Just like I said on the "All you need to know about Capital" forum....Union is the real deal and my Cougs didn't play as well as I'd like and Union is the team that will take advantage of that. We needed a near-perfect game to have a shot and that clearly wasn't the case. Union should be right back to the Dome. Best of luck to the Titans. Just returned home from the Union – Capital game.

I'll likely get lost snopping around town looking for a bite to eat. I'll probably get to I-5 from the Olympia exit around 3:15-3:30, and it's probably a 2-hr commute down at that point. I will hope the traffic jame\s staffic stays up in Pierce County. I'm happy we don't have to go down any further to Camas because my first look at the WIAA brackets had the game at Doc Harris stadium, for some reason. I'll be in my Capital hat (red hat with a white C on it) and yellow sweater (or shirt if it's not raining.....lol at that thought) if anybody dares hunt me down. Bryan L..... I'll try and get teasers on to Kent Valley Sports when I get home late after the game, but because of that, they're not coming until Saturday. Here's to an exciting game! Hope everybody is ready and injury free. I’ll either get my own food or get some at the game. I’ll likely get lost snopping around town looking for a bite to eat.

If you are hungry, I recommend Patrick's Hawaiian Cafe at 123rd and Mill Plain. If you just want to grab a sandwich, try Seize the Bagel in the 13300 block of Mill Plain. Go North (right turn) on 136th Avenue to E.18th Street. You should see the stadium lights. You can access the parking (directly behind the Middle School) from E.18th Street or if you just stay on 136th. Get there a little early because there will be a great playoff atmosphere. Drive safely !! SkyR#1fanCapCoug – I-5 south to I-205….take Mill Plain exit and go East…..there is a Starbucks with a drive-thru about 6 blocks off the freeway.

Usually, I'm not happy with moral victories, but anything less than a blowout would mean I could have a ride home frustration free, unless I-5 traffic picks up when I get on the highway :). A win in Union would probably be the 2nd biggest true road win I've ever seen (2nd to our win in 2002 over a then-undefeated Bothell at Pop Keeney in the 2nd round of the 4A playoffs....if you've ever been to Pop Keeney to see a Bothell game....you'll know why I ranked this as Capital's biggest true road win in the playoffs.)

(not talking about turn) The parking is good just click on the Union page and the image that says where is McKenzie stadium. follow the directions and you are set. When you get in the parking lot, take a left and go down the hill to the side of the stadium. The lower (West) entrance is where you want to be, the road side is to your left from there. Enjoy the game. Hopefully it is a frustrating ride home, but you get a lot of good pictures! McKenzie is the nicest stadium down here.

I've been down there once, but it was 6 years ago and I was still in high school back then. I am a photographer from Kent Valley Sports (www.kentvalleysports.org) so I do plan on showing up to the game with my camera in hand roaming the Capital sideline...wearing my red and yellow, taking pictures of the game, and eventually post them up online.

I saw them last year in the Tacoma Dome throttle a traditionally good Lakes team and their fans (especially band) were extremely loud. Moepa... Capital won 35-7 against Olympic, Union won 56-10....I wouldn't say by the same. I also give Union the edge at home. I hope my Cougs can make it a competitive game, we should definetly bring more of a fight than Union.

Capital is a good team, no question. It will be a very competitive game this week. I give Union the edge, especially being @ home. Go U! 30 td’s …hmmm…think I would have heard of him.
