We lost only 3 starters on each side of the ball. In theory we should be better than last year, and you guys lost a whole lot more. The problem is we haven't been healthy all preseason, and we lost more guys last night. It looks like we may be down at least 3 more starters, 2 of them on both sides of the ball. The 2 scores is if we're healthy. We're not healthy.

It was bad, and many of them after the play.

I'll say 17-13. We got pretty banged up last night. If we're completely healthy, I believe we win by a couple of scores. But it seems that we're not.

That's good for us as long as they're close to 100%, as far as SC's starter at QB, that's rather interesting.

I feel like Gville's conditioning and depth will give them an edge. However we're not at 100%. It will be interesting to see how everything shakes out. Gville 21-14.

Yes, I haven't really heard when he might be available.

Whether or not Albritton plays will be big, but Foster is capable. There's one or two more that are hurt as well. The biggest thing to me is that Gville will play a lot of guys. That could be an advantage.

I listened to the region 4-1A part (I'll listen to the rest later), and the only thing I can critique is that Clay will be really good, and it will be a dogfight when we play them. They return almost everyone.

I forgot about Hix for some reason.

Jr? What happened with Lydia?

That's quite a big limb...

The young man is a good kid and a good football player. I, personally, will miss him, but it is a valid reason and one not in his control. Not knowing exactly what McKenzie returns on the line, I believe he will help as he started for us on the D-Line last year.

I actually think it will be in April. Due to injuries and Baseball, there may not be any scrimmages.

I imagine Musgrove will will a lot of touches along with starting at LB. He's a good team player, and he's probably not as worried about his touches as you are. Not that I really know, but I think the run game will be a bigger part of the offense this coming year.

The current OC is an "outsider."

For what it's worth, we were all underclassmen as well. We'll return 8 starters on offense and 9 on defense.

Some of the parents were very involved, helping as coaches. I was told that another parent cussed all the coaches during the game at SP pretty badly right there on the sideline. I was also told that the administration didn't support the coaching staff in it, and that's why many of the coaches have left

After how things have played out, I'm anxious to see how the team, coaching, and parental dynamics play out.

I wouldn't say that was the plan. Now, I don't believe Clemons ever aspired to be HC in the first place, but stepped up at the last opening because he loves the program. I have no inside info, but my gut feeling tells me that things have transpired like they have because Jackson needs HC experience and Clemons was getting ready to step away after another year or two anyway. So, things have aligned like they have. For the record, and I don't know that he's been told enough, I appreciated the 3 years that Clemons was my position coach in high school, and I'm thankful he was my son's HC for 4 years. Also, I'm looking forward to my other son playing for Jackson for, hopefully, 4 years. But, I've yet to see anything official on Jackson though.

He's a Gville alum who played on the teams in the early 2000's

Personally, I think he may be doing it for some HC experience. What better place to get that experience than home? I could be wrong, but if it is Jackson, I don't see it being long term. I'm fine with that. Plus, he'll look really good with what we have coming back next year.

We had 3 coaches in the 80s who weren't alumni.

Same here, and it would be about the only reason that Clemons stepping down would make sense. But, at this point, it's just hearsay and rumors.

You too. Enjoy the trip, and I got a feeling you'll enjoy the game.

Don't believe I'll make Cloudland.
