Goodgers in Post Season Form

Bucky Beatwriter

Bucky's Goodgers flexed their muscles a bit on the opening weekend of the BTFFL season. The champions three years running appeared to not miss a beat from last season's squad. Curtis Painter looked to take over the leadership of this team with a 32 point output, other returning players seem to set to push for a 4th Blue Ox Bowl Title, including Dorien Bryant, Albert Young, Drew Stanton and Mike Hart.

"It is only the first game," coach Wendelberger told reporters after the game, "but we feel good about what we saw and did out there this Saturday. But you all know around here being good isn't good enough, we have our eyes on the prize, again." You can't win them all without winning the first one and the Goodgers have won the first one.

Notes from around the League

*It was only against Kent State, but Alex Daniels is making Farmer's coach/AD Kennedy look like a fortune teller. It appears that Daniels has taken a hold of the starting Running Back job in Minnesota and may very well be a very highly rated RB in the 2006 BTFFL season. He was the 24th Running Back selected and, as of the end of the first week, the highest scoring player in the BTFFL. Of course, he has to be in the line up to earn those points.

*The great debate of the draft continues into week 2, who is the better WR at Penn State, Dion Butler or Derrick Williams? Well, it is all even right now, as the two players produce exactly the same stats and fantasy points. 50 yards and 1 TD for each in their 2006 BTFFL debut.

*Some young players saw significant action on Saturday. Beanie Wells was the third Ohio State RB in the game on Saturday but the first one to score a touchdown. He did look good and if he plays and Daniels plays, the Farmers could be in for a return trip to the Blue Ox Bowl. Juice also got into the Illinois game. He is the future and maybe the present.

*Who is Austin Signor?

*Steve Breaston 8, Mario Manningham 10, Herb Grigsby 0.
