So umm tell me brown what happends when u get a cocky pirate? they sink with the ship! Oh and cuppett777 please tell me u was there for the 06 year scrimage at Belfry what was the final score of that one do u remember umm 42-0 is what it looked like to me so dodged the bullet ther didnt ya buddy!:moon:

I have kind of held my tongue and fingers to lay off some of the JC fans. Scrimmages do not count. Matney looks at each contest, be it a game or a scrimmage, as the most important thing going on in the world at that time. That is fine. Coaches prepare differently. Maybe JC would have won in 06, but they did not play. They did play last year and JC got the holy crap beat out of them. It was never a game except for a couple of big pass plays. The three-headed monster of Grim, and Dillon and Richardson was beheaded. Belfry had 3 backs of their own that were flat out better than JC. Now, that was last year. This year will be decided on the field. As I have said in other posts, Matney will bill this game as life or death. I honestly believe JC will be a favorite and deservedly so. I believe right now they are better than Belfry. I don't think Belfry is as stout up front as they were last year. But what gets me is the total lack of respect JC fans are giving the Pirates. Believe me, Belfry repects and wishes JC the best, but remeber that Belfry is The Program in these parts. JC is not. They have improved so much since Matney has arrived and I believe they will continue to do so. They may very well beat Belfry this year and if they do they will deserve it, but Belfry does not measure their success by the JC game. They measure it by how they end the year: usually at least in the final four, a place JC has found how many times in their history??? A little dose of humility would help you Central folks until you actually accomplish something other than beating Ashland or Montgomery County in the playoffs. Getting blasted by Cov Cath and Lincoln County should be a lesson that maybe your program is not quite at the statewide level that you think you are.
