Live Blog: Cloumbus vs. Dallas

Welcome LIVE to 50 Yards' Columbus Destroyers-Dallas Desperados blog.

The game is starting in less than 20 minutes, so here's some quick previews:

• Here is Calvin Watkins' preview for the Dallas Morning News, including key matchups.
• And Watkins' Desperados' notebook.
• And the game notes from the Destroyers.

The Desperados choked in the playoffs last season. I don't care if the team has won its last 12 home games, we all know anything is possible in the playoffs. It's the old cliche - throw the records out the window because its the postseason.

Look at the Destroyers - the team played its first playoff game last week and upset the Tampa Bay Storm on its own turf.

So if Matt Nagy has his game on again, we could see Columbus playing in Arena Bowl XXI.

More to come...
