A Month Away!

**Unchained** · July 24th, 2007, 02:09 PM

Last night/early this morning walking though, inspecting the rec cages at work with a co-worker, I had to smile just a bit because for the first time this year for me, the cool air reminded this ol' boy that in just a month, it's going to be my favorite time of year. The Twin Springs Titans will make the trip from Nicklesville to the Reservation to battle my beloved Indians, and for just a few hours, all will be good in this world. I have plenty of comp time to burn, and unlike last year, I'm not going to miss 6 JJK games

. Now for the serious question: I have 3 co-workers who seem to think that Haysi's Tigers will thump my Tribe at Sandlick, and are willing to give me 14 points. Should I take that? I think I will (can't pass up a free dinner at my place of choosing-just need to remember where the most expensive eating establishment in the next 100 miles is) [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]

Is everybody else getting stoked about this season?

I can NEVER read Haysi I THINK that is a reasonable bet IF Kelly is a improved team but Haysi will have alot of time to prepare for that game......Right now I think Haysi is the Fav but by 14 points I don't know

I think playing in the LPD will pay dividends when we head to Sandlick.

I would take the bet if they gave me 28 points, Kelly still cant make a 14 point spread with Haysi.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I kind of think even if Kelly is vastly improved, be it fundamentals or whatever, that doesn't really prepare you for Haysi. You never know what they are going to throw at you, and normally you think that teams are pretty 'vanilla' at the beginning of the season, then you play Haysi and they come out with a playbook the size of several small European countries [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

I'd not take the bet with 14 vs them at Sandlick. I'm kind of like Counts in that I can never read them, and almost every year we say they should have a fall off, but then they turn around and don't.

Don't take the bet, then if you win, you still get to gloat [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

I know what you mean about never being able to tell with Haysi. The Tigers had me shaking my head last year when they lost to Lee. We played the Gens last game of the season and made them look bad (was worried about them based on Haysi game). That's the wonderful part about high schol football I suppose.

**Chubzfan** · July 24th, 2007, 04:23 PM

Kelly might, and I say might win 3 games this season, its a stretch.

**Unchained** · July 24th, 2007, 04:25 PM

I'll gladly take that bet Chubzfan. How much you want to put on that one?

I'm a big LPD advocate - but based on my knowledge of both Kelly and Haysi (I saw both teams in action last season) I expect the Tigers to win by a wide margin. Also, the Sandlick field gives them one of the most significant home field advantages in our Region. I think Haysi finished 8-3 & was the BDD champions with a relatively young team. (I think they'll have the best placekicker in our area.) I'll put the final score at 31-12 Haysi.
