SP heavy favorite to win the gold

LMBO, ok..... How are we the heavy favorite? Anyone in 1A circles know that Huntingdon is the favorite. They have size, and a lot of speed.

I was watching as an unbiased football fan . Let me give my perspective on the spots . If I was S Pitt I wouldn't even mention spots again. S Pitt got ridiculous spots all night long . Go back and watch it again with unbiased eyes . The Whitwell fans were going crazy . I would be highly suprised if some refs aren't reprimanded . I thought the spot you guys keep mentioning was close and I couldn't see it from my angle very well but I felt that there were four s Pitt spots that were unbelievable to the point I felt there was some bias in the game from the refs . What a great game played by both sides though and a great atmosphere . Two hard nosed throw back teams . I do agree with others though I think both teams are going to have to find a way to get a little more inventive with their passing game . This S Pitt team is not the S Pitt powerhouse teams of the past in terms of speed and big play ability but they are very tough in the box . I've watched Whitwell against Trousdale and now S Pitt. That 31 is a stud ! 

I'm trying to think if we ever had a 4th down play where we got a better spot than we deserved. I didn't see it yesterday in the replay.

It was bad on both sides.....Very bad...Petty was short on the 4th and 2. 

Agree 100% with both statements - bad for both sides and the 4th and 2 - I think ref on the sideline marking the ball had a lazy eye

If they can't run again for whatever reason I believe y'all take it. I picked you the first time. 

GB is my pick also.

I was looking at the photos inside the article on the times free press website and saw a photo of a face mask hold by a WW runner on a defensive SP player.  I wonder if that happened a lot on that last drive to help break tackles, just sayin.

If you notice, we said that the spots were ridiculous for both teams. The 4 the down one was probably the one that could have cost one team or the other the most. But I think everyone agrees it was bad both ways.

Agree 100%

LMBO, I rewatched it yesterday on the replay. There were some spots during the game where it looked like SP or Whitwell gained 6 yards and it was marked as 5 or 7. However, no spot was more critical than the one on fourth down with under 4 minutes left. The Whitwell ball carrier didn't get anywhere close. I was sitting on the 40 yard line. It was short by 2 yards. That was the bad spot of the night. The correct spot and the game is over right there without the suspense of the last 3 minutes.

I'm telling ya the guy marking the spot was terrible - if he was crying he would have tears running down both shoulders

Just another thing to think about from Friday nights performance for both teams, and this may have already been mentioned a while back but I haven’t seen it is this: we can take into consideration that both teams were out of their normal routines because of fall break and I know in years past, at least for SP, that doesn’t bode well for precision in practice throughout the week. Obviously the opponent for that fall break makes a huge difference and we’ve played Lookout Valley several times, so sometimes you see a lackluster performance from fall break. That wasn’t the case this Friday, and any difference would’ve been felt by both teams, but my thought/observation is I wonder that if/when the rematch happens, how being back in normal routine will affect the preparation for another great game.

Great win SP

So is it true the QB that was suspended was back yesterday?
