Eaglets?? Did it have to be Eaglets?

I think we will be the best team you have faced so far this season and we feel like Hampton will be the best team we play ALL season . Hampton looks very good all the way around. Good backs and receivers physical up front as usual and a little more versatility on offense than what we've seen from the Bulldogs in the past.

we're coming to play to win and regardless of the outcome I can promise you the bulldogs will know we've been there. I always look forward to seeing mike n pujo and you guys just wish I didn't have to hate yuns for a couple hours every year! lol..

Do you guys still like to air it out most plays? I know y'all have a good tradition of passing the ball, but if you're gonna have a snowballs chance against teams like Hampton, you're gonna have to get a running game.  Defensively, all of your 11 will have to be bugle eyed every play.  The dogs are very fleet footed at every skill position.  To me, Hampton won't lose a game until they are just whipped up front.  Its gonna take a team that can sustain long drives and score.  If their O is on the field alot, then its gonna be next to impossible to keep them from scoring.  I'd say it would be easier to strap a tiger's as% to a phone boothe :o

I got some cable and I know where there is still a phone booth....you bring the tiger!!

Pujo has probly already seen the film so I won't elaborate on our run to pass ratio I'll let him do that iffin he wants to. But we are big up front and got some speed at skill positions I feel like we're a better overall team this season tHan we were last year. We miss the Allstate QB but we got several kids stepping up to fill those shoes. I would have liked to have had another game or 2 to sharpen things up before we played the best team on our schedule though.

I never have hated em. Mike has been real good to us. Even the one time we've beat him he was the same ole mike after the game. Of course he wasnt technically the head man then. Alot of respect for him and Hampton down here. Now I'll hate em for a few hours friday but that's it. If Hampton beats us friday I'll be pulling for them to win 2A unless of course we run into em in the playoffs.

You have to understand we're neighbors. Our kids run around with theirs. Mike used to be our coach. It's an intimate rivalry. I'll say one thing, its not as heated as it was 10 years ago. Me and pujo used to have some rounds but we've got along great the last 5 years. The pain of losing stings but it's just not worth getting bitter towards people when we may need each other when it counts. A lot bigger things are going on in the world today.

    • Agree 100 percent 
    • A lot of people don’t realize how valuable JMO was. QB, safety, punter and holder on pat’s. Kid did it all. I fully believe if he was healthy Dburg would have made it to the ship last year. 
    • If Dyersburg quarterback who is also starting safety hadn’t got hurt it would of another blowout 
    • For perspective the county school I’m associated and graduated from only has 7,600 people in the entire county with a median age of roughly 47. That’s not very many 14-18 year olds to choose from. I think the football team had 25-28 kids or around there.  On the other hand Shelby County has 916,000+ with a median age of 36. This isn’t just about Shelby county, but all the big ones with huge economic advantages!  An urban/rural split would benefit tons of smaller schools that have to compete with counties with 120x the amount of people. Especially the ones who can pick and choose their players from a pool like that!   I also agree with Pujo about charter and magnets and they will eventually be phased into the private divisions because it is obviously an advantage plus all the funding! Add that county schools can’t go recruit outside of their county like charters and magnets! 
    • They should be starting next week and go from there.  They never do Spring Practice in April
