  That's why you're the king, Roop!

And with my first royal decree....................................

Brett Favre shall start two games for the Vikings, thereby giving him the all time record for consecutive starts at any position, and then retire for the final time. Taking the $6,000,000 guarantee and running in other words. You heard it here first, thus sayeth The Roop.

It is a beautiful day in De Pere.    We decided last minute last night to make the drive so we got up here late last night. Nice to sleep in a little and already here. 

Looking forward to the many "FLYOVERS" at the game.

Just got home from Minahan Stadium, so not writing on the Blackberry anymore.

Wow, what a game.

Wartburg has an excellent offensive line. Made some huge holes and gave the QB lots of time. He's very good as well. WU used at least three running backs, with #1 the best of the bunch.

St. Norbert was playing catchup most of the day, but was matching WU TD for TD all afternoon.

Wartburg was hurt by penalties. Lots of them. One personal foul blow to the head was questionable, and one pass interference called on an orange Knight defender was a bad call. But even taking those two, WU had too many penalties on both sides of the ball.

SNC had two turnovers, both inside the WU 30. But WU couldn't convert either time. The second SNC turnover was with less than 3:00 left, but SNC forced the punt and drove down the field in the last 1:40.

SNC was stopped at the 1 as the clock rolled. Finally spiked it with 3.5 left, but then got a delay penalty, backing up to the 6. A fade pass TD was successful as time expired. And, despite another SNC penalty on the EXP, the kick was good. Bonus football.

SNC scored on 2 plays.

WU got down to the 2, and was eventually faced with a 4th and goal from the 2. Tried to run it in but was stopped.

Final, OT
St. Norbert - 42
Wartburg - 35

Sat by some very nice Wartburg people.

All in all a very entertaining game. Closely contested. Some nice plays and players on both sides of the ball. Wartburg just had too many penalties, couldn't convert on turnovers and couldn't put SNC away. SNC hung in there all afternoon, didn't let WU get away from them, and then made the plays at the crunch time.
