Searn is obviously hiding his own closetd geekiness and pretending not to understand the semantics of my post. But I suspect he has vulcan ear points at home and gets his hotel 'comped' at Trekker Conventions, due to his big spending at them.

Think of all of the CHSL coaching criticisms we hear year in and year out.

If you were in the camp that said using last year only (even though I used more than that) to say the league was not elite, you can't then point to this rebound year as proof it's is. The Knife must cut both ways. As a snapshot moment time, as of right now, the CHSL Central is what it currently is. That is a division of 6 teams (if you include DDC) that sent 5 teams to the playoffs, and 4 to the semi-finals (with the semi-finals still to play).

That ain't "dead" no matter how you cut it.

As you said, the empire has struck back.

With respect to BBR/Lowell - I simply think that BBR is playing their best football this year and I don't see a 2 score deficit. Is Lowell that good? I think the jury is out on Lowell. In their 9-game regular season, they played one team that made the playoffs (EGR) and lost to them. Brother Rice played 7 teams that made the playoffs and another that had six wins. The way Rice played at Midland, they could have beaten any team in the state. I like Rice in this one, but I don't think it will be a Midland-like blowout. It might even go to OT.

Anyway here we are.

DCC v. Holt. This is a solid Holt football team. Thier rematch vs. Rockford, shows just how much they've grown, and how dangerous they can be. This should be a solid game, that could go either way. But in the end, I feel the DCC defense wins this game with a big 4 quarter stand. DCC by 1 score.

Rice...very impressed with Rice. Would've never guessed this from the team that entered the postseason. Lowell, is a different animal however, and while this too could go either way. I expect this is the end of the road for Rice. And that will give Rice 9 losses in two seasons, yikes.

DLS v. Inkster. I like Inkster in this game. I think DLS maxed out what they had this year, I give credit to the coaching staff here. Inkster by 10ish.

OLSM...I was... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Qman) http://michiganhsfootball.com/topic/7510 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:24:10 PST
