Why is Fondy going on the road in the 2nd round?

I've had that questioned posed to me more than one time since the Cardinals beat Madison LaFollette on Tuesday night in the playoff opener. Well, the WIAA has decided that if you win on the road in the first week of the playoff and you are playing a team how won a home, game you get the home game. So when unseeded Mukwonago knocked out #1 seed Janesville Parker on the road, they earn the home game for Saturday. To me this is very screwy. To me, if you are seeding the top four teams, the seeded team, or higher seeded team should always host. You should be rewarded for getting a seed, instead, you win, and now you hit the road. So basically, Fondy being the #4 seed had ZERO chance of having a home game in week two, because if Parker had won, they were the #1 seed and would host since both teams were seeded.

I've actually asked some people "In the know" about this..and most think its a stupid rule, but I guess they WIAA may look at it, as they want to spread the wealth a little, giving more teams a chance to earn money from concessions and such for their booster clubs.

There are some coaches because of this rule that told me that they would rather go on the road in the first round to give themselves a better shot at having a home game in round two. I look at that kinda like saving your ace pitcher in game 6 of the World Series, when you need to win to get to that 7th game. I would want the home field whenever I could get it, the sooner the better.

On another note...have you checked out the hair of most of the Fondy football team? In a show of team unity there are some very unique haircuts right now. Mohawks, reverse mohawks, stripes, checkers, diamonds, and some things I can't explain. I was at practice tonight and after practice, there were a few playings getting an updated cut. There's nothing like leaning your head over a garbage can, and letting a fellow teammate, take care of business on your dome!

Coach Koz, still has a full head of hair though! If you're a Fondy player reading this, you gotta get him on it to! I'm sure he'll look good on the sidelines and teaching history with a mohawk!

As always you can hear the Fondy game on News-Talk 1450 KFIZ on Saturday. The kickof is set for 3:30pm in Mukwonago. We'll be on the air right around 3pm when the Badger game coverage wraps up.
