Lights Cameron Action

Cam Newton put on a show in his NFL debut.  Much to the dismay of all the naysayers out there.  Throwing for 422 yards and 2 touchdowns including a rushing TD.  The two touchdowns going to the reawakened Steve Smith.  Unfortunately it was in a defeat of the Phoenix Cardinals who were debuting a new look at the quarterback position as well, with Kevin Kolb taking the helm and guiding the Cardinals to their first win of the season.

The only thing that would have been sweeter would have been a win, but I'll take it. As a Cam Newton fan for more than a year now, I think the Panthers are pretty Lucky that a certain quarterback stayed in school.

Cam's next test is going to be a fierce one when the Super Champion Packers come to Charlotte for the Panthers home opener.  At least Cam will have a few more believers in the stands.

I Heart Russell Wilson....even as a Badger

Russell put on quite a show for everyone tonight against New Mexico.  He threw for 255 yards and 2 touchdowns including a 40 yard scamper for touchdown.  For NC State fans it was bittersweet, what might have been had he stayed in Raleigh for his senior season.  Now he has a new following in the Wisconsin faithful.  I respect Tom O'Brien's decision to move on with the program but certain players deserve special accommodations especially if they have earned it and Russell definitely did.  Needless to say, I'm happy for him but he will always be a member of the Pack.

Best of Luck Russell, go win the effing Heisman and a National Title.  I know I'll be watching.
