Never could find the radio broadcast link… I assume it’s over?

I’d love to give them kudos for something. But… Mama told me if you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say anything at all.

LP finally got their defensive players back on D last week against y’all. I didn’t realize it, but the Dawgs had their DL and some others having to play OL and other positions because of injuries in Game 1. The LP D was using backups to fill. Berneathy discussed it finally earlier this week. That’s been the D issue. I think all the starting OL is back now except one lost for the year. He’s a Jr. So, at least he has another year.

Don’t know how it is over there. But, whoever has the better run game has a ‘leg up’ tonight it appears. It’s windy as heck over here. Don’t spit into the wind, or mess with Slim.

Wouldn’t be much of a cut… Now, if you’re talking nose & ear hair, then we’re getting serious. 😜😅🤣

They're high school kids, so you never know. But, I think they'll be focused enough. They're on the normal Berneathy trajectory. He schedules tough--win or lose--to find team weaknesses. Then, it usually takes the staff 2 or 3 games after predistrict to kind of set a lineup, and start building from there. This year's been a little tougher because of all the injuries. But, it's starting to come together again. I said this season kind of reminded me of 2024. It still does. But, the O is a lot more versatile. Teams actually have to respect the passing attack this year. So, it’s harder for them to stack the box.

I agree with Stepp on this one. I just think the Bruin's O is a little hotter right now. But, this rivalry game is bigger than normal even, with PO spots on the line. So, it wouldn't surprise me for either team to pull out a tough win. I do like BU's coach from what I heard from him in the early interview this year with Stepp. I think he's got the Timberwolves moving in the right direction.

Stepp has LP by 17. LP just needs to stay focused, stay TO free, and keep improving on D. Getting some players back from injury helped last week. They could finally move them back from subbing for injuries on O to the D. You could tell the difference. They've been having to play O since injuries in Week 1, and it had really effected the D. I don't know the status of the NG that had to be carted off last week against PAM. If he's out for a period of time, it's another big injury loss for LP that will make them have to shuffle lineups again. LP hasn't had much luck on the injury front this year. But, the staff and players have found a way to keep things together for the most part, and it's actually made them a little more versatile with player positioning. With all the adversity this year, I don't see them having a let down. If they do, RSS has the ability to take advantage. If possible, I see them resting Simon more this game again, and letting Dieudonne have more carries. It seems they're trying to keep Simon as rested as possible for a postseason run. I can see them using the passing game a little more in this contest to keep that part of their attack in sync and effective. It looks like the game will be on HUDL.

A good discussion on 9-5A and the Beaumont Bowl.

Congrats to the young man! Do y’all know if he’ll being doing track & football, or just football?

Bruins seem to be playing their best ball right now. So, I have no clue. With a rivalry game, these kids knowing each other so well and all, it sounds really exciting! I assume the stadium will be overflow?

Should be a really good game. Both teams have some good players. Bruins can't afford another loss. Wish I could see it.

It has become a common practice for the past couple of years. The Captains started the ritual to get everyone to refocus.

Y’all would have to win out & LP would have to lose two games for PAM to get title and #1 seed. No tiebreak will help you as you lose the head-to-head with La Porte, and BU has already lost a game. If the Dawgs were to only lose one game, it would have to be to BU, and BU would have to win out, for LP to not be DC & #1 seed. That would still put PAM at #3 seed. Y’all need to win out to hold #2. Y’all’s game against BU is BIG. If the Dawgs take care of business and win out, it’s over, and LP will win their 4th consecutive District Championship with 25 straight district wins between 2 different districts.
