[Panther Thunder]

Who has Pikeville beat in the past 10 years to consider it an "accomplishment"? Belfry carries this bowl. If the Pikeville fans had to travel like the Belfry fans used to then this bowl would have died out long ago.

Well look at who they play. They bring in some of the best.

Pikeville uses this games to not only try to bring out a crowd, but get better and learn what will and won't work against the better Class A teams. It's the first game of the year, it doesn't mean anything. Would you like to win? Yes, but It would be better to play a very good team and see what you need to work on, than go out and beat some 0-10 team by 50.
