EZ, we have no chance.....

Portland is so loaded that I'm not sure how my Blue Devils are going to keep up. They are at home too.

 

I'm just glad this isn't a region game, because I'm just not sure what we are going to do against such a well rounded team as Portland. If we were at home, there would be a chance, but we are at Portland and they rarely lose at home.

 

We need to look for a moral vicyory in this one. Keep it respectable.

Okay dandy, which is it? You seem to have forgotten your earlier post. I'm looking forward to another great game, but hopefully this time we will have more points on the board! I'm just glad they're playing Friday night this year. I work nights and haven't been able to see the Thursday night games they have been playing. Good luck Blue Devils! (I hope you'll need it. )

I think most people think the game is on Thursday. It was listed as such in the Tennessean and a couple of other places.

As far as I know it's being played Friday night, but they'll probably change it to Thursday so I can miss it again.

For this year, the game was moved back to Friday. I don't know why everyone still has the feeling it's early, maybe because it has been for the last two years.

 

I think the Friday game will work out better for everyone, especially the early morning workers, the students and the teachers.

This game is always good. I've seen WhiteHouse this year, but not Portland, so I'm not gonna make a call- wish I could be there though... good luck to both teams

I am going against my feeling and picking White House I hear they are playing very well. Good luck Coach Porter and the Devils.

Funny how most everyone on this thread is picking WH, but in the Big One's contest, Portland has garnered 58% of the vote!

PPride, My 2nd post was tongue in cheek.

 

OK OK OK........ Imho, we are better at receiver, at the DB positions (region player of the year is back) and probably have the overall speed advantage this year. We are experienced on the offensive and defensive lines. Our QB is a senior and played a lot of football over the last two years. We are strong at running back. Our punt and kickoff return people have the ability to make plays.

 

Last years team couldn't make a defensive read if their life depended on it and WH still managed to win. Portland relys on deception to confuse a defense. I just don't think this years version of WH will have the trouble last years team did reading the opposing offense.

 

We have a few weaknesses, but I'll let those slide for now. The first quarter will be big, as it has the last few years.

This should be a head-knockin' game. It always is, but I think the Blue Devils will pull it off. But then again, they really, really, really, really want to beat us.

 

Don't think they can, but I can think of a few teams that'd like to be there to see them do it.
