Memo to Widdle Danni Snyder:&#160 Games against us at home aren’t quite as easy when we actually give a shit about the outcome, are they?&#160

FW Arlington Heights 17, Arlington Seguin 23

UBuffalo 43, at Akron 40 (4OT)

Nebraska 56, at Kansas State 28

Dallas 14, at Warshington Foreskins 10

So help me Cthulu, it may be time to mothball the Arlington Heights football program.&#160 When you can’t even beat a team with a losing record, fer gawdsakes, do you even need to be playing the game?

From the writeup on DFW Varsity over at the Startlegram:

Arlington Seguin drove to a touchdown on its first drive of the second half, and it proved to be enough for a 23-17 victory against Fort Worth Arlington Heights in a 4A Division I bidistrict playoff game Thursday night at Brewer. Jevin Colbert’s 11-yard touchdown catch gave the Cougars a 23-14 lead with 5:51 left in the third quarter, and although Heights got a 35-yard field goal from Bailey Shelton on its next drive, neither team scored again. Heights had the ball two more times but punted from its 20 and was stopped on downs at the Seguin 24 with 3:27 left in the game.

Robert Owoyele rushed for 115 yards, and Earlon Neal returned an interception 25 yards for a touchdown for Seguin (5-6), which will meet the Denton Guyer/Saginaw Boswell winner in an area game next Friday night at Dragon Stadium in Southlake. Heights’ season ended at 7-4.

Despite the 7-4 record, there’s now a culture of losing in the big games over in west Fort Worth, and it needs to change in a hurry.&#160 Simply getting to the playoffs can no longer be enough for these guys.&#160 More must be required to maintain any pride in the program.

…

Such is the program pride that Heights’ last great quarterback, Turner Gill, is building at UBuffalo.

Unable to stop the Zips from tying the game in the final minute, the Bulls could have just counted a moral road victory and folded.

But not these guys.&#160 A.J. Principe’s 40-yard field goal in the fourth overtime following an Akron fumble sealed the game for UBuff.

Starks had yet another big night getting 151 yards on 37 carries.&#160 Brandon Thermilus added 59 yards on the ground, and Drew Willy was 27-39-252.

…

The pride is coming back at Nebraska.&#160 Bo Pelini’s squad followed the thrashing of Rock Chalk Jayhawk with a massive beatdown of K-State.&#160 Joey Ganz threw for 270 yards and two touchdowns on 16-25 and also ran for 95 yards and two more TDs.

…

Last time Dallas played the Foreskins, they lost by playing “excuse-me” football.

This game was anything but “excuse-me”.

After Warshington shredded the ‘Boys on their opening drive, the Dallas defense decided that enough was enough, manned up and took the fight back to the Muscatel & Limburger.

On the last drive with six minutes left and the score 14-10, all 90,000 in the stadium knew what was coming:&#160 a steady dose of Marion Barber.&#160 And the ‘Skins still&#160 couldn’t stop it.&#160 Dallas drove 65 yards to put the game away, most of it Barber runs.&#160 The kind of “we’re-gonna-kick-your-ass” football this team hasn’t played the last six weeks.

The kind it needs to play for the next six.

Romo wasn’t great in his return, but he took enough pressure off the running game to where it could produce like it needed to (114 yards for Barber).&#160 And on the first touchdown drive, there were key passes to Witten and Owens that took Dallas downfield.&#160 A far cry from either Johnson or Bollinger and a welcome change.

This week:&#160 3-1.&#160 Overall:&#160 49-15.

The PFW returns Friday, when we bid farewell to the SpatulaLine&#153.
