I'll be at my sister's choir concert. She has the opening solo in the Hendrix Candlelight Carols service

I hate to miss this one

[beach bum]

Anyone have a detailed scouting report on Arkadelphia? I see PG getting into the 30's at least in this one but imagine Arky scores often as well in this.

[PGTIGERS09]

PG 40
Arky 14

[strongandsteady]

Arkadelphia 28 PG 27

[SGT.HULKA]

I still think that Dardanelle is one of the top three teams in the state and Arkadelphia just beat them at their place SO....

I'm gonna go with the Badgers, they impressed me tonight I must say.

[HeadBussa08]

gonna be a tough low scoring game. Pg 13-12

[polksalet]

Two slow teams. I'll got arky 28-14

[Arkansasfootballfan]

Arkadelphia is not a slow team.

[prHOG13]

PG by 8

[polksalet]

Arky was slow against Nashville.

[Oldbadger]

Someone tell us what condition PG's field is in.  Is it still natural grass?

[Lionheart88]

I'll bet Arkadelphia loves being picked to lose week after week.  I'm sure they'd be happy to ride the underdog role all the way to the finals.  lol

[prHOG13]

it drains really well the times we've played there and the weather has been poor. Yes it is natural grass

[SUGARTOWN]

Match up of 2 of the hottest teams right now. What Arkadelphia's done in the playoffs is impressive, but I think PG wins this one, they seem to play great at home.

[TIGER101]

I will let everyone know what the final score will be in a few days....

[beach bum]

And people better take it to the bank this time!!

Hey Tiger, if you are as good at predicting football games as you are at horse races, I wouldn't pay you any attention. lol.  You are the only person I know that goes to the races just to feed the horses. lol. Hey, I will be your nemisis this week.  I have a grandson that is on the Badger team.  Looking forward to returning to NW Arkansas.  Great part of the world.  I still have relatives at Lincoln and Springdale.  I don't know the players for the Tigers but I do know, nothing has changed.  99% run with a pass or two interspersed to keep the opponent honsest.  Looking forward to seeing what the Badgers can do to stop that run.  Good luck!

[Oldbadger]

Did PG play at home last night?  If it rained all night like at other places it has to be in bad shape.  I vote we move the game to Arkadelphia where the game can be played on turf.  Anyone agree?lol

[whippersnapper]

Rain hasn't let up hardly in NWA in the last 24 hours. Maybe move the game to Fayetteville High? Be plenty of seating and a turf field.

You do know Dodd the PG QB has over 1700 yards passing and 24 TDS this year.... I would say we are more 70-30 running.

(Just adding fuel to a fire  )

[HeberFan]

Both teams played GREAT last week. The big question will be which one comes out flat this week. Could be a very lopsided game, but, I don't have a clue which will win.

[Tigerdad2]

PG by 21

[Nip/Tusk]

You didnt have a clue last week either HeberFan but that didnt stop you from running your mouth. LMBO.

Seriously though, can Arky slow down pgs offense at all?

[Oldbadger]

Would probably be in PG's favor.  Badgers played last night in a quagmire at Dardenelle and won against the 1 seed.  I, for one, want the field conditions to be good to allow the teams to showcase what got them where they are.  Below freezing temps are predicted up there so probably not a quagmire but it will be frozen!  Which is worse, I don't know.  I would love to move it to Fayetteville.  It would not hurt attendance at all.

They slowed Dardanelle's down last week, didn't they?

[$aintMaximu$]

SaintMax, if PG wins let's go to the championship

I'm in!!!

[WPWells]

Alright! We can finalize plans if it looks like my schedule will work!

[HeberFan]

Don't know how to win with class, do you? Means you lose either way.

[Nip/Tusk]

Whatever you say Heber. You were the one calling pg oyster all week.

Btw, Good luck Friday.

[Iknewthemwhen]

Prairie Grove by 7 plus the home-field advantage. So 35 - 21 PG.  The only thing I see changing this is if PG cannot run with Arkadelphia.

Home field will help. Both teams played over their heads last week. Someone will be FLAT on Friday.

