Yea well our fans were a little bit disappointing as well. Burley stadium lacks a certain enthusiasm that it used to have. Maybe it left along with the stone BURLEY sign in the far endzone, Coach Kiker's Bartlett Pear trees, and the smell of fresh cut grass every Friday.

Geez Charlie, a little melodramatic don't ya think. My guess is it leaves at halftime when we're stomping a mudhole in our competition. Maybe it left with our traditional rivals in the IMAC...we do kinda miss having MoWest to hate on.It definitely wasn't missing at Burley against SG and we made a fine showing against WG over at the Range. I think maybe we need a season or 2 to develop some new rivalries and it would help if our conference foes had a better fan turnout....it was kinda pathetic that CG had a better fan turnout at Burley than CD. Personally, my enthusiasm left this week when I couldn't get a Green and White dog at the concession stand....now thats tragic.

 

What happened to "Kikers Kannon".... I miss the BOOMS!!!!!!!!!!!! Now that was a nice touch this year!

I don't believe the TSSAA allows it in the playoffs

LoL...I'm not trying to be a downer but it's just the feeling I got while watching the game, especially in the beginning. I would say 30-40% of the home stands were empty at the start of the first quarter. It translates onto the field; the players feed off of the energy of the crowd. But after a few big hits by our defense (in particular a Mr.Quarles and 44, sorry bud don't know your name but keep flyin around to the ball) the greene devils created their own energy. Good job Defense, I called you out and you showed me up...thank you. Spradlin showed great heart on his big touchdown run, he basiclly willed his way into the endzone; great effort by that kid. Barb you're right, Burley was electric the night of the SG game and it was awesome. But do you think that last Friday even compared to that night? It's the playoffs folks, have some PRIDE!

As for the cannon, I have never got to see it in person but have heard it over the radio, and I think it's a pretty cool idea. Maybe we can build a blowtorch out of a propane tank that spits massive flames into the air since we're the devis :thumb: ! I've seen it done before, and think it would be a crowd pleaser.

Maybe T$$AA could come up with a few more regulations. I think there might be a loophole left out there where a team could possibly do something fun and creative :thumb: . Congrats guys...glad to see it's still about the kids. How bout the schools start instituting their own rule where we keep OUR gate money from playoff games until they fix a flawed system. The Z Plan? Really? Obviously plans A-Y didn't work very well either; makes me lose nearly all confidence in any decision left to the "powers that be".

I think the 7:00 start had people showing up late....I have not seen a specific rule for the play-offs that would pertain to the cannon...maybe someone could help me out. Would the rule apply say to Cherokee and their little horse or Boone's fireworks? Could be a liability issue. It was uber-cool though.... I like your blow torch idea...maybe a cool name for our field. Burley stadium is bordered by a funeral home and a cemetary...surely we could call the field some cool nick-name...like Purgatory or something.On a high note, its good to see the student section show some spirit... :thumb:
