Week #1 ....... The week we've been anticipating for 9 months. This is always the hardest week of the year to pick an upset, because there's really not a lot of info out there. I've set myself up with some huge shoes to fill after the awe inspiring season I had last year, but I'll do my best. For this weeks upset we'll head up to DeKalb, home of NIU, Tom & Jerry's Gyros and the Preseason Prep Bowl. This week upset is ...... The Vikings of St. Laurence over the Redwings of Benet Academy. Now I know what you're all thinking " He's only picking St. Larry because of Coach Frank" well, you're partly right. I'm picking St. L because they have everything going for them. Tons of speed, a new found sense of pride(3 years in the making) a great head coach in Harold Blackmon and the greatest coaching mind in Illinois history. I'll be honest and tell you that all I really know about Benet is that they made the State semi-finals the last 2 years, are ranked in the top 25, and they have 11 returning starters. I'll take the Vikings tomorrow afternoon. Final score....... St. Laurence 28 - Benet 21. That's my upset for this week. What are your thoughts, and who's your upset?
