BOGAN SAYS:
ReplyDeleteDan, thanks for the input.
1. I would love NOT to see TCSF in the D7 finals.
2. It would be great to see a Detroit PSL team in the finals...
Thanks again.

D5 Jackson Lumen Christi
D4 Lansing Sexton
D3 East Grand Rapids
D2 Farmington Hills Harrison
D1 Canton
Ubly could win Div 7. TCSF lost a lot of talent. If the stars align....You heard it here first.
ReplyDeleteUbly has to decied what team they put on the field and it better be thier A-team and play one game at a time or It will end up alot different than the Sandusky game did. You dont want to give any of the next 5 teams a damn thing except a good down home thumb football whooping. Go Cats!!!!
ReplyDeleteI had a NIGHTMARE last night. I dreamt that Ubly lost to USA...like 32-6. I'm not going to predict anything!
ReplyDeleteI don't think Ubly will beat Hudson.
ReplyDeleteDivsion 7
ReplyDeleteFinal Four: Ishpeming, Ubly, Hudson, and Waterford Our Lady of Lakes

Games to watch: Week 1: Reese vs Nouvel! Week 2: Ubly vs Nouvel, Roseville vs Shrine! Week 3: Ishpeming vs TCSF, Ubly vs Ravenna, Hudson vs Mendon Week 4: Ubly vs Ishpeming
Ubly has a very good chance this year, the only stoppers will be Ishpeming and Hudson! Ishpeming is better than you think and Hudson has alot of returning starers.
Division 8: Bealy City over New Lothrop

All of the finals games are going to be good except maybe the D1 game.
M-Live has become M-Dead for most of the year. However a pair of legendary prognosticators from years past have chimed in for the play-offs…jason53 and caacmikey.
ReplyDeleteJason53 hails out of the Detroit Metro area and must not have a life outside of high school football. It doesn’t matter whether he’s picking Div1 Detroit Metro or Div8 UP…he seems to be in the huddle for any team in the state.
Caacmikey simply makes the Free Press' Son of Swami a dried out fart. A sampling of caaacmikey…

I can see Ubly going far and I can also see Ubly laying an egg and losing to USA. Turnovers and penalties kill them. Ubly just grinds you down, 3,4,5 yards at a time. Throw a penalty into the drive and it kills them. When everything is clicking they can be scary. Becker and Sweeney will have them prepared, but most of their juniors are going to have to step up.
ReplyDeleteMlive has gone downhill the last few years, especially with Thumb talk. It used to be a good way to talk about football and basketball in the Mid-Michigan and Thumb areas. The East region might as well be renamed the Detroit and Suburbs region cause that is all that's posted about on there.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck to all the Thumb-area teams!
