What we have here is amazing braised goat in tomato sauce with a bit of juniper, olive, and sun dried tomatoes over a Cretan rolled pasta called sioufichta. Also some octopus in olive oil and a phenomenal Cava bean purée. I retired from 28 years of state government service, effective 11/1, and we’ve started our first overseas post-retirement trip in Athens. I know the pics are dark, but I didn’t want to use a flash. The restaurant is called Strofi.

P.S. the view from the restaurant doesn’t suck.

I've got an old conductors hat I keep around for certain occasions

Matt’s consensus AA NC winning 2002 season was one of the great scarcely mentioned individual seasons in OSU history. Dude played violently that year and, IMO, was the tone setter for the D even with DUDES like Gamble, Doss, and Will Smith Sr. on it. Will be kind of cool for Mason to play with WS, Jr. now that I think of it.

D1
A couple of 6/3 upsets, but is this the year Olentangy gets their first state title? Certainly one of the favorites.
Can St. X fair better in their rematch with Moeller? Got handled earlier this year pretty easily, 30-13.

D2
Harrison with a 7/2 upset over Kings Mills
Not sure how it'll play out but an Anderson vs. Massillon title game would be pure cinema. Add Hoban and Highland into that Final 4 and that'd be the (realistic) dream. A Hoban/Walsh Jesuit regional final would be a great appetizer, one more week until that can happen though.

D3
TCC might be a 6 seed, but come playoff time it doesn't matter. Runner ups last year and they are peaking. Could we have a regional 6 seed win it all? Not betting against it.

D4
Looking like we are a week away from a Glenville/Perry regional final, should be a blast.
Taft vs Indian Hill next week...what a semi...11-0 vs. 11-0...game of the week?

D5
Lady Liberty battle of undefeateds next week....11-0 Liberty Center vs. 12-0 Liberty-Benton
And finally....***UPSET REGION, UPSET REGION***....we get our first #1 seed down! Williamsburg loses to North Union, 47-14!
Not to be outdone, #11 Mariemont wins their second straight road playoff game, this time smoking Miami East 30-0. The world wants, and needs, an 11 vs 8 regional final!

D6
Garaway with a 7/2 upset over Crestview, 34-0. Get smoked Rebels.
They now will face a 6 seed in Dalton as they upset Columbia.
**UPSET ALERT** Carey as a 9 seed takes down #1 Castalia Margaretta, 35-7!
Coldwater vs Tri-Village next week, should be a blast.

D7
Another 7/2 upset with East Canton winning by 20 over Fairport
And another....Pandora-Gilboa with a 63-42 win over #2 North Baltimore. That's a lot of points.
Danville, an 11 seed, gets another dominant win, this time over Fisher Catholic. They won on the road 54-0 last week, and last night on the road 59-8. Blue Devils play up almost all year so they are ready this time of year.
12/4 'upset' with Fort Recovery winning 38-6 over formerly unbeaten Eastern.
11/3 upset with Cedarville over Country Day, 49-21.

Looks like the rain might not start until 3 or 4 in the afternoon there, which works for me.

Never thought these eyes would see the day Penn St is bracing themselves against the beatdown that is coming at the hands of the Indiana Hoosiers

Let's hope they are right but then again I'll just laugh my ass off at the IU helium junkies if Penn State pulls off some home field miracle nonsense.

GAMEDAY BITCHES!!

Or even two fullbacks named Brandon

Right?

I mean, when's the last time a team had two fullbacks named Brandon?

Or a WR named Barn?

Get ‘er done and leave with no injuries.
