thriller

Where did ya'll hear that the game might be moved to Thursday night? I haven't heard anything of the sort. Food for thought: If my calculations are correct, the home team has won 4 of the last 5 regular season games between these two (the only exception was a win @ Huntingdon by the Dawgs in 2000...I think the score was 21-7).

If you're going to the game I suggest you get there early because you can bet there'll be standing room only. Give me your predictions...

McKenzie - 35 Dresden - 21

I really expected it to be a little closer than that. It was 41-0 at the half.

You took the words right out of my mouth, TheBoredGuy.

You must've given that "C" to the Huntingdon passing game based soley on quanity of yards and not quality or efficiency. The last figures I saw had Hayes completing only about 50-55% of his passes compared to Parish's 75-80%. I can't remember how may INTs Hayes has thrown, but I do remember that Parish hasn't thrown any.

Why was this thread even started so early? Both teams have bigger fish to fry right now.

I see where you're coming from WesCharge. When someone mentions West Tennessee, Memphis doesn't really come to mind at all.

I heard that Milan tried to sign a contract to play McKenzie not too long ago, and the Rebs wouldn't do it. Any truth to that?

I disagree. I believe that after they got hosed by the refs in UC they just lost all of their momentum. And after being the team that lost to McKenzie for the first time in about 15 years (no I'm not taking anything away from the Rebels...but understand where I'm coming from), they couldn't refocus. Plus, don't forget they beat Milan that year 14-12 at home, and gave #1 ranked Westview one of it's toughest games of the year (42-32).

Yeah, Donald will probably get the start. My sources say that Bell will sit out in an effort to be 100% for the Milan game. Don't expect to see Porter on offense at all. I think he's D all the way this year...not sure why though. I guess it all goes back to their depth. 35-7 Stangs.....He won't miss a PAT, duckman! LOL

Ask anyone over the age of 30 if that's true.

To clear up the weak schedule argument: When Huntingdon signed the contracts for its schedule the non-region foes were as follows: first was Bruceton, who recorded an 11-2 record the year the contract was signed, I think. I couldn't find out what their record was for sure. Next, the Stangs renewed an old rivalry with Lexington (3-7 the year of signing), and Westview (9-4 the year the contract was signed). The final two teams were Union City (14-1, State Runners-up the year of signing) and Milan (10-2 the year the contract was signed, their last year in 3A I believe). Plus the McKenzie is a regional opponent played every year. As you can clearly see, Huntingdon's non-region schedule was made before the 2001 season with the intent of playing a tough opponent every week, because they believe that if you have to go to war nearly every week in the regular season, you'll, most assuredly, be ready for a deep run into the playoffs (which hasn't worked out the last couple of years, as jacketpride24 is so fond of pointing out). With that said, let me reiterate that most of those aforementioned teams are down this year. Hence, what the originator of this thread calls, "the weakest schedule I've ever seen." And we all know that Milan makes its non-region schedule with the same intentions. So the bottom line is, the weak schedule argument is ungrounded and was made with absolutely no forethought.

The news I'm hearing is that Bell will likely sit out week 6 versus Camden to let his bruised shoulder heal. The Jackson Sun quoted Bell's brother, Marcus, as saying that Terrence told him he would not miss the Milan game. dhbb makes valid point, though. I wouldn't be surprised if Donald takes this opportunity to play and explodes against Camden.

I think it's very possible that all 3 teams could go 0-7 until one picks up its first win. We know, without a doubt, that either Union City or Westview will have a win after week 8 because they play each other. In addition to that, Bruceton plays Lake Co., a team they should probably beat that same week. The only other way I see one of these teams breaking out of its slump before that, is UC beating Obion Co. week 6. p.s. Stick to the topic SFFan.

Is there a website where the AP polls can be viewed?

Good post, formerQB. Every program has it's idiots, and they seem to be the one's that get all the attention instead of the good fans that make up the majority.

Yeah, Joey Smith. We were good friends until he moved to Henderson, and I knew he was qb at CC, that's why I asked.

Oh, I knew you didn't have anything to do with, but I figured you'd know the story behind it all. I guess you're right, though, maybe they just handed out the spot on a first come first serve basis.

TheBoredGuy, why was Huntingdon's radio station not allowed in the press box?

You're right ilovejulia. It is #49, my bad.

44-20 Milan if I'm not mistaken.

Heh, I thought the PA announcer provided comical relief, but he did call out the wrong number on several tackles and even one of the touchdowns. He gave the center, #50, credit for the TE's touchdown, #90. I also think the refs were clueless as to what was going on most of the night; tonight's second half was one of the worst officiated I can remember seeing. And I was amazed that the CC fans were so vocal throughout the entire game. It seems they're really focused on building that program up...I hope they win out the rest of their schedule. Good luck Eagles. Good job Mustangs. TheBoredGuy, are you a radio announcer? shelly, I heard that the Huntingdon band wasn't able to perform because of the presentation of the CC softball team before the CC band.

Well I thought I might know you, but I guess not. I know the CC qb that graduated in 2002. I think he told me he quit through the season. You know who I'm talking about? He went to Huntingdon until about the 3rd grade. He was one of my best friends until he moved.
