[EKUAlum05]

EKU, Russell seems to have shored up some of their mistakes lately... but then again they haven't seen a team like Belfry since maybe Pikeville, and that night didn't end so well. The past two weeks, offensively, have been hard to figure. A lot of drives have stalled because of a missed block here or there. Lately, they have been penalty and turnover free. It will be interesting to see if they can keep a clean sheet if Belfry's strength and speed forces Russell to tighten up in key situations. Physically, the closest team Russell has seen to Belfry is Ironton, but the Devils have come a long way since that game. You all know a thing or two about Ironton down on Pond Creek... btw I appreciate the detailed critique.

Ironton is as good of a warm up to Belfry's physicality as you will find! Glad to see the Tigers starting to regain their form.

Have tremendous respect for Russell and think this is the tip of the iceberg with Maynard at the helm and the youth of their roster. One of my favorite fan bases to interact with by far. I legitimately was a fan of the 04 and 05 Russell teams. Was legitimately upset that the 05 team got the shaft by having to play Mercer because that was a bogus deal. That team never should have been in 2A.

If only you all could get rid if the FBALL guy... But I hear he is more of a Raceland fan now anyway and probably will go to their game Friday instead
