Tickle pink which I believed turned into Strawberry Hill, if memory serves me correctly. Think I might have had a rant or two similar to this after that stuff. I know I believed I could take on Ali, glad he wasn't around to hear me. lol 

[heavyrevy1611]

%^*#!. GRRRRRRR!!!!!! AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!! THIS IS THE AUTHENTIC, OFFICIAL AND ONLY ME. Whoever this imposter is hacking me and doing this...Reveal and expose yourself coward!!! Stuff like this make me want to knock the strawman stuffing out of a phony clown like this!!! HA!Wow! How do punks like this pull off these "hacking" gigs anyhow?!?! Dude...you best run, duck and cover from the incoming doom you're trying to attract. You're barking up the wrong tree...I'm from Memphis and your game will not work on me. Smoke and mirrors don't phase a man like me! Come at me, wee man!!!! WAPPPOHHHHH!!!!!😡 You best sleep with one eye open, my queen. Grrrrrrr!!!!!!!

Anyway, now that I'm done with that. Let's talk some fusball

Possibly UC would get #2 seed, wouldn't they? Looking at rankings and games left, no 1A team will come out of districts #15 & #16, so it's just #13 & #14 teams to fill Quad, with two teams outta 13 (Dresden & Bruceton), four from 14 (UC, Humbolt, Lake Co, & S.Fulton). Dresden just has to beat the Mustangs and that would settle who #2. If not, I think it's gonna be Humbolt.

 

Hardest games left that have biggest ramifications on where they're seeded is Lake Co, who could be anywhere from #3 to #6, if my prognostications are right. (Don't bet on that though!). Dresden will be #2 or #3 imo, which will be bottom half of Quad anyways.

 

The way it works, the #1, 5, & 6 teams are on top, then #2, 3, & 4 teams on bottom of bracket, right? If that's so, looking at brackets, games left, & the possible seeding (@ http://football.tssaa.org/reports/regionalstandings.cfm ) it's in realm of possibilities that when dust settles UC & Lake Co. will be battling it out for a trip to the final four (making the safe assumption of UC winning it's games, and Cinderella assumption LC wins out until then). That'd be sumin! Also, lol at post below. HA!

Online, at sperPxaM (read backwards) the 2014 schedules (which has only first game listed so far) for Westview, Huntingdon, Dresden, Westwood all match with same info, Chargers vs Stangs in WK 1, Lions vs Longhorns in WK 0 at UTM, which I was motivated to find out after the guy at SaveALot was VERY certain Lions vs Chargers is no longer going to happen, which he said folk in Martin knew already and he discussed with several folk. He a tall (say 6'3", or more) young-looking black guy, fairly dark pigment (mgr i think.. whenever i in store i always see him working everywhere doing everything, hustling after it too) who is in his 40's (don't look it) with his playing days done at Tillman in KY. But our dresdenfootball dot com site has us playing Chargers on the countdown clock (but that site not updated very often, been over a year, preseason 2013 is last time that site had current info put on it). I hope I am made to look silly and moronic (which is EASY to do.. ha!) because I have overlooked or misread something plainly obvious online, but dude at store got me on this search.. he was staunch and adamant "knowing" for certain no more Dresden, and his source is "all the guys he talked to at Westview games" to quote him, because I asked. Man I hope it all wrong and I appear silly, because Chargers & Lions imo would be a great 1st game traditional rivalry for decades to come (provided Dresden keeps up its winning ways, which I believe it will!), always a big money maker, and only drawback, to me, is it hurting Chargers in 3A were the Lions to win or be close, which to me would be the only "logical" reason to drop game from a football standpoint. Hope all this hot air and useless talk.. but that info is online, and dude at store, with his sources all "know" the game not happening. (I rubbing my genie lamp and lucky rock wishing game still on.. for many more years to come!). And yes, Chargers definitely do need to work on not "chop blocking", film shows this habit they have, but it is ok with some fans, coaches, and players I guess no matter who it hurts. Simple truth for all to see, watch the films. But Lions still luv to play Chargers and prepares with practice drills for this blocking tactic Westview uses (Obion bad about it too.. they had 9 guys of theirs thrown out of game last year! They obvious about it, not as slick as others), so yeah, interesting you bring that up. Hope Chargers do find a better blocking technique, but knowing the past I sure our team will prepare themselves for the inevitable, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of our players get sick of it after awhile and retaliate in kind no matter what coaches say about not doing it, these players get emotional too and seek payback I sure. It's human nature to do that in such cases imo. And before anyond gets panties in a wad screaming, if able to, just watch the films... if you can be unbiased, honest, and objective, even against own team, you'll see who doing what as far as blocking goes.. which, hey, if we did drop this game my speculation is that may be reason, Lions tired of our guys being badly hurt, and to get it approved to break the schedule agreement all they have to do is have TSSAA look at tapes (which I have no idea of that being done, just using logical imagination of how/ why the game would be dropped by Dresden and the change approved by powers that be) . So, der it is, backdrop to this confusion of mine, and my response to the brought-up topic about blocking. Methinks it gonna be a great year no matter who we play! Voting for Chargers in WK 0 though! Let me share posting of NEW American football rules though...just imagine the physicality our lions go through every Friday night...

