How's Oxy looking as far as matchup with Willamette, BP?  Stay outta the line of fire, and hope there's no smudging of that nursery...

I'm still hung on the Willamette/Oxy matchup .  I am ticked off at the NCAA for making them play each other in the first round though.  I was hoping to go to Oxy's game thinking they were going to be a 2 seed & host a game, but nooooooooo, the NCAA wants to be cheap & mess up the whole point of earning a top seed b/c of travel distances.  Hopefully Oxy wins & I'll get to catch a second round game.
Thanks for the concern about the fires & nursery.  The air quality has sucked over the past couple of days, but the painting is done!

You're married - the painting is NEVER done...

:on What's this you say???  I just can't wait till the room is finally finished w/ furniture, are rug, curtains, & what ever else will go in there & the wife not to like it & I'll start over from square one.  I do it happily considering she is the one that has to carry the child for 9 months!  

and server was your personal SOBER taxi...for 9 months.  Take advantage of that...

Don't you fret, Has_Been, your opportunity to carry the water will go well beyond 9 months.  Re. painting - "Honey, the nursury looks great, but it kinda clashes with the hallway, don't ya think?"  "Ooooh, that looks good, but the colors in our room are not in the feng shui motive, now - we need more flow."  "I don't know qabout you, dear, but the living room looks sorta dingy compared to the rest." 

After year two, "It's too da*ned bad that the outside doesn't look as nice as the inside."  Year three - "The paint's peeling in the kids room, and the overall look is too infantile - git er done!"

dc - OTT went for 117 yrds  and two rushing touchdowns against MUC, #1 rushing defense in the nation, only giving up 43 per game. I think OTT's rushing game will tell the story in this contest.

[dc_has_been]

SaintsFan- believe me, I'm taking advatage to the DD & it goes beyond 9 months b/c she still needs to feed the baby for 6+months afterwards.

cave2bens- I know, I've already started to prepare painting the livingroom next  .

tv112- that is why I said, "they (Franklin) haven't played a team to Otterbein's caliber." 

[propower64]

Why do they start the the playoff games at 12:00 pm  instead of 1:00 or 1:30?

[fc_alum_84]

my take is that the light starts to fade earlier

[Mr. Ypsi]

Or perhaps hope that fans will be 1 to 1.5 hours less inebriated?

[formerd3db]

Or it is done so they "start drinking heavily" (to borrow that Animal House quote) to keep warm!!!

[dc_has_been]

All you have to remember about early football games & drinking is that it is noon somewhere in the world .  Considering I live on the west coast & games start at 9, I have to use some excuse to make it feel acceptable.

I like Pat's take on the "Suprise of the North Central Region"....

Pat: That any one of the four teams in the lower half of this bracket have a chance of making the regional finals, while one of the two best teams (North Central or Otterbein) will be eliminated by the end of the second round.


I obviously agree with this assessment, though he's probably pointing more to Wheaton than the others...

They also pick the scores on the "Triple Take".  If some of you haven't seen this feature, its very good.  They have very knowledgeable guests on there (especially the guys from week 11)  .  Check it out:

easy now... I could've been talking about Pat and Keith!

[KYGrizzly]

Franklin leads Ott 21 - 14 early in the third quarter.

Also heard Thomas More was leading North Central 7 - 0 in the first half.

[SaintsFAN]

Thomas More 10
North Central 13  2nd quarter 9:56


NCC just scored a TD with the key play being a long pass by QB Franthorpe.  One potential game changing fumble nullified by catch interference.  TMC would've had the ball on the NCC 2 yard line.  Sounds like it was a good call... it was 10-6 at that point.

Thomas More is moving the ball, as expected.  

Pat and crew sounds good..  

[dc_has_been]

Otterbein is driving & showing Franklin they can pass too & drive down the field.  Then they decide to run & Franklin's D holds up making Otterbein settle for a field goal. 
Looking good Franklin, hopefully they continue to play tough.
