Facing the dastardly, dirty, hated arch-rival Bulldogs for 1st place in the Game of the Week! It doesn't get much bigger than that at Broke as Fuck Field....

[Kozure]

we take on hartford as 8.5 point favorites, which means we will lose by a couple TDs. wish we could more consistency from Markel, but we just need to keep on winning. how we manage that, i dont care.

[Matt]

Huge game.
It seems every time the Bulldogs and the Phantoms play, it's headlining.

this game has some serious back drops. As good as we've started this year, it's all for not if we don't find a way to win this game. Lawrence's only losses this year are to Tulsa and Newark. A win for us puts us in the driver's seat for the NC East Crown. A loss put's us at par and basically makes it an 8 game season.

can't wait.

[Argot]

Hmmm...SLC....

[Jave]

Tulsa's a great team, and I can all but guarantee they will win.....but 12.5 spread? Ummm.....I don't see a complete beat down here.

We arent that great.

I tweaked a couple things to spread the ball around more. No reason Singleton should get 10 targets. That will change.

Im worried about Playing the Dogs. They are stacked.
If we win I will be happy. And I wont be surprised if we lose.

[Hoosier]

We get a "worth watching" rating with our away game at Portland. The Seals went all elite forces on our Libertarian butts on opening day, and I'm not sure we can stay with them now. It would be nice to get a string of home games..but 'dems da breaks. I like Portland's team and their passing game will be a stern test for our defense. If we can learn to stop fumbling the ball...we might have a chance.

As much as I hate it I can't seem to get anything to work. I'm 5-2 and have given up more points than I've scored.

which ends up meaning absolutely nothing if you can turn the defense around.

[Matt]

seriously pumped for the game tonight.

Lawrence week! Can't wait

[tarcone]

I cant wait to see how the changes I made affect my game. I hope it does the things i want it to do, March madness and the IFL. What a night ahead.

[Matt]

hells ya!!

[Jave]

We arent that great.

And I wont be surprised if we lose.

What a crock of crap...don't try to run that game on me Tarcone! haha
