Spend a game in the pressbox sometime and your feelings might change.

I don't think I would enjoy that too much, I like being in the trenches during a battle. The feeling isn't the same. This is going to be a battle that will be won by heart and mental preparedness. Its all in who wants it the most. The fans may talk big and expect the Belfry team to just roll all over Russell. But like I said earlier talk is cheap. These are kids learning to become adults, so mistakes are going to be made by both. The fans are going to make this game exciting for them and memories that will last a lifetime. Don't ruin the hopes and dreams by talking down to them. But encourage a sportsman like atmosphere. Where the better team wins with heart and the belief that they are champions. Just ask them to leave it all on the field!!!
