Happy New Year !!!!!!!!! Today everyone is undefeated, and everyone is a potential State Champ. Every team is also a possible upset victim. I always say if you're going to try and do something, try and do something BIG. With that mantra in mind, here is my first upset special of the 2015 football season. My pick is..........The #16 Raiders of Bollingbrook over the #3 Hilltoppers of Glenbard West. The whole world has GW winning State this year, and they just might. BUT..... I love what I see happening at The Brook. This defense, led by 4 year starter and "The Ohio St". recruit LB Tuf Borland is going to be amazing. They return 7 starters and will be really tough to score against. Glenbard has great offense, with 7 starters from last years team coming back. The problem I see for GW will be the defense. They are very young and only return 3 starters. They will struggle a bit early in the season, and you don't want to work the kinks out vs a team like The Brook. Final score here Bollingbrook 28 - Glenbard West 24. That's my upset. Waht are your thoughts, and who is your upset?

- Start date
I like the pick. But I think the score is a little high. West scores a special teams TD and the Brook scores one on D and goes for two. 8-7 final.
Not a bad call I'd feel better about your call if it was in the Brook tonight.
MC and Marist is a concern for me....also I took a flyer on Stevenson admittingly knowing they could stumble out of the gates early...also the DVC is a train wreck too

its gonna be like MC PC '05. I think that one was 46-27 . Marist 7 starters back on O along with the qb, MC 3 new people in secondary,, no major D1 defensive end need to experiment with how to bring pressure , blitzes etc . MC will score faster then normal s well with their O not time consuming drives hence highs coring tonight

i hope you're wrong. Ironically though, Bolingbrook's first game (loss) last season was the biggest upset in week 1 as they entered the season in the top spot. I think GBW defense will surprise some folks, but I'll guess will find out tomorrow. I think the score may be a little high. This very well could be a defensive battle. Looking forward to a great game, and a new rivalry.
It is an upset and I like that one too, LP is going to be tough to score against.
I agree with the Laurence over Benet pick as well. Laurence was very good at the lower levels last few years which could put the Vikings in good shape this year and years to follow.
I also love Marist getting some respect versus The Caravan. David could slay Goliath tonight.

I'm gonna be a total homer here and you can crucify me tomorrow if it doesn't pan out, but I like my Palatine Pirates over Stevenson tonight. We have an offense that will score ALOT of points against 11 new starters on defense for Stevenson. If it were week 5 I'd never say it, but I really think this is the perfect time to catch them and spring an upset. I know the Palatine players are feeling very much like they have a chance going into tonight's game. I can see an over of , say, 60 in this game easily
I'll throw my hat in the ring with DGS over H-F, in a reverse revenge feeto of the 2007 playoffs. If mothing else, IrishGlory Gump will have someone to yell at if the Mustangs in fact lose. Happy New Year boys!!!!

Thanks Feeto....nothing better than being doubted to make a team stand tall. I hope you are able to make your way out to Duchon tomorrow. Bones can only be there in spirit but would love for other to share in the day. My prediction is a 7-0 halftime score with GW pulling away in the 4th quarter. Edgy may have to look out on the sidelines if he shows because some at GW are attributing this upset pick to him. I am trying to direct the ire in your direction Feeto
Oops! Looks like its going to be a rough year for Larry. Small in size, numbers, and play makers. Benet dominated both sides of the ball. O'Fallon spunked by HC. As a long time Benet guy I can tell you lower level success means nothing at the Varsity level. Last 3 Benet soph teams are a combined 27-0. That was resulted in two 6-3 teams and first round exits. Can't wait to see everyone's next weeks O'Fallon over Benet upset picks. O'Fallon making the 5 hour drive to Chicago 2 weeks in a row, that's rough.
28-7 but I will say that Da Brook have a beast front 7 and will win a ton of games this year when they play on turf
I was just basing it on the rankings. They received votes in 8A. They have a pretty good program and the Hinsdale Central people I talked to really thought they would have their hands full.
