Naccarato is 3-1 against HSC as starting quarterback, Nance is 1-2 against RMC. Advantage, Naccarato!
2 ODAC Championships for Nance 0 for Naccarato. Advantage Nance.
What do you think the HSC seniors (and fans) will remember in 25 years? Losing to RMC in convincing fashion (being beat in all phases of the game), or backing into a Championship when they may be the fourth or fifth best team in the conference. I think that several HSC guys this morning would rather have the RMC win than a less than stellar or convincing ODAC championship. I suspect that GC, EHC, BC, or even RMC would fare better next week than HSC.
25 years from now? I'm thinking since all of the "The Game" t-shirts RMC players own will have faded out they won't have much to remind them. The HSC players can all look at the hand and see 3 ODAC Championship rings.
HSC plays to win the ODAC. Pedro woke up this morning and reset his "Days til We Play HSC" countdown clock.
Just so you know I don't have a clue as to who "The Game" 25 years ago. I'd have to look it up.
If you'd played 25 years ago, you'd remember!
Spoken like a true Macon fan!
As a member of the 2014 ODAC Champion Tigers, I can tell you that you are wrong. Luckily, we at H-SC do not think like you all do. Obviously, we would like to have won The Game, but our seasons are dedicated to winning ODACs and competing on the national level. We begin thinking about macon on November 9th, and stop thinking about Macon on november 15th while you all count down the days until you play us. It's a different kind of kool-aid that you all drink in Ashland. You hate us because Pedro tells you that we don't do things the right way, that we aren't as dedicated as you all, and that is fine, but you are wrong in that I would not rather have the RMC win over a "less than stellar or convincing ODAC championship". I am no longer thinking about Macon, nor will I be cleaning out my locker tomorrow. Instead, this morning I thought about how great it is that I get to spend another week with my teammates, regardless of what has happened or will happen.
In 25 years, I will be looking at my three ODAC championship rings proudly displayed in my home. Unfortunately for you all, a game ball trophy cannot be worn on one's hand. My 115 teammates and I will have our 2014 rings forever, and we will proudly wear them when we return to future editions of The Game.
What will RMC players and fans remember in 25 years? Beating H-SC in a "convincing fashion" in 2014, or Going 3-1 against H-SC, yet NEVER winning an ODAC championship or making a playoff appearance? They will hate H-SC for the rest of their lives because they will have nothing to show for having beaten us. Our rings say "ODAC champs", not "we beat Macon". This is what sets H-SC and RMC apart, for we simply think and act differently.
Congratulations on your victory in The Game. Enjoy cleaning out your lockers tomorrow as it is always a bittersweet day. Luckily for me, I will be practicing with my team this week, and soon, I will get sized for a ring.
