buckeyebob Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Henderson beat us by 3 points. Maybe I am wrong but I believe that we would have to beat Gilmer by 4. But having said that, I have been wrong one time before. It could be 3 but I would rather have 7,8,9,10........and so on. 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'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeroyBrown Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I like Gilmer, they are well coached and will be ready. Gonna be a battle...........What a fun district, either way you have a team on the basketball court who would beat most 3A teams around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasualObserver70 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I cannot remember the last time Gilmer needed to win its final game to secure a playoff spot. Should be a lot of excitement at Buckeye stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myomy Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I have a feeling that it will be the game of the week. I also believe that either team would win most districts or at least be the 2nd or 3rd team. It will be fun but more fun for the team that has the most points at the end of the game. Both teams have improved and Gilmer is getting healthy. Might have to send some bedbugs to keep you guys up at night.....I know that you are not worried about Pittsburg, are ya?

pittready Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 TURNOVERS!! If Pitt doesn't have multiple turnovers I really like their chances..In 2 of the loses this year vs Carthage vs Tatum, Pitt shot themselves in the foot..Against Henderson Pitt fell apart in the last 8 minutes of the game and was outscore 22-0 and lost the contest 35-32..Otherwise Henderson which by the way was picked to win district :smirk: -wouldn't even a part of all this playoff talk..Actually one of the 2 scores allowed against Gladewater was a pick 6 and 2 scores for Spring Hill came from turnovers-one in the end zone...I know-I know turnovers are a part of the game--but if Pitt limits theirs Friday and the lights don't get turned out--Pitt wins.. :nowhearthis: You hit the nail on the head on this one. O boy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittready Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 What about the 406 yrds Tatum put up against Pitt or how weak our run defense is? :smirk: Dude you are the worst prognosticator that I know..Everybody understands why you in particular spends so much time trying to validate Gilmer... :bangin: Because the little green team beat them..You want them to do well because in your mind it makes Tatum look better..Gilmers only advantage over Pitt is simply coaching..Pitt has way more athletes.. Let me put it to ya plainly---If Pitts qb doesn't turn the ball over, Pitt cruises to victory..If the coaches run the plays that work and try not to dictate how they win-Pitt extends their play next week...Turnovers and penalties are Pitts worst enemy..Of the 23 turnovers on the year 19 have came from one position..If we take care of that, then we take care of Gilmer... 's You hit the nail on the head then iam glad ppl see whats going on in pitt. Great year boys its hard we all know it could of and should of been a better year.

pittready Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Agreed......Pitt has two very good RBs that could produce and make this offense very potent. The running game would keep the defense honest and open up the pass. Every front four right now just pins their ears back and go at Manley. Keep 'em off balance. Gilmer's secondary is pretty good....running will be key. If they dont run, they'll get drove. r I've been bannded before, but glad everybody knows pitt problems it so sad. Tatum is a beast no doubt i can accept that lost but not the rest no way we have to much talent nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackflag79 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 You Pitt peeps act like y'all are the only ones that have had problems with TURNOVERS. Gilmer has only had ONE game this year where there were NO TURNOVERS. There were three games in which Gilmer had five or more TOs, and it just so happens that those are the only three games the Buckeyes have lost. In two of those games we still had a chance to win it in the end, but came up short. We've also been hit extremely hard this year with injuries. In the Carthage game we had SEVEN starters out for the game, and one starter who only played a little in the 3rd quarter. We are now starting to get healthy. If there are no more injuries from this past Friday, we should have all but 3 starters back ---- maybe only two. I like our chances against the Pirates IF we: 1) HANG ON TO THE BALL, 2) Play assignment DEFENSE and get pressure on the QB, 3) Get a few more long plays offensively without forcing the ball, i.e. throw over the top a few times to keep the defense honest, 4) Get the running game going. If we do these things we will win. If not, Pitt definitely will have a chance at the win. LET'S GO BUCKEYES!!! Win and we're in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myomy Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Pitt has to win by 3 pts. But more are welcome Not that I am a math wiz but I think that Pitt only has to win by 2. If my math is correct and Pitt does win by 2 then Pitt and Henderson will be in and Gilmer out. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FriscoFan Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Gilmer's getting healthy at the right time. Pitts passing may pose some problems, but gilmer's offense will be too much for Pitts defense. Too much Luke Turner, and wayyyy too much Gus Johnson. Gilmer will win, but turnovers will dictate how close the score will be. Gilmer by 3 tds..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone correct me if I am wrong.A few days ago Smoaky put up a link breaking down everything..Pitt needs to win by 3 or more points..Looking forward to a good game..Hats of to the Pitt players and coaches this week as they prepare for a great game..We as fans will pile in the Buckeye stadium this week with support,respect,and complete confidence in our team and coaches..Good Luck Pirates... :pirate: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you have confidence in your team, its expected. If Pitt had 10-12 players worth mentioning, you would'nt be sitting @ 6-3 2-2. Those 2 names I threw out are what makes that offense go. Pitt stops them, they win, simple. Will they? No. Turnovers are what has stifiled that offense this year, not anyones defense. Pitt will have to outscore Gilmer to win. Buckeyes are at home, Coming off a huge win vs Henderson, better coaching, better team. IMO, if Pitt can score 40+, they could pull the upset (If Gilmer's defense gives up 40+ to Pitt, they have no business winning anyway). I just don't think Pittsburg has enough offense to win this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they undefeated? No, they aren't. I believe its 6-3 3-1 with losses to Tatum, Jacksonville and Carthage. The reason I posted Pitts record, is the fact you said you could roll off about 10-12 players that could do "whatever". If that was the case, I think ya'lls record would be different. Gilmer's record is what it is. Lost by 6 to Tatum, by 7 to Jacksonville and 20? to Carthage. Both teams will be ready to play, "should" be a great game.

Don't forget the near loss to Gladewater in Buckeye stadium...Just sayn because you mentioned that when validating why you thought Gilmer would win..
