Well, I was trying to refrain from commenting on this one but here it goes. I have a tremendous respect for this Lion's Team. They play smart and hard. They have some athletes and their good kids too. But as a recent comparison to any other team, I would compare them to the Mckenzie Rebels of 2001. That rebel team went 10-0 or 9-1(cant remember) in the regular season. Even beat the Mustangs at their house!!!!! They had a good running back (Stenberg) and qb (Hopper) as well as a good O-Line and D-Line with size and quickness that year. They won first two in playoffs and then got severely humbled, I believe by Westview. The point of this comparison is that when a team makes that giant leap of success in one season it is hard for young players (who have not been there before) to realize how much it takes to win in the third,fourth, and the final round of the playoffs. The Stangs even experienced some of this their first trip to the Clinic Bowl and they had been in several big games prior to that. They were so glad to be there, but Goodpasture came to win because they had already been there. I am not saying the Lions cannot win Friday night, they have enough talent to pull it off (especially if the Stangs help some ie... turnovers). But it helps if your program has been in some big games before (in recent memory). If the Lions can maintain this kind of winning consistency for another 2 or 3 years it will really start to show in the Big Games. Just throwing this out there. What do you Lion fans think?
