Second try

So I just had a great posting written, and my computer lost it. Robbed.

--Eastview football has a solid running game, led by a very talented Jake Machacek. Last night I saw him run for 175 yards and 4 TDs in one half, and the Lightning rolled to a 49-9 win at Bloomington Kennedy. Very talented...I can't wait to see if Eden Prairie can contain him.

--The Vikes may just fall to 0-2 this weekend. They are playing a Cincinnati team that is an AFC sleeper this year. Plus the Bengals start a fellow Lakeville alumnus at safety.

--Speaking of Lakeville, how about South pulling the upset over North last night! In the first game in what will be a great rivalry, South went into North and won 24-19. All of the press leading up to the game was about how it would be an extension of the friendships that all of the players and coaches have, and it would be a celebration of football in a truly football-crazy suburb. Try telling that to the North players, who lost to a South team with no seniors and a lot of the players that filled out the depth chart at North last year. This, my friends, is how rivalries are born.

--This just in: Wayzata football is good. A very impressive 3-0 they are, but a big road game at Eden Prairie awaits. Can they pull that one too?

--T-minus 7 days until the Gophers season starts. For real. Of course, they'll be 3-0, but who cares? Can they beat Purdue?

All for now. I'm out like a football in Daunte Culpepper's hands.
