Whackem'n'Stackem'

I say the Birds are the best.:scared:

The two offenses were good. Elder gets the edge b/c they had 3 effective options to Highlands 2 and it manifested itself during the game. Ramsey had all day to throw last night...........and he did

Sure would've been nice to see Houliston in during the last possession with a minute remaining......

Anyone else think that after the first completed bomb, Ramsey told them it would be better to take a 15yd pass interference call as opposed to a 60yd bluebird gain? Sure looked like it to me.

Make that 3 out of last 4 meetings a GCL squad has knocked the Bluebird qb out of the game.

Elder won the game. Why? Ramsey vs. Bluebird DB's was better than Houliston vs. DB's. Highlands found themselves in a lot of 3rd/4th and long situations compared to Elder who appeared to move effortlessly down the field on the shoulders of Ramsey. Obviously the fumble was the difference and the fact that the Bluebirds looked like a deer caught in the headlights during the 1st qtr. Feggins: offensive player of the game. Wrobleski: defensive player of the game.

Hey Bigbird, can you warm my seats for me before I arrive tonight? I'd appreciate it.

All I know is last year Donovan got the Mr. Tough Guy award after the Elder game. They abused that kid and he just kept goin' and goin' and goin' and goin'. Elder just doesn't hit like Harrison Co.

It's not often, but this post was pretty funny.:clap:

2 out of the last 3 meetings with GCL teams, the Bluebird qb came out injured.

It appears that there is alot of emotion involved in many of these predictions. Elder fans see it 60/30 and Bluebird fans see it 30/60. Practical fans see it as THEE must see game of the year. The Pit factor may be what tips the scale.

Yes, I see Ramsey having a big night running the ball as well as passing. Birds always seem to play off the ball and the Panthers throw a lot of slants and screens for easy 5's. Schroer is good for several yards a carry as well even if banged up. When I saw Holmes getting to Houliston last Friday, I thought, "oh no".

Nah, that's my underwear band.

Better keep that on the down low. If that info hits Yappi it's all over for the Chili Co. Friday night after the Birds paste the Panthers.

I'd go naked before I wore purple to the Pit. Though I may put on some so I can go to Price Hill Chili afterwards.

lol.

I sat on the Elder side. They are very nice to Bluebird fans.:sssh:

I agree that 3 td's is a stretch.

I watched the St. X game and Elder used Schroer primarily to set up a number of screens and slants that were very effective. When the receivers weren't there, Ramsey took off for an easy 10-15. It was frustrating to watch from an X point of view. They will pull the same tricks Friday and stay on the field a long long time, IMO. It's a game of matchups and Moe's line dictated the outcome of that one. Hopefully the Birds line will step up and do the same in the Pit. It's a tall order for the Bluebird defense but they do have the Weinrich factor.

Elder's offense is a three pronged threat.

I personally think that the Birds will look, offensively speaking, similar to the 1st quarter of the University Christian game. Elder will absorb the clock like a sponge, Houli and co. will see the field sparingly and will need to make every possession count.....the pressure on Houli will, unlike UC, be sustained throughout the contest. Biggest, most anticipated game of the 2013 season.

Houliston is the best passer I've ever seen play high school football.

The offensive and defensive lines of Highlands will dictate the outcome. It will mean the difference between a close win or a 3 td loss Friday night.

Depends on if Hope is healthy. They'll need every bit of a healthy Hope.

I think Elder will stuff Harris and the Birds only hope is through the air. The Bulldogs got good penetration tonight and pressured Houliston which scares me. The Elder D line is much much better than the Holmes D line. I predict a long night for Houliston.
