SCARBROUGH'S TAKE: You Can’t Go Home Again, Even for Frozen Custard

Next year is big in the world of frozen custard.
Created on New York’s Coney Island in 1919, the dessert celebrates its first century on plates around America in just a few months.
They say that if you like frozen custard, you can’t beat Bop’s. It was 81 years after that initial custard when Bop’s opened its first location, but now it’s known throughout Mississippi (and at one location in Louisiana) as the best around for that old fashioned ice cream.
On the menu, you’ll find The Big Bubba (with strawberries, banana, pineapple and a cherry, among other things) and The Little Bubba. Only in the South can you find two sizes of Bubbas.
But, one thing that hasn’t been found on their menu is The Mullen, especially at Bop’s of Starkville, and you sure won’t find it now.
When Dan Mullen called Starkville home – you may remember he was the football coach there – Bop’s was one of his favorite places. The story goes that he always ordered the same non-menu treat consisting of vanilla concrete, chocolate syrup, caramel, chocolate chips and M&Ms.
Bop’s called it “The Mullen” back then, but when he turned his back on Starkville for the supposedly greener pastures of Gainesville, they changed the treat’s name … to “The Lateral Move.”
After what happened at Davis Wade Stadium on Saturday night, his relocation doesn’t look anything like a lateral move. There was nothing equal about the two teams that played in front of the full house of cow bell clangers and people wearing “Dan Who” t-shirts.
The game’s outcome – domination by the orange and blue guys – along with the outcome of the Wildcats/Gamecocks game in Lexington, left a lot of unanswered questions. Who is the real challenger to Georgia in the SEC East? Who is the real challenger to Alabama in the SEC West? Are there any REAL challengers in either division? And … regarding that “lateral move,” who will end up smiling … if anybody does?
One thing was clear, the team that Mullen brought from Gainesville was better than the one he left behind in Starkville. Florida led significantly in every statistical category.
A week after gaining 202 yards total offense in a loss to Kentucky, the once-powerful Bulldog offense gained 201 yards against the Gators. Senior quarterback Nick Fitzgerald completed just 11 of 26 passes for 98 yards and the offense was successful on just two of 14 third- and fourth-down conversion attempts. Since recording the first touchdown in Lexington a week earlier, State has been outscored 41-6 (two field goals).
From the Florida perspective, were the Gators written off too early after their double digit loss to Kentucky? That defeat doesn’t look so bad now after the Wildcats domination of Mississippi State and South Carolina. And, Florida doesn’t look so bad after the magnitude of its wins in Knoxville and Starkville.
We’ll have more answers after games on Saturday.
Another orange and blue team – Auburn – travels to Davis Wade this weekend nursing injuries and still trying to figure out what can be done about its inconsistent offense and ineffective offensive line. That should be the formula for State to turn things around, but after its last two games, can there be any confidence about that happening? The loser of that one faces a disappointing season after such high hopes in August.
LSU, the SEC’s second most surprising team so far, travels to Gainesville on Saturday. A win by the Tigers there keeps them in the Western Division race and realistically knocks the Gators out of Eastern Division contention. But with Georgia, Alabama and Texas A&M still ahead, an LSU loss makes its title run much less likely and keeps Florida’s slim chances alive.
In which direction will things go for the Gators?
Will it turn out well for the new coach and his new team? As one of few SEC head coaches ever to move directly from one conference team to another, history doesn’t guarantee a positive outcome.
When Tommy Tuberville moved from Ole Miss to Auburn, it worked extremely well for the coach and his new employer. In his 10 seasons on the Plains, the Tigers won four SEC West titles, finished second twice, had an undefeated season and won five of eight postseason bowl games.
Things weren’t quite so rosy for Doug Dickey or Houston Nutt.
Dickey moved from Tennessee to Florida after winning two SEC titles and finishing second once in his final three seasons in Knoxville. After relocating to Gainesville, his teams didn’t win a league title in nine seasons; only one team won as many as nine games; only one lost fewer than four times, and his teams lost all four of its postseason bowl games.
Nutt coached Arkansas for 10 seasons, taking the Razorbacks to two of their three SEC Championship Game appearances as Western Division winners. Six of his teams won at least eight games and seven played in postseason bowl games. After becoming the Ole Miss head coach, the SEC record of his teams got worse every season. His overall record in four seasons was 24-26; the conference mark was 10-22; and the Rebels won just one of its last 16 SEC games under Nutt. He was dismissed after a 2-10 season.
So the jury is still out on Mullen and his “lateral move.” It could go either way.
But, the verdict does appear to be in on what folks back in Starkville, and probably most Bulldog fans everywhere, think.
You Can’t Go Home Again, written by novelist Thomas Wolfe, was published posthumously in 1940. It tells the story of George Webber, a young author, who writes a book about his fictional home town, Libya Hill, South Dakota.
Webber had moved from the Dakotas, and his novel made references to Libya Hill. Even though the book was successful, things had changed in his home town. Residents were offended by Webber, feeling that he had dismissed them. They resented his success, called him names and sent threatening letters. We don’t know if they made any t-shirts.
Things could never be the same again for Libya Hill or for Webber.
Near the end of the book, Webber acknowledges that despite the pull to go back home, time passes, old friendships and familiar places don’t remain the same and concludes “that you can’t go home again.”
Maybe you can, but as we saw on Saturday night in Starkville, the reunion might not be pleasant and you might not be invited back soon.
Even if only for frozen custard.

