BG, what observation are you talking about?

is it a guaranteed match-up?

well, if it is, and i'm only doing this right now because i don't want to study, but i think we might see a closer game. from all accounts, the last game was closer than the score appeared, which is weird to say in a 27-0 game. i guess people are suggesting it was more like 2 possession game. but that being the case, i think there are many ways this game can go. the way i think it will go, if history has any say in the matter, i think it will be much closer, with maybe a olsm victory. playing a team again is an advantage to the losing team. playing a team a third time, EXTREME advantage to the losing team, but i won't go there haha. but the reason i think olsm might be able to pull this game off is because after allegedly playing well against CC, and then being able to watch film of how DLS almost beat CC, olsm now has a better idea of CC's weaknesses, which honestly, i don't know what they are. and also, we have seen quite a bit of 2 teams playing each other regular season, and then the losing team beats the winning team later in the season, whether it's prep bowl or playoffs. wasn't it a couple years ago olsm smoked rice in the regular season and then got ran on by rice in the prep bowl? weird things happen. i think a very huge factor in this game is that regardless of what happens this week against davison, olsm will be fighting for a playoff spot. on the other hand, CC will be looking ahead to the playoffs. i'm not saying CC won't be motivated, but i think olsm will have more motivation in this game. the prep bowl can be tricky. sure, everyone wants to win it, but there is always a certain part of your brain that is looking ahead to week one of the playoffs, and it can be distracting. sometimes you have to have other factors to help motivate. for example, 2005 prep bowl, we came out like a bat out of hell and beat rice by 13, and just dominated the game all around. we wanted to prove how much of a coward fracassa was, and we made a statement that game. yes, we lost to them in the playoffs, but in the wake of all that BS started by fracassa, that game was huge and meant so much to us, and it showd by how tired we were the following week, only beating walled lake central by 9. but i digress. so olsm i think will come out with more fight, IMO. and with a playoff spot on the line, i think OLSM delivers. 21-14.
