Looking forward to a good 1st quarter, a fun 2nd, a quick bathroom break, the shortest second half on record, and early to bed.

No chip on shoulder. Just good football talent and depth. You're just mad you have to play us. Signal Mountain is coming to town. Get over it. When the village idiots start trying to pick a fight, we'll walk away. Whether Tim plays or not, there's a whole lot of whoopin comin down on our valley friends between snap and whistle! I just hope the SC coach and players have more sense than most of the SC posters on this message board and don't develop the "if we can't beat them, let's pick a fight" mentality. I don't think it will happen, but I could see us loading the buses and moving out early if those actually involved in the game acted as immaturely as the hatred spewers on this board.

I wish you knew a third of what you spew out as truth. Wow. This is a masterpiece - of ignorance and hatred.

As bad as Friday night will be, it's next year you should really worry about. Waterboy 96 will be eligible!!

The Signal Mountain at Sequatchie game next week should be a great event for both schools and all involved. The schools are geographically close, many of Sequatchie's students live on Signal Mountain, a lot of the players and fans know each other well and are friends. There should naturally be a good, healthy rivalry - much like SM enjoys with South Pittsburg. Everybody knows SM is outplaying SC this year and although this game may be, it shouldn't be close. I fully expect SC to try to work the clock and slow the game much like Grundy did. I expect a similar outcome but expect the first half to be pretty exciting. As far as the McClendon kid, I hope he gets to play - not because SM needs him, but because he needs to play. SM needs him to play to have something to cheer for - a healing, if you will. And he needs that more than anything. He will not be an on-the-field difference-maker in this game. I will go on record as stating that he hasn't really been a difference-maker all year and that SM would have won all of those games without him. He scored a lot of touchdowns because the coaching staff called the plays that gave him the ball at the right times. I could have run most of those in. Proof is the CCS game. It was #2's night - 6 touchdowns. If you think SM lost to Polk because #3 was sidelined, I think you're mistaken. I do not take anything away from a great Polk Team, Coaching, and Home Field Environment, but I do belive the TSSAA letter to the school Friday afternoon and the aftermath affected SM play that night. Polk beat SM fair and square. I just think they benefitted from SM's untimely misfortune and I mention it only for its relevance to the issue of #3 playing or not. I look forward to seeing my friends in Dunlap Friday night and watching a great football game in a great environment. If anybody, SM or SC, is encouraging or expecting anything different, I hope you rethink the big picture and remember what high school football is really about. I hope all of our local teams go far in the playoffs and represent our area well - and I hope SP brings home another gold ball!

Troll - Want to meet up there a little early to see if we need to touch up the paint on the lines from last week's game or make a Favorite Market run to restock the concession stand? I sure hope that scoreboard works tonight. We might want to knock the cob webs out of the press box and make sure we're ready for the 7:00 kick-off. Want to meet bout 6:15? Go Eagles, try hard!

Just kidding. I think everybody is going to the Baylor South / Makhaulie game tonight. Too bad we don't have a pep rally or any excitement going on up here . . . Another game, another family Friday night watching our little boys play sports . . .

The Stadium is filling up!

I think it's just the opposite. The big league posters ain't nearly as much fun as this group. After all of the back n forth with SPitt and Crickbank last year, the 3/4 threads are BORING. A lot of Signal posters have fallen asleep or fallen out.

Today, the SM Eagles are Warriors!

OK, that emoticon was a little creapy/cheesy, but I do love to talk about the SP/SM game of 2010. Be sure to tell your folks to come early. It takes an extra 10 minutes (don't speed on Shackleford Ridge Road) to get to the school from the top of the mountain and we're expecting a big crowd. Parking may be tight, but you're welcomed to come early and set up a tailgate picnic in the lot. We'll see you there!

Now, you're talking! I've said that night was THE best sporting event I've ever attended period - and I've attentended some pretty cool stuff - (Cowboys/49ers from skybox; Daytona as VIP, Braves from behind the plate, etc.etc.) That night was special and it wasn't just the time the clock was ticking. Those boys acted like men that night and I'll never forget it.