Wildcats Win District Opener At Belle Plaine
By Ryan Stonebraker
Sports Editor
BELLE PLAINE — The Durant Wildcats started o class A District 6 with a bang last Friday, winning at Belle Plaine 38-16. The win gave Durant their rst district win in week 1 of district play, and set their overall record at 3-2. Durant will return home Friday to play Cardinal of Eldon. Cardinal will come into the game with a 4-1 overall record and 0-1 D6 record.
This season, district 6 is shaping up to be the best of class A. Entering district play, not one of the six district teams had a losing record. BGM, Pekin and Highland are ranked teams in some polls and there are many traditional powers when talking about football programs.
Durant had 306 yards of total offense in the game with 137 passing and 269 rushing yards. Both totals, and the total yardage, are season high to date for yards given up by the Belle Plaine defense. The Plainsmen came into the game winners of their last three games and a 3-1 record. Belle Plaine had outscored their last three foes 161 to 14 while scoring over 45 points in each game.
Quarterback Bryce Lafrenz is closing in on 1,000 passing yards for the season. Lafrenz topped the 1,000- yard mark last season. Lafrenz passed for 137 yards in the win, his lowest yard output this season. His season total is 891 yards through five games. Lafrenz is second in class A in passing yards. Teammate Mason Compton turned in his fourth straight 100-yard receiving game, leading Durant with four receptions for 106 yards and a touchdown.
Durant rushed for 269 yards on 39 carries. The Wildcats had two running backs top 100 yards. Tristan Hughes rushed for a season high 135 yards on 19 carries and two touchdowns. He has now rushed for over 100 yards in back-to-back games for the rst time this season. Junior Drew DeLong also rushed for 106 yards on 12 carries. Each averaged more than seven yards per carry in the game.
Belle Plaine got the football rst and put together a nice opening drive. But what they found out was the the Wildcats packed a defense for their trip to Benton County. Belle Plaine drove to the red zone and faced fourth and long after 17 plays. The 18th play could have been a touchdown as Garrett Straight saw a wide open Jaxon Kressley in the end zone. Straight lofted a pass in his direction and at the last moment, Drew DeLong got his left hand on the ball to knock it away, turning the ball over to Durant on downs.
The momentum Durant had found, was quickly returned to Belle Plaine. On the fourth play of their rst drive, Bryce Lafrenz couldn’t handle a high snap and fumbled. Belle Plaine recovered at the Wild- cats 10-yard line, setting up a rst and goal situation. Belle Plaine tried three straight runs but found no room against the stone wall of the Wildcats defensive line. Facing a fourth and 3 at the 3-yard line, Belle Plaine tried some trickery. The Plainsmen tried a half-back pass trying to fool Durant. The Wildcats would not have it as Marcus Engstler intercepted a Trevin Straight pass to snuff out the threat and turn Belle Plaine away from scoring again. That ended in a Tristan Hughes 10-yard run. Belle Plaine answered back with a Trevin Straight scoring run. The Wild- cats missed a PAT, and Belle Plaine converted a two-point conversion to take a 8-6 lead with 4:19 left before halftime.
Durant responded both offensively and defensively. O en- sively, Durant marched down the football field and scored again with 2:34 left in the half. A big 31-yard pass and catch from Lafrenz to Compton set up the score, a Compton 38- yard touchdown catch form Lafrenz. A 2-yard pass from Lafrenz to Marcus Engstler conversion pass set the score at 14-8 Durant. Defensively, Durant forced the Plainsmen into a three and out punting situation. The game shifted to Durant when Mason Compton returned a Dylan Fry punt 85 yards for another touchdown and a 21-8 lead.
The Plainsmen did score before halftime when Garrett Straight found Jaxon Kressley for a 5-yard scoring pass to set the halftime score at 24-16.
Durant outscored Belle Plaine 17-0 in the second half. Durant extended their lead to 24-16 in the third quarter on a 35-yard Hector Gonzales eld goal. The Wildcats scored on the rst play of the nal quarter on a Bryce Lafrenz 1-yard run to push the score to 31-16. Later, Tristan Hughes rushed in from 1-yard out to score the Wildcats nal points and set the score at 38- 16.
Defensively, ve Wildcats totaled double-digit tackle totals. They were Tristan Hughes 18, Zac Badtram 15, Will Lossi 13, Drew DeLong 13, and Marcus Engstler 11.
Durant will host Cardinal Fri- day for homecoming. Cardinal comes into the game o of their rst loss of the season, a 53-0 loss to state ranked Pekin. Cardinal won their first four games to begin the 2018 season.
Trey Albert has passed for 732 yards and 8 touchdowns with his main receiver Greiner who has 19 receptions for 386 yards and 5 touchdowns. Two Comet running backs have near 200 rushing yards.

Tigers Dominate In 61-34 Homecoming Win
By Ryan Stonebraker
Sports Editor
TIPTON — A week after taking their first loss of the season last week at the hands of state ranked, class 1A West Branch, the Tipton football team found something about themselves. They needed to get more physical and play faster. Last Friday, on homecoming they did both in a 61-34 dominating performance. The Tigers put up the most points by a Tipton football team in a game since the Tigers September 28 home win over North Cedar, 77-18. The points were the most scored in a homecoming game since the Tigers 2008 win over Center Point-Urbana 55-12 in 2008.
The Tigers had 534 yards of total offense in the game with 81 passing yards and 453 rushing yards. Tipton ran 80 offensive plays and had 27 first downs.
“Our guys up front played the best they have this season. They were dominant from start to finish. Little things we struggled with early this year, we have improved on and it paid off in this game,” said Tipton football coach Joe Zeutenhorst.
“Our message all week was to start out well in the district and we went further and wanted to start well against Camanche. We thought that going at the faster tempo we cold establish ourselves earlier into the game,” he said.
Tipton improved to 4-1 overall and 1-0 in district play. The Tigers entered the class 2A Des Moines Register rankings this week at No. 9. The Tigers remain ranked in the Associated Press 2A poll at No. 11. In the last ten years, Tipton 4-1 this late in the season only two times 2012 and 2015. The Tigers football team leads 2A in rushing yards (1,644) and is tied with PCM for second in rushing TD's as a team with 19. Tipton is second in rush attempts as a team in 2A with 274, 13 behind leader Garner-Hayfield-Ventura.
Also, the Tigers are 9th among Class 2A teams in points scored through the first five games with 168 points. Tigers average 33.6 points per game so far. Of their 168 points, 114 have come on the ground. Top-3 in 2A - 1. Clarke 120, 2 (tie). PCM 114, 2 (tie). Tipton 114, 3. Des Moines Christian 108.
The Tigers wil get a stern test Friday, when they travel to Mount Vernon. Though the Mustangs record is 1-4, the Mustangs have scored 116 points on offense and still are a dangerous team. Quarterback Brady Ketchum has passed for 805 yards and had 6 touchdowns on 81 completions in five games. Paul Ryan leads Mount Vernon in rushing with 638 yards, 7 touchdowns and a 5.9-yard ave. Zach Baker had 30 receptions and Detrick Vondracek leads in receiving yards with 227. Defensively, Mount Vernon is led by Ryan with 58 tackles.
Friday’s game at Mount Vernon is the first of three road district games remaining on the Tigers schedule. Tipton will play at West Burlington on October 5 before hosting Louisa-Muscatine on October 12. Tipton ends the regular season on October 19 at West Liberty.
Tipton led just 14-7 after the first quarter. Short touchdown runs by Connor Hermiston and Austin Lenz accounted for the Tigers points in the quarter. Camanche cut the Tigers lead to 14-13 after a Baylor Crigger 24 yard run early in the second quarter.
Tipton responded, in a very big way. The Tigers scored 32 unanswered points to finish the half with a 46-13 lead. Tipton scored four touchdowns and converted four two-point conversion tries after those scores to set a new season best for points scored in a quarter. Logan Stolte had two touchdown runs, one of 3 and another of 58 yards. Lenz scored his second in the game, a 9-yard run, after Stolte’s first score. Connor Hermiston also scored his second touchdown of the game in the first half. In all, three Tipton running backs each had two rushing touchdowns in the first half.
Camanche outscored the Tigers 21-15 in the second half. The game played to its conclusion as the Tigers did not get to the 35-point running clock mercy rule. Tipton’s touchdowns in the second half came from two 1-yard scoring runs, one each from senior Dylan Mente and another from freshman Lake Anderson.
Tipton nearly ran for more yards in the game than Camanche’s first three opponents (Northeast, North Cedar, Bellevue) did combined against the Indians - 496 to the Tigers 453. Logan Stolte topped the 600-yard mark for the season, rushing for a team high 195 yards on 22 carries. Connor Hermiston joined him with over 100 yards rushing with 103 on 15 carries. It’s the second time Hermiston has went over the century mark this season. Anderson had 53 yards, Jaxon Murphy rushed for 47 yards and Davis Butler and Lenz finished with 29 and 23 yards respectively. Ten different Tigers ran the football in the game for positive yardage in the game.
Tipton passed for 81 yards in the game. Blake Wilkins had a fine night, completing four of six pass attempts for 81 yards. He did not throw a touchdown or an interception. Frank Bierman caught 3 passes for 33 yards and Hermiston had one reception for 48 yards.
Defensively, the Tigers top tacklers were Chance Koch with 12, Dylan Mente with 6 and Logan Stolte with 5. Koch had 8 solo tackles. Nile Schuett had a sack and a tackle for loss. Mente, Andrew Comstock and Frank Bierman also each had a tackle for loss in the game.
The Tigers lead class 2A district 5 in points scored with 168 and are one of four teams that have scored over 100 points for D5 teams. Louisa-Muscatine is second with 152 points and Camanche is third with 127 points scored.

