Week 2: Springfield at Gallatin

[TheCommissioner]

In regards to the game, I'm not sure why everyone takes it so personal. I think this match up favors Mason and his running style. I'm not taking anything away from the Springfield defense, the Springfield running backs, or anyone else. Football is most often about match ups and I simply think this one favors Gallatin.

An opinion you are certainly entitled to

I endorse this post.

 

I think a large part of the Jackets success last year versus the Green Wave was due to the fact that both games were played at Boyce Smith

Looks like its gonna be a great night for football at the Waveyard , one of my favorite venues to watch high school football. Springfield broke a long losing skid last year against the Wave , can they do it again ? The Jackets last won a game at Gallatin in 1981 , in a defensive struggle 7-6 . Don't know if the Jackets can turn the trick Friday , I didn't see it happening last year in both contests , but I was glad I was wrong. Both teams are very similar with athletes that can go the distance at any time.Its gonna be a fun night for football. Go Jackets !!

Should be a fun game. Great traditions at both schools and lots of respect. Hoping for no injuries to either side and safe trips for the good people of Springfield.

Go get the win Wave !

Springfield seemed to have Gallatin's number. It's their game to lose.

After a closer look at both teams I think Gallatin wins this one 21-14.

^^This game scares more Wave faithful than you think.

Last year, I thought after the first game that Gallatin would have won had the starting QB not been injured. I really thought that. Lots of people were wanting a rematch just like myself. Then it happened. I was thinking after listening to part of the Springfield/Clarksville game that the Yellow Jackets were either really banged up and not as good or...they would be really focused on Gallatin this time around. Especially with Gallatin wanting revenge and riding a winning streak. The later occurred as we all know. Gallatin was just flat out not as good as Springfield was last year. I think this speaks highly of Wilson who has done a good job at Springfield. He I feel is the right guy for the job as I do Williams here at Gallatin. A player told me a few days after the playoff loss that he still thought Gallatin had a better team. I told him unfortunately I disagreed. Not that year. This year, revenge has been played down and it seems to me it just is a really good contest between 2 old time foes. I think this is a hard fought slugfest between 2 teams that are getting overlooked somewhat in their respective regions. Anyway this is a different year and team. We will see what happens.

Yeah both fan bases in this game understand it is no gimme either way.....

Springfield plays real smash mouth football and it only takes two or three mistakes by Gallatin for them to put up a lot of points. Gallatin could very well do the same to us it is going to come down to who can make a couple big stops on defense would love to see the Jackets come out on top.

Go Jackets