Speaking of the field, I alluded to the field condition early in this thread.  Anyone know the real condition of the field, someone who was there last night?

[Nip/Tusk]

The field drains really well from people I've talked to. There were a couple of spots that did have a puddle but didnt affect any play last night.

[Oldbadger]

Well, thats great.  I have been there before and knew the surface was good for a grass field but with a game played on it while raining I was concerned.  Some fields were mud baths.  Not good for playing.  It does tend to equalize teams however.

Even after the game the field is still in good condition for raining for 24 hours an then raining the whole time people were on it.  Some patches here and there but nothing bad.  The only spot that might be a little trouble is in the endzone next the the score board (new board was put in right before the first scrimmage so the grass never has really grown in yet) but that is in the back of an endzone.

[Wendell Robinson]

Prairie Grove's field was in great shape from what I could tell. There were a few puddles along the sidelines, particularly close to the endzones. The field stayed in good condition considering the conditions. This due to the fact that they were never on one part for very long. Big plays were the name of the game for PG. I saw film from other games and PG's field was exceptional compared to the others.

PG by 21

And you said PG would mercy rule Ashdown so that makes you look stupid by that prediction!!!

[Scooter2121]

PG is the Mena of last year got lucky with the side of the bracket they are on and got lucky with the teams they matched up with!!!But that will end if they make it to the rock Just like Mena!!!

[TIGER101]

Lucky?  Mena?  Seriously?
How does one know what side of the brakes is the easy one...  is it just the side that Nashville isn't on? Is it just the side that Warren isn't on?  Is it just the side Stuttgart isn't on?  Dollarway too?  Have you ever seen a bracket where all these teams are on the same side?  PG has nothing to apologize for.  Year after year they face these teams, and in some years multiple. 

[1stAdmendment]

How wonderful to see the first amendment alive and well. Such a shame our forefathers didin't have the insight to implement an ignorance clause.  A gag order if you will for those who speak without knowledge, improperly group their words with slang spellings and/or definitions to cause offense.  Little did we know that our social mediocrity evolution would render common sense helpless.  Kicked back in their reclining chairs with their computing instrument propped up on their beer bellies eager to match wits with anyone who will digest their rhetoric.  Urging to vicarously re-live the glory days of their undiagnosed concussions received tripping over the banner paper striking their heads upon the surface of the field to be the only contact they would have.  With that an idiocracy is forumed ( yes I spelled it like that on purpose) in which so-called mature adults have intellectual battles of the bruised brains.  Eventually with enough prodding and probing their lack of wisdom is sure to shine through... Bravo, carry on ole chaps as uninformative your comments are they are quite benevolent and somewhat entertaining.  In today's socialite web hiding content means nothing as long as it is entertaining.

Make no mistake my friends this is: THE YEAR OF THE TIGER!!! LMFAO ( Little Men Fridays Are Over) #17 is awesome !!!

With all due respect you may put your artificial field you know where is it requires no sunlight!

Not really it was 18-0 at one point
Nashville is the only team that has a chance to slow down PG's offense

Dang, 1stAmendment, all that verbosity!  And after only three days posting.  I actually had to ask Google what some of those words meant! You did hit upon something though.  I wondered what my problem was and now I know!  I have a bruised brain from a undiagnosed concussion.  I still remember when it happened though.  Against Nashville, back before facemasks and space plastic helmets.  I still think that Scrapper kicked me in the back of the head on purpose.  Didn't know where I was until I walked into Joda's after the game.  But anyway, I WAS a player and we did tie for the championship that year with Ashdown.  Hung up my cleats and been on the sidelines since.  I do have a pretty good reckoning of the game though.  So, yeah, I do enjoy living vicariously through my grandkids.  A lot of fun.  Raised two sons who were Badgers and one grandson who will be at PG this Friday.  Two other grandsons who play for other high school teams.  I probably am like most other posters here who post for fun and are usually not taken seriously when poking comments at each other.  I know several of the PG posters, have met a few.  I like those guys and we usually don't take one another too seriously. Maybe, after you get used to it, you can do it too.  Anyway, have fun posting.  See you at the game, Friday! Oh, Go Badgers!
