[Mr. Ypsi]

Game on.  Good luck to the Thunder and Cardinals!

Luck is exactly what the Cardinals need on Saturday to even have a chance.

"The Roop" is so cute when he goes off his meds.

[The Roop]

Hey...................... You don't know that. It's true but you don't know that.

[ncc58]

The Norbertines are a good bunch. But I'm not sure that they can even explain The Roop.

[The Roop]

Difficult to explain but when NCC is watching round 2 online I think you will understand better.

Brave words from a Beloit guy!

St. Norbs is a nice team.  I imagine they could have competed for 6th in the CCIW.

I don't think it is fair to judge Benedictine on where they currently stack up compared to the other teams in this year's playoff pool.  Look at where  Benedictine came from and what Coach Coop has been able to do in his tenure there.  It was not that long ago that IBC was pretty bad and a winning season was unheard of.    Building a program is not easy.  Benedictine also has to compete with EC/NC/WC (not as much) AU,  that are close to their backyards.

Oh come on....BU lost to NORTH PARK!!!!   They are easily the WORST team in the playoffs!

BU is 8-2.  CNU is 6-4.  SLU is 5-5.  MAYBE they are the worst team, but EASILY?!

Here's a what if scenario to ponder:

If NCC is able to hold serve for 2 games and host the Regional final and Wheaton wins their first 2 games, then all we need is Linfield to beat St Thomas in the 2nd round to have 2 Regional finals within 7 miles of each other. I bet that has never happened before.

And winning them both would be super-sweet!

And winning the lottery would be super-sweet too, but neither is likely to happen. 

[The Roop]

The lottery odds are about the same as NCC beating St. Norbert. So what's your point ??

[Jim Matson]

Good luck to the Thunder and the Cards tomorrow.  I'll be watching from those cold stands and trusting the Wheaton boys can keep their FiRWaW going!

[The Roop]

Hiker Jim is an administrator now............................ Did you hear that Elizabeth, I'm coming to join you honey. With a laptop in my hand, oh...............

ITS GAME DAY!!  

My self-imposed "go dark" period is over.  I used the time wisely to get all of the chores out of the way so that I could spend the late-morning and afternoon in the western suburbs watching a certain championship caliber football team.  It would be ideal if there were different start times at Benedetti-Wehrli and McCully, after all, it's a great day to see two (to paraphrase Mr. Cub).  Hopefully, we will see the stands at both stadiums packed with Cardinal and Thunder/Crusader fans.  This is the time of the year when I set aside (most of) my biases and cheer for all of the CCIW teams -- until, of course, NCC and WC play in Salem!!!

Pulling out the long-johns and the winter football gear.  Current temperature is 28 degrees; game time forecast is 43 degrees with wind from the NE at 12 mph.  It is CCIW football weather!!

PS -- Wow!!  I only posted one time in the past week and I lost seven Karma points.  I will take that as a strong statement that folks want me to post more often!!

No Roop, he's not referring to the Green Knights.