American football evolved from the sport of rugby football.[6] Rugby, like American football, is a sport where two competing teams vie for control of a ball, which can be kicked through a set of goalposts or run into the opponent's goal area to score points.[7]The first American football game was played on November 6, 1869 between Rutgers and Princeton. The game was played between two teams of 25 players each, used a round ball, and resembled a combination of rugby and soccer in its rules; the ball could not be picked up or carried, but it could be kicked or batted with the feet, hands, head or sides, with the ultimate goal of advancing it into the opponent's goal. Rutgers won the game 6-4.[8][9] Collegiate play continued for several years in which matches were played using the rules of the host school. Representatives of Yale, Columbia, Princeton and Rutgers met on October 19, 1873 to create a standard set of rules for all schools to adhere to. Teams were set at 20 players each, and fields of 400 by 250 feet (122 m × 76 m) were specified. Harvard abstained from the conference, as they favored a rugby-style game that allowed running with the ball.An 1875 Harvard-Yale game played under rugby-style rules was observed by two impressed Princeton athletes. These players introduced the sport to Princeton, a feat the Professional Football Researchers Association compared to "selling refrigerators to Eskimos."[9] Princeton, Harvard, Yale and Columbia then agreed to intercollegiate play using a form of rugby union rules with a modified scoring system.[10] These schools formed the Intercollegiate Football Association, although Yale did not join until 1879. Yale player Walter Camp, now regarded as the "Father of American Football," secured rule changes in 1880 that reduced the size of each team from 15 to 11 players and instituted the snap to replace the chaotic and inconsistent scrum. HA, I posted this in lieu of learning the game...which folks sometime forget! Let me continue with other tid bits...

The introduction of the snap resulted in unexpected consequences. Prior to the snap, the strategy had been to punt if a scrum resulted in bad field position. However, a group of Princeton players realized that, as the snap was uncontested, they now could hold the ball indefinitely to prevent their opponent from scoring. In 1881, both teams in a game between Yale-Princeton used this strategy to maintain their undefeated records. Each team held the ball, gaining no ground, for an entire half, resulting in a 0-0 tie. This "block game" proved extremely unpopular with the spectators and fans of both teams.[10]

 

A rule change was necessary to prevent this strategy from taking hold, and a reversion to the scrum was considered. However, Camp successfully proposed a rule in 1882 that limited each team to three downs, or tackles, to advance the ball five yards. Failure to advance the ball the required distance within those three downs would result in control of the ball being forfeited to the other team. This change effectively made American football a separate sport from rugby, and the resulting five-yard lines added to the field to measure distances made it resemble a gridiron in appearance. Other major rule changes included a reduction of the field size to 110 by 53.333 yards (100.584 m × 48.768 m), and the adoption of a scoring system that awarded four points for a touchdown, two for a safety and a goal following a touchdown, and five for a goal from field; additionally, tackling below the waist was legalized.[10]

 

Despite these new rules, football remained a violent sport. Dangerous mass-formations like the flying wedge resulted in serious injuries or even death.[12] A 1905 peak of 19 fatalities nationwide resulted in a threat by President Theodore Roosevelt to abolish the game unless major changes were made.[13] In response, sixty-two colleges and universities met in New York City to discuss rule changes on December 28, 1905, and these proceedings resulted in the formation of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the United States, later named the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).[14]

 