TIPTON — A week after taking their first loss of the season last week at the hands of state ranked, class 1A West Branch, the Tipton football team found something about themselves. They needed to get more physical and play faster. Last Friday, on homecoming they did both in a 61-34 dominating performance. The Tigers put up the most points by a Tipton football team in a game since the Tigers September 28 home win over North Cedar, 77-18. The points were the most scored in a homecoming game since the Tigers 2008 win over Center Point-Urbana 55-12 in 2008.
The Tigers had 534 yards of total offense in the game with 81 passing yards and 453 rushing yards. Tipton ran 80 offensive plays and had 27 first downs.
“Our guys up front played the best they have this season. They were dominant from start to finish. Little things we struggled with early this year, we have improved on and it paid off in this game,” said Tipton football coach Joe Zeutenhorst.
“Our message all week was to start out well in the district and we went further and wanted to start well against Camanche. We thought that going at the faster tempo we cold establish ourselves earlier into the game,” he said.
Tipton improved to 4-1 overall and 1-0 in district play. The Tigers entered the class 2A Des Moines Register rankings this week at No. 9. The Tigers remain ranked in the Associated Press 2A poll at No. 11. In the last ten years, Tipton 4-1 this late in the season only two times 2012 and 2015. The Tigers football team leads 2A in rushing yards (1,644) and is tied with PCM for second in rushing TD's as a team with 19. Tipton is second in rush attempts as a team in 2A with 274, 13 behind leader Garner-Hayfield-Ventura.
Also, the Tigers are 9th among Class 2A teams in points scored through the first five games with 168 points. Tigers average 33.6 points per game so far. Of their 168 points, 114 have come on the ground. Top-3 in 2A - 1. Clarke 120, 2 (tie). PCM 114, 2 (tie). Tipton 114, 3. Des Moines Christian 108.
The Tigers wil get a stern test Friday, when they travel to Mount Vernon. Though the Mustangs record is 1-4, the Mustangs have scored 116 points on offense and still are a dangerous team. Quarterback Brady Ketchum has passed for 805 yards and had 6 touchdowns on 81 completions in five games. Paul Ryan leads Mount Vernon in rushing with 638 yards, 7 touchdowns and a 5.9-yard ave. Zach Baker had 30 receptions and Detrick Vondracek leads in receiving yards with 227. Defensively, Mount Vernon is led by Ryan with 58 tackles.
Friday’s game at Mount Vernon is the first of three road district games remaining on the Tigers schedule. Tipton will play at West Burlington on October 5 before hosting Louisa-Muscatine on October 12. Tipton ends the regular season on October 19 at West Liberty.
Tipton led just 14-7 after the first quarter. Short touchdown runs by Connor Hermiston and Austin Lenz accounted for the Tigers points in the quarter. Camanche cut the Tigers lead to 14-13 after a Baylor Crigger 24 yard run early in the second quarter.
Tipton responded, in a very big way. The Tigers scored 32 unanswered points to finish the half with a 46-13 lead. Tipton scored four touchdowns and converted four two-point conversion tries after those scores to set a new season best for points scored in a quarter. Logan Stolte had two touchdown runs, one of 3 and another of 58 yards. Lenz scored his second in the game, a 9-yard run, after Stolte’s first score. Connor Hermiston also scored his second touchdown of the game in the first half. In all, three Tipton running backs each had two rushing touchdowns in the first half.
Camanche outscored the Tigers 21-15 in the second half. The game played to its conclusion as the Tigers did not get to the 35-point running clock mercy rule. Tipton’s touchdowns in the second half came from two 1-yard scoring runs, one each from senior Dylan Mente and another from freshman Lake Anderson.
Tipton nearly ran for more yards in the game than Camanche’s first three opponents (Northeast, North Cedar, Bellevue) did combined against the Indians - 496 to the Tigers 453. Logan Stolte topped the 600-yard mark for the season, rushing for a team high 195 yards on 22 carries. Connor Hermiston joined him with over 100 yards rushing with 103 on 15 carries. It’s the second time Hermiston has went over the century mark this season. Anderson had 53 yards, Jaxon Murphy rushed for 47 yards and Davis Butler and Lenz finished with 29 and 23 yards respectively. Ten different Tigers ran the football in the game for positive yardage in the game.
Tipton passed for 81 yards in the game. Blake Wilkins had a fine night, completing four of six pass attempts for 81 yards. He did not throw a touchdown or an interception. Frank Bierman caught 3 passes for 33 yards and Hermiston had one reception for 48 yards.
Defensively, the Tigers top tacklers were Chance Koch with 12, Dylan Mente with 6 and Logan Stolte with 5. Koch had 8 solo tackles. Nile Schuett had a sack and a tackle for loss. Mente, Andrew Comstock and Frank Bierman also each had a tackle for loss in the game.
The Tigers lead class 2A district 5 in points scored with 168 and are one of four teams that have scored over 100 points for D5 teams. Louisa-Muscatine is second with 152 points and Camanche is third with 127 points scored.

