Markesan Ripon & Packers New Punter

Had a chance to call another great game in the ECFC last night as Markesan came to Ripon. Ripon entered the contest with a 2-0 record and Markesan came in at 1-1. I talked yesterday about how some of the guys to watch were gonna be Aaron Baggett and Mike Riek. The Tigers didn't have to worry about Baggett as he was on the bench in street clothes for disciplinary reasons, Mike Riek showed up though in a big way leading Markesan with 17 points. Ripon's Ryan Hill who was in the game early because of foul trouble to Neumy and Hron got a quick lesson on how to guard a dominant player. As Riek took Hill to town a couple of times the Hornets made a run in the second quarter but it wasn't quite enough as Ripon knocked off the Hornets 50-34. Riek is still a man among boys in this conference. He is big, has a sweet shot, can control himself while in the air, and a few more things. Tigers had some good minutes from Gillespie, Lambert, and Nueman. Ripon sitting with a 3-0 record in the ECFC right now is super huge. Up next for Ripon is Denmark & Kewaunee next week

Ripon P.O.G. - Joe Lambert

Markesan P.O.G. - Mike Riek

Best Warm-Up Song: Bon Jovi "Living on a Prayer" just because I have heard "Bring Em Out" by T.I. I like that song but I have heard so many times this season its not even funny.

Super Fan of the Game: Kayla Lukoski The Best Dressed Tiger Fan

DumbAs* Fan of the Game: The Markesan kid in the front row in the blue T-shirt telling the Ripon crowd they were "Number 1" and not with the index finger.

Best Cheer: I will give the first "Boring" cheer from Ripon as my winner today.

Next. The Packers have a new punter as BJ Sanders got his clock cleaned free of charge on Monday night against the Ravens. Ryan Flinn is the new Packers punter for this weekend. Two days ago he was a bartender in Orlando. He flew to Green Bay passed the physical and will be the punter against the Bears in Lambeau Field on Christmas Day. Talk about a dream. However pouring in drinks in O-Town ain't a bad gig either I have been there. Best of luck to the Packers on a win over the Bears I hope you do it but don't see it happening.

Until next time....Rock on and Merry Christmakwanzakkah
