And on another side note, despite the love in, NO ONE EVER PULLS WHOLE HEARTEDLY FOR THEIR RIVALS! Michigan fans never pull for Ohio St. Alabama and UT fans do not pull for each other. Ever.

 

We may claim that we pull for other teams to make nice, but few of the fans really do. It is a nice sentiment, but when UK is knocked out of the NCAA tourney, I do not instantly become a Blue and Orange blooded Florida fan. Few people do that. It is just human nature to be "us" and "them".

To each his own I guess but have to tell you I am a huge UT fan, hate Alabama and Florida, don't like Kentucky, but anytime they play out of conference I pull for them. I want the SEC to be pre-eminent in all sports even if it was tiddly winks. Feel the same way about our district...want us to kick the crap out of every non district foe. Now being from the Burg I have no love lost for LC and will admit that, but I pulled for you guys in every non district game, hoped you'd beat Berea, hope you beat Campbellsville, and Middlesboro. Unlike some I love it when the LC Williamsburg game means something big. Its a huge rivalry, heck when we play records go out the window and its a dog fight, which is what rivalry fans live for. As far as "making nice" I really could care less about that, I am who I am, accept me or reject me, I live my life the way I feel I should so not too phased by peer pressure or conformity. I have to look at me in the mirror everyday, and as long as I can do that, treat others how I want to be treated, be kind and graciuos, I am a pretty happy person.

On another note, a very spirited and good practice at the Burg yesterday. Great focus and intensity. The one thing I worry about is that this week is fall break on Thursday and Friday. Hate to break routine with a young group like this.

TCB!!!

Is it just me or does it seem that we all muddle through the week and come alive on Fridays? LOL...anyway, Jackets time to buckle it up and get after it....my prediction...Jackets 34 Pirates 14...

Williamsburg will have no problems with Berea 42-6.

Well we pulled off another one 20 - 14 in OT. The jackets came out flat and Berea is pretty tough. Skyler Griffith had another 100 yard plus receiving game and was one of the few bright spots. The offense sputtered all night. Blocked punt by the up back started the game off badly and the team ddid just enough to win. Youth really showed tonight. Was afraid of a let down after Campbellsville and we surely had one. My hat's of to the Pirates though as they played an excellent game and have improved tremendously. Now on to the big rivalry...Lynn Camp.
