Nothing makes my weekend brighter than a lashing of ol' crispy skin. For the 2nd season in a row, the Raiders have gone 1-1 against Mike Tanahan and the orange and blue... Broncos... hey while we're here, can someone explain to me what the fuck orange and blue have to do with horses? Not that silver and black have anything to do with raiders, but pirates were criminals and Raiders colors make you look like a criminal... so yeah, eat shit.
As weird as it sounds to say, the odds were stacked in our favor. Denver was missing all three of their top running backs, using fullback Peyton Hillis and newly acquired Tatum Bell as their primary rushers. Despite out-gaining Bell by 60 yards, Hillis' possessions remained in his locker even when he wasn't looking. They were also starting fullback Spencer Larsen as a middle linebacker, and lacked the services of Champ Bailey.
What this game did do for the team was end a season-long debate: I now have no doubt in my mind that the Raiders can beat a college team.
Sadly, Mikey Too Tan still walks away with a 21-7 lifetime record against the Raiders.
