Reverend Jim taking his driver's license test is still best scene in TV history for me, but this is close second and a Thanksgiving tradition in my home.

Florida State Finals Metro Category M2 Miami Central 38 American Heritage 31 Central led 31-13 at the half. Heritage cut the lead to 7 and got the ball on their own 37 with 3:01 to go. They drove to the Central 34, but a fumble on a pass completion at the Central 24 ended any hopes for Heritage.

Florida State Finals Suburban Category 3S Lake Wales 32 Mainland 30

Not sure what Lake Wales is doing. They get a great kick-off return to their own 42, rush on 1st, then pass on 2nd and 3rd downs. They got a defensive holding call on the 3rd down pass and gained a 1st down on that. Still strange play calling.

Mainland and Lake Wales in a war for the 3S crown right now. 2:16 to go in the 4th. Mainland just scored. Lake Wales leads 32-30.

Question for the new coach. How do you average 28 points and 390 total yards a game and lose all of them but one.

Common opponents mean little, now a days. Tennessee kills Florida, Florida kills South Carolina, South Carolina kills Tennessee. While USF had an incredibly band season, the UofL game was absolutely the worst played of the bunch. I don't know if it was coming off the Florida game or what, but they could do nothing right on either side of the ball that day. (I think it was because my Hot Browns were so spectacular that we killed the tailgate and jinxed everything.) The Bulls defense was horrible all season, but in the games played against teams not called UofL they scored at least 21 points in each of those games and averaged 28 points a game for the season.

Not the impression I'm getting, but my fan friends are old school. He said the right stuff in the presser and did not throw out a bunch of stupid catch phrases. I don't get excited anymore, so it is what it is. Go Bulls.
