I know the feeling I'm about to go to work at 10 am. You know Palace Duty! AnywayI'm taking the Family to see Chicken Little soon! BTW there will be another Blue Blazer added to the Family in the beginning of June!!

Mercer County fans will really like Henry R. Evans Stadium, great size and atmosphere.

 

Morgan wished they could be there with their friends from Russell!

 

Long trip for the Scotties...I would say about a 3:00-3:30 hour tour guestimating.

Come on down to Henry R. Evans Im sure we can find u a Maroon shirt for a night.

Are you certain that I would not be seen wearing the maroon?!!! Awfully risky.

 

If Mercer County brings their band, you all are in for a treat.

 

Also, watch "Remember the Titans" a few times this week to get the name "Sunshine" embedded in your brains...you may hear it a lot.

 

From hearing some of the Cougar players talk in the last few days, they said Mercer/Morgan had a great respect for each other on the field...they knocked the daylights out of each other, but there was excellent sportsmanship. Morgan's Alex Collins, who played in his first game in 9 weeks with a broken thumb said he had enough bear hugs from Mercer's #75 I think... :thumb: But Mercer acknowledged how tough the Cougars were and vice versa...Mercer is a hard hitting team that plays the game right...Should be an excellent game, but I still think Russell's speed and their defense could be the difference maker.

I would love to be there BlueBlazer and welcome the invite...but I think it's Chicken Little time for my Avatar that evening...plus, my boss may have me putting in some extra 'practice' hours on Friday afternoon if you know what I mean

:cry: That sucks well tune in on the net at http://www.1071kissfm.com/pages/kissdiamonddave.html if u get a chance.

Nets from what I gather from reading from you, you would be welcome to come to the game and wear any color that you choose. You seem like a great fan. Wish you could be here to root on the Devils. :fire:

Frances,

The Wing T is the Wing T, is the Wing T. Their is nothing fancy about it, just like Jaggers and the Wishbone (one of the reasons why Im going to enjoy watching this game so much, despite the outcome, two great running offenses). The LB's watch the guards in the Wing T and when Russell lines up in the Power I. Nothing changes. The guard block down, LB's fill, the guards pull, the LB's follow, the guards kick out, the LB's fill. It's easier said than done, thats for sure, especially when we're talking about teenagers out there. Best of Luck!!

Thanks Russellites...

 

Just remember the freindly stuff in the coming weeks...be nice to me :laugh:

FBALL,

By the way, Four plays is all you need! I can see now why Coach McGlone has been so successfull over the years..theres no need for more than four plays. Between him and Jaggers, their might be a total of 7 different offensive plays ran combined friday nite. Just the way I like it!!! :thumb: :dancingpa

Could this be the quickest game played in the state this Friday night?

I just hope that all the trash talkers make it back on BGP by Saturday morning. Some have been known to go into hiding after a loss, and some come back and thier crow like a champ. Good luck to both teams.

 

Russell takes this one.

 

Russell 42

Mercer 13

Jeepman, No crow eating beware of the Bird Flu Pandemic!! That's scary I hope your right we need all the fans healthy for a deep playoff run HOPEFULLY!!!!!!!!

... Unless Frances would like to come over and make us some country ham, grits, scrambled eggs, and biscuits from scratch,with that delicious fresh squeezed juice!!! That's making my mouth water!!

Blue Blazer - I'll have to take a rain check on the tailgaiting. I'll be in Oldham County this weekend, with little Frances playing three basketball games. I will be listening to the Tomcats, and the Red Devils on the internet on Friday night, though! :thumb:

Perhaps the next time I get to see either the Devils or the 'Cats will be in December - in my neck of the woods! :thumb:

You are correct, Buffalo Gap. Even though most ladies my age don't really appreciate the intricacies of the game, I can assure you that I grasp the concept of keying on uncovered linemen, and reacting accordingly.

The whole point to my first response to you was merely to make it clear that Mercer will need to adjust very quickly during the game, because McGlone knows what he is doing, and he has the talent to impose his will. It is obvious that both of these teams will play physical football, keep it on the ground (well, most of the time), and are both well coached.

 

Wish I could be there with all of you.

 

Frances

So wonderfully spoken Francis, as always.

Frances,

 

I agree. Mercer doesnt need to get behind on Russell like they did on Morgan, even if they do, Mercer cab still pull off a win. They wont panic, they have been down several times this year early in the game. North Laurel jumped out to a lead, so did Newport, Morgan and Garrard County. All of these teams were up at least one touchdown, maybe 2 at halftime. In saying that, i will agree that this Russell team will be the best that Mercer has played. I dont think they have better athletes than Newport(I sure hope not), even at that, Mercer gave Newport all that they wanted, but athletes and football players are really two different things.

 

It's a shame you're not going to be able to attend the game. Tell all the ladies in Mayberry hello!! haha. Best of Luck to your Red Devils. :thumb:
