[Hoot Gibson]

You're not only an idiot Hoot Gibson but ignorant as well. The belfry-JC score in 2010 was 42-7 but I suppose Matney wouldn't run the score up because of his allegiance. PLEASE, you're delusional.

All anybody has to do is look at JC's scores against teams like East Carter and Boyd County this season to know that your idiotic statement about Matney beating teams like Phelps as bad as possible is just that...idiotic. Matney substitutes early and often against out-manned teams - the only exceptions being coaches who have run up the score on his teams. JC could have beaten East Carter by 100 points this season but instead, beat them by about the same margin that Cabell Midland beat Belfry the same weekend.

The 2010 Johnson Central team could have beaten Belfry worse that 42-7 if Matney had not called off the dogs. Belfry beat East Ridge 52-0 the week before losing to JC. Did Haywood run up the score against them? Central pounded the Pirates 46-7 in the state finals that same season. Did Scroggins run up the score?

If Belfry continues to put the ball on the ground 7 times a game, Matney will have to get creative to hold down the score this season too, but I expect that the Pirates will play much better in the final regular season than they have been recently.

If this Belfry team is as weak as the 2010 team was, then the Oct. 30 game will be a short one with a running clock. If that happens, it won't be Matney's fault. But it is a little early to be making excuses for that game, isn't it Fundamentals?
