Big East Champs Hunt

The greatest game in the history of the Big East 3-A football has been won by

Hunt 41-34 in double overtime as they beat their arch rival Fike in double overtime.  It started as If Hunt is in for a laugher leading  21 nothing when Fike found a will and scored late and made a two point conversion to tie 28-28 to send it to over time. Hunt wins the top seed while Fike will represent the Big East as the number two seed.

In Death Valley Rocky Mount found the only way to move the ball was through the air and was able to secure the third seed beating Northern Nash 28-7.  There was nothing pretty about this  one as Rocky Mount had three ints  and Northern returned the favor giving Rocky Mount three fumbles.

Rocky Mount jumped to a 14-0 lead but Northern cut it to 14-7 at the half.  Northern had several third quarter chances as the ball stayed on the Rocky Side of the field in the third but their chances ran out and Rocky Mount added to second half scores.  The playoff brackets will be announced around  6pm Saturday night.

Duke's Shot At the Big Time

Who in the world would have thunk it. Duke football is 6-2, if you remember they were 6-2 last year and after they became Bowl eligible they preceeded to lose five games in a row mainly due to the fact their schedule last year had all the heavy weights at the end of their schedule. This year their heavy weight schedule was in the beginning and they are 6-2 with State, Miami, Wake and Carolina left. They could be 10-2 or 9-3 and we all know Duke football has never been that good in your lifetime. Can they win ten during the regular season starts with Duke as a nine point favorite over State. State At Duke: I truly don't believe at 6-2 that Duke is a heavy weight but I also don't think State is playing right now to be considered a light weight. Who wins? I can't pick State until they show me they have this quarterback situation cleared up. Duke 27 State 24 FSU at Wake: This could be a trap game for the Indians because Wake is sneaky good at home. However, I think The Noles have too much to lose if they lose. Thanks to Stanford all the Noles need now is wins and they play in the BCS title game. FSU 38 Wake 13 Virginia Tech at Miami: Tech has shown you the last couple of weeks the Duke win in Blacksburg wasn't all that hot of a deal. Miami has sweaked by a few and got plastered in the second half against FSU. Miami wins only because Tech defense keeps them in game. Miami 27 Tech 13. Tulsa at ECU: The Pirates should win but State next week the Pirates may not be as good as they should. ECU 38 Tulsa 21 Notre Dame at Pitt: This is a ACC game isn't it? ND in a sweaker 24-21 Virginia at North Carolina: UVA is the best team in the ACC finding a way to lose games. If Carolina wants to win out and go to a bowl they can't afford a slip up. I think in the 4th quarter the Heels are nervous but pull it out 27-23 BC at New Mexico state: Must be a mistake playing this far from home this late in the season. NMS 35 BC 27 Syracuse at Maryland: I can't say I like either team but I sure hate the quitters Maryland I'll take the Cuse 24 Maryland 21. Tonight I will join Edward Green in the TV both as WHIG-TV will have two sets of cameras going tonight. Wes Bradshaw will be in Wilson Doing the championship game Hunt at Fike while we will cover Rocky Mount at Northern Nash See ya 2night!.
