Being adult sucks

All things equal, I'd go to the game tonight. I'm not super super sick, but I've been sick for the better part of 2 weeks. From what the course of this seems to be, I'm about over it but not sure and not wanting to relapse. If there wasn't a baby on the horizon, I'd go, deal with being sick later, but I've got to look big picture. Wife has had horrible morning sickness so far and this being kind of a miracle due to my past cancer, I really have to treat it as such. Bad time for cold weather to make its appearance.

Just ranting, I know we all have to do things at times that are due to growing up, this is definitely one of them.

I'm sitting home too!!!! sucks doesn't it.

Yea and hearing the excitement on the radio makes It worse..My bones and this weather don't get along.But I'm going with Clintwood on this game.

Clintwood took us to the shed period. Didn't miss much

Shocked me. I wish I had seen it, might have made up for watching Burton take us to it last year :)

I can appreciate that Rock. In past years,going to JJK games no matter weather or record was done deal,but as I age the back and knees from years of being on concrete punish me hard on cold nights. Had I not had a son on the JJK squad tonight,I would have thought hard about staying warm and comfy at home. I have been home for over an hour and my body is still froze (even after a bowl of hot potato soup)

This is my biggest motivation for filming games and uploading them to the web for everyone to see. I've seen a few others doing this, too, and I'm really grateful that they're stepping up and getting this great footage out there. Anyone who can't make it because of illness, weather, distance, scheduling issues, etc. can sometimes find the games they were wanting to see online. This is why I usually watch the best games, too. The ones folks (like me) really want to see are the ones I most often attend and upload. I was really slacking big time last year and left out a lot of good games, but here in 2010 I've picked up the pace and I really do hope that anyone who can't make it to the games enjoys the footage, even if it doesn't contain every play or big moment in the game. I don't mean for this to sound like self-promotion, but I'm just letting you guys know that I feel your pain and I know that it sucks to miss out on big games, and I truly hope that material folks such as myself upload helps ease the pain!

Glad to hear man, I hope to get the Burton--Clintwood game uploaded as soon as possible since it was a big matchup and I know several of you guys didn't get to make it. I got some good footage since I had a nice angle from where I was sitting, so hopefully it will turn out well and I can upload without problems (YouTube has been a real pain recently thanks to some horrible changes to their uploader!).

What kind of stat guy are you anyway Freddy? If I only went to the games I felt like going to, I probably would have only done two or three so far this year.

:mooning:

He's got a sidekick. We've usually got 2, tonight we had 1. :)

I wouldn't mind to have a sidekick so I could take a break every now and then. SP about killed me last week with their damned no huddle. By the time I had the results of the last play written down, they were at the line before I could start the next play.

That and there's hands to be slapped on the sidelines.

I will say this over here instead of on the main part of the board. I know Norton fans get a lot of flack for their jawing and such but last night as I was leaving the game, let's just say I'm glad my daughter wasn't with me because she didn't need to hear any of those words that got slung my way. I was shocked to be honest with you. The main one that stuck out in my head was a guy yelled "Get your fat ass in your car and get back to the big City of Norton with the rest of the thugs" REALLY? That was just the start of it. I was kinda shocked, must have just been in the wrong part of the stands

Sorry, that was me. ;)

I tried to text you which you got too late, I was gonna yell at ya from Wave Dr as I was walking my fat ass back to the car.

As for the game, went as I expected just a little worse. Dude #53 and #70 were beast on the o-line. #53 especially.

We've got 53 again next year. He's the terminator.

Congrats on the upcoming little one Rock. Also, I will have to put up with the worst stat keeper in SWVA next Friday.

Bob?

No comment.....

I was hoping to see you do a Clintwood game this year so I could heckle you without any mercy.

I hope you get that chance because that would mean its a playoff game.

Worst? :laffingassoff:

I was just trying to gauge how fast you would find it. Friday night could be interesting. I really hope that snow comes.

Negative, I've made it the whole season without getting any paper wet, I'd rather not start now.

Thanks for congrats...its been a process...and not just the fun version but the multiple doctor visits type. Every hiccup is scary right now and with me and mom both being sick and going back and forth with it, I'm trying to be smart on things. Managing to drag myself to work most days. Feel bad most of the day, thankfully I got good people there who realize how dead and stressed I am and are helping me more than I can ever repay. I'm still not better, and deathly afraid I'll be out tomorrow too.

One advantage, nobody can say I'm a fairweather fan. I'm there less when we're winning...and yes that was said with a very pained force smile.

Completely understand the thoughts. Am sitting home tonight myself. Been through too much to go back now.

I actually dragged myself there tonight..layers and layers, and stupidity on my part for forgetting how wet Pounds field gets...boots would have helped

You stat guys need to invest in StatCrew. It will save you more time and headaches than you ever imagined. You can turn your stats into html files to upload to a website if the coach wants, it also allows for breakdowns that would take hours to do by hand.

I havent been to a highschool football game since JIB/PV 2008 (the one game pinkston played for Burton) I have been to one high school basketball game PHS senior night 2008 as well.

Ive watched some baseball games played by Science Hill, I plan on going to a few of their basketball games as well.
