Buddha is still with our quest…

Yes! Only two players idolize us this year! One QB rated a 14 and one WR rated a little high at 29. Baa baa. By obligation, I offer them scholarships and continue the search for more talent. I may actually try to move up academically this year, as I am a bit worried about getting the axe. The ideal candidate will be academically safe, say a 3.2 with 1200 SAT scores, and absolutely suck on the field.

But before we get there let’s start with the search for the 2002 Rudy Scholarship Winner. This year, in a new format, we are going to select the three candidates who have the best combination of stupidity and football ineptitude, then give the Scholarship to the first one who accepts our scholarship offer. If Gary Brock, last year’s winner, is any indication of what will happen this year, the decision could go down to the wire. For all of those out there that have forgotten, Mr. Brock took ten weeks to make up his mind about the free ride to Notre Dame, despite having no football abilility and no brains. Let’s get this thrilling search underway!

It takes a while, but here they are. This year’s Rudy Scholarship candidates:

S Marshall Chapman from Brea-Olinda HS in Brea, CA.
The clear leader, Marshall is rated a 5 at his position, and brings a 1.80 GPA, 571 SAT.
WR Lionell Cooley from Russell County HS in Phenix City, AL.
1.87 GPA, 618 SAT, 14 rating
OT Jake Finch from Herbert E. Lehman HS in the Bronx.
1.83 GPA. 650 SAT. 9 rating.

We offer all these guys scholarships and we’ll let them fight it out for the rest of the year. Once we get our winner, we’ll revoke the offers to the others. The goal is to see if we can graduate any of these scholarship winners. Be sure to root loudly!

We also begin our legitimate recruiting. RB is distinctively thin on low-rated, academically safe students, but guard is a treasure trove. 5 perfect zeros with safe academics! We make phone calls to all five, toss out a couple of scholarship offers and get ready for our first game of the year. Here we come, Brigham Young!

Game 1
Pregame
I have sweet news for all of you out there with your beer and chips in hand as you eagerly await the start of the season. Yes, Wendell Goodwin has won the job of starting QB for our highly touted run & shoot offense! This is by far the best news we could have! Oh, the sweet interceptions he will toss. The frustration he can create! Dare we dream that we could go winless with him at the helm? If so, we could gain the coveted title this year! Is this too much to consider? Let’s see as we head into our first game! #39 Brigham Young comes to South Bend to face us, ranked #20.

Game
Oh oh. We could be in trouble. Get this. Goodwin’s first pass hits for 29 yards. His second pass is a 43-yard TD strike to RB Wolfe. It only gets worse from there. His line for the day: 27 for 44, 457 yards, 4TD’s. He did manage to throw 3 interceptions, but everything else overshadowed this. That line about Culpepper is sounding a little bit too true right now. He appears tough too. He got hurt, but stayed in the game. The rest of our game was just as bad, as we beat up Brigham Young to the tune of 62-21. We scored every way possible. Fumble return. Kick return. Interception return. It was a nightmare. We had ten sacks too. And even Wolfe, limited to only 14 carries, managed to get 97 yards for himself on the ground, and another 105 receiving. What a horrible start to the year. There goes our dream of #125 this year.

Record 1-0

Looking at our injury report though, it does appear that we have some good news. Goodwin did break his finger and is listed as probable for next week. We had a major injury to backup FB Juan Benitez, who tore knee ligaments and will be out for 26 weeks. He’s played his last game. Let’s give a big cheer for our offensive coordinator BJ Brooks(lousy, lousy at injuries), who twisted Juan’s knee around a bit at the half, proclaimed it a sprain, and sent him back in the game. Way to go, BJ.
