So You're Saying There Is A Chance?

Turn into a crazy early bird, that's my word
Before I kick the bucket I'm a kick 'em to the dirt...

PROPS and DROPS from the Buffs win over Iowa State and the Bronco smashing of the Chiefs:

PROPS: Kyle Orton's thrid TD pass was a thing of beauty, you'd be hard pressed to find a better strike this year in the NFL. Perfect spiral, 40 yards int he air, split three defenders, went into the tiniest of areas to find Jabar Gafney for the TD. Not only did it look good, but it effectively ended the game at 21-0. Any sense of a comeback was gone from the Chiefs after that strike.

PROPS: A new head man up in Boulder and it looked like the team played loose and like they were having fun out there. There were a few minor tweaks also. One, they actually used their three best WRs (McKnight, Clemons, and Richardson) on the same play numerous times. Two, they ran the ball with a big lead!

DROPS: The Chiefs challenge a play but it can't be overturned because the "replay system is malfunctioning." Huh? Malfunctioning? Isn't this 2010? Go grab some dude's phone and watch the damn replay. Or maybe just watch it on the two GIANT big screen TVs in the stadium.

PROPS: Everyone's been saying it, but I'll say it again: Paul Richardson, Buff frosh WR, is a complete stud. He was the best player on the field on Saturday, and perhaps the best Buff WR since Michael Westbrook roamed Folsom. The new coach's #1 recruit will be Richardson, as there are murmurs that he is looking to get out of Boulder.

DROPS: A little tiff between Chief coach and McHoody? Haley, not to be mistaken for Lumbergh from Office Space, "snubbed" McD on the postgame handhsake. Should make the December 5 game in KC all the more interesting. Because the Donks always play good in KC in December.

PROPS: I'd never heard of Donk linebacker Joe Mays until I saw him on the screen yesterday. The 5-11 North Dakota State star played well, showing speed and a nose for the ball. He knocked the ball loose from Jamaal Charles which Jason Hunter whiffed on a few plays before Hunter took it back to the house (which announcer Kevin Harlan said he had an "entourage" en route to the endzone. I wanted to envision Turtle and Adrian Greiner loafing down the sideline with him.) Another reason you won't forget Mays? He has his name tattoed on both triceps. "Joe" on the left and "Mays" on the right. That way you can identify him if he's doing the Ludacris "drop blows" dance.

PROPS: What the heck is this Donk WR celebration where they wave their own hand in front of their face? Why don't we work that into your everyday life? Your boss gives you a compliment for closing the Penske account- wave your hand in front of your face. You get that choice parking spot at the mall? Wave it! People will simply flip you off or think you are trying to clear up some vertigo

PROPS: Cody Hawkins played a good game with crisp passes and ability to find the right WR (hmmm, having the best WRS to pick from might've helped.) As soon as the final gun sounded, Cody made a beeline for the locker room. That's the fastest I've ever seen our starting QB run.

PROPS: The Donks had their A1 offensive line together for the first time all year and looky here, Knowshon Moreno enjoys a career day. The holes were there most of the afternoon and Moreno spared us the shimmy shaking and simply ran through them. Somewhere, Peyton Hillis lovers are weeping.

DROPS: Dan Hawkins tried to go all incognito and watch the game from the Kenny Rogers balcony at Dal Ward. He tried to blend in by wearing a ball cap and sunglasses. bout as creative as his game planning. I'd rather see him in a Kenny Rogers mask.
