Well, I don't need to troll as hard to catch you on the hook. Pine, on the other hand, has embraced the dark side, and doesn't try to act as a defender of the morally righteous when he knows that's not what he's truly defending........
Oh and one more thing, before I take my leave. It's not that I want what you have (I don't)..............it's just bad for business. That's all.
Take your leave? So soon? Checking to see what exactly is bad for business. Without a team to hate people wouldn’t post. I do enjoy the interactions.
Only thing I hate more than regina is Luke not deleting the Russian posts. 🤣
Btw, Pine and CID, what are your thoughts on the announcement? Not a surprise but thought his timing was odd. Why not do it before the title game if they make it that far.
First off, calling traditional small class Iowa powers who are heavy run teams a "gimmick" is laughable. Saying they can't beat good teams when running teams have Title after Title after Title.
Secondly, I also missed the announcement. Please share.

I know the stats this year are construed by probably COVID and who knows if all teams have entered their stats, but in Class A the top 10 rushing teams are still playing Friday with 9 of the 10 hosting.
7 of these teams avg less than 8 passes/ game. I have a big hunch that many of these teams will make some hay deep into the playoffs.

Indeed, will definitely be awkward not seeing him keeping stats on the sidelines. He's staying on as principal though?
I have no idea what that is all about. What was that announcement?
Quit talking in code, nerds.
There are plenty of Regina posts on this forum/page, this doesn't need to be another one. How about posting about the pods like the title suggests.
Projections?
Upsets?
Next round match-ups?

Being Outsider Proletarians, maybe we don't deserve to have access to internal news.
I guess we have to just stay humble and know our place.
In the interests of Investigative Journalism, Iron Doc has located this link from the Regina website:
Whether that means Superintendent or Principal, I don't know.
It's pretty obvious that the state laid out the pods in a bracket format. #1 seeds are in pods 4,8,12, & 16. #2 seeds are in #1,5,9, & 13. and so on. So barring any huge upsets, Winners of pods 1-4 will be NW Quadrant, 5-8 is NE Quad, 9-12 SE Quad, 13-16 is SW Quad. Here's a link that shows Varsity Bound is already accounting for that scenario. South Bracket North Bracket. The boys in Boone could always throw that away, but it's at least what's in the programming right now.
Ahhh, the private schools in small classes in big metro areas, rich get richer

Luke should pay someone to clean up the Russian and Iran spam posts. Good lord its getting out of hand
I'd agree that Clayton Ridge is playing really well the second half of the season, but word on the street is that Clayton Ridge has a few key players quarantined along with their coach. Could be rumors but that's what I heard yesterday. Can anyone confirm?
I do think a fully healthy CR team would play EdCo much tougher than they did week #1. It was a blowout week #1 by a score of 47-6 I believe.

If their school had required masks, they'd likely be playing instead of having to cancel.
Unfortunate for everyone.

Rainy/cold weather may play a major factor!

The law of averages would suggest there will likely be a couple of "upsets". Maybe like a Lake Mills beating a SW or an Alburnett beating Belle Plaine? I don't really consider a 5-3 team beating a 7-1 team a big upset. Now if an Ogden beats Grundy, a Madrid beats W. Hancock, or a Wapello beats a Regina then that's an upset.
Could be interesting... Earlham with their offense I could see them exiting this round
With these teams you have predicted to win, how do you think the next pods will shape out then?
Lake mills is better than their 5-3 record would indicate. 2 of those losses were by 4 points. One to a decent 1a team and the other to St. Ansgar who needed a fortunate fumble and big plays in the 4th quarter to come back. The other loss was to newman with their best player, who leads the class in tackles, sitting out. I would not be surprised to see them win Friday.
Clayton Ridge has officially cancelled due to COVID. They had been playing better since they placed their head coach on administrative leave almost a month ago. Still wouldn't have beaten Ed-Co though.
Pod A
Lisbon @ Grundy Center
Wapsie @ MFL MarMac
Pod B
Earlham @ Logan-Magnolia
St. Albert @ Riverside
Pod C
Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn @ Saint Ansgar
South O'Brien @ West Hancock
Pod D
Belle Plaine @ Regina
South Winn @ Ed-Co
Pod C would be a killer though! Both Saint Ansgar and West Hancock are good enough they should both be at the dome. Shortened season makes it tough. I think 4 dome teams are:
1. Grundy Center
2. Regina
3. Logan Magnolia
4. Saint Ansgar
Lisbon @ Grundy Center
Wapsie @ MFL MarMac
Pod B
Earlham @ Logan-Magnolia
St. Albert @ Riverside

Regina got lucky they drew a weakened Lisbon team early in the season. Lisbon is going to be a tough out. Disappointing they don't have more discipline with that talent.
Yeah...normally when a game is over, both teams go home.
But don't you worry......I'm never really gone.
