Why isn't McKinley Vs Lake in pickers challenge?

[fmtiger]

I was just reviewing my picks for the week to see who I picked for the Bulldogs vs. Lake game and noticed that game wasn't on the list. I'm going with Lake in this one, I smell an upset.

I send Obiefan a list of about 30 good matchups each week. They are from big and small divisions and all areas of the state. He also adds a few games of his own. It's hard to narrow that down to ten. The game was on the expanded list, but wasn't in the final ten. Every week there are good games but you can't include them all.

[obiefan]

Thanks for the reply LT. You hit it right on the head.

Go Tigers!

[fmtiger]

Cool, I was just talking to people at work and telling them that I thought Lake might win, and couldn't remember who I picked. Thanks for the info.

The Lake fans are pumped because they think they can win like they did in 2004. However this McKinley team is better that that one and will look to exploit their speed advantage.

Would you like Lake and 20? And you can name your poison. This is ludicrous to think Lake has ANY chance in this game.

Truth be told, carle, you are probably right... But as the old saying goes... "On any given day, Timken can beat anyone".... High school football...

Mckinley wins this one easily,,,,,31-10

Not unless Mckinley puts in their third string in the middle of the second quarter.

I'm sorry LTFT, but I'm trying real hard to visualize a "pumped" Lake fan.

"Ooo, gee golly, wouldn't it be really really cool if we win!"

It just doesn't work for me.

Canton McKinley wins this game if they can wear Lake down late in the fourth quarter and then put the game away! Otherwise, Lake can make things interesting!!

In 2004 the Bulldogs were 40 points away from being State Champions, and Lake beat them that year. Although if we could've made the playoffs in 04 we would have made it to the state that year. 04 was a bad year for D1 football in Ohio. It's just fun to see my coworkers stumble over their words when the bulldogs loose. Realistically Mck will probably win.

Funny. I meant it relatively speaking. Massillon fans take it to the extreme (and that's the way I like it).

WHAT? We're not NORMAL???

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

CarlE,

Massillon fans lead with dignity and class. Those assets are why they are as recognizable as they are today!

We're also very FORCEFUL!!!

[fmtiger]

It's 17-14 Mck over lake at halftime, but it was 14-3 lake at one point.

Too bad this wasn't on the challenge!! Some people would have been sweating !!!

My God.
He was right.

I was very wrong. I apologize to all concerned

Dadgumit!
We had a golden opportunity to separate Carle and some of his money.
Maybe next time.

:doh:

Oh man, I can't believe that Lake almost beat McKinley!:laughing:

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

Kamd50,

Lake just got worn down, that's all. That's all Canton McKinley does...they wear you down late and then finally put you away. That's how they went through the season uncontested in 2005.
