Mattjl - I read in today’s paper Cretin went for two because coach thought team could not stop Blaine offense

Congrats to Blaine. Looks like the transition to the spread offense has really paid off. The system works when you have a mobile QB like Peterson

#3 is named Tobi Saporu. and yeah, he is very intense and in attack mode at inside linebacker. should be a pretty large recruit that the U should try and snag

It was an exciting but ragged game.
It is nice to see a NWSC team flex some muscle, and Blaine cant be accused of taking the back door to the title game.
Peterson really is a hard guy to bring down.
And #3 is ferocious, thats for sure.

Why aren’t these games on FSN? I’m guessing Classic Twins games could wait.

this is to every writer that picked against blaine, i told everyone! this team finds a way to get it done and thats the way the program has always been. for them to finish 3-7 last year and bounce back like this to the state title game speaks of the great coaching at this school. and the nwsc is finally showing folks what they have been missing every fall.

why would cretin go for 2? You put the whole season and a possible state title on the line in 1 play when you can easily just kick the extra point. I guess its just one of those things; if you make it the coach is a hero, if not, people will question that decision for a long time.
