I’ll be making my first trip to Cleveland this Sunday and I’m hearing from some of the guys that the fans are pretty loud and crazy.  That’s good.  I really liked playing in that kind of atmosphere in Pittsburgh earlier this year.  Obviously our fans in Baltimore are great to us and they’re really loud — but they’re also rooting for us when we’re at home.  I have a feeling they won’t be rooting for us in Cleveland but we’ll go in there and play hard like always.

I keep on getting great protection from the line and the running backs and tight ends who are doing the blocking up front.  I know I say it every week but they are one of the biggest reasons why I’ve played the first seven weeks without any serious bumps or bruises.

We know this is a big game because it’s a division rival and we’ve won a couple in a row now so we want to keep building on that momentum.  We’ll be ready.  Who knows, we might even have a few more fun plays to throw out there on Sunday.

I hope my alma mater, Delaware, can turn it around and finish their football season on a good note.  They play Towson next weekend, which is always fun at UD because Towson brings some fans and the game has developed into a pretty good rivalry.  The CAA is turning out a lot of good teams these days.  It looks like 4 or maybe even 5 teams might make it into the playoffs from the CAA this year.  Maybe I’ll check out Delaware when they play basketball at Towson this winter.  I went to a handful of the men’s games when I was in school at UD and attended a lot of the women’s games.

I was glad to see the Phillies win the World Series in Philadelphia.  It’s good to win the championship anywhere, obviously, but since there hasn’t been a title in Philly since 1980, it was good that the home fans got to experience the whole thing there last night.

Have a great weekend and I’ll check in with Drew on Tuesday morning at 8:30 am.

   Joe,

   Towson at U of D on November 8th…..Will WNST be tailgating in Newark at the TUB????

   The Dog Pound has not been very nice to the Ravens since owner Art Modell blessed the City of Baltimore with his franchise>>>>>Without Art Modell moving his team from Cleveland to Baltimore the Commissioner’s Office would have been happy with expansion teams awarded in Carolina and Jacksonville!!!! Thanks to the IRSAY family, the City of Baltimore was without a team for 12 years and lost their name, colors and logo to Indianapolis!!!! It is time we get a win at the Dog Pound since they were awarded a team in Cleveland and were able to keep their name and colors!

   Good Luck Joe and get us another road win to go 5-3.

   Regards,

   Your Fellow Blue Hen Alum—Class of 1985
