Countdown to Kickoff - Day 16: Jeremy Gallon
My 3 year old son won a silver medal in the preschool olympics. He rejected the medal, beat up the gold medal kid and stole his chocolate. I'm not sure if I should be concerned or proud.

from 2010 to 2011 was tremendous. Those damn muffed/fumbled punts were driving me nuts, but last year he was great.
August 16th, 2012 at 8:52 AM ^
Easily the most improved player from 2010 to 2011.
This year my money is on BWC to take that award. Unless Blake Countess just comes out and says "don't worry guys, I got this" and fucks shit up all year long.

and I would lean towards concerned.
"Jeremy, with the new sandwich offerings, which one do you think tastes the best?"
"...they are all the best, they are all very tasty"
"...and I noticed that with the school year starting, there are many attractive girls on campus, has one of them stood out to you?"
"...they all do, they are all really nice and pretty!"

On the other hand, winning isn't everything; it's the only thing.

"If we don't win the Big Ten championship, (it's a failure)," Hoke said. "We know what the goal is, what the expectation is. "If we don't meet it, then we've failed. It's pretty cut and dry."

No cause for concern - you don't want your son to be a pussy. You're raising your son to be a winner. Nuff said.
August 16th, 2012 at 9:33 AM ^
No Fear.
August 16th, 2012 at 8:54 AM ^
And chocolate is awesome.
August 16th, 2012 at 8:52 AM ^
douchebags are always a concern. I assume that was just a funny you tried to make.
August 16th, 2012 at 9:00 AM ^
So he's ready for the Hunger Games, where's the shame in that? And I mean, really, aren't the Olympics just a souped-up version of the Hunger Games?
August 16th, 2012 at 9:05 AM ^
I guess they edited this part out:
Doug: Jeremy, this is an interview, you don't have to pay me. This is $800.
Gallon: Soooo what, man? You earned that buck like a mothaf***er. Keep that s**t.
Gallon = Snoop Pearson still gets me every time I see Jeremy without a helmet.
August 16th, 2012 at 9:11 AM ^
I'm concerned what will happen once my son is able to obtain a nail gun.
August 16th, 2012 at 9:14 AM ^
...to ask about Gallon's cloaking device. Or did he?
August 16th, 2012 at 9:39 AM ^
I get the team thing, but come on Jeremy, just pick one guy who is the toughest to block!
I'm just going to take this as our defensive players are equally great and they're all extremely hard to block.
And in reply to your kid, just use it as a teaching moment. On the inside, be proud your son can beat up a kid but teach him why it was wrong in this case and why stealing is wrong.
Not to hijack, but Greg Mattison and Brady Hoke were on a local West Michigan sports radio station this morning, if anyone is interested. You have to listen to the ever annoying Ray Bentley, but its fun normal fluff stuff from the coaches.

Doug: What have you been practicing during the off season?
All players: We've been busting our butts learning how to avoid giving you a real answer.
Doug: Is that something the coaches have been emphasizing?
All players: You bet. There is always room for improvement. It's all about the TEAM.
Doug: Okay. What else can I ask? Oh yeah, who's the funniest guy on the team? Best dressed?
August 16th, 2012 at 9:55 AM ^
That kid is adorable, but you can't get a thing out of him.
That said, Doug Karsch did far better than I could. On this assignment, as soon as Gallon appeared I'd drop the mic, shriek "OMG Notre Dame under the lights wooooooo" and high five him while giggling like a madman. 11 months after that night, that's still what goes through my brain when I think of Jeremy Gallon.
August 16th, 2012 at 10:58 AM ^
You look good girl.
August 16th, 2012 at 11:18 AM ^
One of the passes from Denard looked like a bubble screen
August 16th, 2012 at 11:32 AM ^
EMBED!

Doug Karsch and the Countdown series are the topics of today's Blockhams' episode.
August 16th, 2012 at 12:17 PM ^
13,000 points on MGoBlog and you're worried about whether your son is being raised the right way or not? Nah, you're doing fine.
August 16th, 2012 at 1:13 PM ^
I love Gallon's game. Kid is just a good football player and a playmaker. Every team would want a guy like that.
Denard looks more fluid throwing in these tapes than he ever has. Hopefully that carries over to the season.
August 16th, 2012 at 1:24 PM ^
too excited for the opener against Bama in Jerry World. These next few weeks of work might just dragggggg on a little too slowly.
August 16th, 2012 at 1:57 PM ^
What is the preschool olympics? I'm trying to think of what 3 year olds would compete in:
- Running
- Hopping
- Obstacle course?
- Balance?
I don't know, man. If my son got second in any of those I would be pretty pissed.

I know it's just highlights, but man Denard looks SO much better throwing. His throwing motion looks fluid and effortless and the ball's coming out in a tight spiral with velocity. If he can do that in a game, we should be pretty good this year.

Sounds like your boy has some Buckeye tendencies. Might want to look into counseling before he starts wearing denim shorts and a Smack t-shirt.
