Well, it hasn't happened since 2006, but my Klein Broncos lost a playoff game.  The Lions were the better team in pasting us 28-13!  Let's just hope Blueboy Nation can celebrate today like the Bronco faithful couldn't.

On another note, Roop, you off your meds? Or am I? Did your post read like a;sdjngafjvgeogngva;slkngfi to anyone eles???   Where's Finlandia?

Hancock, UP of Michigan. About 200 miles north of St. Norbert. A small school that has always been an independent due to the fact that SNC is the second closest D3 school to them. The closest D3 school is 150 miles away at Northland College of the UMAC in Ashland, Wisconsin on the shores of Lake Superior.

[blu thru n thru]

6-0 Grinnell on opening drive.  Missed XP. 3 and out for IC.

[gbpuckfan]

Ripon puts together nice, long opening drive with a few 3rd down conversions. 7-0 Redhwaks, 8:19 left in first quarter.

[gbpuckfan]

SNC responds with a TD drive of its own, keyed by a 34-yard pass on the first play.

7-7 with 5:28 left in first quarter

[blu thru n thru]

IC goes 95 yards on about 6 plays. 7-6 Blueboys!

[gbpuckfan]

SNC cannot stop Ripon's option offense. 

End of 1st, 7-7, but Ripon has ball 2nd and goal at the 2.

RC has tried just one pass, I think.

[gbpuckfan]

Marshall runs it in to cap 60-yard drive (after SNC kicked it out of bounds  ).

13-7 Ripon as kicked is missed.

[blu thru n thru]

50 yard punt return by Grinnell.  Missed XP.  12-7 Grinnell.

[gbpuckfan]

lost the feed from Ripon ...

[Redhawk Sighting]

same here, but got a text saying that it's 14-13 SNC, but RIpon just fumbled on their 35...

[hickory_cornhusker]

Carroll takes a 7-0 lead with 3 minutes left in the first half.
