It's crazy how things have changed in 1 year. I never saw it coming.

The pope needs to send more gold coin down south. 

I think the Red Bank administrators looked at the empty home stands and the full visitors stands and realized they had lost any home field advantage.

What was already gonna be a good game would have been epic starting at 11pm. All the South Pitt faithful were still there, and the Pirates would definitely have had a "home field" advantage.

Yeah, but it still lightning in sight of the stadium.

Ooltewah and soddy resumed play and they are looking at the same sky. WRCB viper radar was there, and storms had moved on. Those tunderstorms are so tall, you can see the lightening from 20 miles away at night.

I'm all for safety, and I agree with the delays while the storms were moving through, but they were clearly gone when the game was called.

Can't believe they cancelled just as all the weather was moving out. Not a cloud in the sky now and all the thunderstorms are 10 miles northeast and moving out quick.

Dearest Mother-

 

   I write this letter to inform you I have received your care package of provisions. I swam from New Hope to Battery Point Hill to retrieve the shipment.  I must say these provisions arrived at the utmost opportune time.  For we were running low on your famous possum cakes and squirrel butter.  The young men and myself included were utterly thrilled to receive a batch of your bluejay muffins.  Also, the bandages were especially welcomed as we have had several fallen in battle.  You and Poppa will be pleased to hear of Captain Victory and his Band of Pirates dispatchment of those Hornet men from the J. Majors territory.  But we quickly turned our focus to our next campaign.  Your youngest son, who is of sound mind and strong body, has swam from Battery Point Hill up the length of the river to Mountain Creek.  I am now standing on Troll mountain overlooking the Red Bank camp as I write.  Below I see large carnivores of what I can only describe as a breed of half men half lion species.  This will undoubtedly be the most arduous conflict to date.  They are led by the head Carnivore himself better known as Bad Bad Lion Brown.  But don't you fret Sweet Mother of mine for we have leading us the greatest Captain on planet Earth.  Captain Victory has sailed these waters before and has his Band of Pirates ready no matter who or what we are facing.   Our sidearm is ready and true.  Our ground assault must strike strongly, quickly and boldly. The air assault must be delivered with precise precision. The defense must hold their ground against anything coming their way. Our Special units must pin and cage these Lions deep.    We have our orders.  The command has been given.  We must invade this hostile force and try to skin these carnivorous beings.       Love to All-

I was woderin’ who that redneck wuz, standin’ in my front yard survey the battlefield. 

Since this is a pretty short drive for me, I think I'll come watch this one. Hope this is a close, exciting game, and it certainly might be. But I think there's a pretty good chance that Red Bank might open a can of whoop #### on the Pirates.

I'm thinking this will be the best team the Pirates have faced in a good while.  What do you say?   How far back would you have to go to find a better team?  Whitwell 2018?   Greenback 2017, 2016?  Jasper 2015, 2014?   Further? 

I'd say 2010 Signal Mountain, the year we both won State. I'm expecting a similar game, too. That was a real barn burner, with Signal pulling out a 40-36 win.

Red Bank’s concession stand ladies look better than that and their food is even better. That’s where I would eat if I were looking. 

I understand concession revenue and all. Red Bank concession has some good food, but no cold beer.
Just sayin'

How is the Nooga Q Smokehouse Grill?  

Anyone? 

Ain't stopped by in awhile, but they used to have all you can eat catfish starting at 4pm on Fridays. Even if they ain't still fryin' up the catfish, I think you'll like the joint. If a bunch of you pirate hosers is goin', give Tami a call this week, and she might wear one of her Halloween pirate costumes for you.

Nooga-Q Smokehouse Grill

It's working at this site for me.

It's Jasper.  It's teenagers. It's the Hatfields and McCoys.  It's the battle to end all battles. Its Armageddon. A knock down drag out of Biblical proportions.  Devastation. Destruction. No one might survive.  Find you a safe hiding place.

Can always tell when Hate Week comes to Mary Ann County.

All the Pirates come out.

What makes them so much different than the real deal team that got stomped last year by Upperman? Did they have a great bunch of 8th graders come in to make this such a better team than what they had last year? Just asking!

Always have good athletes. New coaching staff has instilled more discipline, better work ethic, playing better as a team.

After seeing how they beat Soddy and then came from behind to beat Ooltewah, I was expecting more from them. After seeing them in person for a full game, I'm not as impressed, but they still have a lot of potential. Offensive line seems to be a weakness and still some lingering attitude/discipline issues.

In all fairness, though, Signal's defense is better than I realized, and our coaches had a good defensive scheme to slow their offensive attack.

And I always thought they came for the garbage service.

I was saving my judgement until this game. We have done a 180.

'Bout dam time.

Tied at 7 at the half. Gotta say I'm pleasantly surprised. Signal's defense has been playing well. Got a couple of turnovers and a couple of big stops.

Signal is tied at 7 with Red Bank at the half. The Hermit would be proud.

MountainTroll needs a better recruit'n plan.

Garbage service is included at all of the apartment complexes around Red Bank, so I cain't us Starz Garbage Service.

I ain't much of a Catlick fan, but I gotta pull for Booger Fant's Mackerel Snappers over the Bonny Oaks Snake Handlers in this one.

Bledsoe is a much improved team this year, but the Ram Train will be too much to stop.

I'll be pulling for the Boys in Blue in memory of the Hermit, God rest his soul.
