As a Meade fan I ask that the Trinity faithful take some of the comments from other Meade fans with a grain of salt. I knew that the comments leading up to this game would end up like this, but I had hoped they wouldn't.
Most of the residents of Meade County have a very deep sense of pride and tradition in the place that they live (I do as well, it is a fantastic place). Residents love to brag and "show off" this wonderful place whenever the opportunity presents itself and the football team happens to be a very large bragging point at the moment. Our residents take great pride in all things Meade County, but when someone questions or is deemed to disparage that point of pride (even if it is unintentional) Meade Countians are quick to defend. A lot of our residents have a slight chip on their shoulder, especially when those comments come from residents of Louisville. Some have it in their minds that people from Louisville look down on our community, and I'm sure some do. But there are a lot of people who believe ALL Louisvillians, especially those who send their kids to private schools have this view. So a lot of Meade fans were just looking for a reason to get agitated leading up to this game. For that, I apologize.
However, I will say that some of the nicest, most sincere people I have met in this world reside in Meade County. For all of you traveling to Brandenburg on Friday I am certain that you will see that. I expect you to be greeted kindly. As long as mutual respect is shown I think you will have a fantastic time at one of the truly great places in the state to watch a football game.
