Once again, you are wrong my little leprechaun buddy. Last week was homecoming. We got our QB back in the second quarter of that game, but it was another woulda, coulda, shoulda game for my Eagles. The East Ridge game is at their newly renovated field, deep in the heart of Notre Dame's recruiting territory. The Pioneers are undefeated on the season and are coming off of a bye week, so I expect this to be another tough game for Signal. I can only hope that they are overlooking the Eagles as they prepare for next week against Anderson County, but that is unlikely for a Tim James team. I haven't seen many write-ups on East Ridge this year, but I know there are a few talented players that slipped through Fant's net and chose the orange and black over that gaudy green and gold. If we can clean up some of the mistakes and play smarter, this will be a competitive game. If not . . . GO EAGLES ! ! !

It's better than the tent. Teams have always had the option of dressing at the school (like our guys do) and walking up, but most are too lazy.

I wouldn't keep my mowers in that shed. I keep 'em over in the nice building.

I only been to Ronnie's Red Eye once, and I ain't never goin' back.

43-0 Final Congratulations to the Tigers. Nothing good can be said about Signal's performance.

this one?

Is that Grider's new chicken?

That's what happens when you go sleepin' with yer cousin.

Only the coaches know for sure, and they all lie. I never believe anything a football coach says.

Not sure Whitwell is the underdog in this one. Probably two equal, but different style teams. Should be a competitive and exciting game. Can Signal stop the run game of the Tigers? Can Whitwell stop the high-flying spread game of the Eagles?

Whutwul seems to have a very good power run game and a very stout defense against the run, but they haven't faced very stiff competition yet. I like the way we match-up against the Tigers. This should be a competitive and exciting game that could go either way, but I'll pick Signal by a couple of scores.

They had all their studs on the field as best as I could tell. They executed well and played mistake-free football. When they are playing up to their potential, these Lions will be a tough out against most AAA teams. We're headed in the right direction, but we're no match for the athletes they put on the field.

You won't learn much from ole Booger. He just makes it up as he goes. I was watching Farragut vs MoWest last night, and they referred to Farragut's stud tailback as a CAK transfer. Is that true?

I'll see your 3 and raise you 3. Signal by 6.

This makes no sense at all. Giving up what would most likely be the best home gate of the year. Won't be many Warrior fans (Blue or Purple) traveling to Boyd to watch the game. They'll be lucky to take in enough to cover whatever Boyd is charging them. On top of that, Bledsoe's best chance in this game would be on a muddy, sloppy field. I think yer AD must have been a little too deep in the jug when he agreed to this move.

You sure that's a Booger Pickin?

The Catholic school will mercy rule the Christian school.

Time for the Eagles to fly off the mountain and battle the Lions. Red Bank looked pretty good against a strong Soddy Daisy team, but played pretty sloppy against Central. Signal's defense has looked good this year except for a couple of busted coverages against East Hamilton. Our offense has looked spectacular at times, but has stumbled at times. With the athletes they have all over the field, there is no doubt Red Bank will be favored; but, if Signal can execute more consistently on offense and the defense continues to play well, I think we can pull off the upset in this very important Region 3 matchup. I predict special teams play will be the difference in this one. GO EAGLES ! ! !

Solid 27-7 win by my Eagles tonight. We cleaned up the turnovers from last week, but still need to execute better and be more consistent on offense. I have been very proud of the defense this year. A couple of busted coverages last week but none this week. The secondary played very well tonight. I have been most impressed with the strength of the defensive front against the run. I thought Tyner would be able to run the ball better, but the defensive front shut them down when necessary tonight. Overall a performance the guys should be proud of. Granted, Tyner did not execute well and shot themselves in the foot numerous times tonight, but still a solid win for my Eagles. Hopefully, this win will boost the guys confidence and keep them moving in the right direction. Enjoy it for a day or two, but then it's time to start preparing for a very good Red Bank team. If we can clean up a few things and execute more consistently on offense, I like our chances next week. Oh yea, a big shout out to our kicker, #19 Scott Payne. It's nice to put the opponent on the 20 every kickoff and avoid any runbacks. Being able to rely on the field goal inside of 40 yards don't hurt, either. A junior this year, this kid will get some serious D1 offers. GO EAGLES ! ! !

I think you'z got a little too deep in the cornbread or the corn squeezin's. You might want to drop by the Minute Clinic and git yer ammonia level checked.
