I don't know why you think that is so bizzar. Realistically this game could be a 60-54 shootout.

 

Yo...you playing NBA Fanduel today or what? :lol2:

 

I need to make the group. 2 hours left.

Sorry I'm all mobile today so I couldn't see notifications. But yes I'm in!

Go Birds. Silence the doubters. This is our time of year! Nobody gave us a chance down 42-21 at half last year. Ok we started 1-5. Let's finish with a couple of more W's.

Not a chance!! That stuff is bad for you in your pipe!

 

Yeah, that's really far fetched given how much Pulaski has struggled to score and how Highlands has fared defensively over the past couple of years against Offenses with a pulse...:idunno:

Yes. Highlands is still bad on Defense. Pulaski may score 60 against them.

 

You seem to know a lot about PC with that bold prediction, fill us in. I'll wait. :lol2:

Just heard the game will be at 3pm next Friday...not a typo...3pm

 

Just got the Text that both AD's and Head Coaches agreed to move the game. Case closed! Tailgating starts at 9:00 AM....

 

Great, I can come up an watch this one, grab a bite to eat and have plenty of time for the night-cap NewCath/Danville.

In terms of context in this thread they are the underdog. Not many people think they can win.

 

48 to 38 is not many?

 

Also, there are the people who would vote their team over anyone anytime. Others are voting how they hope it will turn out, not how they expect it to.

 

It is a great improvement for HHS from several weeks ago when so many were talking PC putting a running clock on the birds. Now it's only a couple.

Nope but it kind of proves my point. The Highlands faithful think that they will win--that would seem to make Pulaski the underdog in their eyes...

 

 

Some. Just as Highlands is the underdog in PC fans eyes. Pretty common with successful programs.

I've spoken to 3 or 4 Maroon fans and parents since Friday night...they all think they are the under dog.

Surprising but I doubt if that's a widespread belief. If it is that's kind of sad for the program.

Highlands path to the Final Four may be the worst in history...they have beaten a:

3-7 team in the 1st round

3-8 team in the 2nd round

and a 5-7 team in the 3rd round

 

The mighty and "rolling" Blue Birds have wins this season against teams with the following records: 1-10, 3-8 (twice), 5-7 (twice), 4-7, 0-11, and 3-8...they have yet to beat a team with even a winning record...I have a hard time considering a team with that resume a "favorite" against the defending state champ.

 

Pulaski's playoff run does leave a bit to be desired as well...they have beaten a:

4-7 team in the 1st round

3-8 team in the 2nd round

and (cue applause) an 11-2 team in the 3rd round...the only win for either team against a team with a winning record in the playoffs so far.

Surprising but I doubt if that's a widespread belief. If it is that's kind of sad for the program.

Well I didn't say they weren't confident, just that they have much respect for the Bluebirds and know they have a big hill to climb this week and the Birds won't make it easy. They aren't in anyway looking past the Birds or overconfident, they look at this as a game where they have to play their best to win.

So, Highlands is going to win?

Ok, makes sense. Saying they thought they were an underdog led me to think you were saying they didn't have confidence.

 

My guess is that attitude about knowing the challenge ahead permeates both sides.

The fact that people are trying to make a case for their team being worse (aka the underdog) is one of the more funny things I've seen on here.
