Wouldn't that be GREAT now that the nasty chat is over!

This is really not a game to talk about but it is Week 8. Eastern is on a rebuilding track I hope. It was fun watching them just a couple of years ago and I hope they reach those goals very shortly. Linton can not afford injury and still have South Putnam left. Tough game for Linton this one. I can just hear Dorothy saying Auntie Emm oh my. What do we do now? I'll call Linton by35 and a short game. Any thoughts?

Never done this before in awhile. I believe in jinx. With NK its not even that. They could beat the Miners straight up and I wish them well. I say 42-20 Miners

Warriors have great kids on their teams always have. Record seems really good until you look at the records of teams they have played. I think they are really over their head this year with the Miners. Hope no one gets hurt either side. Any thoughts?

OMG Im serious. Linton needs to make statements closing out. Why? Mater Dei is ranked lower now. Look at the teams they lost too. Good Programs! Linton is not even on their radar for the sectionals. Its just an educated thought/opinion. Why do folks berate guys opinions is another matter I guess.

Well said and thanks.

HELP! How do we close this thread? Its amazing where it went. I started it somebody close it!

Somehow you have mistaken me. I don't know why either team would not want to play each other. Two great teams, coaches, and fans. Very similar in fact. Heck I love the matchup! Especially the SR whole sports complex. I can say I find it hard to believe the game was canx because of a lack of competition. More like wrong week in the schedule, travel costs, time or other considerations. I honestly believe the programs just couldn't work it out and agreed to amicably let it expire but sadly.

Jets I don't believe heresay on anything any more. Show us the Non-Renewal signed doc. Oh that's right you dont have it I can already see the next attack format! LMAO

Pull up their record on Harrels and they haven't won a sectional ever have they? I dont dislike Boonville great kids. But a game playing a really run of the mill 4A team I see no value. Southridge has proven their a quality team. Saying this who knows they might beat the Miners by 30 tomorrow. Doesn't change my thoughts. And you did ask why so I answered.

7. Linton

I agree Rex. Adding Rockville (oops) PH is not a bad deal. I just wished that game would have replaced Boonville is all. I don't know though, introducing Juggernauts is a scary thought! LOL....GO MINERS!

Lot to be said there. No prob replacing NV for PH I get it. But if Park Heritage is the replacement for Southridge sumpins terribly wrong.

I tend to agree with you on dropping NV. Reasons are a lil diff though. Miners are 2A now Falcons still 1A. Just a few years ago it was a very meaningful series both being 1A. Cayuga is a long trip but Boonville is longer and I see no benefit in that game either as value added playing a 4A school. Lotta better matchups out there but a lot of bigger, closer schools can't seem to happen.

Linton 4-0 Boonville 0-3. Linton has played a pretty good schedule to date. Hasn't been blowing teams out until last week against NV. I might add I think NV is really having a bad year and I wish them luck soon. On the other hand Boonville has played a pretty good schedule as well. Never being blown out and a close one with NK last week. If the Miners take them lightly with most of their players suited up it could easily be. Any Thoughts?

I can't see Linton giving up 32 either. Maybe 20? Might be all the Falcons need to pull it off. But if I were a betting man....Well I shall refrain.

It is certainly worth the time. Great time to get the offense scoring in first half. Great time to work on pass defense, special teams etc. And that's not a given. Who knows what can happen in Cayuga! NV is still NV and a well coached team I might add. GO MINERS!

All I wanna see is like 24pts in the first half. We shall see.

Thats how Linton has been winning. All 2nd half. I hope its not due to conditioning?

I will say this Dan put up the entire game profile on the lintonian.com, Maybe I shouldn't say that but what a recap. Interesting and Thanks Dan.

Some of the best sammiches you'll ever find at a HS football game. Been a long tradition. If ya ever watch a video thats the smoke you see from the grills.Ribeyes and various other great stuff. I understand now the student body does it as a great fundraiser. Watching from your lawn chair you brought from the end zone. Ribeye sammich, soft drink in hand, watching both stands go crazy, It don't get no better than that at the Roy. One common goal....just to watch HS football.

Not that Im aware of. Although Im in NC I still have kin in Linton. One of which is a WR on the Miners.

The Miners did the same with Sullivan. Both of them are very good football teams (Southridge and Sullivan) but its very early in the season. I hope its not a conditioning thing. Miners really need to start generating 1st half scores. As teams become more conditioned and cooler weather that edge will be gone. Monrovia is yet another very good team so if you wait till the 2nd half to turn it on you might just run out of clock. We all have seen that happen before. Just a thought.

The season has just started so early Polls mean nothing. However I see in 2A the AP has Mater Dei at #2 and Linton at #10. It COULD be a very interesting year if both teams progress accordingly. Just a thought.

Im a displaced Miner in Caroliner. I follow my Miners rabidly. I understand some folks have passed that kept it rollin. I would love to step up but heck Im in NC. I know the Program but can't see or feel the heartbeat. I couldn't do that. Need someone who was there, smelled the Ribeyes, watched a game, win lose or draw. Maybe those times are over.
