Coach Barbay didn't seem to optimistic about Hunt playing this morning on the radio show. That could be gamesmanship, though, in case someone from Orange was listening.

Sorry AAW. I'm working off of very little sleep the past two nights. I hope we get to play the Tigers next week. That would be the biggest Jasper/Silsbee game in the history of the rivalry because of what would be at stake.

I'd put Pleasant Grove at #3 behind our teams. They're really good. I'm not so sure about Gilmer, but they're playing well when it matters the most...

I agree with you, j_dog. This very well could be the de facto state title game.

Don't shoot me. I said maybe. I haven't forgotten about some of those early-mid 80's teams. This is definitely the most complete team we've had since then.

I've been pretty quiet this week so far, but I will say this: Over thirty years of history means absolutely nothing this week. This Jasper team doesn't have that "here we go again" mindset that has hurt us in the past. I truly believe that this is one of the best, if not the best, team Jasper's ever had. We've played like a championship team from the start like WOS often does. JasperDAWG and I have seen a lot of the same football over the years and I also have a ton of respect for the Mustangs. Both of these teams right at this moment are very good and it's gonna be a classic. I think the winner of this game just might win it all. Let's play a good, clean game and see who is left standing when it's all over. I can't wait!

If Jasper Fan is a player, he needs to stop talking and get ready to play. I would imagine that even if he is right, no one wants that information leaked. I'll wait for the official word tomorrow. I don't think anyone knows anything yet.

LU is up 6-0 already. Good to see them in the playoffs.

Is there a Wal-Mart in Buna?

Just play the damn game in Orange. I'm being sarcastic, but we old school Jasper fans would play WOS in the Wal-Mart parking lot.

Jasper was very sloppy tonight. If that happens again, we'll be done next week. Hunt might be back next week and that would really help us. I like a couple of the backups a lot, but they're not the gamebreaker that he is. Should be a classic...

Both teams are playing well on defense. Next week is gonna be a slobber knocker and could go either way.

Previous season low was 31 against Lumberton. Bellville played their butts off.

Pretty sloppy game. Lots of penalties at the worst time for the Bulldogs. Hats off to the Brahmas. They did a great job defensively.

I don't always buy into the weak schedule discussion. I think Jasper is too solid on both sides of the ball to not show up against really good teams.

They would play each other.

Either team would make me nervous. If Sweeny's defense is as good as they've shown, that will be a tough game for us. Any game against WOS makes me feel the same way. It's all about matchups on a given night. Any of these games can go sideways really quickly with penalties and turnovers. Best of luck to both teams this week. I hope Jasper can play well and get a shot at either of these teams...

The winner of this game gets the winner of the WOS/Sweeny game. I objectively believe that Jasper is the favorite in Region 3 to at least make the state semifinals as it's the deepest Bulldog team in a very long time. I'll start this thread by taking Jasper by 21.

Might be a low scoring game. Sweeny's defense has been salty all season and WOS will have its hands full. This one's hard to predict.

There have been lots of instances in our history that we've been good like this and lost games that we shouldn't have in the playoffs. This year seems rare to me and I've been following the Bulldogs since 1982. We've never won a state title and I think this team could be the one to do it, but you never know. In '82, we were 12-0 with 23 points allowed for the season and Thurman Thomas went nuts on us and we lost 34-7 to Willowridge. Anything can happen, but I hope the Bulldogs play their brand of football next week.

Looking forward to it.

Yeah, but I'm not sure how. We've had a ton of Limbricks come through the program. From the sounds of it, he's every bit as good as Hunt. He's a sophomore and Hunt is a junior.

Final: Jasper 49, HF 14

Jasper scores on another long TD run by Carl Limbrick. He's gotta be at around 175 for the night along with 3 TD runs.

HF scores again. 42-14 Jasper.
