No doubt, I've experienced that graciousness (sarcasm). Karma is real, hopefully I'll get to watch it come around.

Can't believe I'm saying this....C'MON USJ!!!!!!! Beat them Bears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well crafted response.

Right, but like I have been saying for a while....the level of competition at these smaller private schools is insane for the amount of athletes they have. The coaching, facilities, and hand picked athletes make the difference. Literally the x's and o's....Jimmies and Joes. Oh yeah, and in that instance...the Eric's too. LOL.

Best Private vs public example I can think of was Lausanne vs Whitehaven. Beat them 2 years in a row. Little ole DIIAA Lausanne against a 6A Whitehaven powerhouse. Yeah...

I hate that for CA especially. My son plays for Fayette Academy and we had hoped to play CA for our last game. We got a replacement for this Friday, but It'll put an end to the dumpster fire of a season COVID handed us. To top it off my kiddo got his arm broke in the Davidson game the week before...2020 can eat horse hockey as far as I am concerned. Oh well...there is always next year....for some folks.

I like USJ by a field goal...if it isn't pouring buckets (which it may be). If USJ's air attack is stifled by rain, like the forecast predicts I like DA by 14. That running game for DA is a bear (pun intended).

Hahahaha...that many USLP's just is what it is. I know that L stings but stop lashing out when someone states the obvious. Anyone else notice that when USJ didn't get the Dub that officials lost their gig? Wow...just wow.

6 unsportsmanlike penalties? Wow...very indicative of a bad team culture.

Props to JCS! Upset Weekend!!!

TSSAA should waive transfer requirements, this is clearly an exception. And yes, Joris Ray should summarily be dismissed. LET EM PLAY!!!!!!

I'm giggling a little at the ones who felt they needed to speak up. I don't believe I mentioned anyone's name specifically.

(eyeroll) right back atcha Hoss.

Yeah, and the situation was the same. MRBS shut down the football program and the athletes transferred...except they all paid tuition since there are no scholarships. Nice try though.

I wonder if TSSAA will allow student transfers from SCS schools into the smaller county private schools. It would solve 2 problems...#1 it would allow the student athletes the opportunity to play, #2 it would level the playing field for those schools who don't have boosters who recruit athletes. Sauce for the goose so to say.

Curiously, how do some schools with close to 1,000 students still play DII-A. Is it high school enrollment numbers or total student enrollment? Might help explain some of the dominance of some programs over others.

You are poking a wasp nest, but I know exactly what you are getting at.

Prayers for a safe and successful surgery Reitz. That back was giving you fits last time I saw you. We hate giving the W even more, but this is our world now.

I couldn't agree with you more. Thanks for the well wishes, same to the Lions...we were looking forward to a good spirited contest with you guys. Best of Luck to you during this plagued season!

Although it is a small school and the hallways are shared between classes, I find myself asking that same question...very frustrating. I'm sure it has to do with contact tracing and fears of liability.

I can assure you it will be.

Games off due to positive COVID test...not on football team...not on coaching staff... Just some random middle school staffer. It'll be a miracle if any more games are played... This also means no Trinity Christian game next weel either. 2 weeks self quarantine.

Gimme the Bruins to cover. They recruit better in Jackson.

Bout time. I love upstarts and underdogs.

There is a specific allowance for both visitors and Home teamers. Not sure of the numbers, but our stadium isn't that big so I assume the allowance won't be too big. Glad there is a season right now, if the fear mongers don't get us canceled we will be lucky. Every Friday might be like musical chairs though. MH is a tough competitor, they always play with a chip on their shoulder.
