Oh, come on now, Aussie, nobody hates you guys. Only people who hate you are those over on Smoaky who think Gilmer has somewhere around 15 state championships to Carthage's 22 — all won within the last decade.

It ain't personal. There are a lot of folks that are jealous of our success in the last decade and a half. Most of those same folks that hate us have been victims of beatdowns at the hands of the Buckeyes. I also think that all of the criticism of the referees in our matchups with those same teams over the years has had an effect on the officiating in our games of the last three years since Jeff left. I am a homer, yes, but I AM objective when it comes to officiating. I see us getting a raw deal in that area more so now than I can remember. Most of those calls are legit, I must say, but the calls against our opponents haven't been close to being even. It seems I've seen a whole lot of holding (grabbing the jersey), illegal blocks, and even a couple of offsides (OBVIOUS) not called against our opponents. Are the officials being intentional? Probably not, but it makes one wonder sometimes.

It is what it is, though, and you have to play through it. No excuses.

Opponents love losers! Would you rather lose and be loved?

P.S. Carthage doesn't hate Gilmer (much).

I think it's been proven that PG is a very solid football team this year in just about all areas......especially defensively. It's gonna be tough going into Gilmer and walking away with a win, but a very solid team like PG is this year may be able to make it happen. If they can play very clean football and dictate the intensity and physicality, then I think it may disrupt Gilmer's penchant for setting a torrid pace in the game offensively. If you can get Gilmer out of their comfort zone and fast pace offensively, then you have a very good chance of winning. I do think that we will see Pleasant Grove as the better defensive team......and of course Gilmer as the more potent team offensively. I'm betting the PG coaches will have the Hawks ready to play a very physical game. It will be interesting to see if defense or offense dictates the pace of play in this game. I think that will be the determining factor in which team will win.

I got a good feeling. Nac was smashed between Carthage and PG. We got up as high as we could for Carthage only to have the wind let out of our sails in the 4th quarter. That night they proved to me they could play with anybody. The next week, after a game the kids really felt they should have won, we come out very flat against a team we should beat the brakes off.
Fast forward 2 weeks. It's time to look to the future.......do what we do. They ain't coming into OUR HOUSE, and kicking THIS A$$. It ain't happening. Bucks win.

Agreed. I just have a feeling that says the Buckeyes show up, and show off for Friday's match up.

Well, you only have to wait a few more hours to see if your feeling holds true or not.
