Railers keep rollin'

By Jeff Mayfield

[JAN. 20, 2003]  If you thought we were kiddin' the last couple of weeks when it comes to how good the Lincoln Railers are playing, then you obviously didn't see the Lincoln-Pekin game on Saturday. Lincoln was up 30-4 at half and 46-9 after three quarters. Now that's dominance! Everyone seems to be playing well for Lincoln right now… you just hope that they don't peak too early. That's usually not a problem for Alexander-coached teams. This week proves to be another kind of test entirely, as Lincoln has a five- or six-game week!

SUPER matchup

Well, it's going to be the Oakland Raiders against that wild man, Jon Gruden's, Tampa Bay Buccaneers! But, who will win? Since Tampa went into a hostile environment and did the unthinkable, they must have the edge in San Diego. The Raiders are old and could really have used the old format of two weeks off before the Big game. Both games seemed to be well-officiated.

Random thoughts

Local and area colleges hoped to be better than their current records at this point, but there's still time to ready for the postseason.

Making my annual trip to watch our local junior high teams play... I saw Carroll Catholic's teams earlier, and they really performed well. LJHS had been up and down a little, but we saw both of their teams this week in two pretty impressive wins.

Is it just me or are any other Cardinal fans worried about how much Houston and Chicago have improved over the winter?

The Birds are pinning their hopes on everyone coming back healthy. When you've been in the playoffs so many times, do you really worry if they miss a year? That whole concept really concerns us, the way sports are run as a business rather than trying to win championships every year!

Equal opportunity? There's been a lot of talk about that when it comes to hirings in the world of sports. We don't know about you, but I'd hire the person who gives us the best chance to win… period! All the hype, discussions, crossfires, etc. are not going to change the bottom line for pro franchises and many college programs… winning!

"FANdamonium"

…Right here tonight on the LDN's live link, CITV Channel 5 and FIX 96.3 FM at 6 p.m.! Greg Taylor joins us back in the studio after a two-week hiatus. We also hope to be joined by the Lincoln Elks head golf professional, Mr. Adam Walsh. So, all of you golfers, duffers and hackers, get your off-season golf questions ready and give us a call tonight at 735-3306. We hope to have some other surprises for you as well!

Have a great week, everybody!

[Jeff Mayfield]
