Fairbanks needs to win this game. It will be hard, especially since it's the third game on the road for them in a row (they'll have been gone from Alaska for three weeks once this game starts). They haven't been able to add but two players to the team either so that has hurt as well, especially since they've lost some to injuries and other means. No excuses though, this is as big a game as it gets for the franchise and the team has to be totally focused and motivated (adrenaline shots wouldn't hurt).
Can't wait for it, my daughter and I are driving up to see this one.

Other than that graphic mess up at the end it wasn't a bad effort. I thought about doing something like this every week, but just didn't have the time (and definitely don't have the graphic power he had). I actually do have a green screen for a backdrop though so maybe next year I can see about doing something. I don't want to film myself though (would scare everyone away), so I need a model or a hot chick to read a script (but I don't have funds to pay anyone either...so there you go).

I do agree that it's not a bad wrap up, a lot better then the eight man football internet broadcast that happens every Thursday from the guy that posted in the introduce yourself section.
The sad thing about the Football Gameplan guy is that they do a GOTW for the IFL but no other games and their website is not up to date at all and the up to date videos are only via youtube. AFL gets every game summarized and the IFL gets one, in all fairness for all the leagues they do, it would be nearly impossible to do a quality product even half as good as they do now for all games played in a week for all of our little leagues.
I just hope it's popular enough to continue.

Agreed.
I tried to listen to the Eight Man Football guy and could only last 5 minutes before I had to turn it off. It seemed to be mostly arena anyway.
The Football Gameplan guy's coverage is pretty basic, just a soundbite really. He looks at a few stats and that's about it. You can tell by his comments he doesn't really follow the league closely. He even had one in there on an APFL game that you can tell by his comments he's really not following the league. Anyone can get on there and make the simple predictions he's making by glancing at a few recaps and stats, but to get a really good show it needs more than a soundbite like that.
Like I said, my idea was to get a hot girl (sex sells) to do the announcing. It's a nice plan, but I definitely can't pay anyone and no one will want to do it for free. I have the content, music, green screen, etc, just need time and an announcer.
Maybe I'll just get my daughter to do it next year (the cute factor might work, let's face it, no one takes this level seriously anyway), like a class project or something. Girls like to sing so I've been trying to get her to do some youtube videos telling her that's how Justin Bieber got discovered, but she's too shy. If I get her started with this, maybe she'll get comfortable enough to put singing vid's up.

Coming into this game Fairbanks (8-4) is ranked #8 and Tri-Cities (8-3) is ranked #4.
These teams have split the series so far this year with both teams winning at home and this is the rubber match with the winner most likely winning the division and in prime position for a first round bye.
Who will take it?
So far this game is leading in the Game of the Week voting.

I could definitely see Fairbanks being the sacrificial lamb to Sioux Falls in the league championship game.
