Trimble at SlimShadyside

The Cats have a tough draw but you know the old saying, you can't win in week 11 unless you are playing. Shadyside is a great team and would be heavily favored in Vegas. However, if the Cats come out and play their best game of the year I think they have a shot at pullin the upset.

After watching film of Shadytown, I think the Cats have a shot if they minimize mistakes. It will take a complete effort from everyone but they are beatable. They better not look past us.

I think I'm going to get a hotel and just make a trip of it. I'd say the offense Shadyside runs I think Dyla needs to play defense and play it hard all night. We need more kids playing like Cyrus Jones, Sonny Cain and J.D. Chesser.

Before anyone says anything I didn't mean that as a knock on anyone, just a compliment to those 3 who have stood out to me everytime I have watched the Cats. They play with passion and show up every play.

that close 2 wheeling you have 2 make it a trip when the game is over you can go hit the craps table

All the food and tailgating Sultan talks about I would say he hits the craps table often.

Football, craps and a buffet sounds like a perfect Friday night. Too bad I'll be about 100 miles away. I'll be pulling for the cats from Heath. Good luck Tomcats!

Not many people taking the Cats in the eliminator challenge. I gotta be honest, I probably won't either but I'll darn sure make the drive and support the Cats with all I got and hope I get that game wrong.

OH YOU WILL MR> BUCKEYE AKA SULTAN OF SMACK

Just goes to show you how differently people perceive things. Had a guy from Nelsonville get on me last week for not liking them.

AHH, the price of fame.

I got a Sultan of Smack autograph on a panini's napkin a couple years ago at the state finals. It also diagrams what the Sultan believes to be the most effective way to run the stretch play. Wonder what it would pull on ebay?

If there is any of that Panini's garlic sauce left on that napkin it would be worth more than the autograph. I had to sit last year out but I'm rearin to go this year. You guys going up?

i think i might go up

I used to go to the finals every year. If they bring the games back to Columbus I will probably start going again. Until then, it all depends on the weather.

The games are scheduled to be back in Columbus either next year or the year after.

If anyone wants to go let me know, I have a room all to my lonesome right now across the street from Panini's. Leaving on Thursday night and coming home Saturday night.

I think it is a big mistake taking the games out of stark co. the price for parking and refreshments will triple

Good luck to all willing to share a room with that LOSER!

I don't buy my refreshments at the stadium, and I will save more in gas money than the projected increase in parking cost. Therefore, I will be better off, plus no 3-4 hour drive back home on a Saturday night.

I don't know what it was but it seemed to me that during Coach Faire's radio interview he really had confidence that the Cats can win this game. It makes me feel good about our chances. GO CATS!!

Had to work late and couldn't listen to the show. Was pretty dissapointed in that. Will it re-air on ESPN classic anytime soon?

I'll be on right after Rusty and Rock in the Morning.

Good luck tonight to all area teams. Play hard and represent Athens Co. well and hopefully get us some wins.

I have to say that the final score might have been disappointing but I was proud to be a Tomcat tonight. Opening drive we owned them and powered the ball right down the field for a touchdown. Unfortunately by the time we really got the ball back we were down 15-6. The o line once again played great and we made a nice drive but no points. The bottom line is we made to many mistakes against a good football team. I can live with mistakes when I think the effort is there and even though we lost I thought we had Tomcat effort. Thought #5 played a whale of a game. Congrats to the players and staff, a season to be proud of.
