You know, i registered for this thread alone. Back when i played football (not 1984....that was my number), we had a different tradition, we won football games. I can't imagine the guys in jr. high are thinking watching my class go 12 - 4 in one season and they finally get their chance to shine and they go 2 - 8. Everything we did in the program was towards the goal of state. Now it's a winning season or district. I'm not making fun of the guys, because i feel for them. And i know within the next year or so they will be back on track. As for this whole Kirbyville bit. There are good people in Kirbyville, in fact some of the kindest people i know are from K-ville. But you want to gripe about putting something on a senior video. Well, i am reminded of my Junior year when i came to the field house ( two days before homecoming which we played the wildcats) and on our fieldhouse was spray painted " Jasper Sucks" and " K-Ville". And then after they won the game, the players did penguin slides on the bulldog on the center of our field and kicked at the turf to mess it up. When i was in high school, i hated Kirbyville. I thought they were a bunch of classless thugs that had no respect for the game or themselves. I even hated driving through the town because it depressed me (though jasper does at times too). A few words of wisdom to the people from Kirbyville, fans and players, enjoy the winning. But take pride and be classy about it. You never know when your next season could be a complete bomb. As for the rivalry in general, it's fun. But don't let it take over your life. If you still live in your community and are active with boosters or have children who play, i can see you getting into it. But as for the people who are in high school, Jasper and Kirbyville, get over it, in a few years, hopefully you will be in a college that is at least 3+ hours away from your town and this won't really mean anything anymore.
