rocked and roaded!

big game, at home and need help from the Lynx. Stranger things have happened. Too bad O has went on vacation since the trip to Louisiana.

[CyYoung]

Nice, it's the 1st time this year that we're 1st in this power ranking. I'll sit some starters this week, probably including Hamilton. If he wasn't already the record holder for passing yards, I'd play him to get this record, but I think I'm going to bench him. I hate to do that thought.

[Matt]

Here we go again.
Newark v Vermont.

As much as I want to win as the guy representing Newark, as a fan I want Vermont to win. 1 more playoff run for Virgil would be awesome. They are a great team that hasn't been able to beat us for a while. This obviously hurts their playoff chances every year. We have had their number. I figure if they can beat us and make the playoffs, they can do some serious damage. They've already beaten Lawrence once. They lost to both Tulsa and Georgia, but they were both 3 point losses.

Gonna be an interesting week 17

good too see 'Ducky' Mallard is at least able to walk. - lol

[tarcone]

Little Rock Week!

We need to win to keep our division title streak alive. If we lose, we could miss the playoffs entirely.
Im happy that LRs best player is dead. That will help our cause.
LR snapped their 5 season losing streak to us in the 1st game of the season. Revenge is on our minds.

GO TEXAS!

ROFL.....THAT'S THE BEST SMACK THIS SEASON...imp:

[Jave]

I'm back! Only took a week to get the net back on and......JUST IN TIME for SLC week. This is some ol' school crap. The Assassins and Stallions fighting it out for the division title. I love it!

[W0LF3MAN813]

Battle for 2nd place in the AC South against Houston - leggo!

[Beeznik]

GO TEXAS!

It doesn't matter. No way you lose to LR this week.

[jeffrey]

My playoff hopes on the line and whose hands are they in? My 74-rated legendary QB? no. My 61-rated future-of-the-franchise backup? no. My 33-rated, 23-career-attempt, 3rd-string QB; Should be fun.

His career passer rating is 135.4, though...
