...has updated their football website, http://www.mercertitans.com . I thought some of you would enjoy it. Make sure and check out the pics and the other "media". Panoramic views of the facility and stadium, too. Pretty slick. Thanks to all of those who put in the work on this site, it looks great!

Site looks great! :thumb:

Great job !

Looking good. Now that school is back in session, I would say there will be more updates.

Lets see them in their new division, last year is gone!

Was nothing negative, they had a great year last year and this is a huge jump up in class. Am curious how they will do.

Buffalo Gap if you know...... I am curious as to why Boyle is traveling again to Mercer this year? This is a huge gate for the home team which will be Mercer's again this season. I'm sure that there is a good reason as to why, cause I can't believe the school would pass this amout of gate money up. There has to be a simple reason why, but no one that I know on this end knows. My only guess would be to help Mercer out since they have had a hard time with getting thier games finalized and finding teams to play them.

I think the kids and coaches are out to prove that they can and will compete at any level. Not saying they will win 5A but I really believe they will be there in the end with a chance. They are a very solid football team. They won't have the burners that they had last year. But they will get the job done with solid line play and an outstanding defense.

Play in 5a will be much more physical .... Mercer have very good speed last year but were not very physical on lines , previous year 2005 Mercer was big but slow and again not very physical ..... Boyd beat us in 2005 by being more physical .... Good luck in 5a ...

 

Ashland is 5a and they would have a much better chance of beating Russell if they lined up and ran it right at the Devils .....

I was wondering about this as well. Is this similar to the deal Boyle had with Danville last year where they were having problems with their field? Cause they were suppose to play the ADS at Boyle but had to play at Admiral stadium where they play at this year as well. Just a thought.

Nobody was saying anything about last year.

I dont know the whole reason, but I believe it had something to do with the fact that with the new scheduling, district realignments, etc. that if the game was at Boyle this year, then Boyle would be having 6 home games, which would inturn meant that they(Boyle) would have ONLY four home games in 2008. So, Im guessing that Jaggers and Pardue agreed to do it this way?! I believe that is the correct reasoning?! I hope this helps!

First of all, you making that comment, makes you sound like your Red Devils werent very physical, that was and always is proved to be false. Secondly, you apparently werent at the same game I saw, becausse it looked to me like both teams, especially on defense were absolutey knocking the you know what out of oneanother. By the way, Mercer's line in 2006 consisted of mainly sophomores, all of which are back this year and for the '08 campaign. Best of luck to you all this year!

Im with you, 100%. People who arent around and don't know anything will speculate against Mercer, that's all fine and dandy. They'll just use all of the negativity as motivation, besides, theres nothing wrong with flying under the radar. Lastly, I thought Id throw this out there too for others who doubt Mercer this year...comparing this years Mercer team v.s the '06 team would be like comparing apples and oranges, in saying that, this years 2007 team will practically be the sameone lining up to play in '08. So, those who want to make that comparison will just be looking foolish, but theres always some in the crowd, just like in anything else, huh?! haha

 

Oh, and thanks for the positive words AllUsedUp!:thumb:

With the Harrodsburg and Mercer merger (before the re-allignment).....where should have Mercer played last year....:sssh: Sorry if this has been discussed already, Im an outsider looking in:sleep:
