Clinton fans talked a lot of smack. came out short. don't talk sh*t
@5:56 I heard that guy yelling last week. That is not typical of CC fans at all. The AD talked to him during Q3 and he cleaned up. I hope he doesnt try that again. It won't be tolerated.
@5:56, because a CC graduate would know it’s they’re not there
Believe it or not this one will be determined by a few big pass plays.
5:56 pm - good grief...... Already looking for pathetic conspiracy theories to explain why they lose if they lose? Do not disrespect the people who are willing to go out there and officiate. It takes a lot of courage to be an official today. Some fans (including CC fans) are disrespectful and have ridiculous expectations for refs when things aren’t going their way. I’ve heard CC fans screaming awful things to the refs at their home games! So to suggest these refs out there officiating lack integrity is ridiculous. Go stripe up if you want more depth in the “alumn” pool from other schools. Otherwise, shut up and have some respect for what they do.
I guess some off us have not learned our lesson from last weeks contest when it was going to be a blowout. "Not so fast my friends!" Both of these teams have a strong playoff tradition and a recent history so they know each other well. Not sure home field matters much because Clinton will travel big and have their sideline filled. Field conditions will be sloppy so the edge may go to the Clinton who has the bigger offensive line, but SMCC has the power backs for three yards and a cloud of dust.....I mean mud! This could come don to special teams and we all hear the chatter about SMCC and their weaknesses in this area. If it comes down to passing Clinton gets the edge again since they do have a QB that can throw and run. Which defense will step up? That will also be a big question on the mud slicked Navarre Field. Best of luck to both teams and those in out county.
