Alright UWRF, time to hold up your end of the bargain and get us to a North Central vs River Falls Stagg. With my Royals eliminated, this is what I'm rooting for.

Blaha's been a great story, and how the team has grown around him the last 10 years (I kid Fred, I kid!!

). Seriously though, just feels like these two teams are supposed to put together a classic for us in Canton. So go put JHU on ice, get healthy, and take your shot.

Alright, I think I have a year of eligibility left, I want to play (or be water boy) for this guy. I was a fan when they ran the triple option (back in my day), I'm a bigger fan now.

Even more old school -- they ran the wishbone, right?

I believe you are correct. They were great at it.

They were. I played high school baseball with Adam Kowles, who was the quarterback for their run in the mid-1990s. Adam played catcher and I played outfield and second base.

I played against some very good UWRF teams in the 1990s. Those wishbone teams were often at the top of the rushing lists, regardless of division. One wrinkle--they did a lot of it out a no-huddle offense--that was uncharacteristic of option teams. They weren't up-tempo, but they wouldn't huddle. So you couldn't substitute, and their long drives would just tire out defenses even more. They were ahead of their time. They also ran a defense with an inverted DT that was a yard deeper off the ball than their other d-linemen. It gave them more stunting and looping options. They didn't always have the deepest roster, but they were so good at what they did.

Blaha is in his 6th year, not his 5th as I have previously argued. Not that it really matters.But Dr. Blaha?

Pat, are there any Centennial League posters?

BDB's post of the Twin Cities video (50 minutes long) shows Walker and 5 players. The players fall all over themselves praising each other. Walker praises everybody from the water boy to the AD. It all seems very sincere.

Fredfalcon, in the interview coach was discussing the improvement in recruiting (talent wise) and acknowledged the importance of using the portal to bring in players. Do you know if there is a QB on the roster or in the wings to take over next season? It seems pretty clear coach wants to continue their offensive style, which I assume means a dual threat QB w excellent receivers.

I'm not Pat but, despite having a few new posters and some actual content this season, for the past several years the Centennial board has been only slightly more active than the UMAC board.
