It's not a matter of disrespect, as much as Trinity fans may want to make it seem.

 

Ryle is excited, and rightfully so. They've never been there and it shows at times, particularly with some of their fans; however, I have not seen any comments from their coaches or players that should upset or bother any Trinity fans...

 

I agree.

I think Ryle should fill the gas tank up and make the trip. Sounds as if they are confident and prepared. I must say if (IF) Ryle is to hang with the mighty Rocks for a half, they must be CONFIDENT AND PREPARED.... That just gets them to half time..... MUST make excellent half time adjustments as well. MUST execute those adjustments very well all through 2nd half. Did I say NO TURNOVERS.... BASICALLY - Ryle needs to play a perfect game to be in the game. Trinity has way to many weapons to "have a bad game and not show up"..... IS IT POSSIBLE FOR RYLE TO PLAY AND WIN?....ABSOLUTLELY YES. No one should discredit their efforts thus far or their approach to the game. Remember, they have not been to the big dance before.... The ultimate questions for me are 1) Can the Ryle defense stop the Trinity offense? If the ultimate answer is NO, then no need for the second question..... 2) How will Ryle respond when they are down two scores early in the first half? Has the coaching staff of Ryle prepared the boys for this senerio? If not mentally prepared for such a situation and environment, things could get ugly....

 

My crystall ball says (I glued if back together)

 

a) Trinity 45 - Ryle 7

 

b) Trinity 35 - Ryle 20

 

c) Ryle 31 - Trinity 28

 

 

Probability of all liklyhood: a = 80%

b = 15%

c = 5%

 

Good luck to both teams, no injuries and good sportsmanship displayed by all players, coaches and FANS..... I think we have been missing that "good sportmanship" element on BGP lately....

 

Excellent post, and I couldn't agree with the highlighted part any more. Seems we have all been a little heated the past few weeks.

I'm not surprised that they feel like it's their year, they've lost twice all year...that makes perfect sense. Good for them.

 

But it feels like it's our year too, though.

ehhhhh don't say that! I haven't thought about ''No football'' yet...

And after this Saturday we get bowl games....

 

...I'm not really into bball yet.

That's because ALL of our local teams are way below our standards, but oh well.

 

See you guys in Louisville !!

I thought it was a good article. There were a few words I would have choosen differently. But hey! I’ve had artilcles written about me where I was misquoted and or taken out of context and usually it’s the editor who didn’t even do the interview that does a rewrite. Go figure! Congrats to the Raiders for making it to the big dance. Let’s play football...
