PA vs. Parkview

[Red Devil Alum]

Why is this game being played at WMS this week? Is that where Parkview is playing their home games?

[PA Dad]

I think that's right although I don't know why.

Bolding has done a great job.  I know PA will be favored, but we can't be cavalier about this game.  Parkview is a good team and I expect a good contest.

In days of yore, and I mean yore, PV home games were at Quigley.  I thought they had built a new stadium on campus, but maybe not

I nominate PA Dad for the Bobby Bowden Award. When Bowden was HC at Florida State he was notorious for his press conferences, beat reporters were trying to contain the giggles as Bowden would spout how FS was overrated, how they were primed to be beat. It didn't matter if they were playing Harding Academy, Bowden would talk at length about the other teams strengths and FS weaknesses. He was always worried. One of his most famous quotes was when ask about being a 27 point favorite the day before a game with North Carolina, he said "Anyone who bets on us and gives even 3 points is a G-dang fool, I can give you one sure bet, I won't get a wink of sleep tonight". FS won by 41 points. Mind you Bowden never believed his own tripe, he was that all-time master of selling wolf tickets.

On a side note, when Bowden uttered the "I won't get a wink of sleep tonight" a Tallahassee print columnist had the greatest sarcastic comeback ever. He said "Maybe Mrs. Bowden is making beans and cabbage for dinner".

I'm with Bobby on this one; as soon as you think you can't be beat you are wrong so I want to thank DAD for his service cause the sky really is falling (its just a matter of when) WTH, LSU beat Auburn with no offense and Syracuse over Clemson

I agree with you! PA should win by a comfortable margin, but I expect PV to put up a good fight in the first half. Really good to see some of the LR/NLR area public schools doing so well. Bolding has done a solid job at PV in his first year.

[Rocket23]

This will be another mercy rule game.  Parkview has no passing game, and although their QB and RB are fantastic and very fast, they have a lot of athletes playing both ways will fade in the seconds no half.

PA wins big

My favorite Bowden-ism came after a win against Florida. During pregame warmups, one of Florida's quarterbacks threw an errant pass in an attempt to hit Bowden. When a reporter asked about the incident and what would've happened if one of his quarterbacks tried to throw at Spurrier, he calmly stated, "Well, he wouldn't have missed."

Anyway, as for the game, I think PA wins comfortably, but I hope Allmon gives them fits. He played baseball with my son last summer, and he's a great kid who's also a heck of an athlete.

Chief I had heard that one. My personal favorite was when a reporter told him that some Miami players said they didn't know the meaning of the word quit. Bowden replied "some players at Miami don't know the meaning of a lot of words".

All I remember from FSU/Miami from those years was "Wide Right"

[Overdahill]

TGIF Go Bruins!

[pantherblue]

Would love to see my alma mater win but I think they are a year or two away from full potential.. Looking forward to seeing them get back there!!!

[PA Dad]

The PA offense is as flat tonight as I've seen in some time.  But, Parkview is playing good, smart defense.

We got us a game.  PA leads 16-14 at the half.

[FoxandHound34]

I believe the whole state are Parkview fans this second half, come on Pat's!!

[LS80]

Go Pat's

[PrivateLesson]

I'm interested to see the defense in this game until the end. 

[PA Dad]

PA trails in the second half 21-16.  7:20 in the 3rd.

[FoxandHound34]

Come on Pats

[PA Dad]

PA looked like PA on the last drive.  PA leads 24-21.

[PA Dad]

Parkview comes right back and scores.  Parkview leads 28-24.  1:48 in 3rd.

[PA Dad]

PA scores quickly and leads 32-28.

[PA Dad]

Parkview scores in two plays and leads 34-32.

[LIKE IT IS]

Perhaps Kevin should have spent more time with his team than he did with Bob.

[PA Dad]

There is very little defense in this game.  PA scores and leads 40-34.  10:30 in 4th.

[FoxandHound34]

What's going on

[MDXPHD]

Tied at 40. PA driving.

PA went for it 4th and 10 from their own 22 up by 6 with less than 2 minutes left. They didn't get it and Parkview scored with the short field. Then missed the xp so it's tied.

[PrivateLesson]

Where's Maynard??    I need to know the score! 

[The Future]

Where's Maynard??    I need to know the score! 

Score and time left!

This is intense!!

[InYoGrill]

I have been talking PV being so much improved since the first few weeks of the season but this game sure surprises me on how much Bolding has changed the face of Patriot football! WOW!!

And?

[RyanLR]

Hatcher made the field goal!!! Bruins win!!!!

[MDXPHD]

PA kicked a fg to win by 3

[MDXPHD]

If Kelley punts with 2 minutes left from his own 22, I think the game would've been over much quicker. Those narrow goal posts were not friendly to Parkview though. He barely missed that last one. It wouldn't have mattered, as pa kicked the fg anyway. Nice little chipshot by Hatcher.

Parkview played a good game. They wanted it bad.

Thanks for the update, Mr. PhD 

[Overdahill]

Hats off to Parkview; they played a great game

[Maynard G Krebs]

Where's Maynard??    I need to know the score! 

Been carried out on a stretcher. 

[Maynard G Krebs]

The term skin of one's teeth comes to mind

[Maynard G Krebs]

Hats off to PV.   They played well

Yellowcake with you? 

[PA Dad]

Parkview played a great game.  Really good defensive scheme to limit deep passes and put pressure on Hatcher.  And on offense No's 3and 5 gave us fits and really impressed me.

PA played very poorly.  I think we had 6 turnovers.  Several passes to wide open receivers missed by a lot.

I've said many times that PA can be defeated.  That could have been tonight.  For those who've awarded PA the trophy, you might want to rethink it and make PA play the games.

If PA plays as poorly next week as they did tonight their winning streak will end.

[The Future]

When was the last time PA had a final be this close? Lol

I did a quick look through PAs fearless page and unless I overlooked one, it looks like their last close game was when Morrilton beat them 57-50 back in 2013 I believe.

[Baitshop]

HOLY SCHNIKES!! What in the hail happened in this one?

We were following this game in the pressbox at Southside and kept thinking that the updates where some kind of cruel joke...

I guess why the old timers always say, "on any given night"...

If bolding stays, he can build a monster there....