SCARBROUGH'S TAKE: Athens of East, Watch Out for Athens of the WestAthens of East, Watch Out for Athens of the West

“But Lexington will ever be, the Loveliest and the Best; A Paradise thou’rt to me, Sweet Athens of the West.” — – Poet Josiah Espy (from poem “Athens of the West,” early 1800s)
In 1782, Lexington (now in Kentucky), petitioned the Virginia General Assembly to become a town. That request was granted and by 1820, just 38 years after its founding, Lexington was one of the largest and wealthiest towns west of the Allegheny Mountains. Its lifestyle was so cultured that it soon embraced the nickname “Athens of the West,” taken from Josiah’s poem.
Back then, nobody in Lexington talked about football. For that matter, they hadn’t started talking about basketball either. Neither one existed.
But, people there are sure talking about football today just a few weeks before the start of basketball practice … and for good reason.
What’s happening in Lexington may not last, but I have to admit, I didn’t seeing that coming.
After Saturday’s total demolition of highly regarded Mississippi State (28-7) at Kroger Field, Kentucky is starting to look like the most likely challenger to Georgia in the SEC Eastern Division.
The Wildcats sit at 4-0 overall, 2-0 in the Southeastern Conference. There are only three SEC teams with 2-0 league marks – Alabama, Georgia … and Kentucky.
Just three weeks into the season, only four SEC teams remain undefeated – Alabama, Georgia, LSU … and Kentucky.
In this week’s Associated Press and Coaches polls, the Wildcats are ranked No. 17 in both, the first time to be ranked in 11 years.
Before the season, most would have figured Kentucky to be 0-2 in the conference, hopefully good enough to win non-conference games against Central Michigan and Murray State.
Instead, the Wildcats defeated No. 25 Florida in Gainesville, 27-16, its first win over the Gators in over 30 years. Then, No. 14 Mississippi State was the victim. Neither one was a fluke.
Against the Gators, Kentucky had over 300 yards rushing, outgained Florida by almost 100 yards and had more time of possession. Running back Benny Snell gained 175 yards on the ground. Junior college transfer quarterback Terry Wilson had 275 yards total offense and was responsible for three touchdowns.
Against the Bulldogs, the Cats were even more dominant. They held State to 56 yards rushing and 201 total yards total offense (386 yards below its season average). Snell ran for 165 yards and four touchdowns, while the Bulldogs had 169 penalty yards and averaged only two yards per carry.
Other Saturday games shed more light on what’s happening.
Is Florida really any good? Based on the Gators game in Knoxville, you would think so. Florida destroyed Tennessee, building a 33-3 lead, before winning, 47-21. The Volunteers averaged just 2.9 yards per rushing attempt and Florida forced six turnovers. So, Tennessee isn’t a likely contender, and Kentucky has already handled Florida.
South Carolina beat Vanderbilt, 37-14. Playing in Nashville, the Gamecocks scored 20 unanswered points, allowed the Commodores just 92 rushing yards and outgained the ‘Dores by 250 yards. So, Vandy isn’t a likely contender, and Georgia has already handled South Carolina.
In the East, that just leaves Missouri. Georgia put up 43 on the Tigers on Saturday in Columbia, Mo., never trailed and led at one point by 20. So, Missouri isn’t a likely contender.
That leaves the Dogs and the Wildcats.
The road is far from clear for Kentucky.
South Carolina comes to Lexington on Saturday. The Gamecocks, the near unanimous preseason pick as Eastern Division runner-up, can do major damage to the Wildcats dreams for the season with a win. The next week, the Cats travel to College Station where Texas A&M almost beat Clemson, Lindy’s preseason No. 1 ranked team. Vandy, Missouri and Tennessee are still on the schedule.
How about Georgia’s road? The Bulldogs still have to play at No. 5 LSU and host No. 10 Auburn. Kentucky doesn’t have to face either of those. And, there’s the annual shootout in Jacksonville against the Gator team that Kentucky has already beaten.
It’s not likely that the Wildcats take down South Carolina, Texas A&M, Vandy and Missouri in the next four games, but the way they’ve played so far, that’s not impossible. If so, mark November 3 on the calendar.
That’s the day that Georgia comes to Lexington, possibly with first place in the SEC East on the line.
The Athens of the East against the Athens of the West.
I still can’t see that happening, but don’t sell the Wildcats short.
Look what’s happened so far.
I didn’t see that coming either.

STANWOOD — Stunning. That was the feeling Friday night at the North Cedar homecoming game against Columbus Junction. There, the Knights ran all over the Wildcats and won their first football game of the season in a 53-24 rout of their last non-district opponent. The Knights entered the football game with 383 yards on the ground. Last Friday, they rushed for 507 yards. The swell in running yards was part of a 588-yard total offense output by the Knights in the game.
North Cedar had two running backs top the 100-yard mark in the game. Brody Hawtrey rushed for 303 yards on 32 carries. He had a per carry average of 9.4 in the game. He rushed for two touchdowns. Logan Thimmes rushed for 121 yards on 18 carries for a 6.7-yard per carry average. John Scheer rushed for 38 yards on five carries.
Ethan Sahr passed for 81 yards on 8-of-12 pass attempts. He had one touchdown pass and no interceptions. Four Knights caught at least one pass, led by Tyler Alexander who had four receptions for 39 yards. Gage Walshire caught his first touchdown pass of the season, a 20-yard pass play in the fourth quarter.
Defensively, North Cedar was led by Tyler Thurston and Thimmes who each had 9 tackles. Tyler Jackson and Gage Walshire each had 5. Thimmes added two tackles for loss and as a team, North Cedar had nine tackles for loss in the game. Tyler Alexander also had an interception in the game.
North Cedar scored the game’s first points on a Logan Thimmes 7-yard run. The Knights tried a two-point conversion, but it failed. The Wildcats tied the score at 6-6 after the first quarter, on a 51-yard scoring run later in the quarter. They also had a failed two-point conversion.
Each team scored 6 points in the second quarter to set the halftime score at 12-12. North Cedar’s score came on the first of two Brody Hawtrey touchdown runs, this one from 1-yard out.
North Cedar scored the only points in the third quarter on touchdown runs of 29 and 1-yard from Brody Hawtrey and Logan Thimmes to give North Cedar a 26-12 lead going to the final quarter.
In the final quarter, everything went North Cedar’s way. The Knights scored three quick touchdowns to open the final quarter and extend their lead to 46-12. An Ethan Sahr touchdown pass, Thimmes’ third touchdown run and a Jon Scheer 3-yard run accounted for the 20 points and helped North Cedar put the game away. The Knights officially opened the second half with 34 straight, unanswered points.
Leading 46-18, Tyler Jackson would score the final touchdown for the Knights, a 15-yard run to set the score at 53-18.
The Knights equaled their win total in each of the past two seasons with the wins. The Knights were 1-8 in both 2016 and 2017. There are five football games, all district contests, left in the Knights season to try to build on the win last Friday.
The Knights join four other class 1A district four teams with a victory as they improve to 1-3. The Knights also joined Cascade, Bellevue and West Branch as teams that have scored over 100 points so far this season. The Knights have now scored 113 points. The Knights will host Cascade Friday.

