Van Buren @ Alma -Battle for the Bone-

[shiloh forever]

Alma has won the bone for 4 consecutive years,what are your predictions and thoughts?

[GeorgeWBush]

Vines is taller than Chris Hill.  The dogs blow out the other dogs, Alma style.

Alma - 7
Van Buren - 3

[vilnoia1football]

Alma has a great team this year I have heard, so I think Alma will win over Van Buren.

The game I think will be a blow out by Alma.

[looseliner]

Went to VB scrimmage, Alma may win but VB will be fun to watch. Didn't know that type of offense was allowed in Crawford County???

[gary961]

Can you say..."ONE FOR THE THUMB!!!"

Alma has won the bone for 4 consecutive years,what are your predictions and thoughts?

[Babbling Bush]

This game will not be close VB will dominate.







Joking Alma wins by at least 20

[BillyJack™]

As I said before!

Alma will make it 5 consecutive years.

[shiloh forever]

Added a poll,vote away but don't forget to explain your decision on your pick.

[vilnoia1football]

Havn't heard any thing about Van Buren but Alma is a great team and should not have a problem winning the game.

[BillyJack™]

From what I'm hearing, Van Buren likes to air the ball out. Do that against the Alma defense and I'll say final 28~7 Alma. 7 of the 28 by the Alma defense!

[tmycjy]

my pick van buren 14  Alma 10

my pick van buren 14  Alma 10

You gotta be * me?

[BillyJack™]

my pick van buren 14  Alma 10

lol

[eagleslb_40]

I think Alma dominates 28 to 7

[ftbl_rebel_1070]

Tell me anyone does this game really even matter anymore? If Van Buren would pay the coaches more maybe they'd get a better one for a longer period of time.. Instead of getting a new one every year!

[MUZZY]

V.B. should be a better team than in years past but still not good enough to get past Alma.

Alma - 21
V.B. -  13

[A-town#1]

I say by Half-time JV will be in for Alma!!!!


                           Alma 35     Van Buren 7

You have NO CLUE what you are talking about.  I'd hate to disclose the amount, but Hill's making just under $100,000, so I'd say your argument is pretty much bogus.  That's a nice little chunk of change for coaching high school football.  I know people in the state make higher, but not too many.

Hey man dont be mad cause thats the way its gonna be.... U know the only yellin that Coach Vines is gonna be doin on Friday night is " JV get ready"!!!!!!

[Uncle Ivan]

Vines is taller than Chris Hill.

Hill must be Wallace Hall-size, then.

Have you never seen him before?  He is probably 5'5 200 pounds.  It looks like he can still squat 500.  His nickname should be stump because that is what he looks like.

[Alma_Alum06]

The airedales this year have one of the better teams.  Though they wont have medeiros for qb they have one of what i would call the better qbs in the league and the best set of receivers.  The o-line and d-line have been re-tooled but are just as good as years past.  This game will be a close game until the 4th quarter but only because of the rivalry and the new system brought by Chris Hill.  Though i pick Alma on top because Hill will not have half the talent in Van Buren that he had in Morrilton and he couldn't even beat Alma at home last year.  Van Buren will be lucky to move the ball on the linebackers from Alma!

Alma-31 Van Buren-14

Shout out to my fattys on the O-Line! Keep that fatty tradition rollin! Micah and adam keep that line together and keep kelton out of trouble and you will walk into state.  This is your year.  Work hard every day in practice and you will never be stopped.

I wouldn't know Chris Hill if he walked through my front door, but I've seen Frank, and all he needs are the red eyes to complete the troll look.

Best receivers my state champion asss

[Father Guido]

have one of what i would call the better qbs in the league and the best set of receivers. 

That's a pretty bold statement for a team that has not really thrown the ball in the past.  That's kinda like Uncle Ivan proclaiming that Wynne's QB is the best passer.  I'm not quite convinced about this whole "AIR-Dales" thing yet.

We got the best hander-offer here Chuck!

Back in my days at Alma Vines would just say "Get them young boy's helmets on" and that was usually at halftime.

Alma alot
VB not so much

^^^you can bet on that

[Alma_Alum06]

Not a newbie just changed my screen name because i no longer play.  The quarterback that took over this year is a passer.  Alma's defense is solid just like in years past and their offense is good as well.  The starting receivers were all-conference as juniors and will be all-state this year.  All the running backs got more than adequate playing time last year.  This team is full of experience and senior leadership.  I just graduated from there in the fall.  I know what these guys are capable of and the talent they are against.  I was an all-conference linemen for Alma.  But think what you want, we will see how it goes down Friday night and in December.

No way VB scores 30 on Alma's D.

Alma 20
Van Buren12

Alma might score more points but I think they will start off slow.
How many points they score depends on how fast it take them
to get the first game jitters out of the way.
You got to remember even though Inge is a 2 year starter (Defense)
It'll take him a while too calm the nerves and get the
offense flowing. Both running backs are 1st year starters too.

Van Buren will score their second touchdown against
the 2nd string defense late in the game.

Have to give the dales the edge, playing at home in front of a BIG CROWD.
Inge wants to prove he's a good QB,  he's a better passer then Mederios,
(not knocking Joe)

^^^HAHAHAHA Sry try again

[Gary Elsken]

I'll be at this game for work, and I am excited.  I've only shot one Battle of the Bone, I think it was 2004.  Van Buren was just outclassed that entire year.  Although, I am still going with Alma this year, I think we'll see some changes.

Coach Hill has the Pointers more excited than they have been in years.  You can tell by the number of kids ready to dress out in the green uni's. 

We all know Hill is a great coach, now is his time to prove that he is one of the top hc's in the state.  If he rebuilds Van Buren back to the top of the 7A west (I still remember them beating my Grizzlies at War Memorial my Jr year) the point will be made.

Will it happen this year or this game?  No, but we'll see a new Van Buren team on the field.  In 2007, Alma needs to look out.

But then again how can you go against Coach Vines and Airedales ever?  They are like the Patriots in the NFL the last several years except it stretches back 20 or more.

It will not change until it starts changing in your junior highs.

[Babbling Bush]

From what I hear it is already changing in the jr. highs.

[AIREDALE25]

Okay so Alma Is going for the 6peat will they get it? I think so
