I think the game will come down to a special team play or a boneheaded penalty. Meigs has home field advantage so there already up by 7. Either way, win or lose, this should make both teams better.  Utmost respect  to Coach Fitzgerald and Meigs. 

That to me is what makes this game great, its 2 highly competitive teams, with 2 quality coaches. Last year your coach gained alot of respect from me as well. Your offensive play calling was really good. And yes it's not like the playoffs where losers are out. Next week barring no injuries after our game we are both better for it.

I do feel home field is definitely an advantage for us, just like I felt like it was for you last year. Pretty sure we both havent lost a home regular season game in a while. Not sure our numbers but it's probably around 4 to 5 years since weve lost a regular season home game.

Last time we lost a regular season home game was Oct. 30th 2015. We lost too Bledsoe 35-27. I once saw a thing someone posted on twitter about which field was harder to play at. It was done with a voting system. I believe we barely edged you guys out for the win in that category.

I wonder how much limited fan attendance affects this? I've often said this year gone field doesn't matter as much to those that are limiting.

Excited about the opportunity to finally watch the Pirates play a game. There isn’t any ticket drama with this one is there? I went up the road to the Marion and Bledsoe game last night. 

Bassy,  had I known you would be needing a ticket I would have gotten you one my friend.  What game of the Pirates did you see last?  I know it's been a while since you've seen us play.

It's tough to win in Decatur and had it been any other year(with all of the issues we've had to deal with) I probably would have said it is a "toss-up; that being said I'll give Meigs the advantage by 7 points.

Gave this question a little more thought, and I'd say It doesn't affect us much at all. People that are showing up to games are either have a kid on the team and are already loud, a die hard supporter like myself , or not skeert enough of the covid for it to make a difference.

Not sure friend, not sure if more tickets are available. The last day to buy them was supposed to have been yesterday the 2nd.

Can call Meigs high school Monday for info.

One big thing for SP is for the first time we have a kicker. So, if there are 4th and 5 or so from inside the 20 I look for us to line one up. Dude is good for a freshman.

Well shoot. Would love to watch this game in person. Do you guys stream the game on NFHS?
