Well, I know if you are the host and don't like the score, you can just turn the scoreboard off in the second half. 

I remember a football game being played at Jasper a few years back. The visiting team was whooping up on them Warriors so badly, they ran out of P.A. announcers.

T2,  I guarantee I paid good money for that mess.  I'm gonna check that network website and see if they've edited out any of their other games.  

 

You get what you pay for ST.

If I had your money I could throw mine away.

I was watching our basketball game vs Sale Creek late last night via the NFHS network.  I got to see all but the last 28.7 seconds.

Sale Creek had just knocked down 2 free throws that gave them the lead at 48-47.

SP proceeded to inbounds,   dribbled the ball up to half court,  SP coach was calling a timeout when the stream just ended.  That was it.  The last 28.7 seconds ain't on there.

SP hit a game winning 3 pointer.

Let me ask you a question.   If a school publishes their games on the network,  can they just edit & delete what they don't want others to view?  

@rlh, @oneyewilly, @The Drunken Sailor

They didn't want you to watch it.  End of story.

Picked up Davidson Academy. 

Good pick up.  

Slippery slopes. 

Caution ahead.

Reminiscent of Popeye and his can of spinach.

Once it was opened, Popeye ruled the day.

I am what I am and that's what I am.

Class 1A State champion Pirates is what I am.

Great job South Pittsburg!!

Thank you Coach. 

I gave it my best shot guys. 

Just a wee bit short.  That's what she said.

Good job everyone.  I enjoyed it.

I'll be back.  Bigger, better, stronger.

Have a blessed Christmas season.

I got my picks in.   Regardless how this turns out, just know,  I've had a ton of fun.

@CoachT will you be doing an update at the end of each day?  Or wait until the conclusion of all 3 days? 

It was nothing spectacular at all.  Just a decent week.  Still 1 game back. 

Round 4 results:

W-L:  9-3

Dawgs:  2-0  (East Nash, East Rob)

Games decided <8:  2-1

Rank: 4

GB: 1

Analysis:  I've been riding with Houston all year.  I abandon them and paid the price.  I'm still in the mix being just 1 game back, but I'm once again staring at the back of 3rd and long.  Dude just won't get out of my way. 

9 games to go. I need an early Christmas miracle.  I need to find 2 dogs no one cares to take in or even wants.  2 dogs, even if they're mutts.  Let's go to the dog pound and see what's available. 

Good luck pickers.

I had another good week.  Not great by any means, but a good week.  I got lucky a bit and moved up 3 spots and gained 1 game.

Here's how it breaks down. 

Round 3 Results:

W-L:  25-5

Dawgs: 3-1 (Houston, Southwind, Giles) - (Union City)

Games decided <8:  6-2

Rank: 3

GB: 1

Analysis:  Not bad as I have already mentioned above.  I gained back the 3 spots I lost last week (23-4).  Picked up 1 game.  I hit on 3 of 4 dogs, and 6 of 8 games that were decided by less than 8. Those aren't bad ratios. I was lucky enough to position myself a little better and am gonna try and make a final push this week.  I believe there are 12 DI games being played Friday.  I need to find 3 to 4 good dogs.  Let's go hunting.

East bound and down.  Go Pirates!!

I've only got 4 dawgs, but 2 are of the single digit variety.  If a person wanted to make a move towards the top, this was the week to do so.    Next week there will only be 12 games,  2 per DI Class.   Followed by the nine championship games.  Good luck pickers. 

I'm fixing to make my picks.  I believe I'll turn a couple yuge dogs loose this week.  See if I can't steal this thing. 

My week 2 of the playoffs is as follows, if anyone cares to follow.

Second Round Results:

W-L:  23-4

Dawgs:  5-1 (Bearden, Centennial, Marshall, ER, UC) - (Bledsoe)

Games decided <8:  4-3

Rank: 6

GB: 2

Analysis:  I went 23-4 and fall 3 spots.  lol.  smh.   Seriously though, I was tied alongside 17 others at the 3 spot last week,  so, that's not really too terrible of a trade off, as there is a bit more thinning out starting to take place, but still a lot of pickers bunched right in there.  The Bledsoe Co dawg pick bit me.  Or should I say, pujo's bulldogs bit me?   Good win for Hampton. 

Not a bad week.  Just trying to hang tough.  A bounce here or a bounce there, instead of being on one end of the spectrum, you'll find yourself on the other. 

All games are on the board this week. 

A pickers paradise.

I think I'll browse the offerings.

Tonight the Pirates will try and take the next step towards their ultimate goal.  Clay County is standing in the way.  Play smart, play for each other, and represent the Power P with class.  I believe when the smoke settles from Stone Cold's cannon, the Pirates will be the victors and will advance.

Go Pirates!!

I had 7 underdawgs earlier in the week.  One must've got an extra helping of gravy train the last few days and outgrew that status.  I've got 6.   Good luck.

Who let the dogs out?   I did.  A whole pack of em.  Going for the jugular.  Take cover.

I'm out.  

LOL.  Finish what you start ST.  That's what you've always told me.  I've got about 6-7 that I'm taking a closer look.  P.S. (don't take all favorites like you did the first week. You knew better.)

I'm getting ready to make my second round picks.  But first let's take a look at my first round.

First Round results:

W-L:  14-2

Dawgs:  3-0  (Oneida, Hendersonville, Collierville)

Games decided <8:  2-0

Rank: T-3 (with 17 billion others)

GB: 1

Analysis:  3 points: 

(1) Good first week. 

(2) Need more just like it. 

(3.)  3rdandLong should change his name to  IconvertedAgain.

On to round two.  Let me take a look.  Good luck.

I've got some dawgs.   And I've turned them loose.  I hope they bite someone's arse as long as it's not mine.    Sic 'em.

I have made all of my picks but 3.  I think that is where the rubber meets the road this first week. I must return to my quiet place now and put my thinking cap back on.  Good luck pickers.

There was no Halloween miracle for me but I was able to sneak back into the top 10 on this final week of this regular season contest. I had another good showing. I was actually too far behind to put any real pressure on Dear Leader down the stretch, but Harley applied enough for all of us I guess.  Good race guys.  I enjoyed it.   Here's what happened.

Week 11 results:

W - L:  17-3

Dawgs:  3-0  (Houston, DCR, Fairley)

Games <8:  2-1

Rank 9th

GB 8

Analysis:  A good week.  Hit on all my dogs. Moved up 5 spots.  I think a couple pickers ahead of me may have taken a bigger chance this last week and I was lucky enough to pass them and catch a couple other pickers to sneak out a top 10 finish. 

Bottom line:  There is always a pick here or there that you would like to have back after the fact, and even wonder what was I thinking a time or two. But I was 8 games back overall, idk where or how I could overcome that deficit.  Point being, that was some mighty fine pickin' and grinin' from you all.  Looking at the top 20, there's a lot of familar names. I'm just blessed to have my name alongside you all.  I look forward to the playoff competition.  Good luck.
