Pittsburg by far...the kids are using plastic casing now...give me 8 w/ chilli, well done

2 great players out for the season...they have been on the injured list for some time...but other than that, yes...100%...and most definitly, we are so ready for Pitt...the Battle of 271...it was like we knew that it would come down to the last game...LE or Round Ball...mmmmmmm...we ain't no good at Round Ball...so bring it on....Buckeys by 14

Not an excuse, just the facts...when we played Carthage this year, we had several #1 guys out, including Gus Johnson...mmmmm....could that make any difference?

We will

So did we...and we look forward to doing it again next week.

Providing there are no other upsets in the district, it is a straight heads up game...one point more than the other and it is round ball time for the loser. Bet of luck to Pittsburg...the Buckeyes are waiting on ya'.

The talent pool changes yearly...last year, the Div I Champ Buckeyes was much smaller than the Div II Bulldogs...& Div I was the harder row to hoe

I was impressed with the Vistor's Side!!

You forgot to mention the excellent Visitor Seating...roomy, easy in / out, almost plush...I love to play Dangerfield there...

Barley only means one thing..."L"...and anytime the Bucs beat the Bears, "I" consider it a maulling, an annual mauling in fact. Coulda, woulda, shoulda...the Bears and the Bucs have been toe to toe forever and they did play us a very tight game this year, but I will still contend, the Bears laid down after the defeat...look at Glade vs SH...the Bears werestanding around and not moving.

And as another reminder...the last time we palyed Pitt was 2005 and the score was 55 to 6...really ugly

And we will have the opportunity to spank LE 2X in the same season...let's hear it for Dist 16

Let's take a deep breath here and a chill...you are right that it has no bearing on the Distrct Title...but "is not important" is WRONG...Here is a quote from Smoak 16-3A Playoff Picture Current Standings: Carthage 4-0 Coming Week: vs Spring Hill Gilmer 3-1 Coming Week: vs Pittsburg Henderson 2-2 Coming Week: vs Gladewater Pittsburg 2-2 Coming Week: vs Gilmer Spring Hill 1-3 Coming Week: vs Spring Hill Gladewater 0-4 Coming Week: vs Henderson In a nutshell, only one team - Carthage - is assured a playoff spot regardless of the outcome of all other games on Friday. Two other teams - Spring Hill and Gladewater - are mathematically eliminated from the playoff picture regardless of any scenarios. Spring Hill (by virtue of an upset over Carthage with a loss by Henderson, etc.) could move into a third place tie, but would be eliminated from playoff contention due to head-to-head and/or point scenarios. Though extremely unlikely, a Spring Hill upset, when placed in combination with other outcomes, could affect the selection of the district's third place representative. Because of its obvious remoteness, it will not be covered here. For the other three teams in the district race, it's pretty much win or stay home. Carthage is in Playoffs regardless of outcomes. If Henderson loses and Pittsburg wins, Carthage will enter the playoffs as the Division 1 rep. Under virtually all other scenarios, Carthage will enter the playoffs as the Division 2 winner. Henderson needs a win to totally secure a playoff spot: A WIN over Gladewater - IN playoffs as D1 representative regardless of Pittsburg-Gilmer outcome A LOSS to Gladewater AND: Gilmer wins over Pittsburg results in a tie for 3rd …. Gilmer 4-1 Henderson 2-3 Pittsburg 2-3 AND Henderson IN playoffs as D1 representative via of head-to-head win over Pittsburg Pittsburg wins over Gilmer results in a tie with Gilmer for 2nd …. Pittsburg 3-2 Gilmer 3-2 Henderson 2-3 AND Henderson OUT; Gilmer goes in as Div 2-R representative and Pittsburg as D2-W PRIMARY PLAYOFF PICTURE CENTERS ON OUTCOME OF THE PITTSBURG and GILMER GAME: IF HENDERSON wins over Gladewater AND: Gilmer beats Pittsburg Playoffs: Gilmer is in as D2-R representative; Henderson is in as D-1 representative Pittsburg beats Gilmer by 1 Three-way tie for 2nd: Henderson 3-2 with +2 points (+3 vs PHS, -1 vs GHS): IN PLAYOFFS Gilmer 3-2 with 0 points (+1 vs HHS, -1 vs PHS): IN PLAYOFFS Pittsburg 3-2 with -2 points (+1 vs GHS, -3 vs HHS) Playoffs: Gilmer is IN as D2-R representative; Henderson is IN as D-1 representative Pittsburg beats Gilmer by 2 Three-way tie for 2nd: Henderson 3-2 with +2 points (+3 vs PHS, -1 vs GHS): IN Playoffs as D1 rep Gilmer 3-2 with -1 points (+1 vs HHS, -2 vs PHS) Pittsburg 3-2 with -1 points (+2 vs GHS, -3 vs HHS) Playoffs: Depends on District Guidelines for ties Some districts provide for head-to-head in case of ties Some districts provide for coin toss in case of ties Unfortunately, many districts chose the later Coaches don't like coin tosses (unless of course it's to their advantage) Pittsburg beats Gilmer by 3 (or more) Three-way tie for 2nd: Henderson 3-2 with +2 points (+3 vs PHS, -1 vs GHS): IN Playoffs as D1 Rep Pittsburg 3-2 with 0 points (+3 vs GHS, -3 vs HHS) Gilmer 3-2 with -2 points (+1 vs HHS, -3 vs PHS) Playoffs: Pittsburg IN in as D2-R representative; Gilmer OUT It may be unlikley, but geeze, it happened this year when CH beat the Bulldogs...miracles do happen!!

Good Grief!! What happens if Jupiter aligns with Mars on Friday?

The Bucs get an opportunity to kick Carthage's butt in week 4...who cares abut Div. 1...Bulldogs & Buckeyes again in 2010!!

Henderson...why would there be even a question. Gladewater laid down after Gilmer administered it's annual mauling...we frustrate them terribly...oh well, payback for the mauling Gladewater has laid on the Bucs in years past.

Alright...I love a good blow-out...to heck with nail biters...I always love to see a mauling

The Buckeyes are always better...see above

Henderson cheated...they slapped the ball before it was snapped...but such is life...they had another chance to put it away and their kicker blew it...but such is life

The Bucs are always better...only the Buckeys can beat the Buckeyes...

They are practicing round ball...of course for Gilmer, beating Gladewater & Dangerfield makes the year...the rest is lagnaippe.

You must be from Gladewater...according to the Gilmer calendar, it's week 9 and one more to go (10)... & yes, some have been eliminated.

Gladewater for sure...life is good when you beat Gladewater and Dangerfield and Carthage...oh well, two out of three ain't bad.

According to the WORD, the Buc's workouts this week has been "INTENSE". The Bucs by 14...the Tiney Defense is healthy, offense is in good shape. Lions are in for a rough one. Fans will be there in force & loud...everyone wants this one.

Too much for me...let's just go down, kick butts & take names...there is one scenario...if Henderson is out, then Carthage goes big school & Gilmer plays Pleasant Grove!!
