Friday Update

It has just been reported that Joe Cox is battling flu-like symptoms, and had been for a few days. Despite feeling slightly under the weather, Big Red will still be starting the game.

Also, the Okey Pokey athletic department released a statement on Thursday citing there will be no pre-game handshake (you see how well that worked out last night for Boise State and Oregon). I honestly can't say that I mind not having half of our team kicked off the field for brawling, so, for once I agree with an AD.


Armadillo Eggs

1 lb. Chicken Breast Fillets
1/2 lb. hickory bacon
1/2 lb. pepperjack cheese (or whatever you prefer)
1/4 t. smoked paprika
1/4 t. each salt and pepper
olive oil (cooking spray will work also)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Using a meat mallet (or some other flat heavy device), pound fillets until they reach about 1/4 inch thickness. Center pepperjack cube on one end of fillet and roll chicken around the cube. Season the roll with spice mix. Wrap the seasoned roll with a slice (or two) of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place all completed rolls on a greased baking sheet and spray with a light coat of cooking spray or a slight drizzle of olive oil.

Bake covered in oven for 10-12 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Uncover, and bake an additional 5-7 minutes or until bacon is crisp. Enjoy!!
