Gotta agree with a game seemingly so balanced on paper, CAP/NCC should be a good one. I think the differnece lies with the Cap D, if they are capable of playing like they have thru the season then they'll be moving into round 2. Likewise Pentello has too many weapons and a healthy O'reilly beside him, I beleive Cap comes out by a 14 margin. Either way, niether team should blow out the other. Albion/ Wabash just might be  a surprise game too, the Brits can turn it up a notch!

RC-You better practice some glowing comments for Curry. It may prove to be as tough as finding something nice to say about an ugly baby.  Maybe some Steve Nelson career highlights or comments about their nice uni's. Avoid talking about the long ride home.

I'm sure this is utter crap to say but I've heard from an individual that I consider to be a very reputable source that the football in that conference doesn't remotely compare to OAC ball.  Granted, he said this to me a year ago but I'll still give Cap a 21+ margin of victory.

I'll take 110 minutes with college students any day over 90 minutes with my crew, but seriously, I love it here.  The kids I teach and coach are a little rough around the edges.  I like that.  The best thing about teaching in a critical needs school is that you don't encounter a bunch of whiners and cry babies.  My kids are tough, which can be a challenge, but once you figure it out and they figure you out things work pretty well.

moe,

Excellent career choice.  Poor school choice

mtfan,

I think many are overlooking Capital's O.  Lewis Howes and Kive Kraft are much more athletic versions of Chris Copeland and Matt Hawk. O'Reilly is doing a good job as is Mulkey.  Rocky is Rocky.  I obvioulsy like Capital in this one.

I see a close game for three or three and a half quarters.  

Cap 31
NCC 20

or something like

Cap 35
NCC 17

I agree with mtfan, it won't be a blowout, but it won't be particularly close.

[reality check]

Well there goes my low profile for the playoff game...thanks Gordon.  J/K

I am looking forward to the game and knocking a little rust off.  I invite anyone who gets bored with the Mount Union game or CAP fans with a little time to kill before the 1 pm start against NC to check out the DV/Curry game and let me know what you think.  It may not be the best game on Saturday but it should give plenty of you something new to rag on me about...

[cufan]

I am so excited about the Cap game I  woke up and coco-butted my wife and kids....is that extreme?

[theaprof]

Coco-butted???  What the hell is that?  Anything like Cocoa-buttered?  If not we may have to report you to children's services!!

Four college alumni were climbing a mountain one day: an Ohio State grad, a Michigan grad, a Penn State grad, and a Notre Dame grad. Each proclaimed to be the most loyal of all fans at their alma mater. As they climbed higher, they argued as to which one of them was the most loyal of all. They continued to argue all the way up the mountain, and finally as they reached the top, the Notre Dame grad hurled himself off the mountain, shouting "This is for the Fighting Irish!" as he fell to his doom. Not wanting to be out done, the Penn State grad threw himself off the mountain proclaiming, "This is for the Nittany Lions!" Seeing this the OSU grad walked over and shouted "This is for the Buckeyes!" and pushed the Wolverine off the side of the mountain.



A guy in a bar leans over to the guy next to him and says, "Wanna hear a Michigan joke?" The guy next to him replies, "Well before you tell that joke, you should know something. I'm 6' tall, 200 lbs., and I am a Michigan grad. The guy sitting next to me is 6 ' 2" tall, weighs 225, and he's a Michigan grad. The fella next to him is 6 ' 5" tall, weighs 250, and he's a Michigan grad. Now, you still wanna tell that joke?" The first guy says, "No, not if I'm gonna have to explain it three times."

i would take the other side of this spread in a heartbeat. we had a lot of people say similar things a couple years ago when a very good BW team came to CCIW turf. home field is pretty big in the playoffs and these cards are every bit as good as advertised. the ncc offense prides itself on getting the ball to some very good wideouts and a great runningback. caps d is great and they will need to be. i don't see anyone getting blown out this weekend in naperville. I haven't seen cap play so i don't know if they are a man to man defense w a lot of blitzing, or a zone blitz or whatever. those things will make a big difference. any way you look at it ncc has a lot of weapons and a very capable defense. ditto that for cap.

i like 21-17....but our way.

head butt coco butt....bottom line my wife is still out and I have time to go to the game.

More Michigan jokes:

Ann Arbor News Report: Football practice in Ann Arbor was delayed on Monday for nearly two hours. One of the offensive players, while on his way to the locker room, happened to look down and notice a suspicious looking, unknown, white powdery substance on the practice field. The head coach, Lloyd Carr, immediately suspended practice while the FBI was called in to investigate. After a complete field analysis, the FBI determined that the white substance unknown to the players was the goal line. Practice was resumed when the FBI decided that the team would not be likely to encounter the substance again.

Sing it with me, the new "Hail to the Victors"
Hail to the valiant heroes
They're just a bunch of zeros
Hail! Hail! To Michigan, you will lose today
Ann Arbor is a downer
We're glad we're out of towners
Hail! Hail! To Michigan, the cesspool of the West!
