What! No MBA/BA Talk

[BL46]

I guess Mums the word this week.

apparantly not.

I am pulling for MBA..but BA should win.

Huge game this week. Obviously, BA is the favorite. MBA did get a confidence building win last week, but BA will present a far greater challenge than did Ryan. MBA's defense will have to play at the same level as last week, intensity-wise, and possibly need to create some turnovers. Offensively, MBA will need to come up with some more wrinkles on offense to get pst the Eagles. The loss of Chris Jordan will certailnly hurt BA, but Tyree Ford is a more than capable replacement. One should never count MBA and Rutledge out. I will be interested to see what he can come up with offensively this week. Should be a great environment as always. Did BA ever put in bleachers on the visitors(home, in their case) sideline? Roll Red!

Nope. Same seating arrangements as always.

Is Jordan definately out? If so, how long is he out?

I would agree with your take...if MBA is going to win this one, it is going to have to do so on the backs of the defense, probably including some turnovers. If our O was only capable of producing 7 points vs. FRHS, I can't imagine doing much better than that v. BA without some "cheap" points (short field, special teams play, etc.). There is clearly some talent there but just lots of inexperience where you hope to have it least. In a short, ugly game, anything is possible, and I hope that is how the coaches gameplan.

 

On a sidenote, on some other threads some are saying this is definitely Flatt's last year. If that's the case, you know his team will want to send him out a winner in this rivalry game. Lots of emotion...

Possibly not enough MBA horses are there this year, but they were not there in the 2002 Clinic Bowl either. I agree the Rutledge factor can not be forgotten. The BA horses are more than there but just have not played anywhere close to expectations. So not much comfort level for me.

 

It just keeps getting better at Carlton Flatt Field. We continue to share our home bleachers with our guests AND no more long hikes for the players. The new athletic building is field-side!

Pick up this week's Sports Illustrated to see a brief article and picture on MBA":s Coach Jeff Rutledge. Nice write up. Several other ex-NFL'ers also featured.

 

Glad that S.I. curse will be working this week!!

Thanks for the heads-up. I would have missed it otherwise.
