Those refs were horrible. Can't find a clip but the game is on YouTube...it is in the last minute or so in the WCAC 2018 semifinal (Gonzaga at SJC). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingham did not “gift” BTW that game. I’m implying Bingham just quit on defense. If they played 10 times, 5 in South Jordan and 5 in Miami, Bingham wouldn’t lose at home and probably could have got 1 or 2 in Miami.

TheMaximumHornetSting Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Lowndes The Stone Palace.... no matter what anyone says... The Palace ain't no easy place to walk into and it most certainly ain't easy to walk out... Fan base is something else too... The stadium can hold about upwards of 16K-20K total and they never fail to fill it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bunch of starters didn't even play due to risk of injury (which was annoying) including their best WR, and still, the only thing preventing them from scoring was themselves. Bingham's dbs stood no chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
954gator Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 @Sweetlarry BTW had as good a resume as any in 2014 and were completely overlooked. Why BG in 2014? Not BTW? Especially since BTW BEAT BG (@BG) just the year prior. This kid sat out among others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDrop Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Either Elder’s The Pit previously noted or maybe the most difficult of all: Gonzaga on North Capitol street a half dozen blocks from the U. S. Capitol. A cramped stadium with great character. Several excellent photos of it are in this link. https://www.google.com/search?q=gonzaga+high+school+football+stadium&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#imgrc=AuGxmDQlJd2jgM: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
954gator Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 The hardest place to play is anywhere the refs have it in for you. Everybody wants to talk about crowds and noise, but corrupted zebras are the most difficult thing about road games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, if I could entice Coach Rogers to dump the Corky Kell and promote the Babe White Classic in Mack Tharpe on a Saturday evening...perhaps you guys could join us for a little "meet & greet"...(Smile).

Not even if Hawg was gonna foot the bill. With Rush being out....use of the Lear jets are no longer an option. Besides...we make a helluva lot more pesos when we play at home.

Rufus>> I hear 'ya, unfortunately that's kinda what happens with success, no longer have to travel (kinda what happened with my Rebs too).

This statement is a complete mindfuck. So because of success a team no longer has to travel? And this is what happen to West Monroe. But what success has West Monroe had recently? And what rule states that a successful team no longer has to travel? Or can't travel? Huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh? not in disagreement, just sayin it can become the mindset, especially with older coaches (like Shows and Arledge). Everytime Arledge is approached his response is "I like to sleep in my own bed, if they want to play let 'em come." Really think (as do many others round here) it's why WM is no longer relevant on the National scene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do not hafta travel. We actually have OOS people calling us to come to Mack Tharpe. The scrimmage in Lake City is the exception. Unfortunately, we have problems finding Georgia schools to scrimmage before opening night (or Saturday afternoon in our case). When Columbia had the cancellation...we took it. It's a little less than 2 hours one way. And...we're scrimmaging a decent Florida team. A reasonable exception. But as a rule...we like to play at home. We make good money and you'd be surprised who will make the trip. Uh, we do pay pretty well....(Smile). So...I agree...a team like Colquitt and West Monroe doesn't hafta travel. We do enough of that in the Georgia playoffs. Rufus>> 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMaximumHornetSting Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 In Georgia: Mack Tharpe @HawgGoneIt- Colquitt needs to do something about that damn graveyard across the road from the football stadium... It's unsettling... Lowndes- The Stone Palace as I've said before is Loud,huge and the fans are obnoxious but they support their team they always fill up the stadium. During Valdosta vs Lowndes games the city practically becomes a ghost town... Mconell-Tolbert Stadium in Warner Robins- both Northside WR and Warner robins HS share this stadium and it's hostile all the time. Houston County also plays there but they're a non-factor now that Jake Fromm ain't there... Camden County- the swamp folks have made a name for themselves. Those rowdy rowdy Wildcats...
