Rufus69 Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 ....so far. Westlake, Cedar Grove, Heritage and Alcovy have left the building due to COVID. That happens to be 4 home games as well. There is a rumor...and it's only a rumor...that Milton might come to the rescue for one of the games...but things aren't looking good for the 3 other replacements. I don't blame HawgGoneIt. Other people do...but I don't. I suppose we could play Marietta 4 times instead of once...but they'd hafta come south at least twice. Oh Woe Is Us !!!!

Sweetlarry Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 I’m not sure the GHSA would allow us 13/14 games, though undoubtedly the kids would like the extra work preparing for region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, we'd welcome a trip up to Suwanee! I was looking forward to the Westlake game and I'm a little sad that's cancelled. Cedar Grove would have been fun as well. Milton and Colquitt should provide a nice revenge for the 2018 state championship game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2018 Colquitt/Milton game is a thing of the past. We lost it. Nothing will make up for it. Nothing. If we play in 2020...that game will stand on its on. Neither the past nor future will impact it. I mean...it ain't like they're Lowndes....................... Rufus>> 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HELL NO to the "Nth" degree.... You should know that. Rufus>> 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the week leading up that game, I heard a lot of chatter that it was a "revenge game" (with a little influence from the Moultrie Observer). And the victory seemed satisfying enough to warrant a "revenge gotten" status. But I guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks But the North Gwinnett-Colquitt game was a playoff game in 2018. It was the quarterfinals and they destroyed us, 45-0. You can't possibly think that revenge wasn't on their minds after what happened in 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetlarry Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 There is no revenge game kid. Let it go. State title games are their own singular entity and nothing will make up for it if a team loses. Those seniors who lost aren’t getting revenge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawgGoneIt Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Yeah, I guess that does open the door for them to fill a game somewhere as their season is in turmoil due to starting later than other teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't that affect playoffs though? They have to start two weeks late but can't give up their bye weeks. So that definitely has to affect playoffs.

Not sure how we can honestly have a meaningful season with so many different types of takes on what should be done. Seems like leadership is pretty willy nilly tbh. No way to have a true legit champ this year with so many teams opting out or playing less games or whatever other number of different angles can be found to nit pick.

No way to have a true legit champ this year with so many teams opting out or playing less games or whatever other number of different angles can be found to nit pick. I don't think we've had any true championship-caliber teams drop out yet. We could have definitely had better leadership and I honestly think it would have been better to start playing in August. Now, there's just too many scheduling issues and problems with dates and times for a season to happen. Giant asterisk to follow. I doubt we'll get through 2 weeks before it gets cancelled. For that reason alone, I think I'm going to watch every game on the Saturday of Corky Kell in person. Our band canceled all away games, which sucks.

Guess we just have to wait until Friday to see Alabam teams in action. That's the first real state of football action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the competition is not the same as "normal" it doesn't matter. They suited up, faced the challenges they had, and persevered. Especially this year that will count for something. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
