week 14

Posted on 11/28/201111/04/2025 by Mark
In my Week 13 blog, I prayed to the “Football Gods” for a game on Friday, December 2nd.  Well, I got my wish but the location is in Kingsville, Texas which is about a 3 hour drive! If it was an hour drive, I would do it!  Stupid Kingsville!  I guess next time, I will be more specific when I pray to the “Football Gods!”


Nina and I leave on Saturday, December 3rd very early in the morning for a trip to Cincinnati to celebrate her fathers 60th birthday.    So, I am going to miss 3 games this weekend.  But, I am looking forward to getting away for a few days.  I work hard and this will a be a nice break.


On Friday, the Madison Mavericks will play the undefeated Harlingen Cardinals in Kingsville in the quarterfinals. When I first saw this playoff bracket, I was expecting Judson and Wagner (they played in Week 6 and Wagner won) to be the teams playing not Madison and Harlingen!


In one of my Week 10 blogs, I mentioned Madison as a team that could shock everybody and they did just that when they beat Judson in Week 11.  Now, they are 4 rounds deep in the playoffs!  Wow! 


On Saturday, the Reagan Rattlers will play the Steele Knights at Heroes stadium.  This playoff bracket is just what I expected!  Both teams have big time quarterbacks and I know that Tommy (Steele QB-Nebraska commit) and Trevor (Reagan QB-Oklahoma commit) will do whatever it takes to win this game.  This is going to be an awesome game and could end up being the game of the year.  Wow!


Also on Saturday, the Devine Warhorses will play the Wimberly Texans at Comalander stadium.  Devine has a running back named Joseph Sadler who has broken scoring and rushing records for the state of Texas.  He has 3680 yards rushing with 57 touchdowns!  Wow!  I really hope I get a chance to see him play this season.   

So, I will pray once again to the “Football Gods” that Madison and Devine win there games.  Since Reagan and Steele play each other, I don’t have a preference for who wins that game! 


Nina and I come back on Wednesday, December 3rd and I don’t have to be back at the bank until that following Monday.  So, I will be back working my stat magic for Week 15, wherever that may be on Friday, December 9th or Saturday, December 10th.  As soon as I know where I will be for Week 15, I let you know.
