Predictions

Before I get to this week’s picks, I wanted to answer a question below about Brandon Wegher and his impact at the University of Iowa.  The short answer is:  depends.  Depends on the future of Shonn Greene.
Greene is the leading candidate to win the Doak Walker Award this year at Iowa and will get some [...]

Heelan wins 3A State Title

On the ride home from Cedar Falls on Saturday evening (which became Sunday morning) all I could think of was that final 100 yard run by Brandon Wegher.  Think of it.  That was the final time Wegher touched the football in a Heelan football uniform.  And he ran the length of the football field, 100 [...]

Preview: Heelan versus Decorah

Its time!
This is the game that everyone has been waiting for.  Heelan has a shot at their third ever state championship, since the playoff system was instituted.  The Crusaders will take on the Decorah Vikings Saturday afternoon at 4:00 pm.  We’ll have the broadcast for you on our sister station 102.3 JACK FM, presented by [...]

Predictions

Last Week:  8-2.  Year to Date:  25-16
I picked the upset right, Maryland over UNC, and went perfect in my college football picks.  Only the Bears and the Ravens prevented me from a perfect week.  Some pretty big games this week so here we go:
Georgia Tech @ #23 Miami.  The ACC is a mess.  It would [...]

Must see Blue Jays

This past Sunday, I decided to skip the NFL games and went to Omaha to see the Creighton Blue Jays open the 2008-09 basketball season against New Mexico.  Its always a little weird in November with the overlap of the beginning of basketball season with football season.  But the trip was well worth it.
If you [...]

Heelan goes to the 3A title game

The Heelan Crusaders are heading back to the Dome and there’s still more football to be played.
Heelan beat #2 Clear Lake 27-7 on Monday afternoon to earn a shot at their 3rd ever state championship.  They will play #4 Decorah Saturday at 4pm (3:25 pre-game on our sister station JACK 102.3 FM, presented by Wegher [...]

Preview: Heelan v. Clear Lake

It seems ages ago when Heelan played last but the Iowa Class 3A semifinals will get here.  I promise.
On Monday afternoon, Heelan continues their pursuit of the dream — a state championship.  The Crusaders travel to the UNI-Dome for the second consecutive year as they take on Clear Lake (4:30 PM Kickoff on 1360 KSCJ, [...]

Predictions: Week 4

Last Week:  6-4  Year To Date:  17-14
Not to brag or anything, but last week I did pick the EXACT SCORE of the Iowa/Penn St. game.  This week is kind a lame week for college football.  There’s only 1 game where 2 teams in the top 25 play.
#4 Florida @ #25 South Carolina.  Wait, who won [...]

A lot of work for Rethman

When you saw the final score of Saturday’s game between Morningside and Briar Cliff, you probably had a “shock and awe” type of feeling.  How could any team lose 73-8?  Was Briar Cliff that bad or was Mornginside that good?
Truth be told, it was not a very fun game to watch, broadcast, or maybe listen [...]

Heelan blows out Harlan 38-21

It really wasn’t that close.
The Crusaders broke open a close game in the second half and crushed the Cyclones 38-21, to advance to the UNI-Dome, where they will play Clear Lake in the 3A semfinals, Monday November 17 at 4:30 pm.
Harlan made far too many mistakes and could not stop Brandon Wegher and the Crusader [...]
