If Lincoln Co is lucky maybe it'll be like 1998, both meetings, stuff happens.

A Champion A Champion knows his strengths and weakness, and is always in pursuit of the unattainable perfection. A Champion has control. Emotional and mental control of the situation at hand. He knows the only thing he has 100% control over is he. He knows he cannot control how well his opponents play, the weather, the field conditions, how the ball bounces. He knows he cannnot control the past or the future. A Champion knows that all you can do is all you can do. A Champion has an attitude of assurance that he is prepared to win. He steps onto the field and looks his opponent in the eye, knowing that if he executes his game, he will be a victor. A Champion deserves to win. A Champion will not always be a victor, but a Champion is never a loser. A Champion strikes fear in the heart of his opponent because they know that a Champion will not lose. A Champion is intimidating without even trying to be. A Champion treats pressure as a comfort zone. When the pressure is at its highest his chances of victory are increasing. A Champion stifles his apponents with unflappable concentration and focus and the unrelenting will and desire to win. A Champion crushes his opponents with a fearless attack that does not fade untill the last whistle has blown. A Champion finishes the race. Good Luck Lincoln County!

To falconmom, I'll have to agree but they are high school kids. I'm sure I don't know them as well as you. I wish them luck for the rest of the season and through out their careers whatever they choose to be.

Franklin Co. (3-1) will come in 2nd with Cookville still to play. Coffee Co. (2-2) will come in 3rd with Warren Co. still to play. Cookville (2-2) will be 4th with Franklin Co. to play. Franklin Co. and Cookville will decide for sure cause it could be a 3 way tie for 2nd. You can take that for what it's worth cause it's free.

Don't get too excited just yet. Lincoln Co. has improved but the teams they have played may be having an off season other than Franklin. Coffee Co. and Franklin Co. have improved but they're not where they want to be just yet. Oakland and Riverdale are strong but they're down from where they have been in the past. The next season will start in the playoffs. Then anybody can beat anybody. Don't get the big head Falcons you still got a lot of football to play.

Graduate? Are you kidding? You'll be waiting a long time. UT dosen't graduate very many players.

I don't think he's had enough time to prove himself. At Vanderbilt it could take 5 or 6 years. He seems to be a class act and I think he could get the job done.

Lincoln Co might score 80 points on Franklin if they played them 4 more times and you added all the points together. That would be tuff because Franklin would probably figure out a way to stop them.

Could the rain affect this game? If so, who could it hurt worse?

Fuggly get a life. How about a little cheese to go with that whine.

You're right semperfi. That ball ain't round it it can bounce funny sometimes. I'm for Lincoln County all the way. I've seen crazy things happen after games like the Falcons just had. I have a lot of respect for Coffee County. Lincoln County couldn't beat any one else except Riverdale and Oakland last year and that was their season. I just hope Lincoln County will come ready to PLAY!!

Coffee County won the first ever game in the Pit, for what that's worth. It might not mean a thing. The best I can remember Lincoln County was supposed to win that night. Lincoln County has scored more points on Coffee County in one game. This could be a good game especially after last week. (Howard) I don't think those games are good for anybody except the reserves. Lincoln County's starters barely got to play over 1 quarter. I hope they can recover and get back on track but it might not be as easy as they think.

All I'm saying is their is some very good feeder programs in Lincoln County right now and the future looks bright for the Falcons. They may go through a 4 or 5 year stretch where they're very competitive again. Then some of the kids may burn out or quit for whatever reason. Nobody can see in the future. The Falcons may have been down the last 4 years, but not out. I don't think this will be the last year for the Falcons. Lincoln County people will take the good with the bad for the most part. There have sure been a lot more good years than bad years and that is what keeps em coming back.

If you want the facts, I'm sure the statmen can tell you all you need to know!

If you look at their record for the last 25 years they're about even. Lincoln County is ahead of Oakland and only a couple of games back of Riverdale. Lincoln County has won 2 of the last 3 against Riverdale. Riverdale won about 6 in a row before that . Things change. Murfreesboro keeps growing and their tallent pool keeps getting spread around. It would be illegal for one team to recruit now wouldn't it. Lincoln County will be competitive untill their is another high school built. Untill then some years will be better than others.

That was probably the 3 best teams in the state that year.

At 15 and 0 the 1990 team was definately the best. No other team will have a chance to get to 15 an 0 any time soon. They just refused to loose.

The Blanket Bowl? Is that the same as the Mid State Bowl? Fayetteville Central played in the Mid State Bowl in 1969 & 1970. I thought it was in Lebanon but I could be wrong. I do know this though. Central played Hillsboro in 1969 and Gallatin in 1970. They lost both games. All the players on both teams received blankets. Does anybody remember anything about this?

I wish both teams the best of luck and pray that no one is injured when all is said and done, and also that everyone gets to play.

Howard is a team that LC signed on to keep from having an open week. I don't think we have to worry about the Falcons getting beat. Howard is having a terrible year this year and are out of their league. The biggest problem that LC has to worry about is getting lulled to sleep and getting too over confident. Let's face it the Falcons are in the playoffs. They need to get ready. They need to stay focused. Teams that are having a bad year are not what we need to get ready. This will be like a open week. I hope everyone gets to play a lot. The starters need to go out and take care of business for the practice squad because they're the ones that have helped them get to where they are. Howard is probably stronger than Warren Co is at this point. I wish both teams luck in getting their teams back to where they want them to be, but it ain't gonna be this year against LC!!! That's just the facts!

Now that's pretty weak! Anybody that would do that is a coward.

I'll say this! The Cavs came into the Pit last year and put an old fashion, carry em out to the woodshed whoopin on the Falcons and I don't think anybody saw it comming. Especially after the Falcons had beaten Riverdale and Oakland. I hope the falcons learned a lesson. If they didn't they'll get another whoopin. And even though the players are mostly the same, I believe it's a different team.

Lincoln Co. could have been a very good team last year. They pretty much have the same team. The only difference is this team is more disciplined. This is just a fans observance. I for one could see some problems on the team that are not there now. Thank goodness. If Louis had anything to do with it I don't know. I know this though, he will give a kid every chance in the world to make something of himself, but some kids just can't be helped. This group of kids is a TEAM. They didn't have that last year. They are a lot more fun to watch and cheer for. Falcon fever is very contagious and when they're winning it gets to be an epidemic. This team can be something special. It's up to them. What a difference a year has made.

Lincoln Co's biggest let down could come at the end of the season. Right now they are on a roll and that should continue. Cookville is only 110 miles. 2 easy hours of driving. What I mean by end of season is after playing Howard and Warren Co., the starters will be off early in the show. This is not good when a team is trying to get ready for the playoffs.
