Judging from this game tonight, the rock pile will be the place to be to watch some good football the next 2 weeks!!!

Congrats to the Blue Devils on a decisive victory tonight.  It was a great atmosphere at Vandy.  Posty, Westmoreland is gonna get their arses kicked.

Judging by what happen to y'all and knowing the vanilla scheme we ran at you boys, I think not but time will tell.

I was pulling for the patriots but I sorta figured the blue devils would certainly have much bettr lineman and LB's than we have,, anyway this sets up a good in town rivalry between the schools

I wouldn't consider it a rivalry yet, the game was never a game ....Heritage was outclassed and out manned at every position, and coaching, except for QB ......heritage didn't even have a first down in the first half , it seemed to me the devils could have beat them even worse if that would have been the agenda but it clearly was not. Got to compete before I would consider this a rivalry, but I am sure heritage fanatics will just deflect this defeat and claim their belief in their basketball team, which I believe will compete, but as I think we are all seeing when u move up a division the level of athletes at every position are bigger, faster, stronger and takes a little bit to become adjusted to that. So keep head up Patriots and keep improving and hopefully upset a couple teams and make the playoffs.

Yep, the Devils got the Patriots on the gridiron.   I think this new match-up between cross-town schools, in any sport, is considered more a rivalry than Portland or perhaps Greenbrier by the student-athletes, more so than the alumni do.  While those are undeniably tradition-soaked rivalrys in a historical sense, their luster will fade as this new one grows. 

 

We'll save the comments about basketball and the Patriot's bigger, faster, stronger basketballers for another thread in about a month or so.
