Just throwing this out there -- if W&L beats Sydney, how about a BC-W&L Battle for the ODAC on Oct. 29th? Now that would be delicious.... "

I can't let this one slide.. delicious?!?! DELICIOUS!!!!.. Ok that's by far the most odd description of a game on this threads 10,000 pages! To be honest I don't think W&L's played anyone with the talent of HSC and will quickly be served a huge slice of Bow Tie Pie when HSC and W&L meet. Last years game was a fluke on HSC's part due to Riccas injury. W&L may be better this year and may finish 3rd in the ODAC but BC and HSC are still a step ahead of the rest of the ODAC! Keep dreaming W&L! Keep wearing those ugly "General" Ties!

What's wrong with "delicious"? It's a pretty nice word, I think.

W&L showed a lot of moxie in beating Catholic this week. Tweardy had a wretched first-half, and it seemed like any time the Generals got going, there were a slew of penalties to set them back. Coach Frank's team showed a lot of maturity in hanging on to pull out the W.

I don't think there's any question that W&L is a better team this year. Their defense isn't putting up the same statistical numbers, but they are creating tons of turns. And the offense has been firing of late!

And you could write a million posts on Jack Martin right now. Two straight 200+ games, and he's already beaten the W&L receiving TD record in 5 games. Unbelievable. Not since the "fade to Callaham" has W&L receiving been so exciting. And what's scary is that Colton Ward hasn't even exploded yet. With these guys it's too bad there's only one ball!

In summary, I wouldn't discount W&L against the Tigers. HSC may have the edge, but if you've seen W&L's offense, you know this team is very capable of scoring points in bunches. If J.D. has an off-day, this one will go the Generals' way.

PS - WrightHall, tell your sister I miss our ODAC football arguments. Hope she's doing well.

Wow - how true Llama...how true.

Congrats kid. I guess that is a good excuse for you bailing on me midway through the H-SC game without me being able to get into their stream.

So...I'll let it slide. Can't wait to see those bridesmaids...

Catholic and W&L was a close game, but I think the greater experience of W&L was the key to the game. Both teams had chances to walk away with the game, but didn't convert, and it kept it close. There were a lot of great plays by both squads, but a lot of mistakes going both ways also. W&L were probably a bit better at limiting mistakes, especially in the 4th quarter. I give credit to Tweardy, who did a good job of putting the ball in Jack Martin's hands in the second half. He had a mediocre first half, but stepped up later in the game.
Catholic's 1-4 (2-3 thanks to Shenandoah's mistake) doesn't look much better than last year, but the team is just short of having a great year. McDaniel should have been a win if not for a terrible call to add time back to the clock at the end of regulation, and Catholic should have been able to get a W yesterday. Two losses with less than 10 seconds on the clock hurts. However, Catholic's young players keep getting better, and will continue to be a threat this year in the ODAC.

Not to mention is was 30-6 at that point

... but yeah, sorry about that ... had other things on my mind

Regarding bridemaids (and female wedding guests) ... there will be plenty of nurses, future doctors, and teachers to sit near

Speaking of which, I'll make sure to put you at our grandparents table.

Congrats Kid on the engagement!

My sympathies..... I mean congrats also to Kidsgirl.

Kid, being married to a nurse is good stuff as I speak from 17 yrs experience!

I can only wonder what the announcement will be during next year's bye week!!
