What bandwagon....I am still not on the North Branch/Brown City bandwagon. Why? Well Cass City really jaded me last year. The Redhawks started 5-0 and did not make the playoffs after losing their last four games. North Branch may change my mind this Friday by getting big conference win when they travel to Essexville-Garber. If the Broncos pull off the road victory, then I am officially on their bandwagon. The Green Devils are another story. They should easily be 5-0 (Harbor Beach and Mayville) heading into their game with Sandusky in Week #6. This is where is gets tricky for Brown City. After Sandusky, they play Ulby, Marlette, and Memphis. They might need a victory versus Memphis in Week #9 to make the playoffs, but Memphis will not be a pushover. I will be on the Brown City bandwagon when they make the playoffs. Rough Starts....Jason Beagle (USA), Lane Walker (Kingston), and Tim VanWormer (Frankenmuth) were all looking for their first career victory as a head coach followi...

Is it just me, or was everyone shocked at the idiocy of the morons who run Booth Newspapers? Even after having to cut back to three times per week, the empty suits still do not get IT. Last Thursday, most high schools held their varstiy football games. I was excited to get my high school football fix with the Saginaw News and Flint Journal on Friday. That was not to happen. Booth Newspapers decided to wait and publish the stories on Sunday. Yes, that is three days after the events of Thursday. We will not have to look very far into the future to see the extinction of all print Booth Newspapers. I would like to the the first person to congratulate Millington Football coach Tim Furno on 200 wins. Yes it is premature, but Millington has never lost to Bridgeport. Number 200 will come this Friday for my old coach. This is odd to be saying this, but it was a pleasure to watch Marlette junior Brent Speer last Thursday. He is the best placekicker I have seen play high school football...
