Here We Go.....
If you don't understand, just ask, only Epic bites, or calls people by the name.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.33 - HF:
The warren moons come out swinging, but admittedly, against at best an average first two opponents - interestingly both out of state (I cant recall the last time that happened for an IL team). What we know about HF is that they have talent on the field … oh that talent has a lot of speed. I’m betting HF hovers right around 9-10 until their SOS improves, and it will fast. HF gets upstart Stagg whom is 2-0 and outscoring their opposition by 35 a game, Brook, LWW...LWE. Survive that gauntlet, HF will go from 10-1 in the most efficient of ways. Good Luck. Where the hell is fanboy anyway?
8.92 - Flyer:
I want them higher...I put them higher, but what can you say? After losing their top RB, they are 1-1 with the best lost in the state to a national powerhouse from the great state of Loueyanna. Boy oh boy, though, next week we get old edwardsville. How many times has ESL been a top dog only to leave this game feeling sick? E’ville is 0-2. Is this their state title game? Come on Flyer, don’t you want to remain DSR-worthy?
8.33 - Rambler:
OK, we made a man made weiner, squirting a shirtless man, lost some key players, lost on the last play of a game to MC, i mean, eh em, Phillips, then beat national power Amat with a team no longer affected by syphilis, now this week get to play MC minus defectors minus Alek Thomas, who is busy fighting communism this week in Cuba.Bigger game for LA or for MC?
7.25 - Marist:
Lose your starting QB, lose your school’s be+st coach, go 2-0 without seemingly missing a beat. I think there had to be some sort of loss. Those were pretty two important components.I mean, are we still impressed with the rice win? Crusader is going to struggle making the playoffs...this week, Marist goes ESCC and gets CoM, who is 0-2 and starting a freshman at QB. CoM has done stranger things lately and stranger things 2 is coming out soon. Marist’s defensive line looks like a tidal wave...Marist cruises this week and probably the next few. Marist should rise steadily in the DSR with quality wins until week seven, where the fune begins with Naz.
7.25 - LZ:
Who saw this coming? The question might be, is LZ’s defense for real, like a few years past, or is montini’s offense in need of some help that ultimately chose Phillips? I’ll bet anyone a dollar LZ pitches a shutout this week. They play waukegan, that has yet to score this season.
6.33 - Phillips:
Ah, the position and respect 3A ACC never was able to receive. Honestly, some of those ACC teams would have beaten some of you 8A dudes, too. The real only question now with Phillips is can Simeon beat them. Other than that - honestly - there’s not much to say. They are good and look like a 5A/6A team and play like one as well. Should they be closer to 1?
5.33 - PR:
Look, this went from a team I thought would roll through everyone this season to one that three weeks in, Bones does not consider being in the top ten. Just another example of why the success factor is wiggity wiggity whack...ironic bonesy….year to year, every school puts a new roster on the field. There is no way PR can’t fight back and regain the top spot in the DSR, but with the schedule remaining, it might not be until the final production. Bottom line, that triple option needs to start looking more like navy and less like me the closer i get to the toilet, where and when i stutter step carefully looking for the best path and praying no one is watching.
4.83 - NC:
Central has to feel great with their start.Though the GBN win is no longer looks like a big win, NC is clicking on both sides of the ball, has a solid SoS relative most teams in state, and is looking forward to a challenging, but not overwhelming remaining schedule. I see a path to a title and more importantly, their first ever #1 DSR. OH GUESS WHAT...they play St. Eds in a few weeks….Man, that might turn out to be just the match up we all could hope for. So far, I think IL is having one of its better OOS seasons in a long long time. A win by NC over Eds will cap that as a certainty.
3.83 - MS:
Well, M-Swag...that was a tough loss...but you played a team that is 5 deep at QB. This early in the season, I don’t think anyone was going to beat LWE. The GBW win was a huge way to open the season, and though despite now being 1-1, the way MS scored against GBW one of the state’s best coached defenses and the slim margin of defeat against LWE...you deserve this spot...and will likely keep it until LWE loses….unless of course NC beats eds...or brook beats LWE….or shit, I don’t know
1.00 - lwBeast:
Hack it or pack it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few random notes like always: LWE is not the first team to start the season a unanimous #1, but the gap between them and the next school is the largest.
Props to Lake Park for their first ever DS votes...not ranked yet, but a path to the DS, there is.
This is the first year I can remember GBW not being ranked in the initial poll.
Peace, love, and shizzle
