picks:
Simpson over BV -- a little home cooking for the storm  FINAL: 24-14
Central over Dubuque -- no explanation needed FINAL: 42-21 not as close as    the score makes it look.
Coe over Cornell -- rivalry or not, Coe blasts Cornell to stay in the hunt FINAL: 35-10
Luther over Loras -- Hefty/Marlow always figure out a way to beat the DuHawks, Senior day expect a huge game from Rolland.  FINAL: 35-24

Good luck to all...I'll be celebrating the SOX win from about noon until Sunday!

floyd-
  I totally agree with you...if you have a kid that the defense cant seem to stop give him the ball until its a health risk for him.  As long as the team is successful and the kid is still able to run the ball, give it to him. 

  These last few weeks in the IIAC should be good.  Its going to be interesting to see how everything plays out.  Good luck to all this weekend.  With a bit of luck we can get 2 teams to represent in the playoffs.  Go Norse! ...and Go Sox!

show-
  that may be correct, but he did have a sherden type day with carries...almost 40 carries, thats a lot to only get 160...but taking nothing away from the kid, because being a workhorse like that deserves a ton of credit...so, second string or not with that many carries, chances are you are going to get your yards.

norsefan,
  We do remember the days of the old Luther Defense, but just like everything else, things have to change.  That is not saying that Luther's defense is bad, its just a different defense.  This year unlike others the corners are the rock of the defense.  Its usually pretty tough when the guys that you have to look to are on the corners.  Lets not give up on these guys yet, I've been around this group and I know that its not an effort deal.  They just have to find that knack to make things happen.  My prediction is that the guru Dan Marlow and Mr. Benny Boyd will have these guys playing their hearts out these next 2 weekends.  They will finish strong sending those seniors of with a couple of wins!  Go Norse!

oversees observer,
   Are you the tallest person in that country?

dbljay,
  Go Sox!

my picks for the week-
  B.V. over Coe...Pearson has a break out game
  Luther over Simpson...Pearson outplays Dusty Kain...its a Pearson week in the IIAC
  Central over Cornell...the rams don't have a chance unless Lovely and Ditch come back for a few plays
  Wartburg over Dubuque....do we need an explanation for this one...i predict 7 Spartans will be hurt and at least 1 will be kicked out of the game...it just happens..

But good luck to all teams this week...it should be fun to to end..."TRIBUTE" hit me on the cell sometime...

its official...The Norse proves everyone wrong!!  Streaks are meant to be broken!

overseas observer-- where are you located and did you wear #16 by any chance??

let the excuses begin Warts...is it going to be the weather, the refs, or just the fact that Hoskins is really bad at football and finally exposed?

Roscoe's will be off the meter tonight
   those Norse fans know what I'm talking about!

                      the Warts 18
