Divisional Week Discussion.

[JesterBlaze]

This marks the 3rd straight Phantoms' post-season where we start off against Texas. Not really a rivalry that early in the playoffs but quite a coincidence.


And I'm thinking I found another FOF glitch since I've still got tired players after not playing last week. I personally have severe seasonal rust since I haven't really felt any pressure for weeks. In creeps the Fear & Loathing of the One-and-Done.

Well, hopefully we can use the No. 2 seed to our advantage in our first home playoff game in quite a while. I have a couple injured guys that I think I can play this week, but not sure if I'm going to. But Markel returns from injury and he is a perfect 6-0 for us this year behind center. If I can keep him healthy, I think we'll be all right simply because he doesn't have too many negative plays. Markel is just good at avoiding sacks.

Good luck Iowa.

The Vipers' work is definately cut out for them on Sunday as they face Murfreesboro on the road.

We have only met once before in the playoffs and we lost that game in a close one, 21-24, in 2010 .

I am not really expecting this to be a close game as the Vipers are outmanned big time. We will need some breaks on turnovers to keep this close or even respectable. If we get a couple, that could give us a chance to pull off the upset.

See ya on the field, Tuffy ... giving it all that we can muster but it shadows to what I see on the other side of the field.

Loaded and ready to go.....

GL r00k. We're hoping for a victory. Not changing from what we've done all season.

BTW if we win you have to....

My O line is banged up. I dont think we will be able to hang with Lansing this time around. It will take a special day by Sanford for us to win.

[TimG]

We do seem to run into Lawrence alot in the play-offs. Last season you beat us 21-0. This time I hope to score. Probably Chungs last year so I hope he wants to go out a champ or atleast have a good last game. He is due for a big game as he really hasn't been great the last few. GL Jester. You have a great team and Texas will have to play a mistake-free game to come out on top of this one. Greene getting limited play might help though.

[JesterBlaze]

Gameplan is in along with some pre-game jitters! We're due for a loss in general and a post-season loss to the Trojans. GL to you as well Tim!

Second week the Vipers have been featured in the marquee matchup. Maybe that our good luck charm.

[Rip Murdock]

GG WVA. Too much firepower for me.


Iowa City

What an exciting game. Special teams won it for us today. Great field position and lots of FGs. Missed a couple 50 yard FGs late in the 4th to let it go to OT, but we got it done.

GG Lansing.

Now we get Texas, again. it is nearly impossible to beat a team 3 times in one season. So it doesnt look good. Oliver McKenzie got arrested after the win for soliciting a prostitute and also got a viral infection from her. Shades of Eugene Robinson.
Texas is favored by 1. Post that on the bulletin board fellas.

[BuddaKINGII]

good games guys. Bunch of offensive juggernauts going at it this week. good luck to those still in the final four...should provide lots of fireworks.

[TimG]

GG Jester.Texas revenges last years play-off loss to Lawrence. I think the 4 interceptions was the key to victory here. Chung was bad but didn't make any mistakes and I'll take a win over a good performence any day.

On to Tulsa. Not again.

Here's your beer and I'll drink one with you. You have an outstandiing team and one that deserves to be in the championship game. Just glad that we did not embarrass ourselves today. Good luck here on out.

[JesterBlaze]

Great victory, Tim! Good luck going forward.

I was hoping Stanfield wouldn't retire after this season. It looks like I should've watched what I wished for as he evidently retired last week.

This is a painful loss... 2nd time I've pissed away a 15-1 season.