Sports Editor

In the latest Radio Iowa football poll, Benton is ranked No. 4 in class 2A and Wilton is ranked No. 5 in class 1A.
Wilton came to play and had a very good first quarter. The Beavers snuffed out the Run-Pass-Option plays that the Bobcats are known for this year and held Benton scoreless in the opening quarter. Wilton scored first in the game and with 1:52 left in the opening quarter, Jerome Mays found Ronen Santiago for a 13-yard touchdown pass. After a Brock Hartley PAT, Wilton led 7-0.
Benton found their way in the second quarter, scoring two touchdowns and taking advantage of Wilton penalties. Benton scored the first of two touchdowns with 5:36 left before halftime, when Matt Davis found a seam and scored from 22 yards out. The PAT kick was now good, and Wilton still led 7-6. Late in the half, under a minute, the Bobcats scored again. Bobcat quarterback Clayton Krousie connected with Jack Shaw on a 4-yard touchdown pass with just 22 seconds left before halftime to give the Bobcats their first lead, 12-7. Benton would miss on a two-point conversion try, as the score was 12-7 at halftime.
Benton took control of the game in the third quarter, scoring two touchdowns, both in the third quarter. Davis scored his second rushing score with 8:49 left in the third, from 24 yards out and Krousie rushed for a 12-yard touchdown with 3:55 left in the quarter to set the score at 26-7.
Wilton kept fighting. The Beavers would cross the goal line one more time in the fourth quarter. With less than ten seconds left in the game, Jerome Mays found CHantz Stevens for a 3-yard touchdown pass to set the final score at 26-13. It was Stevens first touchdown catch this season.
Wilton had more first downs than Benton 17-to-15 and more total yards, 302-to-248. Wilton had 131 yards of rushing with a per yard rush average of 3.4 yards. Benton corralled Wilton’s leading rusher, Collin McCrabb in the game. McCrabb had 100-yard games in each of the first three games and nearly 350 yards on the ground. In this game, McCrabb led Wilton with 36 yards on 19 carries.

Wildcats Get Much Needed Victory To Even Record at 2-2
By Ryan Stonebraker
Sports Editor
WAPELLO — The Durant football team picked up a much needed victory last Friday and a road win nonetheless. The Wildcats did not want to be going into district play this week with a 1-3 record. With last Friday’s win at Wapello, that didn’t happen as the Wildcats claimed a 19-6 win over the Indians to even their record at 2-2. The Wildcats lost two games to local rivals Wilton and Tipton in two of the three previous weeks, but saw them
Durant scored the game’s first points in the first quarter after a short 2-yard touchdown run by Bryce Lafrenz. A Lafrenz PAT gave the Wildcats an early 7-0 lead and gave them a boost of confidence being on the road. That score held through the rest of the quarter and until halftime as neither team could find the endzone in the second quarter.
Durant extended their lead to 13-0 in the third quarter. Bryce Lafrenz connected with receiver Mason Compton for an 8-yard touchdown pass to give Durant a 13-0 lead.
Leading by two scores going to the fourth quarter, Durant was in good shape. Wapello didn’t quit though, scoring their only points of the game in the early stages of the fourth quarter. Wapello quarterback Noah Holland found Brenton Ross for a 34-yard scoring pass to make the game a one-score game, at 13-6. The Wildcats would put the game out of reach however, scoring their third touchdown of the game later in the quarter on a Tristan Hughes 8-yard run to set the score at 19-6.
Bryce Lafrenz passed for 145 yards on 14-of-21 pass attempts and had one touchdown pass. Mason Compton caught eight passes for 106 yards and a touchdown. Marcus Engstler caught three passes and Zac Badtram two passes.
The Wildcats had their ground game going in the contest rushing for 241 yards with a 4.9-yard average. Tristan Hughes rushed for over 100 yards for the first time this season. Hughes rushed 29 times for 129 yards and a touchdown. He averaged 4.4 yards per carry. Lafrenz chipped in 74 yards on 13 carries and a touchdown. Marcus Engstler, Mason Compton and Zac Badtram all rushed for more than 10 yards in the game.
Defensively, Durant was led by four players with five tackles each. They were Drew DeLong, Hughes, Will Loss and Jake Willkomm.
Defensively, Durant shut down Wapello running back Ricky Pforts. Pforts, a very good running back, entered the game with just over 500 yards on the ground and what will likely be a 1,000-yard season. The Wildcats, held Pforts to 17 yards on ten carries, his lowest output this season through four games. Noah Holland passed for 102 yards on 11 completions. Brenton Ross caught a team high three passes for 61 yards and a touchdown. Defensively, Wapello was led by Ricky Price with 19 stops and Bryant Lanz with 12.
Through four non-district games, quarterback Bryce Lafrenz is on pace to top 1,000 passing yards for the second straight season. Lafrenz will enter district play with 754 passing yards on 54-of-98 attempts with 6 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. He also has rushed for 146 yards and four touchdowns.
Receiver Mason Compton leads class A in receiving yards with 482. He has 28 receptions and 5 touchdowns and will challenge his career highs in all three totals. Running back Tristan Hughes leads Durant in rushing with 272 yards and 3 touchdowns and averages 4.1 yards per carry.
Defensively, Durant’s leading tackler after the non-district schedule is Hughes with 43 stops including 28 solo tackles. Zac Badtram had 45 tackles, Marcus Engstler 25 and Cameron Ruggiero 24. Three Wildcats have interceptions in Drew DeLong, Jake Willkomm and Marcus Engstler.
The Wildcats will travel to Belle Plaine this week to begin district play. The Plainsmen are 3-1 and have only lost their season opener to Grundy Center at home. Belle Plaine has won three straight, two at home with a 62-0 win over North Mahaska and a 46-8 win over Lisbon. Belle Plaine won at Grand View Christian 53-6 last Friday.
Quarterback Garrett Straight has passed for 218 yards on 16 completions with two touchdowns and an interception. Trevin Straight is his top receiver with 10 receptions for 144 yards. Belle Plaine makes their living on the ground and as a team they have rushed for 1,151 yards in four games. Trevin Straight is the top rusher with 485 yards, 9 touchdowns and a 7.2-yard average. Luke DeMeulenaere has 261 yards and 5 touchdowns and a 6.1-yard average. Two others have over 140 yards rushing.
Defensively, Belle Plaine’s leading tacklers are Ethan Gates with 47, Dylan Frey with 28 and Garrett Straight with 26. Defensive back Jaxon Kressley has four interceptions for 139 return yards and two touchdowns.

