I heard it. He was starting DB and one of the guys competing for the QB job. I didn't know if it was true or how bad it was supposed to be.

 

titleist beat me to it. :thumb:

Its true, he has surgery in the morning, to put in some plates and pins for his ankle and leg.

That's bad news. Hope the surgery goes well and he recovers fully. Good luck to him in the surgery tomorrow.

Hated to hear about the news good luck and speedy recovery.

 

One thing about this game from the Pikevilel game last year. 2 things NCC killed Pikeville on was speed and strength. Belfry also beat Pikeville on those two things. NCC was quick but they had mor sucess runnign over Pikeville and also had the advantage of a new coach and new system and they hadnt adjusted at all. NCC will ahve the speed advantage but Belfry wont be horiably slow or anything but Ill give NCC the advantage there. Belfry however will own the strength advantage I think

The huge advantage I see is the fact of playing at Belfry its never easy. You can guarantee the stadium will be packed out and full of excitement. I am really excited about this fame and feel it is going to be great for the first week of football and will benifit both teams in the future.

I saw NewCath twice last year and if they resemble last year's team, I find it hard to believe that Belfry will out muscle NewCath. But I guess that's why they play them.

I agree. I thought NewCath was pretty physical and controlled the line of scrimmage in both games I saw them play last year. (Pikeville and Mayfield).

I know your trying to be neutral as you should be but dont you agree that Belfry pretty much outmuscled Pikeville the same way that NCC did? I mean Pikeville had a huge weakness last year which they have worked hard on during the offseason and that is strength. The bigger better teams simply ran them over and that is including Belfry and NCC.

I'm not being neutral, BB, just honest.

 

Belfry and NCC both handled Pikeville, but why would that equal Belfry physically manhandling NCC?

I never said they would physicaly manhandle them I just said Id give them the nod in the strength department. Because Belfry will line up run at you run at you and do it some more. That will take toll on a team in the first game of the season and by 3rd and 4th quarter their strength has gone down alot cause of fatigue. Not to many teams will line up and whip Belfry with their strength. I see this being a good well matched game but knowing what Belfry has returning and knowing what I saw from NCC last year which was very impressive. I will give Belfry a slight edge in the strength and NCC the edge on speed. But Belfry will be quicker this year especialy on the line.

any more thoughts/opinions on this game??

This game has all the potential to be a dandy!! It should show both teams what they need to improve on. It is hard to pick a favorite but I say NCC opens with a W.

I think Belfry's crowd will be a factor in this game. No way NCC can have any idea of what the crowd will be like at this game - WILD. I'm going with Belfry.

Yeah...NewCath never plays in highly anticipated and heavily attended games. Breaking new ground here.
