Conference starts next week, and all conference games will be double jeopardy. There will be enough other games to keep us at +/- 55 points a week max. Hope there are plenty of competitive ones to choose from... so here's the question: is it better to stay with more western/small school games, or should we pick games where the teams might be less familiar, but the games are maybe more competitive? For example, I passed on Kell/Hough last week in favor of a more local matchup... what do y'all think?

Fourth don't care what teams you put out there each week. Local, not local, in state, out of state, it don't matter to me... bring 'em on!!!

Sounds like you're outvoted, Fourth. :) But that's why I threw the "OMD" game of the week in there... I reserve the right to pick any game I want, for any reason. (I plan to make it a GOOD reason, usually...) I suspected we'd want to stay more or less local, though. I certainly don't want to have to investigate the ins and outs of some random 4A team just because they're in a tight game with some other random 4A team. The top-ranked games might occasionally be the best available option, but I hope the conferences more or less west of Charlotte (along with 1A statewide) will keep us occupied.... we shall see, I guess.

Outvoted? Fourth said he didn't care what teams you marched out there each week!
