 For only the second time in school history, the BSU football team is headed to post-season. The Beavers are headed to the mineral water bowl to take on Washburn University this weekend. The Beavers and Ichabod's have never played against each other before, and BSU is eager to get back to play after a three-week hiatus. It just seems like it's taken forever. I wish this game was about two weeks ago and get it rolling, but it's huge. When you're playing in December, that's where we kind of always talk about being able to play in these games, and certainly wish it would be the playoffs. I'm sure Washburn would be wishing it was a playoffs, but our kids have had a real good prep for the bowl. They understand how important it is, and we certainly dangle that carrot out there of tying the most wins in our inner-school history by getting a nine, and that's what we're shooting for. So they understand the importance, and they understood the importance of it throughout the course of the year. We want to take a step, and this is one step to getting us closer back to the playoffs, which we've been trying to get to.
