You sure, I thought it was 28...oh well. After rereading that, it may have sounded snarky. It was not meant to be disrespectful. Again, read back in your response, it could be taken like i'm being snarky. I will say, however, that you have to admit that the pressure is on GS, no? I am on your side now! I want the PAC Brethren to bring that hardware south! It isn't often I say go Titans, but for the next few weeks, that is what it is going to be...go Titans indeed. Lawrenceburg has got to be tired of going to the regional and losing to the PAC....chances are, it will be 3 years in a row for them. Again, don't hear any disrespect. This is the problem with words on a screen....this would be a better conversation in the parking lot saturday afternoon over kool aid and hot dogs.

Indeed, good point. Fact is that historically speaking, this is a "normal" thing for Lawrenceburg. GS would like to get a similar tradition started, like that of Lawrenceburg's (or ours, or yours), they have a crap ton to lose. It would be awful to lose when they have what they have. Coach Wilk said the same thing of the game....pressure isn't on us, it is on GS.

I remember it being Friday. I mean I travelled to all those games, guess I have slept too much since then....point remains. We travelled 3 hours for every game except sectional and waxed these opponents.

Nah, in 2019 we beat them 28-0 after travelling 3 hours on a Friday night.

I figure with this game being on Saturday, everybody will be good and ripe by kickoff.

It doesn't matter. The idea of "we have to keep GS off the field" is a worthless thought. GS scored 60 pts on Southridge in 13 minutes in the regular season. Our DBs have to play flawlessly. D can't get bigger, they have to get meaner. We had 165 lb D lineman 15/20 years ago that committed homicide every play on guys that were 100 lbs bigger. That is the attitude needed Friday.

Yup, great idea--then you get burnt on a 9 route that goes to the house. I'll pass on that....#18 would love some of that action as would the 270 lb lineman.

If we are doing predictions, they will let us have the ball, just as we will give them the ball if we win the toss.

Indeed....but if you were really good at this, who will be throwing this said pass???? The game all expected and most wanted.....I'm looking forward to heading to Jack Jewell.

I will get to observe for myself this Friday night, but how fast is Rory? Actual 40 time? In the objective numbers, where is he at?

I think that may have been a Patriot worm virus? No?

He's alive!!!!! I was afraid that you hadn't recovered from that beat down we gave you in 2019 (had to throw that in there!). In all seriousness, glad to see you back and that you are ok.

Jacob Wetzel had to take a kids pants in 2019, his got ripped off.

Ok, really? This is all we get? How about the story?

GS by 28, only because it is sectional, if it wasn't.....GS by a million.

The clock was the problem. If the clock operator would have paid attention to what he was doing, that GS TD before the half wouldn't have happened. Us fumbling at the 5 didn't help either. It's 8th grade football. Wins and losses don't matter much, but it is fun to win.

That was 7th grade. I think it was Tell City that cancelled the 7th grade game and they picked you guys up. Frankly, I would have rather have played Memorial and had a competitive game that beat the snot out of TC, that doesn't really help anybody.

Our 8th grade team was only beaten twice--by GS, by a measly score, and we shouldn't have lost that one, that was a bad deal, and then the other loss was to Washington, their 8th grade is good.

Agreed, the problem is that many schools don't develop a QB, often because they don't know how or it is just to hard. You don't get a Jay Cutler, Brady Allan, Colson Montgomery (he would have been really good if he stayed in football) but once in a generation. You have to develop the "normal" kids and many programs just find it too hard--those programs will get left behind. Before our regular season game against GS, a buddy of mine said "we need to do the best we can to keep the ball out of their (GS) hands". My reply was that it flat out doesn't matter when they drop 60+ on Southridge in 13 minutes! LEARN TO DEFEND THE PASS! No longer will a high school program be successful without throwing the ball well with a developed QB. 4 times a game won't cut it. You can't simply say, "who is the most athletic senior we have?" Make him the QB! Set sail to fail..... Now with that said, we did it in 2019. In 15 games, Cole probably didn't throw the ball 25 times, but we had one of the best defenses in the state (points allowed).

For the current GS team it doesn't matter. They can and have literally scored 60 points in 13 minutes.

I find this problematic. He is on the coaching staff at L'burg, surely if something bad happened we would have heard. Speak up bro, you are missed!

This is something I have been wondering. Is he ok?

indeed, and it could have been one of the most heartbreaking moments for us. I remember that night like it was yesterday, I turned to my wife (when they set for the FG) and said "is this really how this is going to end"? That team had been talking about Lucas Oil since they were in the 7th grade. Two of those boys stood in my kitchen as 13 year olds and said "you will be watching us in Lucas Oil when we are seniors". I'm glad they were right, it was fun.

You can't let your guard down, even when it will likely be a 40+ point differential.....in 2019 we put a running clock on GS in the regular season and the sectional game was a nail biter to the end. BTW, I am hoping for some of that in the sectional final this year!

I totally agree with this...I don't kid.
