GOP and College: HWC Football Week 9 Recap

The recap is finally back here at GOP and College, and what a week to be home! It's going so crazy here, you would think that The Republicans grew an even larger margin in hte house and the Senate today. But that's not the case (yet!), and I'll explain more in just a bit. But first, if you're not familiar with the scoring, I'm going to Shoot you over to The Man really quick, for a brief catch-up, Bro?

And thank you for that introduction on how we do our points, so let's see the standings, and the scores!

Hot Wing Chumpions - 47
~~Mr Wolf Cleaning Svc~~ Buck Turgidson - 44
THE CHUMPS WON! THE CHUMPS WON! GO CRAZY FOLKS! GO CRAZY! The chumps pulled off a last second 3 points in the 4th quarter to take the win over Wolf's Cleaners. I was watching MNF with a passion last night, praying that ANYTHING good would come out of Kackett, and Mack Strong. Then, early in the thirds quarter it happened! Hackett caught a pass for 23 yards, putting him up to 40 yards for the night. He finished with 58, and Strong finished with a lack-luster 20 yeards rushing on 6 carries. I can hear the release papers being signed for Strong already. And I see that Lawhawk has decided to change his team's name, along with this slogan, "New Name and New Attitude. Same damn results."
MVP: Joey Galloway - 97 yards and 2 scores. About time he was back to his scoring self!, 16 pts
Goat(s): GOP and College - Bad coaching prevented this one from being a blow-out, as 19 extra points were on the bench.
Mack Strong - Was picked up after game 2 thinking he'd be the endzone back, but has had all of 37 yards total in the last 3 weeks.

Robots Eat Babies - 56
Hector Vex O-Trons - 59
I was really rooting for The Man to win this one big, but I may have given the kiss of death with my prediction. There was nothing he could do, his players just didn't come out to play. The Manning Wayne train ran out of steam this week and it cost REB a chance to move up to 4th in the rankings.
MVP: Devory Henderson - Attracted Drew Brees eyes for 111 yards and 2 scores, 17 points.
Goat: Justin Fargus - Another week of non-performance. -2 yards, 0 points. (Why does REB have a Raider wide out? Walter gets sacked more than he can throw the ball!)

webcats - 70
fmragtop's spewers - 55
I was right about the Charger's running in Cleveland. There was really nothing the fm could have done to prevent that. Webcats may have something going after picking up Damon Haurd when Trent Green went down. Marvin Harrison was Manning's favorite target this weekend, but he's still not quiite high enough to get MVP this week.
MVP: LaDainian Tomlinson - 172 yards and 3 scores on the ground, with another 20 yards in the air, 29 points
Goat: Tampa Bay's defense - 31 points allowed, and nothing else. -1 point.

RFTR - 51
I hate Hillary - 48
Another game that came down to the wire. RFTR was down by 16 points going into Monday, but with Seattle playing the worst team in the NFL, the Oakland Raiders, they mardech all over them, and RFTR completed the comeback.
MVP: Seattle's D - 0 points allowed, and 9 sacks. There were no picks because Walters couldn't get the ball out of his hands! 19 points.
Goat: Bernard Barrian - Predicted to get 120 yards against the Dolphins, but Daaa Bearsss fell apart like a house of cards. 10 yards and 0 points.

San Jose Arrowheads - 85
Gridiron Wookies - 55
San Jose is back to their old self again, and he once again is alone on top of the standings by 1/2 a game and 22 points. Just a solid performance all around by Arrwoheads. Wookies played good, they just picked the wrong week to face San Jose.
MVP: Willie Parker - 70 yards and a score on the ground, 67 yards and a score in the air, 19 points. (In going to visit the College-ette, I found out one of her firends went to H.S. with Willie.)
Goat: Darrell Jackson - The star wide out for the Hawks only managed 36 yards for 1 point.

Rose Hill Reddogs - 28
The Ball Sackers - 58
Wyatt had all 8 cylinders banging against the dog's 4. The dogs had one player in double digits, and 7 with one or less points. How did Rose Hill get those 2 wins agian?
MVP: Kevin Jones - 110 yards and 2 scores on the ground, plus 30 more in the air, 18 points.
Goat: Rose Hill Reddogs - C'mon man! 5 points from 7 guys?! That's pitiful!

Tax Dodgers - 78
The Columbia CRUNCH! - 64
Way to go Pops! Sitting number 2 in the standings, and facing a bottom heavy schedule for the next 2 games. Wow, talk about having the stars come out when you need them.
MVP(s): Drew Brees - 314 yards and 3 scores, 26 points.
Miami's Defense - Stuffing the bears for only 13 points, 3 sacks, 3 picks, 3 fumbles, and a score, 25 points.
Goat: Plaxico Burress - Predicted at 60 yards and a score, but he got nothing, due to his back hurting.

And now for the Awards:

BLOWOUT OF THE WEEK!
Gumbo - 63
bRight & Early - 28
At 35 points, this game takes it. How this score wasn't the other way around, I'll never know. Gumbo had 6 players with 0 points, but the other 4 averaged about 16 points each to give him a monster win.
MVP: Javon Walker - 134 yards, and 2 TD's receiving, then another 72 yards and a score rushing, 27 points
Goat: Alex Smith - 61 yards passing, a pick, and 3 sacks, -6 points

Best Comeback!
RFTR - 51
I hate Hillary - 48
This game REALLY came down to the wire. RFTR was down by 16 points going into Monday, but with Seattle playing the worst team in the NFL, the Oakland Raiders, they marched all over them, and RFTR completed the comeback.
MVP: Seattle's D - 0 points allowed, and 9 sacks. There were no picks because Walters couldn't get the ball out of his hands! 19 points.
Goat: Bernard Barrian - Predicted to get 120 yards against the Dolphins, but Daaa Bearsss fell apart like a house of cards. 10 yards and 0 points.