The legal forward pass was introduced in 1906 after its suggestion by John Heisman, although its impact was initially limited due to the restrictions placed on its use. Other rule changes introduced that year included the reduction of the time of play from 70 to 60 minutes and the increase of the distance required for a first down from 5–10 yards (4.6–9.1 m). To reduce infighting and dirty play between teams, the neutral zone was created along the width of the football.[15] Scoring was also adjusted: field goals were lowered to three points in 1909[11] and touchdowns were raised to six points in 1912.[16] The field was also reduced to 100 yards (91 m) long, but two 10-yard-long end zones were created, and teams were given four downs instead of three to advance the ball 10 yards (9.1 m).[17] The roughing-the-passer penalty was implemented in 1914, and eligible players were first allowed to catch the ball anywhere on the field in 1918.[18]

 

The professional era

 

William "Pudge" Heffelfinger, widely regarded as the first professional football player

The first instance of professional play in American football was on November 12, 1892, when William "Pudge" Heffelfinger was paid $500 to play a game for the Allegheny Athletic Association in a match against the Pittsburgh Athletic Club. This is the first recorded instance of a player being paid to participate in a game of American football, although many athletic clubs in the 1880s offered to help players attain employment, gave out trophies or watches that players would pawn for money, or paid double in expense money. Despite these extra benefits, the game had a strict sense of amateurism at the time, and direct payment to players was frowned upon, if not outright illegal.[19]

 

Over time, professional play became increasingly common, and with it came rising salaries and unpredictable player movement, as well as the illegal payment of college players who were still in school. The National Football League (NFL), a group of professional teams that was originally established in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association, aimed to solve these problems. This new league's stated goals included an end to bidding wars over players, prevention of the use of college players, and abolition of the practice of paying players to leave another team.[20] By 1922, the NFL had established itself as the premier professional football league.[21]

The dominant form of football at the time was played at the collegiate level, but the upstart NFL received a boost to its legitimacy in 1925 when an NFL team, the Pottsville Maroons, defeated a team of Notre Dame all-stars in an exhibition game.[22] A greater emphasis on the passing game helped professional football to further distinguish itself from the college game during the late 1930s.[20] Football in general became increasingly popular following the 1958 NFL Championship game, a match between the Baltimore Colts and the New York Giants that is still referred to as the "Greatest Game Ever Played". The game, a 23–17 overtime victory by the Colts, was seen by millions of television viewers and had a major impact on the popularity of the sport. This, along with the innovations introduced by the new American Football League (AFL) in the early 1960s, helped football to become the most popular sport in the United States by the mid-1960s.[23]

The rival American Football League arose in 1960 and challenged the NFL's dominance. The AFL began in relative obscurity but eventually thrived, with an initial television contract with the ABC network. The AFL's existence forced the conservative NFL to expand to Dallas and Minnesota in an attempt to destroy the new league. Meanwhile, the AFL introduced many new features to Professional Football in the United States: official time on the scoreboard clock, rather than on a watch in the referee's pocket, as the NFL did; optional two-point conversions by pass or run after touchdowns; names on the jerseys of players; and several others, including expansion of the role of minority players, actively recruited by the league in contrast to the NFL. The AFL also signed several star college players that had also been drafted by NFL teams. Competition for players heated up in 1965, when the AFL New York Jets signed rookie Joe Namath to a then-record US $437,000 contract. A five-year, $40 million NBC television contract followed, which helped to sustain the young league. The bidding war for players ended in 1966, when NFL owners approached the AFL regarding a merger, and the two leagues agreed on one that would take full effect in 1970. This agreement provided for a common draft that would take place each year, and it instituted an annual World Championship game to be played between the champions of each league. That game began play at the end of the 1966 season. Once the merger was completed, it was no longer a championship game between two leagues, and reverted to the NFL championship game, which came to be known as the Super Bowl.[24]

College football maintained a tradition of postseason bowl games. Each bowl game would be associated with a particular conference, and earning a spot in a bowl game was the reward for winning a conference. This arrangement was profitable, but it tended to prevent the two top-ranked teams from meeting in a true national championship game, as they would normally be committed to the bowl games of their respective conferences. Several systems have been used since 1992 to determine a national champion of college football. The first was the Bowl Coalition, in place from 1992 to 1994. This was replaced in 1995 by the Bowl Alliance, which gave way in 1997 to the Bowl Championship Series (BCS).[25] The BCS arrangement proved to be controversial, and was replaced in 2014 by a four-team playoff system.[26][27]

Bastian Balthazar Bux was a little boy around the age of ten or twelve. He lived with his father, because his mother died. When his mother was still alive his relationship with his father had been great. But since then they rarely spoke, his father became quiet, and very sad, Bastian couldn't reach him. He didn't care when Bastian was put back in school the year before. Bastian's time at school had been hard too, his classmates made fun of his fatness and clumsiness, and they were laughing at him when they discovered that having no friend to talk to he talked to himself. He told himself stories, about all sort of things, of knights and warriors, of great kings and queens, unicorns and other fantastic animals. He also loved books. All sort of fantasy-books, but all stories must end once, and he was always very sad when one ended.

