FB: American Rivers Conference

Before I answer the poll question ...

My Spanish tells me it is Ba -- way -- na  Vista.   

But having lived in Iowa tells me is is Bue -- na Vista.   

So do we vote the the Spanish way or the Iowa way?   

Reminds me of the way some folk massacred the pronounciation of Dubuque.   

GO SPARTANS!

Central can rectify their season by beating BV on Saturday. I'm not too worried though. I've been calling for Cornell to upset them in week 10 for about the last 4 weeks.

Was very surprised to see the lack of turn out on the Wartburg side on Saturday...although I suppose the "rivalry" really isn't as big of a deal to the side that has won 16 of the last 17...in order for it to be a big deal Luther needs to start winning some of the games. Also found the announcer to be rather comical with some of his descriptions of the game...But I kind of expect that at Wartburg.

Reynolds continues to grow and I am very excited to watch him for the next 3 years. If LC wins out, a 6-4 season would be a very successful season for this program...heck at the start of the year if you would have told me we would have been 5-5 and I would have been pretty excited about that. Good things to come from this program...

I'm not sure if they have a student up there or who that is. Sounds young.

Is one QB taller than the other? We ran into that problem during practice a lot this year since our soph QB is 6'5 with arms that reach to the moon and the backup was 5'9. Lot smaller margin for error with a shorter QB.

Lackey is the taller of the two QB's, but not by so much that they should be going over Bandow's head.  Of course, earlier in the season I was griping because the snaps were to his feet.  Some people are never satisfied.   

I would like to see the video of that play.  I wasn't sure if it went over his head or he was not ready for the snap.  It was a coslty mistake what ever the reason.

I'm guessing he's some long lost relative. I'm guessing he'll be hanging out on B-ball board soon.

BTW, shouldn't we put out a missing person report on ShowMe?

Good thing we have Snead waiting in the wings, I hear there are lots of roofing jobs in Pella this summer.  Oh wait, it's Pella, there are lots of cobble street building jobs in Pella this summer.

Come on we both know that Central wouldn't ever resort to the levels of that "other Lutheran" school to the southwest of us

I thought about that when I posted the pickem results.  He hasn't been on for ever.  I guess he didn't need to talk straight any more.  It was a good laugh while it lasted.  I agree that the Rams have stepped up their talent and level of play.  The smack talk should wait till they start winning though.  Even then I am not sure it is a good thing to do.

I agree with that.  The Dutch would never use roofing jobs.  They would use replacement window jobs instead.