WAPELLO — The Durant football team picked up a much needed victory last Friday and a road win nonetheless. The Wildcats did not want to be going into district play this week with a 1-3 record. With last Friday’s win at Wapello, that didn’t happen as the Wildcats claimed a 19-6 win over the Indians to even their record at 2-2. The Wildcats lost two games to local rivals Wilton and Tipton in two of the three previous weeks, but saw them
Durant scored the game’s first points in the first quarter after a short 2-yard touchdown run by Bryce Lafrenz. A Lafrenz PAT gave the Wildcats an early 7-0 lead and gave them a boost of confidence being on the road. That score held through the rest of the quarter and until halftime as neither team could find the endzone in the second quarter.
Durant extended their lead to 13-0 in the third quarter. Bryce Lafrenz connected with receiver Mason Compton for an 8-yard touchdown pass to give Durant a 13-0 lead.
Leading by two scores going to the fourth quarter, Durant was in good shape. Wapello didn’t quit though, scoring their only points of the game in the early stages of the fourth quarter. Wapello quarterback Noah Holland found Brenton Ross for a 34-yard scoring pass to make the game a one-score game, at 13-6. The Wildcats would put the game out of reach however, scoring their third touchdown of the game later in the quarter on a Tristan Hughes 8-yard run to set the score at 19-6.
Bryce Lafrenz passed for 145 yards on 14-of-21 pass attempts and had one touchdown pass. Mason Compton caught eight passes for 106 yards and a touchdown. Marcus Engstler caught three passes and Zac Badtram two passes.
The Wildcats had their ground game going in the contest rushing for 241 yards with a 4.9-yard average. Tristan Hughes rushed for over 100 yards for the first time this season. Hughes rushed 29 times for 129 yards and a touchdown. He averaged 4.4 yards per carry. Lafrenz chipped in 74 yards on 13 carries and a touchdown. Marcus Engstler, Mason Compton and Zac Badtram all rushed for more than 10 yards in the game.
Defensively, Durant was led by four players with five tackles each. They were Drew DeLong, Hughes, Will Loss and Jake Willkomm.
Defensively, Durant shut down Wapello running back Ricky Pforts. Pforts, a very good running back, entered the game with just over 500 yards on the ground and what will likely be a 1,000-yard season. The Wildcats, held Pforts to 17 yards on ten carries, his lowest output this season through four games. Noah Holland passed for 102 yards on 11 completions. Brenton Ross caught a team high three passes for 61 yards and a touchdown. Defensively, Wapello was led by Ricky Price with 19 stops and Bryant Lanz with 12.
Through four non-district games, quarterback Bryce Lafrenz is on pace to top 1,000 passing yards for the second straight season. Lafrenz will enter district play with 754 passing yards on 54-of-98 attempts with 6 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. He also has rushed for 146 yards and four touchdowns.
Receiver Mason Compton leads class A in receiving yards with 482. He has 28 receptions and 5 touchdowns and will challenge his career highs in all three totals. Running back Tristan Hughes leads Durant in rushing with 272 yards and 3 touchdowns and averages 4.1 yards per carry.
Defensively, Durant’s leading tackler after the non-district schedule is Hughes with 43 stops including 28 solo tackles. Zac Badtram had 45 tackles, Marcus Engstler 25 and Cameron Ruggiero 24. Three Wildcats have interceptions in Drew DeLong, Jake Willkomm and Marcus Engstler.
The Wildcats will travel to Belle Plaine this week to begin district play. The Plainsmen are 3-1 and have only lost their season opener to Grundy Center at home. Belle Plaine has won three straight, two at home with a 62-0 win over North Mahaska and a 46-8 win over Lisbon. Belle Plaine won at Grand View Christian 53-6 last Friday.
Quarterback Garrett Straight has passed for 218 yards on 16 completions with two touchdowns and an interception. Trevin Straight is his top receiver with 10 receptions for 144 yards. Belle Plaine makes their living on the ground and as a team they have rushed for 1,151 yards in four games. Trevin Straight is the top rusher with 485 yards, 9 touchdowns and a 7.2-yard average. Luke DeMeulenaere has 261 yards and 5 touchdowns and a 6.1-yard average. Two others have over 140 yards rushing.
Defensively, Belle Plaine’s leading tacklers are Ethan Gates with 47, Dylan Frey with 28 and Garrett Straight with 26. Defensive back Jaxon Kressley has four interceptions for 139 return yards and two touchdowns.

Tigers Sweep 3A No. 7 Comets At Home
By Ryan Stonebraker
Sports Editor
WEST LIBERTY — The Tipton volleyball team captured a big win in their quest to win the River Valley Conference regular season title last week. The Tigers claimed a 3-0 sweep over class 3A No. 7 West Liberty at West Liberty on Thursday, September 14. The Tigers continue to hold a high state ranking, No. 2, and created a matchup that the conference took note of. The Tigers became the first RVC school to 4 wins, and kept their unbeaten record in conference play in tact at 4-0. The Tigers will face another stiff test Tuesday when class 2A No. 14 Wilton comes to town. The Beavers are 3-0 in the RVC and 20-1 overall, the only RVC team with more than 17 match victories to date.
The victory was the third straight over the Comets in the regular season. Tipton beat the Comets, 3-1 at West Liberty in 2016 and won again last season at home, 3-0.
The Tigers had 86 attacks in the match with only nine hit errors. Tipton had 35 kills and a kill efficiency of .302 in the match. Sommer Daniel had 15 kills and had support from three other teammates with five or more kills. Blake Ehler had 6 kills while Amanda Smith and Jamie Kofron each had five.
The Tigers had one of their best night’s blocking in the match with 14 blocks as a team. Ehler and Chapman were locked in at the net with Ehler leading Tipton with 5 blocks and Chapman right behind with 4. Add in Jamie Kofron’s 3 along with one each from Daniel and Smith and the Tigers gave the Comets trouble all night.
Tipton missed on some serves, but went 64-for-74 with 7 aces in the match. Ehler was 14-for-15 with an ace while Laken Hermiston was 13-for-14 and Jamie Kofron was 13-for-13 with 2 aces. Smith and Daniel led in assists again with Smith getting 16 and Daniel getting 13. Four Tigers had double digit dig totals led by Daniel and Ehler with 12 each. Laken Hermiston had 11 and Smith had 10.
The Comets dropped their second match in a row with the loss. The Comets lost 3-1 to Wilton two days earlier. As a result the Comets fell in the 3A rankings while Wilton entered the 2A rankings.
The Comets had 21 kills from 62 attacks. Macy Daufeldt had 9 kills and Hallie Mueller 7. The Comets served 49-for-54 with two aces. Morgan Petersen led, going 11-for-11. Peterson also led in assists with 19 while Macy Akers led in digs with 14.