One day when he went to school, his classmates were waiting for him in front of the schoolhouse. They chased him until he was so tired he couldn't run any further. They got him and dropped him into a litter-bin. Only after a long time could he get out. It was raining heavily, and he didn't have an umbrella with him, so he ran into the nearest shop for cover. It was a book-shop. An old man who was sitting in an armchair smoking a pipe was the seller. In his hand he held a book. Bastian who was soaked to skin and the man talked for a time, but the telephone rang and the old man went to the other end of the shop to pick it up. Bastian looked on the book, the man had been reading before he came in. It was bound in copper-coloured silk, and when he leafed through it he saw that it was printed in two colours red and blue. There seemed to be no pictures, but at the beginning of every chapter, there were beautiful capital letters. On the front cover of the book there were two snakes biting each other's tails, one was light and the other was dark. They formed an oval and inside it could be read:

PLEASE move past the Hodge vs Rang issue. THE CHOICE IS MADE! And again, imo the adult, mature thing to do is accept the collective wisdom of decision makers, believe in the MANY, almost unanimous supportive statements about our new coach from those who know him best, try to be positive about this new phase of things, and in this thread discuss DRESDEN LIONS 2014. If you wanna keep other topic going (why one would, who knows?) start a new thread about it, Hodge vs Rang debate or whatever, and let the fur fly! But let's get past that in >this thread< and get on with Dresden football. thank you. GO LIONS! #1 ALL THE WAY!

For instance, do we have good players to replace last years seniors? How deep are we? And who could step in for QB if (God forbid) something happen to our phenom Dresser? We had 60+ to dress-out last year (not bad for 1A, eh?), wonder how many we get playing this year? We had a few predictions for upcoming year's regular season record, any other guesses for 2014? (Mine is 8-2, district champs, #1 seed playoffs) ... that's relevant topics here, correct?

Last year folk doubted & bad-mouthed our freshman phenom QB, until they saw with own eyes.. then it was : wow! Now this year its doubt on coach selection, but methinks Rang will do much better than folk expect, especially with the players and foundation he inherited. Like Popeye Jones told our team, folk doubted him, but they couldn't measure his heart! And it was his heart that got him where he did in spite of naysayers. And those who know Rang best put 100%+ confidence in our new Coach, and that is where I cast my lot too, phooey on doubters! Chad could have done a fantastic job too, yes indeed, but Rang will as well. It's the heart that counts most imho, which our coaches and players are loaded with, on top of raw talent! Thus, our team will do better than most expect (so says this nutcase! HA!)

Yeppers, that is the unanimous opinion it seems from first meeters to those who really know our new coach. And I made an "upbeat, glowing" prediction of 8-2 season, but hey, if we finish 5-5 and win all our district games that fine too (tough job indeed!) . Our non-district foes are good (except for Fayette Academy, who WERE tops when we scheduled them, but their new year saw huge decrease in families, thus their players, thanks to tanking economy! From first to worst in one year. Sad). Next time coaches redo our schedule, I say keep as is but drop FA and Obion (they "dirtiest" team I ever see, trying to hurt on purpose. Classless!), and add who?... Milan? Halls? Lake County? Or who for non-district? I think the harder the non-conference opponent the better for us! What y'all think?

BTW.. I know we need to focus on this year and get through it first, but at years end everyone does revamp their schedule, right? (It is a two-year cycle I think). I just "thinking out loud". Yeah, yeah, I know too that not something I known for, nor do a good job when I guilty of it.. thinking that is! HA!

%^*#!. GRRRRRRR!!!!!! AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!! THIS IS THE AUTHENTIC, OFFICIAL AND ONLY ME. Whoever this imposter is hacking me and doing this...Reveal and expose yourself coward!!! Stuff like this make me want to knock the strawman stuffing out of a phony clown like this!!! HA!Wow! How do punks like this pull off these "hacking" gigs anyhow?!?! Dude...you best run, duck and cover from the incoming doom you're trying to attract. You're barking up the wrong tree...I'm from Memphis and your game will not work on me. Smoke and mirrors don't phase a man like me! Come at me, wee man!!!! WAPPPOHHHHH!!!!! You best sleep with one eye open, my queen. Grrrrrrr!!!!!!!

