Pre-Game Thoughts

The Vipers face a vicious South Georgia Wildcats tonight to kick off the 2008 af2 season. South Georgia went 10-6 last season and 1-1 in the post season. It was the best season they have ever had. The Wildcats won both games against the Vipers but Travis Blanchard promises things will be different this season.

"We're focused on us," Coach Cokinos said. "We're trying to take care of ourselves and worry about what we're doing. We've got a lot of talented football players. Every guy on our 22-man roster can start. Now we've got to see how they play."

"We've already taken giant steps to change the culture around here," Cokinos said. "Now, we've got to have success on the field. We hope we can have a winning season and get to where they were before."

My prediction is Vipers 54, Wildcats 43. This looks to be an exciting game. There will be a post-game wrap-up tonight around midnight.
