🥋 The Coach C Cat Daddy Report – Week 6: Separation Saturday 🥋
Written by Coach C – SemiPro GameDay
The weekend we've all been waiting for is here.
Week 5 was Stand On Business Saturday, and most of the true contenders did just that. Now, this Saturday, we have arrived at the point of no return.
Welcome to Separation Saturday, where the teams who are truly "like dat" will separate themselves from the pack and begin to solidify their playoff position. Who will stand up and claim what is rightfully theirs? Who will make the big mistake and wet the bed this week?
We shall find out!
Let's get to the games!!!
🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
🚨 Upset Alert‼️‼️‼️ 🚨
#3 St. Joe Bucks
at
#6 Missouri Cyclones
This game is a rematch from last season, when the Bucks demolished a shorthanded Clones team. A lot of folks are expecting the same result.
BUT...
This is not the same Clones team.
The Cyclones have lost only one home game in the last four years, and that was with last season's shorthanded squad. Most teams haven't even hit double digits against this defense, and I think they'll be playing with a full squad in this one. The difference could be the play at linebacker, where stars Turon Thomas and AJ Christy will be a major factor.
The rent's due!
I'm taking the Clones in a low-scoring slugfest at home, where they pull away late.
🔮 17-8 Cyclones
ECMO Eagles
at
#8 Kansas City Bulldogs
Some had this game circled as a potential Game of the Week during the offseason, and despite the circumstances, it should still be a great matchup if everything falls into place.
But reports for this one say the Birds will come light.
Yikes!
This one may get ugly.
I'm taking The Dawg Pound, and watch for Bulldog WRs Rondo Johnson and William Gowen to go crazy.
🔮 34-6 Bulldogs
#10 Kansas Diamondbacks
at
Oklahoma Hawks
This one still feels like it could be lopsided. The Diamondback defense should be able to handle business as long as they don't turn the ball over on offense.
I'm still proud of the Hawks, who are young and taking their lumps. But give it time. They are showing up and have a commitment to doing things the right way.
Even then, the D-Backs take this one to keep their playoff hopes alive.
🔮 28-6 Diamondbacks
#9 Wichita Skyhawks
at
Arkansas Warcats
I do not like this game for the Warcats at all. Not one bit.
They'll be facing a defensive unit that is among the best in the league, along with an offense led by QB Javonte Stewart and RB/LB Junie Jones that has juice at a lot of positions, especially at wide receiver.
Now, both teams could use some additional depth and could run out of gas late. But two-way star DL/OL Michael Spier and The Goons are going to be too much for a potentially shorthanded Warcats squad.
The Skyhawks take flight!
🔮 34-8 Skyhawks
#7 St. Louis Falcons
at
#1 Kansas City Panthers
Whew...
40-18.
When they first told me the score, I didn't believe it. I felt like comedian Mojo Brookzz.
IKYFL...
I cannot get that score out of my mind for a team that is so talented and an organization that I know has it together.
This game against the Panthers is a rematch of last year's Gateway Conference Championship and possibly the biggest game in Falcons history. The more you look at it, the bigger the mountain becomes.
Playing the #1 team in the league at the House of Horrors, aka The Jungle.
And you know what happens there.
Playing against the best defense in the league.
Playing against the best secondary in the league.
Playing against what may be the best offensive line in the league.
If the Falcons come out like they did a few weeks ago, hang it up. It will be tough to recover from this loss. But a win would do some amazing things for this team.
The key is Brycen Cropp and that running game. It's a must that he gets busy. Or even Darrin Daniels—give that man the football. The same goes for Malcom Johnson Jr.
And DeAndre Jones must be a factor.
But I just do not like the matchup in the trenches at all.
So with that said...
He say, she say, Kats 'bout to clinch The Gateway.
Panthers in Fo'!
🔮 24-14 Panthers
⭐️ CMFL National Game of the Week
"The Sooner State Showdown"
#4 Oklahoma Bears
at
#2 Tulsa Gators
Awww yes...
We have finally made it back to the big one, although both squads have taken much different paths to get here.
The undefeated Gators come in looking, once again, like the most talented team in the league. They are loaded at every position and have no real weaknesses.
That defensive line, led by The Godfather DeMarco Hubbard, Sir Henry Warner, Frankie Davis, and 2026 MVP candidate Lerenzo Fagan Jr., has terrorized every team they have faced so far, along with the rest of the SWAT Team Defense.
The Gator offense has a plug-and-play situation at quarterback with three legitimate threats, although I expect to see QB Kendall Holmes out there this Saturday.
If the Gators can rush for over 150 yards, limit turnovers, and simply avoid shooting themselves in the foot...
They should win this one by a possession.
Maybe more.
BUT NOT SO FAST, MY FRIEND!!!!
The Bears are looking like a more dangerous version of last year's championship team after that loss in St. Joe.
I don't think they're sleepwalking anymore.
They're coming for blood on every snap while getting back to having fun as a brotherhood.
The offensive line has done some mixing and matching, but it all starts with 2025 CMFL Lineman of the Year Paris Williams.
If the Bears come out with QB Devin White in this one, you know what's coming, and I think that would be the best way to negate the Gators' pass rush.
If they don't get too cute on offense and impose their will in the trenches—especially on defense behind star pass rusher Devin Colbert Sr., who is having an amazing year that isn't being talked about enough—the Bears should roll once again.
Interesting stat...
The series record is somewhere between 2-11 and 3-9 all-time in favor of The Bears. The Gators historically just do not beat this team.
And in the SPGD Era...
I have never seen the Gators beat the Bears.
So with that said...
GIMME MY COACH COX SHADES!!!
I'M TAKING THE UPSET!!!!
This is a prove-it game for the Gators, and we shall see.
I'm taking Da Bears.
🔮 24-21 Bears (OT)