Anyway, now that I'm done with that. Let's talk some fusball

Possibly UC would get #2 seed, wouldn't they? Looking at rankings and games left, no 1A team will come out of districts #15 & #16, so it's just #13 & #14 teams to fill Quad, with two teams outta 13 (Dresden & Bruceton), four from 14 (UC, Humbolt, Lake Co, & S.Fulton). Dresden just has to beat the Mustangs and that would settle who #2. If not, I think it's gonna be Humbolt.

 

Hardest games left that have biggest ramifications on where they're seeded is Lake Co, who could be anywhere from #3 to #6, if my prognostications are right. (Don't bet on that though!). Dresden will be #2 or #3 imo, which will be bottom half of Quad anyways.

 

The way it works, the #1, 5, & 6 teams are on top, then #2, 3, & 4 teams on bottom of bracket, right? If that's so, looking at brackets, games left, & the possible seeding (@ http://football.tssaa.org/reports/regionalstandings.cfm ) it's in realm of possibilities that when dust settles UC & Lake Co. will be battling it out for a trip to the final four (making the safe assumption of UC winning it's games, and Cinderella assumption LC wins out until then). That'd be sumin! Also, lol at post below. HA!

. ROFLMHO!!!! EPIC & WONDERFUL. this is the real, official hevyrevy, hog knows me, my son played for him and @ Westview game we were there talking to him on hill with his sons, we had several former players stop by including bench press champ now in Hollywood. And this GREAT post was a hack. Someone.is.good.. very good. They even know nicknames, my past sports, age, weight loss.. lotsa cool personal stuff, even where I work. Either knows me in real world or read all my previous posts and gathered these tidbits. Regardless.. I LUVED IT! Whoever you are, this was Tony the Tiger GRRRRRRREAT! ... UHMMM a thought... no way I could of sleep walked and did this, could I? Time stamp I think I was up.. but my phone not working right, yet I have all kinds of protection.. so the source must have been some type of emulater or code copying of the T. Hehe.. I not smart enough to figure it out.. and using my ID they didn't cross any boundaries or social politeness or such nonsense.. so it cool with me. This was just funny banter ya'll. GREAT rant! I wish I could do.that good. (Was it perhaps a really.old.post redone and.updated? But how was my id used? I did leave the T and.FB both open last night while I asleep.. so maybe they got in that way somehow). Very smart with techie stuff whoever did this. And since it was an awesome post.. I say KUDOS & THANK YOU! x- the official, real hevyrevy1611.

Online, at sperPxaM (read backwards) the 2014 schedules (which has only first game listed so far) for Westview, Huntingdon, Dresden, Westwood all match with same info, Chargers vs Stangs in WK 1, Lions vs Longhorns in WK 0 at UTM, which I was motivated to find out after the guy at SaveALot was VERY certain Lions vs Chargers is no longer going to happen, which he said folk in Martin knew already and he discussed with several folk. He a tall (say 6'3", or more) young-looking black guy, fairly dark pigment (mgr i think.. whenever i in store i always see him working everywhere doing everything, hustling after it too) who is in his 40's (don't look it) with his playing days done at Tillman in KY. But our dresdenfootball dot com site has us playing Chargers on the countdown clock (but that site not updated very often, been over a year, preseason 2013 is last time that site had current info put on it). I hope I am made to look silly and moronic (which is EASY to do.. ha!) because I have overlooked or misread something plainly obvious online, but dude at store got me on this search.. he was staunch and adamant "knowing" for certain no more Dresden, and his source is "all the guys he talked to at Westview games" to quote him, because I asked. Man I hope it all wrong and I appear silly, because Chargers & Lions imo would be a great 1st game traditional rivalry for decades to come (provided Dresden keeps up its winning ways, which I believe it will!), always a big money maker, and only drawback, to me, is it hurting Chargers in 3A were the Lions to win or be close, which to me would be the only "logical" reason to drop game from a football standpoint. Hope all this hot air and useless talk.. but that info is online, and dude at store, with his sources all "know" the game not happening. (I rubbing my genie lamp and lucky rock wishing game still on.. for many more years to come!). And yes, Chargers definitely do need to work on not "chop blocking", film shows this habit they have, but it is ok with some fans, coaches, and players I guess no matter who it hurts. Simple truth for all to see, watch the films. But Lions still luv to play Chargers and prepares with practice drills for this blocking tactic Westview uses (Obion bad about it too.. they had 9 guys of theirs thrown out of game last year! They obvious about it, not as slick as others), so yeah, interesting you bring that up. Hope Chargers do find a better blocking technique, but knowing the past I sure our team will prepare themselves for the inevitable, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of our players get sick of it after awhile and retaliate in kind no matter what coaches say about not doing it, these players get emotional too and seek payback I sure. It's human nature to do that in such cases imo. And before anyond gets panties in a wad screaming, if able to, just watch the films... if you can be unbiased, honest, and objective, even against own team, you'll see who doing what as far as blocking goes.. which, hey, if we did drop this game my speculation is that may be reason, Lions tired of our guys being badly hurt, and to get it approved to break the schedule agreement all they have to do is have TSSAA look at tapes (which I have no idea of that being done, just using logical imagination of how/ why the game would be dropped by Dresden and the change approved by powers that be) . So, der it is, backdrop to this confusion of mine, and my response to the brought-up topic about blocking. Methinks it gonna be a great year no matter who we play! Voting for Chargers in WK 0 though! Let me share posting of NEW American football rules though...just imagine the physicality our lions go through every Friday night...

