I do. From my neck of the woods.

Thanks! I like your sense of humor (I swear to God I do), but I thought someone was going after you the other day and I misinterpreted what was going on in here. Ironic, in a sense, as I have accused others of taking this thing too seriously. I have just done the same. I gotta go.

Yeah, I probably jumped off the deep end again...

This was supposed to be a thread about potential upsets, but unfortunately it has morphed into mudslinging and general ugliness. Figure it out, people.

Has diagnosed with COVID-19. Although he will not play against Boston College this weekend, I do wonder how long he’ll be out. I think this will have an impact on the College Football Playoff.

thanks for the intel— I thought they were unstoppable when they beat West Central 54-0 last week.

Yep, right by Bass Lake.

Love upsets. Not really sure what’s gonna happen in my neck of the woods: 6A: Lake Central will get obliterated by Lafayette Jeff Crown Point hasn’t played for quite a while and I don’t think they’ll hang with Merrillville for over a quarter, setting up a rematch from last year, but the Bronchos (with a H) will take it. 5A—Valparaiso’s the favorite and although Michigan City is pretty good, I don’t know if they can knock off the Vikings. Munster’s in rebuild mode but maybe La Porte can do something. 4A is a little tougher with Hobart cruising against Gary West and although Highland will push them for a while, RDP 219 will put them away and face the Brick House. I know they didn’t play this year, and how everyone and their mother thinks East Merrillville will win, Lowell wasn’t 7-1 for nothing. And don’t you dare say forfeits.... KV and New Prairie were both eliminated (or would you say upset 😉) last week, and were the favorites. I’m going with Plymouth now. Hanover and Calumet both look tough in 3A, I like Andrean, Pioneer, Rensselaer Central, and possibly Wheeler in 2A which brings us to 1A. Basically North Judson’s to lose.

Losing sucks, huh? The Packers and Bears hook up in a few weeks, should be a good one.

Graham Mertz, starting QB at Wisconsin, tested positive for COVID-19. The Badgers host Purdue a week from Saturday.

Bell did look good, I liked how Milton Wright came back after getting his clock cleaned in the first half. I was, a little surprised to see AOC get the start, though. I think the season is only 8 games, so Ferentz needs to step it up. Not to sure what to think about Franklin’s brain fart, but I’ve never been sold on him either. To borrow from my brother @DT, maybe they’ll bring Schiano in. Or Fitzy (who beat UMD by a similar score Purdue did last year). Or Fleck.

This just in: players make plays, coaches don’t.

I thought week one was a good one. Both Purdue and IU looked great, Wisconsin played like, well, Wisconsin, and Michigan thumped Minnesota. Ohio State surprised no one by smoking Nebraska, although I thought their last touchdown showed a tremendous lack of class. Sure, Northwestern smoked Maryland, which was a little surprising. As for Rutgers and Sparty, I don’t think the loss can be pinned on their coach.

Hi fill-in was pretty good, though.

Xander Horvath, your plane is boarding.

“Hold my beer.” —David Bell Make that a Clausthaler as he is a minor.

Southwood over Northfield 36-0 and there is only one remaining Midwest conference team playing next week: the South Newton Rebels they got a bye and will play North Judson who eked out a 54-0 win over West Central.

Rensselaer 78, Bowman 0 I’m not kidding.

It’s the tournament—arguing is senseless—good luck along the way.

KV goes down—alas...

Getting it done. Lowell got up on Morton 14-0 which is where it stands with a few minutes to go in the 3rd.

And that’s why they play the games...

A few surprises, Highland over Griffith stands out the most. Then again, this game might be emblematic of why GHS booked a few years ago...

Lowell 7, Morton 0 Hanover 21, Twin Lakes 14 both first half

Twin Lakes up on Hanover Central 14-7 in the first.
