The "Battle for Bowl Eligibility"

I'm with you on this but my number would be 12 and let the top 4 have a bye.

I read the article when it happened last spring. Would it have to do with the other people involved being from TN? I have watched more than one family destroyed by that crap.
Hopefully this election will help turn the tide against the Pres and the EPA. The whole area needs it badly. I believe jobs give people self esteem and keep them away from drugs. Idle hands are the devils workshop. Pray for things to get better for all of SWVA.
We can pick on each other about football and make stereotype jokes, but we are all in this together for the next couple of decades.
Football is a great escape though, past 3 months have flown by. Good luck to all the kids that have worked since last winter to play this game for our communities.
Thanks to all the seniors who will suit up for the last time this Friday. Stop and smell the roses. Life gets tougher from here on out. Thank you kids for working your butts off so us guys can get on a board and pester each other

Is there Valet parking at falcon stadium or can I park where I want?

How is that negative??? His spit probably knew more football than some of the hogo coaches do    

PH has the right man in place to turn the program around.   I think that is pretty obvious just from watching them improve over the past few years.  With that said... You don't go from from 1-9 to 10-0 over night.   Most people think that Battle did but I was there....Let me explain.   We went 0-10 in 2008...3-7 in 2009 by playing a lot of young kids.  4-6 in 2010,  6-4 in 2011 and earned a playoff birth with those same young kids we started in 2009.   Last year those young kids were SR's and had set a great example for the kids that were following them as far as work ethic goes.  They went 9-1 and advanced on to the state semifinals.  That work ethic that they've passed on to the kids below them is showing up this season.
 
It's a process....it doesn't happen overnight.   That's why I hate to see programs fire coaches every 2-3 years.  You never get anywhere, just ask John Battle fans.     Give Palmer time and he'll have PH competing with good teams.    Anyone that is giving PH a hard time over their "weak" schedule is crazy.   You have to start somewhere, you have to build a winning attitude within your program.   At Battle...our 3 wins in 2009 came against Twin Springs, Patrick Henry and Castlewood.  As coaches, we knew we had a long way to go...but it gave our kids confidence that their work was paying off to a degree...and made them want to invest even more into the program.   In 2010..our 4 wins came against Twin Springs, Holston, Patrick Henry and.. Honaker!.  We all remember what happened that year to derail the season...but that Honaker win was our 1st signature win and we built off of that in the off-season.        The next year was a 6-4 year with a playoff loss to the eventual D2 state champion Gretna.  Still not great but we kept improving with each year...... and then Last year they made it all the way to the state semifinals.    
 
All of that, to get to this---- PH fans/players shouldn't get discouraged after this Friday night.  I think that Battle will win this game by 3-4 td's but PH has a shot to win 4-6 games this year.   That is a tremendous amount of progress no matter who the wins come against.     It's a process and can be tough...but you've got to crawl before you can walk.     Be patient and enjoy the process.

I feel compelled to give credit where credit is due.  The Battle QB was on fire Friday night against Lebanon.  17 out of 19 for 312 yards is awesome.  If Battle can continue to be able to pass when the run is taken away or run when the pass is taken away, they will be hard to handle.
