Friday can't get here quickly enough, obviously. 

You just tell Coach Watt to take it easy on us next Friday.

I'm excited about seeing the team tomorrow at this jamboree. I went by practice a few times this year. It looks like they are working hard. I am excited to be a Pirate and part of this tradition. It's very cool for sure.

Or maybe the one before that... my grandfather used to say that no one would ever live to see the world change as much. From dirt roads, mules, and hoe's, to interstate highways, planes, and farm equipment that won't fit on the highway... you didn't realize how poor you were, because your neighbor didn't have anything either, but he'd give you anything he had because that's the way people were. Life taught previous generations to handle their business no matter what... we're now teaching that society "owes" the weak minded and the soft the same rewards as those who work for what they have... pardon the rant, but it's sad.

The folks that went through WWI,  the stock market crash of '29, the dust bowl, the Great Depression and WWII are tops in my book.

There will be the Mayor on one set of stands and Indian in the other stands looking over a field at each other wondering Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

South Pittsburg,  Sequatchie,  Lookout Valley and Silverdale are all visiting teams.  Idk but that may be the sitting arrangements at the jamboree.

To show how folks were then, I had a great uncle that was a starter for John Heisman on his 1916 national championship team. He left school the following year to join the army for WWI. Granted, football wasn't the same sport then as it is now, but then people aren't the same now as they were then either.

True. We've talked about boxing, outhouses, cable TV, the weather, etc. 

We need to hear some pads popping.

I agree 100%. The main question is can the pirates stay healthy and progress each week. I'm looking forward to the Red bank game the most. They have a qb who can spin it and several good wide receiver options. It's good for the pirates to face a good passing attack team...we may just see one sometime in November...

I agree but I think Red Bank has better overall athletes and that game is on the road. Swafford is a good qb for sure
