"Playoffs! We're talking about playoffs!"

With the West football team in the playoffs for the first time in 4 years. Many people are as optimistic as ever for tomorrow nights game, due to late knowledge that our team is actually good. We walk into game with a few things going against us:

1) Brandon "A Bay" Bay, defensive threat and Jacob Gannon's Sidekick on the line, is sick with Swine Flu/Pneumonia (Get well big guy!). Meaning we will lack the usual aggression that comes with having The Hurricane on the line

2) Xavier likes to pass the ball and have a big time QB/WR tandem, which could be a big problem for us because we have showed some susceptibility to covering the pass

3) They also have one of the best defenses(using a lot of wrist control) in the conference, they give up an average of 11.4 pts per game

With the way things have been going with the football team amidst the controversy surrounding theft and drugs, they have been able to overcome such controversy with the leadership of its seniors. Which has shown true team spirit, with that said I believe that tomorrow nights game will be a win. This is based on the fact that I don't think they have faced the type of speed that we bring to the table and with Charles"Hit ya with the okie doke" Rodgers, his ability to pass and run the ball might just put Xavier in total confusion. Also we must not forget our heard of good receivers including Taylor"Big Time"Bontrager so this game will be an explosive one to watch.

West vs. Wahlert...They Were REALLY Bad

So basically here's how I'd describe Dubuque Wahlert's football team:
180 pound unathletic teenagers try to pound the ball against bigger, faster, stronger teams and end up losing very badly.

West should've won this game, and they came out and dominated. It's that simple. Brandon "A Bay" Bay along with the other line members deserve credit for the victory, dominating the trenches most of the night. An early TD pass from The Rogers to "Tayler-Time" Bontrager was basically all West needed on a night where Wahlert's best chance to score was a 57-yard field goal.

To realize how crazy that concept is, I'll say this: Most NFL kickers can't make 57-yard field goals. So why would an acne faced teen be able to hit it? Exactly...

If I'm not mistaken, West is now eligible for the playoffs. Yes, playoffs. Now we might be seeded very low, but this is a huge accomplishment for a program that didn't win a game last year. Our turnaround was faster than Britney Spears at Peking Buffet. So West fans, acknowledge this feat.

On a separate note, the student section was kind of weak. USO's (Unidentified Sophomore Objects) were dangerously close to me in the first couple of rows. Always a bad sign. So attention all students..go to the games! Rock n' Skate became stupid after 7th grade! There isn't much to do.
That is all