American football evolved from the sport of rugby football.[6] Rugby, like American football, is a sport where two competing teams vie for control of a ball, which can be kicked through a set of goalposts or run into the opponent's goal area to score points.[7]The first American football game was played on November 6, 1869 between Rutgers and Princeton. The game was played between two teams of 25 players each, used a round ball, and resembled a combination of rugby and soccer in its rules; the ball could not be picked up or carried, but it could be kicked or batted with the feet, hands, head or sides, with the ultimate goal of advancing it into the opponent's goal. Rutgers won the game 6-4.[8][9] Collegiate play continued for several years in which matches were played using the rules of the host school. Representatives of Yale, Columbia, Princeton and Rutgers met on October 19, 1873 to create a standard set of rules for all schools to adhere to. Teams were set at 20 players each, and fields of 400 by 250 feet (122 m × 76 m) were specified. Harvard abstained from the conference, as they favored a rugby-style game that allowed running with the ball.An 1875 Harvard-Yale game played under rugby-style rules was observed by two impressed Princeton athletes. These players introduced the sport to Princeton, a feat the Professional Football Researchers Association compared to "selling refrigerators to Eskimos."[9] Princeton, Harvard, Yale and Columbia then agreed to intercollegiate play using a form of rugby union rules with a modified scoring system.[10] These schools formed the Intercollegiate Football Association, although Yale did not join until 1879. Yale player Walter Camp, now regarded as the "Father of American Football," secured rule changes in 1880 that reduced the size of each team from 15 to 11 players and instituted the snap to replace the chaotic and inconsistent scrum. HA, I posted this in lieu of learning the game...which folks sometime forget! Let me continue with other tid bits...

The introduction of the snap resulted in unexpected consequences. Prior to the snap, the strategy had been to punt if a scrum resulted in bad field position. However, a group of Princeton players realized that, as the snap was uncontested, they now could hold the ball indefinitely to prevent their opponent from scoring. In 1881, both teams in a game between Yale-Princeton used this strategy to maintain their undefeated records. Each team held the ball, gaining no ground, for an entire half, resulting in a 0-0 tie. This "block game" proved extremely unpopular with the spectators and fans of both teams.[10]

 

A rule change was necessary to prevent this strategy from taking hold, and a reversion to the scrum was considered. However, Camp successfully proposed a rule in 1882 that limited each team to three downs, or tackles, to advance the ball five yards. Failure to advance the ball the required distance within those three downs would result in control of the ball being forfeited to the other team. This change effectively made American football a separate sport from rugby, and the resulting five-yard lines added to the field to measure distances made it resemble a gridiron in appearance. Other major rule changes included a reduction of the field size to 110 by 53.333 yards (100.584 m × 48.768 m), and the adoption of a scoring system that awarded four points for a touchdown, two for a safety and a goal following a touchdown, and five for a goal from field; additionally, tackling below the waist was legalized.[10]

 

Despite these new rules, football remained a violent sport. Dangerous mass-formations like the flying wedge resulted in serious injuries or even death.[12] A 1905 peak of 19 fatalities nationwide resulted in a threat by President Theodore Roosevelt to abolish the game unless major changes were made.[13] In response, sixty-two colleges and universities met in New York City to discuss rule changes on December 28, 1905, and these proceedings resulted in the formation of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the United States, later named the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).[14]

