Won't matter fellas. Pack will have 200+ yards rushing, I even picked up Starks this week as a third running back and starting him in flex. 38-17. Put it on the board.

Our local High School has a second round playoff game tonight at home with a 7:30 CST start time but I think I'll hang around and watch the Packers instead. They're playing a team they beat earlier in the season and it's small town 8-man football which I still have a hard time enjoying because the games are usually more like track meets with very high scoring. Maybe since Goodel and the NFL are so intent on having high scoring/Maddenesque type games they should change to an 8-man format.

Where do you live? I'd only ever heard of 8 man football when I lived in Nebraska for a short time. Do you have the 45 point rule where you live?

I'm in West-Central Iowa Chann. We were still 11-man football back when I was in High School but because of reduced enrollment and all the small school consolidations that have taken place in the past 10-15 years many of the small schools like ours were forced to change to the 8-man format due to the lack of opponents in our district. As it is, many of these small schools still have to travel 2 hours or even longer to their games which really sucks. Currently there aren't any, "mercy" rules in place and games with teams scoring 60-80 points are quite common. The team that we will probably face in the next round is ranked number 1 in the state in this class and they were ahead of their 1st round playoff opponent last week 60-0 at halftime!

I think you're correct that the 8-man format originated in Nebraska or someplace where the schools were too small to field 11-man teams. I'd never even heard of it until about 15 or so years ago. I guess our current claim to fame is that we're the only school in Iowa to have won state championships in both Class A 11-man when I was a Junior and now the 8-man format a couple of years ago.

It's not quite "Deliverance" out here Red but considering I just moved back after living the last 25 years in places between Milwaukee and Chicago it's definitely a culture shock! Lol! In fact I just moved after living near Burlington, WI. which is where I think Cheesehead Craig said he was from. (Tony Romo's hometown.) Oh well, when family is involved and parents start getting older I guess you have to do what you have to do.
