You would from a players perspective  I know, but trust me from a old man!s perspective  who had seen a lot of bad football from H2O. I and a lot of other old timers were optimistic that year that we could hang with them and possibly pull an upset!

How is your brother doing on the plateau?

LRDAO... The jailhouse fellars like to try and spew a bunch of mess to get the spot light off them.  Ole bush hog and lying lips is great at it.  You think im joking but im not.

He’s doing great. Put on about 25 lbs since HS, bulked up pretty good. Hoping to get some significant clock in the spring.

I’m not fooled. I believe Marion is a year away from being able to beat an H2O or Meigs type team, but I believe they will compete.

So Meigs can't keep up? H20 by 45 over Jasper

That’s crazy and won’t happen.

That game was 49-15 with MC scoring 14 in each of the first three quarters compared to 8 points by Watertown.  If you were familiar with that team they essentially had 3 or 4 backs who alternately had good weeks.  They had 3 backs who had over 1000 yards for the season.  To be honest your team wasn’t in the same league so it isn’t like we were fortunate to have one player step it up.  As for this year it should be close.  MC definitely has the talent to win and they played probably the worst 3 quarters I’ve seen this year last week so hopefully they have that out of their system.

Well there is old 10bears in the flesh. How you been doing big guy? Still hitting those weights pretty heavy?

And i get what you mean, a lot of people had a false sense of security from our record, and heck at times I was probably one. I just remember watching the really good Marion teams thinking we were just a step down. That’s not to say we didn’t go down there confident, and weren’t playing to win, but we knew it was an uphill battle. And as many seniors as we had, there were a lot of sophomores that year who played significant roles on that team especially late in the year when we were banged up, can’t help but think that only helped them down the road.

How about 300 pound FB

That’s what I’ve been hearing.  Who is that kid and what grade?

That’s good and I know he’ll do well! Both of you guys were great players and from everything I heard better kids. 
 

I’ll never forget your brother and the young Webster kid coming to my house as junior high kids trying  to sell me some kind of fundraiser item and me asking them were they collecting for the cheerleading team. Both blushed and really didn’t know how to take me!

 

I’m hoping the youngest will do just as much for the program as y’all did!

There ain’t no doubt that what you see now has been in the making since about 2013. You could constantly see improvement each year!

You’re right. Just like how a couple of the guys on the team this year got major clock as sophomores on the team you’re talking about.  
 

Being apart of really good teams as an underclassman that just didn’t get the job done is a great motivator.
