[OriginalOutlaw]

Hey Copper, you might be in line for a visit from Wyoming in the playoffs. Fortunately you will be playing at home. But that doesn't mean you will have a cake walk. Should you win, I will finally give you some love. But I bet they give you a heck of a fight. The road to the championship still goes through Billings...

[ronaldoswalt]

too bad the better teams are in the pacific -- do you think the guard reads this lol

[jimbo32712]

They willl be lucky to win at all against Gosawfulsboro...and it wont be by 20...Osceola v Lakeland will be a close game ...

[GTDREW]

Copper, you know some of us Guard fans read your picks. I think several are good but with a few changes.

Let me know what you think, oh and don't count out the eastern teams as of yet. You guys out west have a solid 6 teams but the east has at least 8 that can play on a given day.

[ronaldoswalt]

we may be playing the houston texans --- which we are better --- i have both season tickets lol

[GoAces]

Don't get too cocky Billings. You might have to meet Tri Cities in your first playoff game...that's not an easy game for anyone.

[OutlawsFan]

Thats because the other 4 teams forfeited ;)~

[OriginalOutlaw]

Hey Aces, the road to the championship still goes through Billings. Regardless of who we play. We absolutely respect Tri-Cities. They played us a LOT tougher than RC this year...

Guard by 6 come on. I sure hope it is close but I don't think that wull happen. We will by at least 21

[GoAces]

I'm gonna laugh if Tri Cities comes into Billings and wins in the playoffs. But we gotta take it one game at a time. I'd rather play Katy or Wyoming before Tri Cities in the playoffs. But we will see. And if we had a kicker we would have won last week against Billings. Everyone knows that. Not carrying a kicker is gonna kill us. I already know that..we will see though.

[OriginalOutlaw]

Aces, a kicker might have won that game for you, but it wasn't kicking which got you less yards passing, less yards rushing, and a whole heck of a lot less time of possession. Put the blame/credit where it belongs, Billings is a better team.

[ronaldoswalt]

you must be kidding from now on all posters must contact preeths for a drug screen first

[GTDREW]

Just a note for OO, Remember that you can lead in all those categories (rushing, passing, or whatever) and still lose a game. I would have to say you were the better team that night or was it the one with more luck on their side. Anything can happen in this game so be careful about who you think is the best or who should or should not be ranked. The final score is all that matters.

[OriginalOutlaw]

GTDREW, did you seriously just write, "Be careful about who you think is the best or who should or should not be ranked"?

Um, this post is titled "this week's trash and predictions". Copper, we have our first candidate for the drug screening...

[GTDREW]

I hear you OO, but drugs I don't do but I will take the test. Anyhow, I think your Outlaws have been lucky more than good. Some would say that the west or should I say the Pac. conf. is better, I disagree. Too many forfeits, and not enough quality teams as a rule. I rated Billings as the #1 team right now. To be honest all of the top 6 teams (RC, Katy, F'ville, Billings, Lakeland, River City) can be beat. The trash part of this post is I bet you do not get to the finals as now you have a target on your back with plenty of itchy fingers on the trigger.

[OriginalOutlaw]

Good teams make their own luck. We had a little good fortune, but bad fortune cost us our only game this year. I only hope we don't repeat that bad fortune in the playoffs. I honestly believe we are the best team in the NIFL. There is no real argument against it. The only thing keeping us from having the toughest schedule is that we weren't scheduled against ourselves. The East had a chance to prove a point against the West when Billings went to RiverCity and won. Yeah, RiverCity had a chance to win, but at home they should have been more imposing. I place RiverCity as the best Eastern team considering they are undefeated except against Billings (they won at Lakeland where Fayetteville was crushed). The biggest difference between the West and the East is that the West was scheduled to have all the best teams play all the other best teams - multiple times. That didn't happen in the East, thus the inflated records.

[OutlawsFan]

Doesn't everyone have a target on their back come playoffs? Tri-Cities, defending champs, has a huge target. Rapid City, being ranked #1 most of the season, has one as well. I'm sure Fayetteville thinks Lakeland has a target, after all they got smoked by Lakeland earlier this season. Etc.Etc.Etc. Billings has received little to no respect most of this season. Now to say everyone is gunning for them is crazy. GoAces, people forget Dixon didn't play in the last game vs Tri-Cities and The Outlaws still won. Keep living the dream.

[ronaldoswalt]

billings or rapid city will win indoor bowl --- but if we (KATY) had gelled earlier in the season it would have been a 14-0 team possibly

[jimbo32712]

If my aunt had nads she'd be my uncle..If Osceola didnt lose 5 times they would be 13-0 right now. But they did so they arent.

[jimbo32712]

Florida will knock the SandSUCKS out of the playoff race.

[OriginalOutlaw]

Hey Copper, Katy still has a shot, but they are not battle-tested. They are a very "unknown", maybe to their advantage. Every team has a shot, we see you potentially facing Wyoming in the first round. In Wyoming, you'd get smoked. At home, you have the advantage. Should you win, your next opponent will make the game interesting indeed.

[GTDREW]

Jimbo, sounds as if you want three teams from FLA to go to the playoffs. I think that would be hard but possible. I have not done the math but "88" has the website updated. I don't think the sharks will make it for other reasons, like paperwork, etc., to the league.

Final word before I head to F'ville, go TRI Cities (lets see the luck tonight, or should I say "Good Fortune"), and Go Osceola (hate those T-bolts) and as always GO GUARD!!!!!, (show the Maulers how "Stars truely Fall on Alabama).

[NoBallinPDX]

we may be playing the houston texans --- which we are better --- i have both season tickets lol
Ouch!! That's gotta hurt!

[jimbo32712]

Dont really care if Florida makes it...Just I think they are playing fairly well and The SandSUCKS are fall apart. Also with Montgomery playing well I dont think Charleston has a chance...Even though Im 99% sure Montgomery will lose tonight. Cincinati will make it even though they suck. Osceola already made it...And Florida has an easier scheudule than Montgomery.

[ragefan]

outlaw.....


keep on under estimating the Rage!!! We Love it....If we see you in the Big game we will not be the same team who you only beat by 7....

[OriginalOutlaw]

Hey ragefan, you are next in line for the drug testing. Where did I underestimate your team? I believe my quote was "I place RiverCity as the best Eastern team". I even gave you a lot of love for winning at Lakeland. What more do you want? The only thing left is rating you Number 1. I'd be behind you in the testing line with a pee cup if I did. After we beat you on your turf? What is your argument? Look at it this way, at least your road through the playoffs will be easier than ours. As for seeing us in the Big Game, we hope that happens, except you will be on our turf then. Expect the same result...

[OutlawsFan]

Perfect summation, Outlaw. GT, your Tri-Cities team was not up to the task last night.
