I don't want to jinx it but the rain seems to be trending toward being pushed back until later tomorrow night. Hopefully the football Gods will bless us with nice weather so both teams can showcase their respective strengths!

In the category of 'things I did not see coming': Tanner Rains' field goal (weirdly, the shorter of the two) from last weekend is approaching a million views on YouTube.

That would be fantastic!  Good call!

That is...really weird, to say the least!

After running the numbers through the supercomputer, the stone cold lock of the week:

NCC 34
MHB 24

[New Tradition]

Rewatching the 2019 Stagg Bowl. A fun fact came up. Greenfield had more rushing yards in the 1st quarter (51) than UWW had given up in any of their 4 playoff games.

So the UMHB defense is going to give up as many points to NCC as they to all their other playoff opponents combined? Something tells me that computer isn't so super.

Or only 6 more points than you gave up to Hardin Simmons? Or 10 more than you gave up to Linfield? Maybe not such a stretch. I do think that 34 is a lot for either team considering both are gonna try and run the ball and control the LOS.

Rain now predicted to begin around 10PM.

Also reserve the right to adjust that number down based on the rumor that Lehnen might have an injured throwing shoulder.

Ice Bear felt he got banged up last week, specifically on that TD run. Ice says Lehnen got mother****ing drilled on that play...he kept going (ICe gives him a ton of credit) but looked jarred to Ice (Ice means this with no disrespect as if he took that hit he'd be in the fetal position, sucking his thumb, and calling for his mother...right there on ESPN plus). Ice thought it was the throwing shoulder that took the brunt of that contact.

Ice is going somewhat "old dog" on this and saying this game sits mostly on the Cardinal front and Greenfield. Ice says UMHB surprised Ice last week (impressed the **** out of him) to the point where he really doesn't know which way this game will go.

Good luck NC.   Nice clip on the morning news about the band and cheer squad boarding the buses for the trip.   

[Next Man Up]

Brotherhood is a strong bond among many types of sports teams, but may be most closely associated with football. Especially since the playoffs commenced, we've seen several short video interviews with players from various teams in which the concept of team brotherhood is prominently mentioned. Being somewhat of a history buff, and seeing these recent videos reminded me of the title of an episode of an iconic TV series many of us have probably seen. While certainly microscopic in importance as compared with a world struggle to maintain our free democratic society as was depicted in the Series, for the teams playing for the National Championship tonight, today might be termed the Day of Days.

I hope for a great performance tonight from NCC and that injuries are not part of the story.
NCC, in my opinion, is most deserving of back to back championships- so go out and get it done.

Btw USee or anyone, do you feel Beesley will be assigned to Jordan most the game or will they move him around?
