[quote name="jtown star" post="875664" timestamp="1287186762"] I'm declaring this game the boring bowl...sad to say, I would be in the press box at kville but they are off this week [/quote] It will not be so boring if Huntington starts bringing it to the dogs.  What scares me the most is Jasper seeming to be taking a team lightly.

The "normal" is different at different schools.  Some schools would love to have Jaspers prospects this year.  Once upon a time, Jasper fans "expected" to win district on average about every five or so years and were pretty content with that.  That was even the line from the coaches.  Then they learned that they could win just about every year.  Those expectations are the new "normal" for Jasper.  Anything less and you will have restless fans in Jasper.  That is just the reality and I suspect that anyone applying to coach football at Jasper understands that. Personally, I hope the current coach turns things around and gets the team back to a competitive level.  I think it is still possible that it can be done.  I just do not buy the idea that the talent level is down so much that Jasper cannot at least be competitive in the fourth quarter of football games.

This is Huntington's best chance ever to beat Jasper.  Jasper better bring their "A" game. I honestly question whether Jasper still has what it takes to win this game.  At the start of the season, it should have been a gimme, now .....?

there is still life left in the Newton Eagles!  :)

[/quote] manny's is "okay", but certainly not a Don's Seafood.

Newton will prevail.  Tough times never last, but tough teams do.

[quote name="no-look" post="869772" timestamp="1286593633"] Why did Kville kick off to start both halves?................ [/quote] Huntington wanted to play defense..  ;)

Since Walkoviak was still coaching at Jasper when he left, I do not know anything about Jasper's "turning him down".  Perhaps he wanted a raise and didn't get it? Regardless, I am happy to see him do well. [/quote] Actually Alvarez could have came to Jasper the year Brooks came back (But instead they re-signed Brooks). The only reason he didnt come is because they wouldnt offer him a two year contract they only offered him a one so Alvarez turned Jasper down Jasper didnt turn Alvarez down. [/quote] well Jasper clearly made a huge mistake then.  Alvarez is a proven commodity.  He has won year after year with whatever kids came along.  Contrast that to coaches that move to "greener pastures" when the talent pipeline for any given year goes dry.  That kind of hides a coach's true talents.  There is no question about Alvarez, he is the real deal.

[quote name="JB94" post="866188" timestamp="1286249346"] .....Jasper hasn't had a good coach willing to commit to the program long term since Walkoviak. [/quote] and his WORST record for any given year was 4 wins and 5 losses in 1985.

[quote name="setxguru" post="865678" timestamp="1286219282"] ......  This team has been through alot the past two weeks and should be commended for how they have handled the adversity.    [/quote] Absolutely true!

You are right.  Jasper has always come back.  The big question is whether they can do it this year.  This game with Center will tell a lot.

Sam rolled on...  back to Huntsville with the win.  ;)

Is Sam playing the freshman QB?  He put the britches on Gardner Webb last week.

Jasper is the definite underDOG.  The game is at Center, Center is mad from last year, and Center has won twice as many games as Jasper.  Jasper will score on Center, Center will score more. Bet your lunch money on Center.  :(

OF 49-30 final. Congratulations OF!  u put a country whipping on the dogs.

Garbage time, Jasper score by Armstrong. 49-30 now.  minute plus to go.  Jasper onside kick coming?

Of scores, 49-22 xp wide.  :o

[quote name="Kvillecats" post="863226" timestamp="1285986590"] who scored for jasper [/quote] sorry, didn't hear.

[quote name="JB94" post="863220" timestamp="1285986526"] [quote author=j_dog link=topic=73814.msg863060#msg863060 date=1285984010] the dogs cannot win by reading their press clippings.  from the way it looks right now, jasper will do good if they can somehow squeeze into the third spot......  if they needed a wake up call, (and they shouldn't need it), this is it!!!! [/quote] Jasper misses the playoffs this year and if things continue the way they are, they won't make it for years to come. [/quote] things will not continue this way.  you can count on that.

[quote name="JB94" post="863203" timestamp="1285986353"] Youth has nothing to do with the kind of drubbing that Jasper is receiving. [/quote] I agree with that!  This is the fifth game of the year.  Time to have the youth problems solved.
