Whitwell picked up Signal Mtn to replace the Jasper game.

That's a shame. Could have kept all the money in Marion County and only drive 7-8 miles, instead of 25 miles and send alot of money to Hamilton County.

One problem with playing North Jackson, or any Alabama team, is that they are on a different 2 year cycle than Tennessee is. Whitwell only picked them up for 1 year. So a continuous home and home could work, but it could be difficult to arrange. I know we used to play Alabama teams, so I'm not sure when the cycle changed, or if there even was a cycle then.

We always played Bridgeport and Stevenson.  SP shares city limits with Bridgeport.  Playing them was a moral imperative.

Sounds like the Oneida / Scott debate. Haven’t played in 40 years but folks are dead set against it because of when they did. SMDH also. 

Crow, Old Pirate says these youngons are like the skillet slinger’s deceased chawawaha when it got into OP’s stash of blue pills. Mostly ran around chasing his azz barking and drooling.

Old Pirate went out on that mountain when my buddy Don coached. Pirates beat them like a stray rabid dog. Course that ended that!

Since they went to Whitwell - don't see why they would not do a Home / Home - going to SP first? If there is a worry about one bailing out - do a split gate at both.

You sure have a big interest in NJ. Why so interested? Maybe I missed something.

The issue with NJ is getting them to come to SP in the past.  If SP goes down there and play close or beats them, they won't come to SP. 

Yous right, can’t trust them Fellers jest down under. You knows the good Bridgeport folkes mostly don’t like them, been that way fer decades!

Oh, I remember always playing them, I also remember when we played a few other Alabama teams from time to time. I just don't know when the 2 year "cycle" years changed or if there was such a thing back then.

I also remember that a tetanus shot after the game was an imperative as well.

Fellers, let Old Pirate learn you youngons a thang of two. Jasper played NJ, quit playing them cause they discovered them Fellers from down under were way more devious than theys was! Why hasn’t Jasper played NJ in nearly 3 decades?

There really does need to be a way to keep the SP-Jasper game going.  It is also complete bogosity that Jasper quit playing Whitwell.   I think the school board should mandate the 3 schools play each other.

Is you’d gone socialist! Mandating? Ifin theys goin to mandate anything, theys should have made Jasper play Friday! A Feller can’t walk both sides of the street at the same time!

I am all for making Jasper eat dirt.

Let old PP68 learn you a thang or two. NJ quit playing us. We handed them their first loss in school history when they came to Jasper and Pumpy Tudors steamrolled them. The following year we hung their first loss at home on them. We had an All State qb that was on kickoffs and just so happened that a NJ kid that never played picked a fight with him and he got tossed before playing a snap. We put in a 2nd string qb and won that one I believe 30-28. (That 2nd string qb led us to a state title a couple years later though.) They had no interest in playing anymore. Would they play now?? I don't know.

Maybe. Maybe not.