 

The legal forward pass was introduced in 1906 after its suggestion by John Heisman, although its impact was initially limited due to the restrictions placed on its use. Other rule changes introduced that year included the reduction of the time of play from 70 to 60 minutes and the increase of the distance required for a first down from 5–10 yards (4.6–9.1 m). To reduce infighting and dirty play between teams, the neutral zone was created along the width of the football.[15] Scoring was also adjusted: field goals were lowered to three points in 1909[11] and touchdowns were raised to six points in 1912.[16] The field was also reduced to 100 yards (91 m) long, but two 10-yard-long end zones were created, and teams were given four downs instead of three to advance the ball 10 yards (9.1 m).[17] The roughing-the-passer penalty was implemented in 1914, and eligible players were first allowed to catch the ball anywhere on the field in 1918.[18]

 

The professional era

 

William "Pudge" Heffelfinger, widely regarded as the first professional football player

The first instance of professional play in American football was on November 12, 1892, when William "Pudge" Heffelfinger was paid $500 to play a game for the Allegheny Athletic Association in a match against the Pittsburgh Athletic Club. This is the first recorded instance of a player being paid to participate in a game of American football, although many athletic clubs in the 1880s offered to help players attain employment, gave out trophies or watches that players would pawn for money, or paid double in expense money. Despite these extra benefits, the game had a strict sense of amateurism at the time, and direct payment to players was frowned upon, if not outright illegal.[19]

 

Over time, professional play became increasingly common, and with it came rising salaries and unpredictable player movement, as well as the illegal payment of college players who were still in school. The National Football League (NFL), a group of professional teams that was originally established in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association, aimed to solve these problems. This new league's stated goals included an end to bidding wars over players, prevention of the use of college players, and abolition of the practice of paying players to leave another team.[20] By 1922, the NFL had established itself as the premier professional football league.[21]

The dominant form of football at the time was played at the collegiate level, but the upstart NFL received a boost to its legitimacy in 1925 when an NFL team, the Pottsville Maroons, defeated a team of Notre Dame all-stars in an exhibition game.[22] A greater emphasis on the passing game helped professional football to further distinguish itself from the college game during the late 1930s.[20] Football in general became increasingly popular following the 1958 NFL Championship game, a match between the Baltimore Colts and the New York Giants that is still referred to as the "Greatest Game Ever Played". The game, a 23–17 overtime victory by the Colts, was seen by millions of television viewers and had a major impact on the popularity of the sport. This, along with the innovations introduced by the new American Football League (AFL) in the early 1960s, helped football to become the most popular sport in the United States by the mid-1960s.[23]

The rival American Football League arose in 1960 and challenged the NFL's dominance. The AFL began in relative obscurity but eventually thrived, with an initial television contract with the ABC network. The AFL's existence forced the conservative NFL to expand to Dallas and Minnesota in an attempt to destroy the new league. Meanwhile, the AFL introduced many new features to Professional Football in the United States: official time on the scoreboard clock, rather than on a watch in the referee's pocket, as the NFL did; optional two-point conversions by pass or run after touchdowns; names on the jerseys of players; and several others, including expansion of the role of minority players, actively recruited by the league in contrast to the NFL. The AFL also signed several star college players that had also been drafted by NFL teams. Competition for players heated up in 1965, when the AFL New York Jets signed rookie Joe Namath to a then-record US $437,000 contract. A five-year, $40 million NBC television contract followed, which helped to sustain the young league. The bidding war for players ended in 1966, when NFL owners approached the AFL regarding a merger, and the two leagues agreed on one that would take full effect in 1970. This agreement provided for a common draft that would take place each year, and it instituted an annual World Championship game to be played between the champions of each league. That game began play at the end of the 1966 season. Once the merger was completed, it was no longer a championship game between two leagues, and reverted to the NFL championship game, which came to be known as the Super Bowl.[24]

College football maintained a tradition of postseason bowl games. Each bowl game would be associated with a particular conference, and earning a spot in a bowl game was the reward for winning a conference. This arrangement was profitable, but it tended to prevent the two top-ranked teams from meeting in a true national championship game, as they would normally be committed to the bowl games of their respective conferences. Several systems have been used since 1992 to determine a national champion of college football. The first was the Bowl Coalition, in place from 1992 to 1994. This was replaced in 1995 by the Bowl Alliance, which gave way in 1997 to the Bowl Championship Series (BCS).[25] The BCS arrangement proved to be controversial, and was replaced in 2014 by a four-team playoff system.[26][27]

