A road trip on Thanksgiving weekend and another opportunity to grill meat in a parking lot and swill carbonated malt and barley beverages is a great prize.  I am looking forward to see FC play a team that will require 60 minutes of old fashioned smashmouth.  Unfortunately the HCAC doesnt provide that opportunity very often (except MSJ can play smashmouth, just not 60 minutes worth  ).

I don't think you'll see a whole lot of smashmouth football from Thomas More.  They run the spread option from shotgun, utilizing motion.  Its a unique offense.  They have a 220 lb running back and three speedsters on the attack.  Even the 220 lb'er was able to run away from the defense on his 58 yard TD run up the middle last week.  Its more speed than power.

Rumor has it Franklin might put the ball in the air.

Yeah, I have heard from trusted sources that they do that pretty well too --- they are definitely a big test for the young TMC defense.  Hopefully our All-American safety can get his hand in on some plays.  TMC has young, but good sized and athletic DBs... but stress the young part.  They'll need to force some turnovers for shizzle. 

*Trusted sources = word of mouth from all the experts on the HCAC page and knowledge of FC's offense from the days when Hanover used it///Chad Rupp going beast mode a couple years back.

Does anyone else get the feeling that this game could turn into a shootout?

I do however pick Franklin to win and to make a return trip to UWW this year.

However, 200 plus rushing yards a game the last three weeks may make Coach Leonard want to switch to the Wing T.  LOL

I doubt you will ever see that happen.

Here is some K+ for you.

Stupid question here, but how does one give a -K or +K?  And, how did SaintsFan ever accumulate that much Karma?

I wondered that too since I couldn't find anything saying how... but apparently you have to have at least 200 posts then you'll be able to "applaud" or "smite" under where the karma is listed

200 posts grants the privilege to applaud (+k) or smite (-k).  And you can only applaud/smite once every 24 hours on any specific poster.

Maybe you and Sayer give each other +K once a day for good measure. (except on Bridge Bowl day)

ha... no.  You guys should hear the story of how I met Sayer (showed him and a classmate around our campus on gameday my senior year -- after my season-ending injury) and then when I saw him next he was playing for MSJ against us at Mariemont and blocked someone into our bench area... and we were talking i'sh to eachother.  And then on here.  Kid has come a long way... now if we can just get him a legit coaching job.....

Ryan's take: Thomas More 33, Franklin 30
Keith's take: Franklin 35, Thomas More 21
Pat's take: Thomas More 34, Franklin 28


**if there were 4 of them, I'm sure it'd be 2/2 --- though Keith usually picks against TMC (see W&L in week 12 last year and W&J in previous years)... but we still love him.

Love ya Keith..

This will be a good game. Going with Franklin to win, 28 - 17.

- Franklin playing at home - has to be worth something.
- Thomas More QB situation (freshman starter, Kues reportedly left the team) at the worst time possible.
- Franklin is not going to run away with it, as the Saints' D appears solid against the pass, and Franklin hasn't established a stout running game this season.
