CPL Semi Finals! Only 2 Glorious weeks left of CPL on CPL football. While that makes me sad, the slate is full of newcomers to the party! Outside of Kenwood, I'm not sure any of these teams have ever made it this far in the CPL tournament. If Indiana can do it in the Big Ten, no reason one of these upstarts can't do it in the CPL! On to the picks!
Amundsen vs Whitney Young
The team that plays in the home of the Lululemon wearing, Pumpkin Spice sipping, stroller crowd is actually playing the team with the moms that make up the Lululemon wearing, Pumpkin Spice sipping, Stroller crowd! I bet this will have Illinois' highest concentration of women wearing those stocking caps with the fake fur pom-poms outside of the north shore this weekend.
Spandex!!
Kenwood vs Lincoln Park
Kenwood with a huge upset of Simeon last weekend. Lincoln Park with the big win over Payton. Kenwood won the CPL a few years ago, Lincoln Park has never really found the correct blueprint to success. This is the early game at Lane, so I'm heading over to Waveland bowl. I've got a buddy that is in an early Saturday morning league, and he reports that they get a break on the price of pitchers. I can't confirm or deny this information, but I'm thinking it's a good way to start what looks to be a gorgeous mid November day in the city.
More Old Style!

Morgan Park vs Morris
CPL What?? Gately Dogs cooking... End Zone BBQ Guys smoking... Red Coat security wanding the marching bands..... Welcome to the CPL Morris! If you want some advice about attending. 1- Get there early. Security will be slow...and unfriendly. Be prepared. 2- Bring cash for Gately Dogs. An experience like none other. 3- Don't mill about in the stands or by any fences. The announcer will chastise you - Loudly - over the loudspeaker. And don't worry about the smell of the garbage transfer station next to the field. Nothing to see - or smell - there. (Unless the wind is blowing correctly)
