We should be hitting week 5 of the IHSA season. A big week of crossover matchups in the CPL but instead I am breaking down football matchups out of state, 2020 sucks! Well this week we hit Wisconsin and let me tell you some of these matchups sound right out of the CPL.
Sauk Prairie vs Baraboo
I have an uncle who once a year goes out and hunts prairie dogs. Despite the names these things aren’t actual dogs and are more of a squirrel type animal. I know nothing about Baraboo but it sounds super CPLish. Can just imagine heading out to Gatley on a Thursday at 3:30, getting myself a couple of Gatley Dogs and enjoying a Baraboo vs Orr game. I’d probably take Orr in that matchup but Sauk Prairie ain’t no Orr!
Baraboo by 17
Reedsburg vs Portage
As a White Sox fan it’s been a rough few days. And Reedsburg makes me think of all the Reeds who played for the Sox. AJ Reed was awful, Addison Reed was just okay and was traded for Matt Davidson even worse, and the original Reed, Jeremy Reed. After batting .400 in double A I thought he would be great. But as the Sox did with most prospects who could have been good he was dealt. And who did they receive for him? Sweaty Freddy. Portage is a neighborhood in Chicago and while normally that would be enough to get the win, but today I pick Sweaty Freddy!
Reedsburg with a late FG for the W!
New London vs Xavier
I will never pick Britain to beat Americans in football!
Xavier by 50
Winneconne vs Freedom
While I truly love Winneconne after just picking London to lose I must follow up with Freedom for a 35 point win!
Howard’s Grove vs Random Lake
Random Lake is super confusing. How is that a name? Why hasn’t anyone changed it? Are there so many lakes in Wisconsin that they found one more and had run out of names? Are there so few lakes in Wisconsin that when someone stumbled in to this one they said “wow super random that there would be a lake here.” I have so many questions and I need answers! But the main question is who do I need to talk to to get a 4:15 game at Eckersall between Random Lake and Back of the Yards?
To start a positive relationship to make the game a reality I will pick Random Lake by 14
Horicon/Husisford vs BIG FOOT
There are many rules to CPL Pick’em. You always pick Senn, the Phoenix are always rising, you always pick the Fenger Fingers, Michelle is always a beacon of light. But one of the rules that isn’t talked about enough is that if a team has a hyphen they are always the pick! But a slash is not a hyphen. On the other hand Big Foot is clearly the GREATEST HIGH SCHOOL NAME OF ALL TIME! That’s just a fantastic name. Though they really did drop the ball why in the world are they the Big Foot Chiefs? Horrible team name, just be Big Foot, Big Foot Sasquatches also acceptable. If they don’t have Big Foot on their helmets they really dropped the ball on this one!
Big Foot by 100
Oregon vs Beaver Dam
Oregon vs Oregon State, for a long time that looked like a game we would not be happening, but the PAC 12 reversed course, followed the word of my man Sir Yacht and the PAC is back Jack! While a schedule isn’t out yet I don’t believe hopefully we get Oregon vs Oregon State. In the meantime we get Oregon vs the Beavers! Not sure if they’re the fastest team in America anymore but Penei Sewell is one bad man!
Ducks 45 Beavers 30
Germantown vs Hamilton
Germans playing football in America? That seems like a bad move. On the other hand we have Alexander Hamilton. If we know one think about Hamilton is that he’s not throwing away his shot and he’s worth $10
10-0 Hamilton
Fond Du Lac vs Kaukauna
If there’s one thing any good CPL fan knows it’s that Ghosts rule CPL football. Ghost of a lawn chair, ghosts of someone’s Mountain Dew, ghost of the ghost! It’s all about the ghosts and cmon man but that’s another story. Well no idea about Fond Du Lac but zero chance the Kaukauna Ghosts are losing! Give them the state title it’s OVER!
