Not the game most of us expected but happy to walk away with the "W" at this time of the year.  MD got out to the 37 -0  lead but Miners made a good effort at a rally to close it out at 37 -20. 

Appreciated the play by play guys on livestream tonight.  Man, the main guy barely gets a chance to breath with all the sponsor promos he has to do btwn plays. Great to see Linton community supporting their team.  The prime rib special from the local sports pub about had me grabbing my car keys and making a road trip.😷   

I do have one question...what was the deal with the running clock towards the end of the game?  Obviously that rule has changed this year but first time we have been subject to it this year.  It was 37 - 14 to begin the fourth quarter, but that is when the running clock seemed to kick in - ?

 

When a team goes up by 35 it starts

Back in the day before they redid the field kids used to ho out an form the tunnel with the band for the starting lineups. I always thought it was so awesome giving five as the players ran out. (Couple times it actually hurt but wouldnt let my buddies know it). Then it was more awesome to get older an run down the tunnel.  Now they dont do it an along with few other things its just not the same.

My freshman year was 95 we actually had a straight freshman team. I mean i dont remember how many games we played, but we did have a freshman team an schedule.

sorry for double post. Linton had a freshman team i know back in 95 97.  An just because you hot alot of kids doesnt translate into wins. It always makes me shake my head when people go on about a 1A school besting like 3a school. Just cause they got more kids only 11 can play at a time.

I just asked a buddy of mine that teaches at WRV how many kids do you guys lose to Linton for football? He said 2or 3 out of every class. WRV has looked into adding football to help in keeping their kids.

Im not just saying this to be a homer, but Dan an Darren do a great job with it. Get more information listening to them on radio than you do with the live stream guys like how much time on clock, what down it is, stats, dont hardly get that with other.

Im gonna go out on a limb an say unfortunately probably not 😔

Just go with Mythical State Champs by class this season and protect the kids from further outbreak.

Rarely in state history have we seen such overwhelming favorites by class heading into the state tournament.  The playoffs are really just a formality at this point.  This might be the most predictable playoff in state history

6A - Center Grove  / They will roll thru unchallenged

5A - Cathedral / Same as above

4A - Its a 4 team race between Mt Vernon, Mooresville, East Central and Roncalli

3A - Chatard / Same as 6A and 5A

2A - Andrean / Same as 6A, 5A and 3A

1A - Lutheran / South Adams appears to be the only challenger

If Roncalli pulls it share of the weight, you will have "5" PP champs.

 

So since you have it as a 4 team race. so whats your plan just give all 4 of the teams a state title? 

Lol im gonna assume Xstar is being a little sarcastic, after all the comments last yr. An everyone knows how that turned out.

Hope your your doing well. IIWII

I meant to also say Congratulations to the Warriors, played a heck of a game an did what had to be done to win. I watched  some NK games as my nephew played 4 years there about 3 ago when he graduated, an that was probably best game I have seen them play. Came out ready to play. 

Last time Linton lost to NK in regular season they played in sectionals Linton won 44-0.

No Kingtut sighting this week?  I hope our old friend is okay.  Always look forward to his comments.  

Ya thats extremely odd. Not one comment. Hope he is is doing good.

Im glad NK was able to find a game this week. An a much better than Pike Central.  Seems like they have had a tough time being able to play.

I agree with ya Miner Pride.  The live stream has killed the attendance to games.  I mean look couple years sgo when played Mater Dei in sectionals the place was dead.  I mean before live stream that place would have been full for that game, no matter if it was 0 degrees.  If I cant watch in person ill just listen to you an Darren.  Someone who knows whats going on.

Even tho the atmosphere can still be good at times. Imo its no where near what it use to be.

I just hope its close an somewhat respectable.

I know from what i have heard from kids comming over my house, that are friends with my son say way back early summer thst kids wasnt playing csuse if this. I would just roll my eyes an lsugh an aay whatever. But i guess they knew what they was talking about.

Lol whether they are or not, it seems every year Linton is "young" team

This reminds me if Dugger

The field that Mudda posted

Hate to say it but he seems to get butt hurt alot anytime someone says something here an on the football side. I'm from Linton an seems like every time he says something I just roll my eyes

How do delete this now since I know an feel like an idiot.  An I think it's a cool idea.