From the Cheap Seats: Now the Real Work Starts
By Ryan Stonebraker
Sports Editor
Each week, you the reader, get to see my efforts and hard work in putting together this sports section. Upwards of 15-20 hours each week of writing, editing, and making contacts with coaches are in your hands as you read this sentence. It’s hard to balance it sometimes and I consider it hard work. Add the many hours or traveling and attending events each week and the even harder work of being a dad, husband and citizen of Tipton, and sometimes I need a break from the grind. I thought about that Friday night after Tipton’s 56-13 loss to state ranked West Branch.
When I make mistakes in the paper, it stings. My hard work doesn’t get a pay off. Likewise, the Tigers hard work in getting ready for last week’s game didn’t have a pay off.
Last week, Tiger fans and yes, even some media members in Eastern Iowa, allowed themselves to dream a little last week of a Tipton upset of West Branch, postponing victory No. 300 for longtime West Branch football coach Butch Pedersen. That dream died in the second quarter when the Bears put up 20 points after Tipton’s first touchdown, an 88-yard pass from Peyton Elijah to Frank Bierman. The Tigers worked hard last week, like the three weeks before, like the work put in during the preseason.
The Tigers faced tough odds of getting victory four in four games to start the 2018 season. Hats off to the Bears, they have a fine team, and regardless of who you were cheering for, you saw history. I doubt any of us will ever see a coach like Butch Pedersen again, one that stays at the same school for his whole career, let alone get a chance to collect win No. 300.
I would submit that the grind for the Tigers is just beginning this week. The hard work begins now in week 5. Don’t get me wrong, the Tigers have worked extremely hard to get to 3-1 this season and they should be proud of what they have done as should fans. It’s been since the 2012 season that Tipton started 3-0 in a season. It’s been since 2015 that the Tigers have reached the playoffs. That should be the focus now, not would have, should have, could have about a myriad of things about last week’s game.
As district play begins this week, the Tigers welcome Camanche to town in the THS homecoming game. The Tigers will have special recognition and a tip of the cap to past football glory this week, welcoming back stars from the past. Can this year’s team capture their own glory this season? Time will tell.
Tipton comes into Friday’s game the only team in the district with a 3-1 record. Camanche and Louisa-Muscatine are 2-2 with three others - Mount Vernon, West Liberty, and West Burlington at 1-3. The Tigers are No. 12 in the latest RPI standings released by the Iowa High School Athletic Association. The 2018 playoff structure is such that district winners automatically qualify for the playoffs from the nine districts in class 2A. That leaves seven spots open for the next best teams in the RPI standings. In theory, the top-16 teams would be playoff qualifiers. That has yet to be played out as this is the first time this structure is being used to determine the playoffs.
The truth is that the West Branch loss hurts. I would say though that it’s not a four-game season the hard work that paid off to get this far with a 3-1 record can still pay off for THS with more hard work. It can lead them to the playoffs.
The Tigers are second among district 5 teams in rushing yards (1,192) by 1-yard over Louisa-Muscatine and average 5.8 yards per carry. They are tied for second in the district with most points scored offensively with 107. The Tigers have given up 105 points on defense, however, and I stress this, if you take away the 56 points scored on them from West Branch, Tipton has given up 69 points in three games. That would be 23 points average, or three touchdowns, given up in three games. That falls in line with the rest of the district 5 teams.
The same can be said about any of the other three football teams in our coverage area too. Wilton is in a similar position record wise as Tipton at 3-1 and are coming off of a close 26-13 loss to class 2A No. 4 ranked Benton last week. The Beavers have their likely two toughest district games in the next two weeks when they host Sigourney-Keota this week and go to Mediapolis next week. North Cedar picked up their first win last week, doubling their point total in their first three games combined with a 53-point outburst of points in their win. The Knights are in West Branch district and will be able to take that boost into this week. Then, Durant, evened their record at 2-2 and play in the toughest class A district where five of the six teams are 3-1 or better heading to district play.
I don’t know about you, but I enjoy working hard and seeing the results of that hard work. The grind is what makes it great. I know our football teams do too or from my spot on the sidelines or on the phone talking with coaches, they do too. Let’s join together in witnessing hard work on display. It will be great.
Yes, the Tigers run the football. Too much some say. So what? It makes my job challenging of finding the football when I take photos, but I’m used to that by now as head coach Joe Zeutenhorst’s predecessor, Josh Bahr had a spinner back offense. I enjoy that challenge, and it keeps me engaged in the game more.
Yes, the Tigers are probably the best conditioned team I have seen in a few seasons that should be able to hang physically with any team they play. So what? Can they carry what I have seen into district play? Time will tell.
Pedersen claims history, Bears claim victory, 56-13
By Ryan Stonebraker

WEST BRANCH — Usually high school football teams have one foe across the line of scrimmage each Friday. Last Friday, the Tipton football team had two. Across from them was the state ranked Bears, as well as history in the making. The Bears entered the football game 3-0 and ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press class 1A poll and No. 2 in the Radio Iowa poll. The Bears scored 30 or more points in each of their first four games. The Tigers were 3-0 for the first time since 2012 and looking to shock the world with a historic upset.
History was in the making for one team as West Branch took down the unbeaten Tigers, 56-13 in the last non-district game for both teams.
History was in the making for one team as West Branch took down the unbeaten Tigers, 56-13 in the last non-district game for both teams.
History was also made by West Branch football coach Butch Pedersen. Pedersen sat at 299 career wins and all that standed in his way of becoming the 13th Iowa High School Football coach in history to reach 300 career wins, was the Tigers. The win gave Pedersen the milestone victory, his first milestone victory at home. Pedersen’s first win as a head coach was against Tipton in 1983. Pedersen also became only the 5th Iowa High School football coach to all of those wins at the same school.
The Tigers finished with 14 first downs and 300 total yards in the game. Tipton had 97 passing yards in the game, a season high to date and 203 rushing yards in the game, a season low to date.

