How is there not a thread for this matchup yet?

Gilmer is just hoping not to get run out of its own stadium Friday night. I think many of our apathetic fans have finally just thrown in the towel.

The team is very young. The QB situation is still a bit unsettled, but we can see a solution forming. Star RB probably won't play. Etc., etc., etc.

Gilmer been hit with the injury bug?

I said on another thread that I could easily see us going into the playoffs at 5-5. Hope I'm wrong but we shall see.

Games of the week are usually competitive. I don't think this one will be.

AP still has us ranked 8th. I guess they chalked it up to a bad night.........I didn't.

Pigskin Prep has Gilmer at #8 in D2 and a 17 point underdog to Carthage.

I might agree with #8 in DII

I think that the Buckeye fans are spoiled. Just cause your gonna lose this Friday doesn't mean you can't make some noise in the playoff's!

Gilmer played through lightning here against Van. I saw it not too far off in the distance as the game kicked off.

OTOH, when we were in Paris the other night, their authorities postponed the kickoff for the same phenomenon.

So there's no consistency in the application of this rule.

Just looked it up. There is no doubt Gilmer violated this rule. Go ahead and suspend us for this season, I would say. It probably won't be much of a penalty that way.

My school has had 3 straight games be delayed here in Dallas. Lightening only has to be 10 miles away so you may not even see it.

The Dawgs 52 Gilmer 7 in the first half.
The Dawgs are just to much for Gilmer, the Dawgs are running and throwing at will on Gilmer and the Dawg D has the Gilmer QB running for his life and totally shut down the Buckeye run game.

Well, my hopes were in vain. We were, in fact, run out of our own stadium tonight. Congrats to the Bulldogs.

We could very easily have been 0-4. Just saying.

No team I like to beat more than the Buckeyes. Nothing but respect for that program. They are one of very few schools to go toe to toe with Carthage since 2008. But honestly I don’t like to see a score like this. It’s always been Carthage and Gilmer at the top of the food chain in ETX 4a. I hope that’s not over. Carthage has won 3 in a row against Gilmer with an average margin of 56-26. Scores 55, 48, and 66 in the last 3 meetings. Just hope the Buckeyes are not done being elite.
