I have been bit by Smitty,

I remember two guys having a slapping match after a hard exchange under the bucket, We ran to break it up. Smitty said STOP!!! Let those two limp wrists go at it!!! Then without saying a word he grabbed the two of them and dragged them down to the wrestling room... The team just kind of followed him (dragging the two of them), he got to the room, unlocked it, turned the lights on, threw the two of them in the room. Then he said you two sissies do what you gotta do but when you come out of that room you will never fight on my team again!!! He shut the door and started wallking back to the gym yelling ON THE LINE!!!! I said "Smitty"? He said don't worry about them, those two couldn't whip there way out of a wet paper bag with both ends open, they aint gonna hurt each other!!! LOL! We then ran till we all threw up!!!

I would also like to state for the record that I hit my share of guys out of bounds or in lane 8!!! And it had nothing to do with leadership, I just wanted that guy to be wondering where I was at all times!! LOL!

I will be attending the game on the 19 for sure so see you all there!!!!

Go red!

The QB change in the 4th for just one series was bizarre.

It seemed last night we ran a lot of multiple WR sets, but only one WR consistently caught the ball for significant gains. A lot of blame often goes to the QB, but what if the WR's aren't running the routes well or just are not fast enough to get open or aren't big enough to get the 50/50 balls or are not strong enough to break free of a single DB in space to get yards after catch? If this is the case, we are putting 1-2 WR on the field that are nothing more than decoys instead of pounding the ball. Last night we were in the game until the middle of the 4th quarter. Throwing the ball all over the field didn't make sense until the very end.

In the first series of the 4th Q, when the change was made at QB, a second string WR beat the defense and was wide open deep but, according to the Ashland radio commentators, the ball was well under thrown or it would have been a TD.

His accuracy is horrible , always overthrowing everything even simple screen passes . Don't blame the receivers either, sure they do drop a few but 90% of the time there uncatchable .