Payten Elijah had 91 yards passing and was 2-for-2 with an exciting 88-yard scoring play to Frank Bierman. Blake Wilkins connected on one of his five attempts for six yards. For the first time this season, Tipton did not have a running back gain over 100 yards rushing. Through the first three games, the Tigers have had the advantage on the ground. Logan Stolte rushed for 89 yards on 15 carries while Connor Hermiston had 44 yards on seven carries. Elijah rushed for 21 yards and three others rushed for between 10 to 20 yards in the game Bierman, Austin Lenz and Lake Anderson all had a reception.
Defensively, Tipton’s top tackler was John Crowley with 6, Bierman had 5, and Chance Koch, Stolte and Nile Schuett each had four.
West Branch grabbed a 14-0 lead after the first quarter. A 57-yard pass from Beau Cornwell to Thomas Gould on the Bears first play of their first possession set the tone for the game. A Tanner Lukavsky 2-yard run later in the quarter, gave West Branch a 14-0 lead after one quarter.
Tipton tried to keep in the game, and scored early in the second quarter. A halfback pass from Peyton Elijah to Frank Bierman went for 88 yards and a touchdown. On the play, Bierman had to break many tackles to scoot away from the defense to find the endzone.
The Tipton score was met with 20 unanswered points by West Branch, who took control of the football game by halftime, in taking a 34-6 lead. A Tanner Lukavsky run, and two Cornwell touchdown passes one each to Lukavsky and Trey Eagle accounted for the points.
West Branch piled on the points in the third quarter, forcing a running mercy-rule clock for the rest of the game. The Bears two scores put them ahead 48-6 after the third quarter. Lukavsky scored his third rushing touchdown with a 40-yard scamper and a 52-yard punt return by Brett Schiele accounted for the points.
Tipton finally added points in the fourth quarter when Blake Wilkins was able to run the football in from seven yards out to set the score at 48-13. Late in the game, Wyatt Hamby scored for West Branch on a 15-yard touchdown run.
West Branch had 435 yards of total offense from 43 plays and had 19 first downs in the game. Beau Cornwell passed for 239 yards and three touchdowns on 11-of-18 attempts. Through four games, Cornwell has passed for 851 yards on 54-of-80 attempts with 10 touchdowns and no interceptions.

SCARBROUGH'S TAKE: College Fans, Beware The Man in the Bottle

Arthur Castle needed help. His antique business was floundering near financial disaster and he needed a miracle. He turned to a poor elderly woman and an old wine bottle.
Few will remember Arthur Castle, the main character in Episode 38 of The Twilight Zone, which first aired on my birthday in 1960. The show’s title … The Man in the Bottle.
There was a genie in the bottle that Arthur got from the old lady. The spirit inside warned that wishes have consequences. But, the struggling businessman so badly wanted riches (he asked for a million dollars) and power (he asked to be the leader of a powerful country where he could not be voted out of office).
So, Arthur got his wish. He was transformed into German dictator Adolph Hitler in the final days of World War II, hiding in his underground bunker with a vial of cyanide.
His wishes were granted, but the results were not at all what Arthur needed.
As college football scores came in on Saturday, Arthur Castle came to mind.
Syracuse 30, Florida State 7 … Fresno State 38, UCLA 14 … North Texas 44, Arkansas 17 … Troy 24, Nebraska 19 … Arizona 62, Southern Utah 31.
Arthur, did your genie somehow find its way to Tallahassee, Los Angeles, Fayetteville, Lincoln and Tuscon? Critical fans in all those places demanded instant improvement. But from the look of things so far, they may have gotten the ghost of Rod Serling instead.
After the 2017 season, those teams were all floundering.
Jimbo Fisher wasn’t run out of Tallassee, but if things had stayed the same, he might have been. The Seminoles started the season ranked No. 3, lost five Atlantic Coast Conference games including a 35-3 humiliation to Boston College, then had to ask Louisiana-Monroe to reschedule a cancelled game to even win six and qualify for a bowl.
When Fisher left for College Station, many ‘Noles fans breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Willie Taggert, first-year head coach at Oregon who grew up in Bradenton, Fla., as a Florida State fan.
UCLA was beaten by Memphis, lost by more than 20 points each to Washington, Utah and Stanford, and lost for the third consecutive time to cross-town rival USC. After their bowl loss, the Bruins finished 6-7. Head coach Jim Mora was fired in November, replaced by Chip Kelley, veteran head coach from Oregon, the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers.
Bret Bielema had never been a great fit at Arkansas and Razorback fans were fed up. After giving up 48 to South Carolina and Missouri, 50 to Texas A&M and 52 to Auburn, the Hog Call went out to Chad Morris, who had just completed his third season at SMU … with a 14-22 overall record.
In Lincoln, where national championships were the norm 20 years ago, Mike Riley was shown the door after a 4-8 record. The Cornhuskers turned to Scott Frost, their sixth head coach in those two decades. As the ‘Huskers’ quarterback, Frost led Nebraska to the 1997 national championship, then 20 years later as the head coach, he led UCF to another “national championship.”
And in Tuscon, the Wildcats limped to another five-loss season, then lost to Purdue in the Foster Farms Bowl. So, Arizona fired Rich Rodriquez after a six-year Pac-12 record of 24-30 … and hired Kevin Sumlin, who had just been fired by Texas A&M a few weeks earlier.
All five programs changed coaches looking for a quick fix.
And, they all have something else in common … the results.
During their long history, that quintet of teams has a combined 3,324 wins.
This year, they have three.
Florida State … Lost by 21 at home to Virginia Tech and was massacred by Syracuse, 30-7. In between, outplayed at home by FCS Samford, only taking the lead in the closing minutes. In 90 minutes of football so far, the Seminoles have had the lead for just 3:49.
UCLA … Blew a 10-point lead at home in a loss to the Cincinnati Bearcats, blown out by Oklahoma giving up 49 points. Even worse, blitzed by Fresno State, 38-14, never having the lead, again at home.
Arkansas … Defeated winless Eastern Illinois in the season opener, scoring 55 points. (Since then, Indiana State also scored 55 on the Panthers, and Illinois State scored 48). Then, the Hogs were outscored 25-0 down the stretch by winless Colorado State in a 34-27 loss. It got worse, if that’s possible, on Saturday, as they were steamrolled by North Texas of C-USA, 44-17 at home, trailing at one point by 34.
Nebraska … Lost to Colorado at home on a last-minute touchdown pass, before losing on Saturday to Troy of the Sun Belt Conference. The Cornhuskers never had the lead against the Trojans and lost their sixth consecutive home game, as well as its sixth game in row overall. Think about that … Nebraska has lost six straight. Thank goodness for the thunderstorm that caused cancellation of the season opener against Akron (the Zips won at Northwestern on Saturday) or that probably would be seven in a row.
Arizona … Dynamic quarterback Khalil Tate, led by offensive guru Sumlin, was going to make the Wildcats a contender. The first game was an upset loss at home to Brigham Young. In the second game, a 45-18 loss, Arizona trailed 38-0 before finally scoring against Houston, another place where Sumlin coached. (The Cougars then gave up 63 in a loss to Texas Tech on Saturday.) The Wildcats finally did win one, 62-31, over winless Southern Utah. The Thunderbirds of the FCS Big Sky Conference had already lost at home to North Alabama and gave up 48 to Oregon State.
The lesson to be learned from all of this?
Serling probably said it best at the end of Episode 38:
“A word to the wise … to the curio seekers, to the antique buffs, to everyone who would try to coax out a miracle from unlikely places, check that bottle you’re taking back for a two-cent deposit. The genie you save might be your own.”
Serling might have added disgruntled, critical football fan bases to the list of those being warned.
Be careful if you’re approached by a poor elderly woman and beware of the man in a bottle.
You might get what you wish for.
Just ask Arthur Castle.
