  1. Ole PG is smarter than y’all give him credit for. When the man that signs the paychecks says put a lid on it, there’ll be no commenting. Week 1 begins tomorrow. Let’s play some football.
  2. Incorrect. Dr Griffith, acting on instruction from the Health Department, cancelled the first game due to a positive COVID case. Marion was prepared to come to SP during Jones’ first season but Jones and Mr Bible sent an email to Marion cancelling the game, and thus, the rivalry. Again, both teams have moved on, and regardless of what PegLeg says, both teams will miss the revenue generated from this game.
  3. No thanks. It’s not that important. Just don’t want the folks down South to loose track of the fact that it was their “Savior Returned Home” that ended the game. The only bad thing about it is that both programs lose a very good gate every other year. While the games can be, and have been, replaced, we’re all kidding ourselves if we don’t believe the lost revenue hurts both programs.
  4. You’re only half right. The rivalry ended. But it’s Chris Jone’s back that needs to be patted for that. And that’s not hearsay.
  5. That might work. Worth a shot. There is also a chance that both teams can mutually agree to cancel the games. But SP runs a risk of not being able to replace that game this season and you’ve not had any home gates. The coffers will be bare. I hate this for the players and for Paige & Heath. None of them deserve this.
  6. The problem with dropping Oakland is that this was the first year of a two year contract. That means you would potentially drop them both years at $2,500-$5,000 per year. Depending on terms of the contract. Shelling out that kind of money after two COVID interrupted years will be tough for any team.
  7. This is what happens when people outside of the school system try to exert their “power” in a coaching hire. The Principal and AD should be making this call. This person will be a teacher inside the school first… the coaching job is just a supplemental position. The Principal and AD know what they need. Let them hire.
  8. Youngun... Which one of these skillet heads told you that Keef said something that needed an apology? Or did you read that on that Nosey Book Pirate Fan Page? Accusations were posted on CoachT in 2013. An apology was posted on CoachT in 2013. Nothing more to be said about the past. If you know... you know... I'm guessing Ol' Keef is gonna be like the Boogey Man... He's gonna be the legend that you skillet heads tell campfire stories about to the future skillet heads for generations to come... Yep recon so...
  9. PurpleGrad posted the comments in 2013 that required an apology. That could have been anyone according to your logic... Old Pirate, Roy Dillard, PirateMike, PirateTom, RLH, Drunken Sailor, D60, PegLeg and a whole host of long-time SP posters know...
  10. I guess ol' Keef isn't the one with the memory loss. Apology was posted November 13, 2013. Thanks for playing along.
  11. Only 2 SP posters really possessed the ability to consistently rattle my cage. One was definitely Roy Dillard. I stopped letting him rattle me by simply not responding to his posts. However, the more you read his ramblings the more you understood that he was just an avid fan who was doing what he could to keep the opposition stirred up. The other one you all know is Old Pirate. We've had more than one public feud and a few private ones before he let his Plus Membership expire. In the end, OP too was just doing what he could to shake up his kinfolk up next to the courthouse. I'm stating now that I am willing to burry the hatchet with both of these guys and move on.. Tonight, I am following the lead of Roy Dillard and MCRoadWarrior and I am leaving CoachT for a while. After I submit this post, I will ask CoachT to remove my Mod status. The events of the past 3 or 4 weeks have worn on me emotionally. I am still trying to wrap my head around everything that has happened. What eats at me most is that I let my emotions get the best of me and acting on inaccurate and/or incomplete information, I proceeded to make a fool of myself on this site. In the end, I did the only thing that I could do, which is to admit that I was wrong and apologize for my actions. Still, I am ashamed that, as one who constantly tells my players not to let raw emotions affect what they do, I was unable to follow my own teachings... I'm human and as such am not perfect. Roy and OP... If either of you would like to meet and personally burry the hatchet, I would be glad to do so. That goes for any poster on the T... I've never really hidden who I am so it's not hard to find me. Guys and Gals, it's been a fun for many years. Good luck to the Pirates tomorrow... I hope to get to see this Gold Ball in that trophy case when we come to The Pitt in January... Goodnite.
  12. For what it's worth before people start to think it... I've had nothing to do with moderating or locking any thread dealing with the issues at MCHS. I have let CoachT, Ambassador and Butchie moderate those threads. Just didn't want y'all to think I was trying to keep down the discussion.
  13. Good luck to the Pirate players, coaches and fans. Lankford, Mitchell and Fitzgerald individually are remarkable athletes... together, they are a lethal combination. Lightening strikes quick and does massive damage. UC is obviously a very good team but SP is too explosive not to win this game. My prediction is SP by two TD's... Go Pirates.
  14. As it stands now there is no suspension of players next week due to events that unfolded late in the game. If you want to keep this thread open, keep the conversation on the game and not the "what's going to happen" stuff. If the TSSAA reviews film and decides to suspend players we will open the other thread back up for discussion. Any more talk of suspension on this thread will result in it being locked.
