I'm with you. I'm tired of hearing Raceland/Belfry. Raceland needs to win a State Championship, and then, and then only, they may hold Belfry Jock straps. Raceland is having a good season and I wish them well. Don't compare them with teams that have won it all. They are not even in the same class YET.. Denton and Carver may win it all for Raceland.

I would say without hesitation that Raceland does not have anyone on the same overall level as Lee, Varney, and Elkins collaboratively.

Yes they do.

Denton, Carver, and Boyles are every bit as good as Lee, Varney and Elkins if not better. Denton is probably the best football player of the bunch.

Where Belfry is better is up front.

EKUAlum05 Wrote:The only thing I would add is that Belfry's DE's have got to be able to shed blocks and not get caught up chicken fighting. The inside running game isn't what worries me in the Wing T, what worries me is when Russell runs the sweep or playfakes with the QB and he bootlegs. The DE's have got to close off the corners and the LB's have to be able to read and pursue to the play. Hall and Lee have enough speed and athleticism that if they can get off their blocks they should have no trouble stringing out the play long enough for pursuit to close.

If you look at the last three games with Russell the majority of their yards have came from runs designed to go off the corner, the bootleg, and the pass. If Belfry can take away the outside running game I have no problem taking my chances with Russell's inside game and passing.

Yes, that is what Belfry should game plan for. Just take away the sweeps and the bootleg. String everything out and you should have no problems.

I think Joe would agree. He is so fired up right now he can't contain himself. Word has it that he may just shed his shirt and brave the cold weather with just his skin. Maybe then we would get to see all his Logan tattoos...Jk, big Joe. I can't wait until tomorrow either.

I am tired of this weight watcher stuff. Joe needs to be a real man and come and eat steak and ribs and other great stuff at the tailgate with some of the great Russell fans.

KYHeavyLifter · 11-21-2008, 12:01 AM

Belfry knows some football, but this will be a close one. If Belfry's D plays like they did at JC they should take this one.

Our Pirates need a little "Lunatic Fringe" tomorrow night. That always seemed to get us going when we were getting ready for a big game and it "seemed" that the odds were against us.:rockon:

Russell fans be careful and have a safe trip to the CAM tomorrow night.

They play it each game as Belfry takes the field for warmups

**FBALL** · 11-21-2008, 02:03 AM

Is anyone going to talk about the game anymore?

If not I did get a scouting report that said Ivan Lee has beautiful eyes.

**BelfryPride** · 11-21-2008, 02:05 AM

I will have a BGR sign put up near the food tables at the tailgate. We can all meet up there, eat and socialize a little before the game!!!
