Yeah, it’s another football post. Fuck you for asking.

The brackets came out on Tuesday. We have an away game against another 6-2 team that we haven’t faced in two seasons. We’ve played the other team (blue) from their town, but never this team (white). In fact, the blue team were the ones who knocked us out of the tournament in round one last year and the team that we beat 25-0 in week seven. So barring some major meltdown, if we win on Saturday, then Sunday should be solid.

That leads us to Halloween weekend where on Saturday we’d either be facing another 6-2 team that we haven’t seen this year or the team that beat us in week 6. Not sure what the odds there are or which way I’d like to see it go if we made it that far. But assuming a win on Halloween, then our All Saints Day game would be against one of four teams all with a losing record – the best of the four being 3-4-1. So that feels pretty good too. Almost like if we win our tough Saturday games, we’re given an easy sacrifice for the follow-up on Sunday each week.

After that it’s pure speculation who we’d face on Nov 7 in the final four game, but I see that one of the undefeated 8-0 teams could come down that bracket and that they don’t play a round 1A game. That could be ugly. Win the game on the 7th and you’re in the championship game played at Welcome Stadium – which is kind of cool for the kids.

So that’s where we stand. Five wins gets to the big game.
