At least until 7:30 friday night. /ohmy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" />

 

It is fun to watch a good ballgame, not one with injuries and a run up score. Miracles do happen and I am hoping for one tomorrow!

[w1ldcat]

I hope both teams do well and sustain NO injuries!

 

 

I don't want anybody to get hurt either. Just would like to see a spanking put on the union army by the confederates.

I think Cap and I are on the same page. But I really wanna hear from Comp, I assume he'll answer when he gets back on.

 

I'm all for spreading around playing time (to players who earn it), and the whole team thing. I'm not saying to cut off the carries from the other guys. But Comp said the total season carries will be something like 230 to 145. I just think those numbers should be reversed, in favor of your star player. 145 is plenty of carries for a backup, so he'd still get a lot of action. Carries may not matter to college recruiters, but I just think it'd be nice for school records and such, to have your star player end the season with more carries than guy behind him.

 

I am with you. However, before confusion occurs, I think the 145-230 ratio was between Taylor Fletcher and Keenan Shepherd, the 2 top rushers in the conference who will be competing for the rushing title (and possibly conference POTY). Knowing the work Taylor has put into this season, I think he deserves extra carries into the second or third quarter. I understand that he will get recruited regardless, but anyone would like to win a personal award or two during their senior year, especially after all the work you put into it. That's not being selfish either, he will say all the right things but he has earned the chance to get a few extra carries and improved numbers.

After I reread that, you're right. I'll tell ya, if you read things fast enough, Shepherd and Bobeye get all mixed up!I'm just saying, that Fletcher does deserve a few extra carries. Conference rushing leader looks good an a resume. He's a good kid who's worked hard, so I say give him a few extra. Bobeye will have all next year to steal the show.

Boy Pirate your convo seems much more interesting than the one everyone ells is taking part in. I think I??™ll join you. /flower.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":flower:" border="0" alt="flower.gif" />

 

It??™s such a calming day outside??¦isn??™t the wind blowing oh so softly. I hope the two teams get a chance for a BIG group huge after the game. Isn??™t the big game tomorrow exciting? South could surprise everybody and win. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

Please people don't do what I knew you would do...and that is make this a Taylor vs Bobeye issue. We all...repeat ALL are exstatic that our cannon ball is back. And no one cares how many carries he gets. He is an assett and will help put black ink on the bottom line. So please, let's be clear on that.

 

Now as far as the rushing title, that is not the big picture. So you are the lead rushier in the MLC. So what are your numbers? In this conference if you aren't putting up 3 grand shut up. Period. The lead rusher in the state currently is somewhere around 2500 yards. Hello. Now yes, it would be nice to have some accolades to show your grandchildren and yes the mo' the better and most importantly the mo' the quicker scouts find you. Unfair? Certainly! So you get a 1000 yards...big deal. The bottom line is Fletcher is not going to hit the 2000 yard mark and because of that the scouting is slow. That's why the distance is important. If he can get a look then the tale will be told. More games more chances. Period. And so it is crucial and he is well aware of this that each time he touches the ball it is golden. He must be a caged dog getting a piece of meat. Our Offense won't allow any other regimen. We have too many mouths to feed. Granted, we could play til the end of the 3rd Q but can you imagine what the numbers would be. We are taking so much heat the way it is now we can't get them out fast enough. And still people are saying we are running up the score. So yes, Bradley, KK, and Taylor's numbers would be untouchable in that regard. And where would the scouts be? On our doorstep? KK can catch anything you throw at him...period. Bradley's first year playing varsity QB and he increases ability 100 fold each game...period. And Fletch'...draw your own summation. The score would be triple digit each game thus far. The benefit...our bench is ready for the '09 season as we speak.

 

All I can say is...it's all about the team and I can only hope someone see's the cogs and how perfectly they mesh into the system and how white hot their individual afterburners glow when they individually get to light it up. In this band of brothers it's not about the glory...it's about the guts with each number cast in pure gold instead to be machine stamped in tin as fast as you can pull the handle. Yes, numbers would be nice. Scouts at practice would be nice. But one things for sure...if and when we start seeing these people then we will know we have made an impact. What we might think is not necessasarily be what they think. After all, we are in bumpkinville.

 

So, what to do? Keep on keeping on and for as long as possible and hope that sooner or later the right person will see what we have to offer. All in a days work. Rebel Nation.

Nobody is making an issue between the two. I'm just a fan of splitting carries something in the neighborhood of 60/40. I don't have the exact numbers, so it may very well be 60/40. If so then hey, forget I ever said anything about.

 

If South is putting in their second string and still taking heat for the scores, then we're in a cant-win situation. People won't be happy until we start our JV team. Actually, I gave myself an idea...

 

Reverse strategy! We start our JV and see what the score looks like at halftime. Then we play our starters in the 2nd half and see if they can catch up. It's a game within a game! If it works, I say we keep the mojo going into the playoffs!!

Where did you go to school Tn High? What exactly is a "Big group Huge"? I will assume you mean hug. I think the game will be more exciting than everyone anticipates. North is playing up to and exceeding their expected potential, are you all? North still has the same defense that neutralized you guys a couple of weeks ago. I hope everyone keeps knocking North, and that they (the Raiders) come out and knock the pants off everyone who doubts them. I might as well join the bandwagon. After all, North is just a AA school playing in AAAA.

[rebelrebelman]

There could not be a 6 win team that scares me any less. Their school is across from Mamma's House.

Haha. Are we exceeding expectations? I don't think so. But hey, that was good enough to beat the Almighty Raiders who, at the time were "#10 in the State" /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> So say what you want to my friend. Although you all are having an impressesive season givin your alls past team, you will be no match for South. My prediction: SS-56 SN-12. But the South JV will still out score you all in the second half. Oh well. Back to reality for you all.
