Macon County vs Goodpasture

[swanson71]

Gordonsville would of been a good team to play but it's not like you can just go out and cherry pick teams. For all I know we might could of picked up Gordonsville but Jo Byrns is who we played and they've been just as succesful and probably even more so than Gordonsville the past few years.

The only reason Jo Byrns has been more successful than Gville in the past few years is because they play nowhere the caliber teams that Gville does every year. Jo Byrns got a small taste of it when they did play Macon County, so what if they had to play TC every year? Gville plays FCS, SC, and TC every year and coming out with a 7-3 record is really good considering the calliber teams they play. Jo Byrns had an easy road to the state championship last year, and what happened in that game? Gville is on a different level than Jo Byrns...

Who's the 7 teams gville beat? I honestly don't know who they play other than the ones you just named off minus your in county rival.

RBS. WATERTOWN, CLAY CO., JACKSON CO., MONTEREY, PICKETT CO., AND WESTMORELAND. USUALLY WATERTOWN, MONTEREY, CLAY CO., WESTMORELAND, play good ball coupled with TC SC and FC

That's a tough schedule for any 1A school

With all that being said I doubt that Gordonsville would of wanted to play us week zero anyway. They would of started the season with Macon,Smith,FCS and Trousdale. That would give them four tough games to start the season off with. And you are right Gordonsville does play three higher caliber teams than Jo Byrns usually does but they also consistantly lose to those three teams though. If Jo Byrns played Gordonsvilles schedule they would go 7-3 and lose to South Pitt in the play offs just like Gordonsville does. If you wanted to say Gordonsville and Jo Byrns were on the same level I would agree but saying Gordonsville is on a different level is a pretty big stretch.

Macon County is a program that is on the rise. They will have a good season. I was at the game against Trousdale, and the Jackets have a good team, but Macon has a better team that what they brought to the field. The key to Macon's success this year is going to be consistancy. They have to be able to control special teams for sure, this is where they started going down hill last week. I am going to say that Macon will get back on track and pull out the win this week. It will be a good game. I will say. Macon 42 GP 38

The difference between Gville and Jo Byrns is that Gville would give themselves a chance of winning. Gville and SC went into double o/t and last years game was a lot closer than the score indicated, hard hitting and close nearly the whole game. Last year against TC 2 points seperated them. I never said Gville goes 7-3 every year, but if they did it would be a good record considering the caliber FCS, TC, and SC are. Gville and FCS are probably split in the games they've played in the last decade. Yes, Jo Byrns and Gordonsville both probably would lose in the playoffs last year to South Pitt, but there is a difference in losing 41-6 and 32-21...

We can also go back to the 2009 season and see how Gordonsville did against South Pitt or even go back to 2008 when both played Trousdale and see the comparitive scores if that's what you want to do. Your arguement about Gordonsville being on another level just doesn't hold water.

Better team than showed up last week? Are you trying to say they couldn't get up for that game?

Big rivalry as this is and you can't get pumped up. They were improving at the end of last season,

but I can't see that much difference, then & now.

BTW, heard on the grapevine that there was a bonus of $10K for Pemberton if he beat TC. Heard

anything of that nature on the hill?
