Do you believe in karmic justice? I’m not sure if I do, but the irony of the upcoming AFC championship game cannot be ignored.

Over three weeks ago, the Indianapolis Colts sent their starters to the bench after gaining the upper hand against the New York Jets.  They’d proven what they needed to and couldn’t change their playoff seeding, so they opted to avoid possible injuries to their best players. 

On the surface this was a wise decision; we all know that the Super Bowl is the ultimate goal.  Conventional wisdom and history, though, reminded us that the Colts tend to falter given extra rest and a bye week.

That ghost was laid to rest as the Colts handled the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday in the second round. They looked rested and focused. In this weekend’s rematch with the Jets, they will face a second team with a formidable defense and a vanilla offense. Strong run game, number one defense, a quarterback who manages the game and attitude that never quits. Does this ring a bell?

The 2001 Baltimore Ravens; Super Bowl Champions.

Three Overtimes

We were down 13 heading into the fourth quarter and battled back to tie it at the end of regulation. It took three overtimes to decide the winner, with a packed house at their feet.
Failed free throws, (1 for 7 in overtime), proved too much to overcome. Yreka scored on a put back and was fouled to go up three with .38 seconds left. We missed a layup and were forced to foul.  Yreka converted one of two to take the lead by four in the waning seconds.
Lassen Scoring
> Jordan Vial – 11 points
> Brandon Whitestone – 10 points
> Andy Pustejovsky – 10 points
> Jarred Bertotti – 8 points
> JP Faulkner – 6 points
> Torin Thompson – 6 points
> Jacob Estes – 5 points
> David Wagner – 2 points
