Disclaimers:
Williamson: “Good slate of college games this week, while the high school games are a little more clear cut. With 6-1 Berlin on the horizon, Marysville might want to experiment with its passing game a little to give the Bears’ coaching staff a new wrinkle to prepare for. I’m also a little worried about the faith I am putting in the Browns. I need to start picking up a few games here and there or I’m going to be throwing Hail Marys during the bowl games to try to catch up.”
Miller: “The Monarchs and Wildcats have an easy victories on the horizon. The Panthers, Pioneers and Cardinals have their work cut out for them. ”
Behrens: “Am I still winning this thing? Let’s see what happens this week with Penn State vs, Iowa and the Browns vs. the Chargers.”
Cordell: “What a great slate of games this week. Have I mentioned how much fun I am having watching football this season? Plus, the Sox are in the playoffs, OSU women’s hockey is really good and the OSU men’s hockey and Jackets’ regular seasons are right around the corner! Life is good.”
Pavloff: “It’s time to get back on track. Enough horsing around.”
Cook: “Go Bucks!”
Laslow: “Go Bucks!”
Van Hoose: “Go Bucks!”
Eubanks: “Go Bucks!”
