Im ready for the new region b

I wouldnt say it was used as motivation as in bulletin board material. But there are a bunch of players and parents across the entire state that read this religiously so I am sure it is talked about like us old guys do on the fence row.

I can tell you as a fan I got tired of hearing how dominate they were this year versus last and that their Defense was lights out and would shut down a running team (ie Riverheads). It’s been said over and over by people quoting Mike Tyson, “everybody has a plan until they get hit in the mouth”.

Talk is just that, talk. Inside those lines is where that talking stops and play dictates who wins. You can’t talk your way into a win no matter how good a salesman you are. Performance will trump talk all day every day.
The season is over just having fun man

Trust me, there often is a lot of talking between plays (in the pile etc) - and that includes, I would bet on occasion, even some kids on the Red Team...:)

all part of the game...some handle it better than others. But yes I know what you are saying.

Oh there is no doubt about the talking in the pile and I am acutely aware of some of that. I was referring to the pregame bs to get hype about the game. The in game stuff is going to happen and some feed off of it and some cower to it. Hard to talk $h!t when you getting blowed off the ball 3-4 yards every play. You look up and the half is gone and you only possessed it 3 times.

Trust me when I say, there is nothing more satisfying than to hear the fans or see the opposing players getting hype for stopping a 3-4 yard gain. After several of them in a row, you hear crickets and see the shoulders starting to drop. Gotta love RPO.

I have heard rumors about next year's schedule just like everyone else has but I intentionally steered away from discussing it because it was not official information. But since others have brought up certain names, I will just add that I also have heard W & L instead of Colonial Beach, and I have heard the Glenvar rumor. I have also heard that we will play a non-district 3-A team from "up north" in addition to at least two 3-A teams in our own district...Fort and Wilson. So as someone said, if we go even as much as 7-3 or 8-2, the points should be there to get us a favorable playoff spot.

They aren't rumors, they were posted in the paper. That article was posted on this board
