legacy - any word on the pitts injury situation?...need some info for my pick 'ems

Good question, narch. Let me get back to you on that.

What do you all think is a good measure of success? Winning the title?  Winning the conference?  Beating Mount Union?  .  I know it is a simple question, but GC is playing SU saturday not much to talk about in that game.

Just Thoughts:  I had a football coach tell me not so long ago, sometimes all it takes is one win, to get you going. I think Maryville's double OT win, was the win they needed.  Once GC takes down CNU, AU or FC.  It might be the win they needed to get them finally on the winning side of a record.

Congrats to J. Hughley on back to back offensive player of the week awards. Honestly, you could triple cover him and he'll win the award every week. That is, as long as Parsons has time to throw it.

varies by program and year - for gc, a winning record would be a good place to start

he was triple covered on the big sideline catch at the end of the first half on saturday...that was a HUGE play that might have made the difference in the game - perfectly thrown ball and a great catch...he's a stud

narch,
I'm told Pitts sat out only one series last week and came back into the game for the final drive. He's fine and will be playing this weekend.

"a winning record would be a good place to start". Ouch. Narch has had the problem of telling the truth but now has found his stride.

Totally agree with you, Narch.  (Now, that's scary!) 

But to do that The Pride will need beat two of these three teams:
Averett, Methodist, Ferrum - which two? 

To finish at .500 they will need to beat one of those three . . . . which one is the most likely victim? 

And that is assuming they beat Shenandoah and NC Wesleyan . . . 

Of course I need someone to check my math -hey, eh-you - yeah, you - you were a math major, right? Help me out here . . . 

BTW, I am still accepting Karma . . . .

Funny thing about karma.  Asking for it often doesn't yield the desired results.

"The truth will set you free."  Honestly, after being 1-9 in 2005 and sitting at 2-3 in 2006, I think the Pride will finish somewhere around 4-6.  I hope they'll finish at .500 or above, but a three win improvement is still a significant step in the right direction.  I know the Pride faithful wanted to catapult from 1-9 last fall to 2006 conference champs, but I just don't see it yet.   Fairy tales can come true, but I don't think it's happening this year.  Good luck the rest of the season.  Peace

There once were some posters a pleading
For thumbs up in karma they're needing.
They begged all the others,
"Please, help your poor brothers!"
Weak eyes, but those aren't thumbs I'm reading!

Good things (and karma) will come to those who wait.

Narch, looks like we opened up the passing game a little bit this week.  Was that due to the game or does the coaching staff feel more comfortable with Parks throwing the ball?
Looks like we finally got the run game going.  We will need it this week to counter FC's rushing attack.

Papi
Looks like you will be busy this week with that Nor'ester brewing. Stay bouyant

OK, so DITTO . . . . .  .



geez, try to be nice to some people . . . .

back on the topic of measuring succes...

here is what i think the measure of success for each team was before the season (and how likely it is the team will acheive that measure) - this isn't necessarily what i think measures success, but what i think each coach and each team's fans expected to be able to realistically acheive, so there is MUCH conjecture here - listed in order of my personal pre-season expectations for where each team would finish:

averett - getting to the playoffs for the first time in program history and surviving the first 2 weeks of the season (still possible and i'd say they clearly survived the schedule)

cnu - getting back to the playoffs and winning a game (still possible, maybe even probable)

ferrum - 7 - 8 wins competing for a conference championship (probably playing spoiler role with 2 losses)

methodist - 7-8 wins and competing for a conference championship (probably playing spoiler role with 2 losses)

ncwc - winning season (still possible, but losses to ehc and nna hurt)

g'boro - winning season (still possible, but i don't see it happening)

m'ville - winning conference record and improving from week to week (very much possible, especially after big wins the last 2 weeks)

su - win a conference game or 2 (i don't see this happening, either)

A new coach is about the only thing GC needs to "get it going"...until then.....I'll mark a W each year for CNU.
