IFL GMs can thank me for deciding against trading Dan Alcott to Fresno. I fear that would've started a dynasty; it certainly would push them atop the rankings.

[Kobeck]

I don't know about that - lol

Man I hate bye weeks. Odd that all the other AFCW teams are playing though

[Matt]

ho hum

Another tough road game for the Bulldogs. Perhaps we were the beneficiaries of playing tough games at home last year. This year the tables are turned.
I view this game as a rivalry game of sorts. 2 (what are supposed to be) top teams from the NC smashing it out. Looks like both of us need a win too. The spread is even also.

What's up with that Tigerhawk defense?

[Matt]

we also took a dive in the power rankings last week after a tough loss to a good Oakland team.
Dropped from 1 to 7 and lost over 7 points in the rating scale.

Looking for a bounce back win this week.

Having Lofton back should help on the offensive side of the ball as well.

[Matt]

Did i mention that I"m looking for a Toads upset special this week. just sayin'

[tarcone]

Another big game for the Tigerhawks. We need to win this one. Playoff implications may be involved. Glad we are at home.

Matt has a very good offense and an even better defense. On the other hand, we have a pretty good offense and a defense. Our defense has been very good this season. Even though we are ranked #32, we are #8 in scoring defense. I think the stats may be off a little. We had 2 blowout wins and then played Pennsylvania. This will skew the yardage numbers I imagine.

Game of the Week is being played in a typhoon. Rain and 16 mph winds.

Lets get it on.

[Matt]

last years reg season game had huge playoff implications. We were able to secure homefield for the playoffs because of it.

hopefully history will repeat itself. I don't really wanna be 2-2.

[tarcone]

I thought I would start 0-4. So Im pretty happy right now.

[Argot]

Sigh...I hate bye weeks.

[tarcone]

[Kobeck]

lol

[Matt]

lol

very funny!



ok, i'm laughing
