I've been looking at the brackets and Colquitt has the toughest 1st round and probably the toughest over all path altogether. For Colquitt to make the state chip, they'll have to defeat Brookwood, Norcross and Grayson, assuming Norcross and Grayson win out until facing Colquitt. Also, there is no love lost between Brookwood and Colquitt. Last time Brookwood came down the coach and some fans made a big stink about Colquitt being racist and segregated at the Pen. Add to that some baseball meetings around 2011-12 (can't remember the exact year but the house was packed) or so where the Brookwood students all showed up wearing overalls and straw hats and chastised the Colquitt fans so much that between game one and game two the school had to take the students aside and make them tone down their stuff. I hope they bring as many as we would allow down on Friday and witness some more southern hospitality. Philip "Jesus" Jones...the HC at Brookwood could solve all the segregation problems in Mack Tharpe with a waive of his hand...or perhaps a POST ON FACEBOOK. I'm sure he's personally looking forward to returning to the Hawg Pen where he's LOVED by so many. But...with that said...Brookwood will be a TOUGH 1st round opponent. Not a gimme game.

Off topic: I have heard on several occasions that there is some segregation at Colquitt home games. Always wondered if that was actually true or not.

If it's a touchy subject, then we can turn the page. During actual segregation, when there was two high schools depending on your race, what is now the visitor side was the home side. Due to that,, a lot of African Americans and some Caucasian folks sit on that side in what we now call the Hawg Pound. Its a by choice thing and not some ignorant bullshit like the Brookwood coach tried to make out the last visit down. A pretty diverse group of people sit on the home side, maybe more diverse than the Hawg Pound. We have a good amount of Hispanic folks and people of color in general sit in the section where I sit. The reserve section is mostly white though but not all. Then the opposite end of the home stands is also pretty diverse. Again this is mostly by choice and not some bullshit like folks make it out to be. Idk if that helps clear anything up or not. Maybe? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colquitt is way too prominent for segregation to have occurred and it not been spread to the masses, especially with the Propst haters over the years. Bottom line is people at any event regardless of sports predominantly sit next to their family so a white man is probably sitting next to a white man, a black man next to a black man, and a hispanic person next to his. Throw in a few friends of each with their families and there you have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably a thing where outsiders see majority of the caucasians sitting in the reserve section and the minorities sitting together in other areas of the stadium as to why the segregation rumours are thrown around. I do remember hearing the Brookwood coach say something about this whole ordeal, but I've also heard the same sentiments from a couple of south georgia schools and a few atlanta area schools.

No special teams points, no pick 6s, no scoop and scores from fumbles and see what he says. Many games have been won due to non offensive scored points. Those are known facts. Losing because you don't smell the endzone is also fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just said that a lot of black people sit in the Hawg Pound. It isn't all black though. I can clearly pick out white faces from all the way across the stadium where I sit. And, I can turn to my right and talk to some Hispanic folks, and look up over my right should or left shoulder and see blacks, Hispanics and white folks all sat together. People are always trying to spin it in some negative fashion. How about Lovejoy come down and win a football game and all of the sudden Lovejoy fans are much more satisfied with how folks sit at Colquitt. Same for Brookwood. What it really boils down to is salt in the wounds by the Hawg Pound crowd. They get a little rowdy over there and smack talk the visiting fans from across the fence and they get to feeling uncomfortable. Usually they are leaving with an ass whipping on the field so all they can do is take jabs at the crowd and community. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 They're actually lucky that there is a visitor/home crowd segregation though. Colquitt doesn't allow home fans to sit from the south 30yard line to the north end zone like a lot of other region 1 stadiums do. Thats some real segregation there. And intentional too. Maybe dummies would like it better if they opened that whole side to home crowd folks. Then they couldn't complain about "segregation."
