C-BUS MARCHES ON

66-56 C-BUS WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES THAT IS RIGHT YESTERDAY WITH THE HELP OF THE DEFENSE LED BY JERALD BROWN AND OFFENSE LED BY MATT NAGY, C-BUS IS GOING TO THE ARENA BOWL AGAINST THE SABERCATS. C-BUS LET A 20 POINT LEAD SLIP AWAY BUT NEVER LOST FAITH REGAINING CONTROL ON A FUNKY LOOKING PLAY. JOSH HARRIS CAME IN TOOK THE SNAP WHILE NAGY LINED UP OUT WIDE AS A DECOY (LAUGH). HE PITCHED TO BARRE WHO THEN EVENTUALLY FOUND DAVID SAUNDERS LIKE 5 MIN LATER (LAUGH) FOR THE TD. SO CONGRATS TO C-BUS AND LOOK OUT NEW ORLEANS THE DESTROYERS ARE COMING TO BOURBON STREET.

KEYS TO VICTORY

SOMEONE ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON IS GOING TO CONTINUE THEIR QUEST TO BECOME ARENA BOWL CHAMPIONS. SOMEONE WILL HEAD INTO THE OFFSEASON THINKING ABOUT WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN. THOSE QUESTIONS WILL ALL BE ANSWERED WHEN THE VISITING COLUMBUS DESTROYERS TAKE ON THE GEORGIA FORCE SATURDAY AT PHILLIPS ARENA IN ATLANTA. FOR COLUMBUS THEY REALLY HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE. THEY ARE THE HEAVY UNDERDOG FOR THE SECOND WEEK IN A ROW AND ARE PLAYING WITH A LOT OF CONFIDENCE. MATT NAGY RETURNS TO PLAY IN FRONT OF THE HOME FOLKS BUT THIS TIME ONCE AGAIN AS THE ENEMY. THE ENEMY IN THIS CASE IS THE COLUMBUS DESTROYERS, WHO HAPPEN TO BE THE GOOD GUYS. MY PREDICTION AND KEYS TO THE GAME ARE BELOW.

PREDICTION: C-BUS IN STYLE. C-BUS- 63 GEO- 56

KEYS TO VICTORY:
1) IRON PETE
2) NAGY HOME
3) PAYBACK
4) DAMIEN! DAMIEN! DAMIEN!
5) 3RD QTR FRIEND
6) ROCK SOME A$$
7) JUST WIN BABY!!!

C-BUS WE'RE IN

AFTER ONE OF THE GREATEST UPSETS IN ARENA FOOTBALL HISTORY, THE COLUMBUS DESTROYERS EXTENDED THEIR SEASON WITH A 66-59 WIN SATURDAY NIGHT. DESPITE AN INTERCEPTION EARLY FROM MATT NAGY COLUMBUS STAYED POISED AND WERE ABLE TO KEEP THE GAME CLOSE. AT 38-28 GOING INTO HALFTIME C-BUS WOULD NEED TO DO EVERYTHING RIGHT IN THE SECOND HALF IF THEY WANTED WIN. WELL THEY DID DO THAT AND MORE. HOW ABOUT A BALL OFF THE IRON TO START THE HALF RECOVERED BY JOSH BUSH FOR A TD AND THEN ON THE FOLLOWING KICKOFF C-BUS WOULD RECOVER ANOTHER ONE OFF THE IRON BUT SCORE ONE PLAY LATER. DALLAS CAME DOWN TRIED TO SCORE BUT FUMBLED OUT OF THE BACK OF THE ENDZONE. C-BUS TOOK AND KICKED A FG MAKING THE SCORE 45-38. THEY WEREN'T DONE THERE. DALLAS TRYING TO SCORE FROM INSIDE THE C-BUS FIVE COULDN'T SCORE AND WERE EVENTUALLY PICKED OFF ON 4TH AND GOAL. WHEN THE DUST SETTLE C-BUS WERE THE PARTY SPOILERS AND WON 66-59. 66-59 WAS NOT FAR OFF FROM MY PREDICTION OF 66-62. SO YES, C-BUS WE WILL PLAY GEORGIA FOR THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP. MY PREDICTION WILL COME LATER IN THE WEEK BUT FOR NOW I SAY GEORGIA WILL BE FEELING A LITTLE CRABBY-PANTS THEY TOO GET BEAT. GO C-BUS!!!!!!!!!!

C-BUS KEYS TO VICTORY

THIS WEEKS KEYS TO VICTORY AGAINST DALLAS WILL BE:

1) GO DAMIEN GO
2) SCORE MORE THAN THEM
3) FORCE TURNOVERS
4) HIT CLINT DOLZEL HARD
5) PLAY BETTER D
6) NO LACKLUSTER 3RD QTR
7) JUST WIN BABY!!!!

C-BUS STORMS OUT OF TAMPA A WINNER

1) MAKE IT OUT OF THE 1ST QTR2) PLAY A GOOD 3RD QTR3) GIVE THE BALL TO DAMIEN GROCE4) GOOD KICKOFF RETURNS5) GOOD DEFENSE6) PROTECT THE BALL7) JUST WIN BABY!!!!!!!!!!

REMEMBER THESE KEYS TO VICTORY YESTERDAY? I DO AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT C-BUS DID TO PRESERVE A 56-55 WIN OVER THE TAMPA BAY STORM IN THE WILD CARD ROUND YESTERDAY. EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE 3RD QUARTER THEY NEEDED TO, THEY MADE IT OUT ALIVE WITH THE SCORE BEING TIED AT 42. THE DEFENSE WASN'T THERE BUT FORCED A TURNOVER EARLY IN THE SECOND AND RETURNING THAT FOR A TOUCHDOWN. BJ BARRE PICKED A PASS OFF AT THE GOAL LINE AND RETURNED IT UNTOUCHED THE OTHER WAY TO GIVE C-BUS A 21-14 LEAD. TAMPA WAS THE TEAM THAT HURT THEMSELVES THE MOST. WHEN A KICKER WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY HIT THE IRON 4 TIMES IN A ROW ON XP'S, WHY WOULD YOU TAKE A DELAY OF GAME TO MOVE HIM BACK 5 YARDS AND MAKE THE XP DIFFICULT. WITH 1:06 TO PLAY IN THE GAME, TAMPA WAS AHEAD 55-49 WHEN THEY TOOK A DELAY OF GAME. THEN WHAT TAMPA FANS FEARED THE WORST CAME TRUE. THE KICKER MISSED THE XP AND GAVE ALL MOMENTUM BACK TO C-BUS. WITH THAT SAID, QB MATT NAGY DROVE HIS TEAM ON 7 PLAYS DOWN THE FIELD AND SCORE HIMSELF FROM 1 YARD OUT WITH 6 SECONDS LEFT. WITH TIME FOR ONLY ONE FIELD GOAL TAMPA WOULD ATTEMPT A 54 YARDER THAT WENT WIDE LEFT. C-BUS WAS LEFT STANDING AND STORMED OUT OF TAMPA 56-55 WINNERS.

C-BUS WILL PLAY DALLAS NEXT SATURDAY ON ESPN FOR THE RIGHT TO ADVANCE TO THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. DALLAS YOU MAY HAVE BEATEN US TWICE IN THE REGULAR SEASON BUT THE 3RD TIME BELONGS TO US.
PREDICTION: C-BUS-66 DALLAS-62.
