The rain didn't have too much affect on the Engineers when they played the Bears.:cry: That offense that is "like watching paint dry", should chug right on down the field with no problem.

 

What I'd like to know is what are the words to that "Working on the Railroad" song that they sing after their games? I suspect Somerset will be hearing it Friday, so why not give us a preview.

"I been workin' on the railroad, all the live long day, hey hey hey

I been workin' on the railroad just to pass the time a way

Don't you hear the whistle blowin', rise up so early in the morn?

Don't you hear the captain showtin', Dinah blow your horn."

 

"Dinah won't you blow, Dinah won't you blow, Dinah won't you blow your hoooorrrnn?

Dinah won't you blow, Dinah won't you blow, Dinah won't you blow your horn?"

 

"Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah, someone's in the kitchen I knooooowww.

Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah, strummin' on an ol' banjo.

Fee Fi Fiddely ey oh, fee fi fiddely ey ooohhhhhh, fee fi fiddely ey ohhhhhhhhhhhh,

Strummin' on an ol' banjo."

Hmmm, that's neat. So, they sing that after every game??? I heard them down there singing or chanting something after the game was over, but I was too peeved to pay attention at that moment, lol. :madman:

When I played it was sung after every game for football and basketball and at pep rallies. Also love it when the band strikes up that train whistle sound coming down the tracks. :thumb:

Was it after wins or all games?

Estill Co. wins with ball control. I'll say Estill 35-20

EC by 2 td's.

No disrespect to the Jumpers but it will be an emergency room afternoon. Estill Co. is for real. They're not 9-1 for no reason. They are 1 point from undefeated, by Breathitt Co. the #2 team in Class 3A. Oh yea, the game was at the house Mike Holcomb built. My take is that Breathitt and Estill will see each other again. It will be the game to see in 3A. In 1 to 2 years Jumpers will have their say in 3A.

It actually had somewhat of an affect on them, not the way it affects most passing teams, but it affected the amount of punishment that was given out by the Estill backs, usually that doesn't have a big impact but it has in most games this year. You have a very tough team Mama Bear, that's something to be proud of.

I am proud of them, Neers. We've improved so much from the beginning of the year. We've got a tough bunch of youngins here in Harlan County. This team may be peaking at the right time. Hopefully, here in about 2 weeks, we'll get a chance to see the Engineers and the Black Bears play again. That's my plan anyhow.

Solid post. :thumb:

It's almost here, I would like to wish a safe trip to all the Somerset players, coaches, and fans, good luck to both teams tonight.
