I didn't get to see the game last night at Withrow, but it sounds like more of the same story with Dale tuning up his team and not showing all his cards. At least I hope that is the case. I can guarantee one thing; that the Highlands Bluebirds at home, live on national television, will undoubtedly hold nothing back and throw everything they have at the Bombers. If Dale was serious about his hopes for a national championship, they hinge on the outcome of this game. I don't think many people see Highlands winning, but if they can muster out a respectable performance, they still win in my opinion. I look for them to blast Boone early next week so Dale can rest his starters for the Sept. 25th showdown. So yes, Dale will show his entire hand next week against Boone. It better be good or he's going to have some pie on his face for his overinflated preseason comments.....

Your post has me nodding my head in agreement and chuckling at the same time.

You take Dale's talk of hoping for a national championship way too seriously. Do you really believe Dale thinks that they can be national champions if they go 15-0? Don't mean to insult, but Dale is a very smart person and knows better. A top 15 or 20 ranking perhaps.

Dale is very predictable in that he is always unpredictable. And he likes that "reputation". When you think he's going to run, he passes. When you think he's going to play a certain player, he doesn't. When you think he's going to open up the O, he doesn't. I don't think he'll open the O this week against Boone, so you may be right. Dale has a lot of people in Ft. Thomas thinking he's going to really open it up against X and run all kinds of plays, which means he'll probably stick with the counter and long passes to Buten.

Dale is Dale and I've learned a long time ago not to try and figure out what he's going to do next.

Oh and if there is one person who couldn't give a hoot in you know where about overinflated preseason comments, it's Dale.