Bastian Balthazar Bux was a little boy around the age of ten or twelve. He lived with his father, because his mother died. When his mother was still alive his relationship with his father had been great. But since then they rarely spoke, his father became quiet, and very sad, Bastian couldn't reach him. He didn't care when Bastian was put back in school the year before. Bastian's time at school had been hard too, his classmates made fun of his fatness and clumsiness, and they were laughing at him when they discovered that having no friend to talk to he talked to himself. He told himself stories, about all sort of things, of knights and warriors, of great kings and queens, unicorns and other fantastic animals. He also loved books. All sort of fantasy-books, but all stories must end once, and he was always very sad when one ended.

One day when he went to school, his classmates were waiting for him in front of the schoolhouse. They chased him until he was so tired he couldn't run any further. They got him and dropped him into a litter-bin. Only after a long time could he get out. It was raining heavily, and he didn't have an umbrella with him, so he ran into the nearest shop for cover. It was a book-shop. An old man who was sitting in an armchair smoking a pipe was the seller. In his hand he held a book. Bastian who was soaked to skin and the man talked for a time, but the telephone rang and the old man went to the other end of the shop to pick it up. Bastian looked on the book, the man had been reading before he came in. It was bound in copper-coloured silk, and when he leafed through it he saw that it was printed in two colours red and blue. There seemed to be no pictures, but at the beginning of every chapter, there were beautiful capital letters. On the front cover of the book there were two snakes biting each other's tails, one was light and the other was dark. They formed an oval and inside it could be read:

PLEASE move past the Hodge vs Rang issue. THE CHOICE IS MADE! And again, imo the adult, mature thing to do is accept the collective wisdom of decision makers, believe in the MANY, almost unanimous supportive statements about our new coach from those who know him best, try to be positive about this new phase of things, and in this thread discuss DRESDEN LIONS 2014. If you wanna keep other topic going (why one would, who knows?) start a new thread about it, Hodge vs Rang debate or whatever, and let the fur fly! But let's get past that in >this thread< and get on with Dresden football. thank you. GO LIONS! #1 ALL THE WAY!

For instance, do we have good players to replace last years seniors? How deep are we? And who could step in for QB if (God forbid) something happen to our phenom Dresser? We had 60+ to dress-out last year (not bad for 1A, eh?), wonder how many we get playing this year? We had a few predictions for upcoming year's regular season record, any other guesses for 2014? (Mine is 8-2, district champs, #1 seed playoffs) ... that's relevant topics here, correct?

Last year folk doubted & bad-mouthed our freshman phenom QB, until they saw with own eyes.. then it was : wow! Now this year its doubt on coach selection, but methinks Rang will do much better than folk expect, especially with the players and foundation he inherited. Like Popeye Jones told our team, folk doubted him, but they couldn't measure his heart! And it was his heart that got him where he did in spite of naysayers. And those who know Rang best put 100%+ confidence in our new Coach, and that is where I cast my lot too, phooey on doubters! Chad could have done a fantastic job too, yes indeed, but Rang will as well. It's the heart that counts most imho, which our coaches and players are loaded with, on top of raw talent! Thus, our team will do better than most expect (so says this nutcase! HA!)

Yeppers, that is the unanimous opinion it seems from first meeters to those who really know our new coach. And I made an "upbeat, glowing" prediction of 8-2 season, but hey, if we finish 5-5 and win all our district games that fine too (tough job indeed!) . Our non-district foes are good (except for Fayette Academy, who WERE tops when we scheduled them, but their new year saw huge decrease in families, thus their players, thanks to tanking economy! From first to worst in one year. Sad). Next time coaches redo our schedule, I say keep as is but drop FA and Obion (they "dirtiest" team I ever see, trying to hurt on purpose. Classless!), and add who?... Milan? Halls? Lake County? Or who for non-district? I think the harder the non-conference opponent the better for us! What y'all think?

BTW.. I know we need to focus on this year and get through it first, but at years end everyone does revamp their schedule, right? (It is a two-year cycle I think). I just "thinking out loud". Yeah, yeah, I know too that not something I known for, nor do a good job when I guilty of it.. thinking that is! HA!

I have a question for the Dresden fans. I'm not slamming you by any means, but is this 2015 team the best in school history? I'm comparing them to the two teams that went to the state finals a few years ago. I thought those teams were good solid teams, but doesn't seem close to what this team is capable of in 2015. How many seniors does this team have on it?
