Camden @ Huntington

[hardhead70]

Hardhead,

 

I am glad you spoke up.

 

There are few coaching staffs in West Tennessee that can compare with Huntingdon's. With all the injury problems of the last couple of years---it is truly astounding that the Mustangs have been able to succeed at all---but that's just how it goes. From 2003-2005 the Mustangs had few major injuries---and obviously in AA or A that is key. With a healthy team last year I think the Stangs would have been at the Boro---it was basically the same line as in '05 and an obvious wealth of talent at other positions.

 

I just wish these Fair Weather Fans would support the boys---it is so easy to make losing a habit. Sure Daddy's team won the Podunk bowl back in '65---times have changed. These boys are winners.

 

The memories are so short for some of these fans. Huntingdon Football has always gone in cycles---I believe Huntingdon just might have had a few bad years before this year and last year. Bear Bryant would have a hard time winning with this kind of support. I wonder if Coach Ward had to put up with this kind of criticism.

 

These boys went through a lot with last year's season, disgruntled fans, losing teammates and ex-teammates forever. They stepped up and worked as hard as any Huntingdon Team has ever worked to prepare for this year---which sure ain't over yet.

 

Go Big Blue!!

 

Somebody please give me an update on Ethan---is he done for the year?

Yes, he will be having acl surgery next wednesday.

Yes, he will be having acl surgery next wednesday.

 

Is this the same knee he hurt in the Camden game last year?

Yes

No offense by the "ol d timers" that actually did win the Podunk Bowl in '65. You guys had to tough with those leather helmets and no face masks. I'd be worried some of you might put a whoopin on me if you could chase me down pushing those walkers. /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

[hogstang]

Yes

 

 

Ethan is a great young man---it breaks my heart to here that. I hope he is keeping his head up. I know he worked so hard to come back from last year.

[Lions4ever]

Yes

 

Wasn't it an ACL tear then too? Pretty hard to rehab that much damage...Good Luck to Ethan and hopes for a healthy future.

Okay "getacluecoach" which one of the players that "should be playing more" is your son, grandson or relative? Are you the same nut that I heard was putting flyers on cars in the parking lot at Huntington FB games calling for the firing of the O Coach? It's good that you love your family, but attacking people who are not blinded by the same love is not cool. Parents always think that their kid is the best players, just ask them. If you believe that the coaches want to win and obviously in H-town's they do then you got to believe that they are going to play the best players to give them that chance.

 

I am not kin to any member on the team right now, I'm just an old fart who has played in and watched enough Huntingdon games to know that what I'm seeing right now is not MUSTANG FOOTBALL. I'll say again also I respect Mike Mansfield and Peewee. But I'll also call a spade a spade. And no I am not that person that is putting flyers out but if I could find out who it is I would be glad to help them. And hopefully Wombles could take a couple of more with him.

Speaking of cute, remember the old OC in the title game against Alcoa? Up 15 points and on their 40 yard line with 4:00 left in the 3rd Qtr. Did I mention we had two Mr. Footballs in the backfield also. We threw the ball three straight times for 3 incompletions and everyone remembers the rest of the story (nightmare). Another Gold Ball disappeared right before our eyes.

 

You want to talk about cute, I will take this guy over that guy any day!

 

And by the way who is his boy? If your talking about the tendency to spotlight one or two players in a game, well wake up fella, that has been going on for years!

 

Mansfield is doing the best he can with what he has! You take Weathers out of line up and there is no one on that offense that scares anybody. Hard to win big games with only one offensive threat. Im surprised Mansfield stayed around because he had to know these days were coming.

 

In my opinion it was the most amazing playcalled game i'd ever seen just to stay in the game so i'll politely disagree with you there. I'd rather have back the fourth down and 50 td completion to Warren and the 3rd down and 30 conversion by alcoa. How many points did we score in that game anyway. /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

You're right. I believe Alcoa had 3-4 future Mr. Football's on that team--if you count the freshman class--4 or 5 future D-1/D-1AA players(I could be wrong on this--it might be more). Didn't Warren start at Florida State as a freshman? The coaches threw everything at Alcoa but the kitchen sink!! A lot of cajones. Most exciting high school game I have ever seen--start to finish. That "cute" OC seems to be doing OK at HCHS this year!! Might be a good choice when Mansfield retires in 2020. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Ok...hold up. What in the heck is going on with this thread?? Huntingdon fans picking Camden to win...Camden fans defending Huntingdon to their own fans...Huntingdon fans bashing Huntingdon coaches, players and whoever else seems to jump in /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> I've looked forward to this thread every season for the last 4 years...always fun defending your teams honor, predicting outlandish scores, saying who is going to have a "break-out" game etc.... But some of you clowns have decided to @&*! up my world and make this the thread from the twilight zone. /mad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad.gif" />

 

Now what am I suppose to do until Friday? /bored.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bored:" border="0" alt="bored.gif" />

 

Sorry to screw ya up there buddy, but the facts are that from what has been shown so far Camden is the better team and should win this one. See, all these years ya'll thought we were being cocky, but the fact is we can tell good football from bad football over here. Right now Camden is playing good football and we simply aint .
