We should be higher. I would sure like see the criteria that they used to determine the rankings. At least we know who our competition is. We have five more games. It sure would be nice to have the first playoff game here.

If you are a Seminole fan, you've had a bad week with teams in Gold and Black (Fayette County is yellow, but close enough). First Wake Forest smacks down FSU and now FCHS gives Creekside a beat-down. Bad week to be a Nole.

Split Decision, I'm glad for FCHS that they are finally having a winning season. Good for them! Your comment "I can see students from the newest high school in the county experiencing culture shock when they go off to college or on to real jobs." leaves me puzzled. Do you really think that somehow, FCHS is all that different from the other high schools in Fayette County? And what does that have to do with a winning football season? Actually, I expect ALL our graduating seniors to have a bit of culture shock when they hit the real world. I know that I did, and that was over 30 years ago, and a different school system. Perhaps you think that FCHS is somehow superior to the other high schools in Fayette, now that they are winning at football. Well here's a news flash--ALL the schools in Fayette are excellent. The faculty at each school is strong, and so is the coaching staff. I know some of the coaches at McIntosh, and they are a fine bunch. I'm sure they are doing the best they can with the kids they got, and in a year or two, they too will have a winning season. Winning seasons come and winning seasons go. Enjoy yours while you can, but there's no reason to get all arrogant about it. You can be justifiably proud of the Tigers. Just leave it at that.

the thread, I was agreeing with a previous remark in a post by a teacher at FCHS, which had nothing to do with football.

I was not being "all arrogant" nor being superior. Bottom line - football is a sport. I realize all the high schools' football teams in Fayette County are having a great year, and that's wonderful. But, FCHS has been the butt of many jokes and nasty comments for more years than I like to remember. I truly believe if any other school in the county were to win the first six games of their season, their fans would be very vocal with support, too.

What a revelation: "winning seasons come and winning seasons go." No football team knows that better than FCHS. Apparently, you totally misunderstood my post.

I was questioning your comment that students from FCHS represent the real world, and students from "the newest high school in the county" were going to experience culture shock when they got out into the real world. I happen to know that the demographics at FCHS and Whitewater are not much different at all, and neither is the quality of the education that students are getting at either school. So I was puzzled by your comment.

Anyway, I am sincerely glad that your team is doing so well. Have a good night!

Good commentary River, I have one son at WHS and one that just graduated; indeed the school's demographics are no different than any other school in the county. The previous poster should have done some homework before hitting the submit button.

Congratulations Tigers! Some of my Tiger family members were at Creekside for the game. I agree, the Tigers are not getting the recognition they deserve. At least Fox 5 was there and did a report.

Did I miss Hutch's weekly score prediction? I've been really busy. Today I helped a friend put up signs, and hand out flyers for someone who's running for a council seat. Boy did we get an earful! We had a lot of fun . More on that later!

I haven't made a prediction in a couple of weeks now, but I'll admit I wouldn't have predicted this score. The Tigers are stronger then I would have guessed and they definitly don't get the respect they deserve. By the way, to dollar or zitpicker or whatever you're calling yourself this week, or day, for the Tigers, bite me, or them.

I yam what I yam...Popeye

Channel 11 also did a short video. Hopefully, as they continue to win, we'll see more on the tele.

BTW, you are one class act with sending those flowers!!!!!! That was so nice!!!!!

I saw Fox 5 but not 11. The Tigers deserve to have more in the AJC.

The flowers..highflyer just touched my heart talking about his son. I hope he's doing okay, I've been thinking about him. I took the flowers there. I will go back sometime, and visit his son Dustin again. So sad, breaks my heart.

Mine too.

I was tired of Fayette's 1-9 record all of the time.
Maybe some good can come out of neighbor Clayton?

Nitpickers: You are such a class act. Why, you are exactly the reason that free speech is so wonderful. It leaves no doubt who the bigots are!

A lot of us regulars don't pay much attention to him. By the way - welcome.

Did you go to the air show today?

I did not attend the air show, but as I was driving toward Starr's Mill this afternoon, I got the thrill of seeing a Stealth aircraft making an approach. The plane banked at a sharp angle and really did disappear. It looked as thin as a piece of paper! It was amazing to see!

Wish I'd a seen it.

Will be there tomorrow kids in tow et al. Can't wait to see the F22 mockup display.

Enjoy your tax $'s at work. We have paid for some amazing machines over the years. From a B-17 & P-51, a DC-3, an X-15, too many to mention. Well, let's do mention the "Blackbird."

No. I was down in Troup county riding with dad. How was it? It was an excellent day for it!!!!

I don't know, I had to work, I have a day shift Sun too. I was hoping you could tell me what I missed.

Sorry man. You don't work for the airlines do you?

I work for all of them equally.

Anyway, a couple of years ago they had the old plane fly-in. What was it called? I love watching old planes.

I was hoping they would have pictures on here already.

I remember a few years back I seen the B29, B25, and B17 make a low altitude run near PTC. I'm sure glad there is enough interest to keep these historic aircraft flying. It's a tribute to all that flew and maintained them. My dad was a crew chief on a B25 during Korea.

Your dad flew a B25. I hope you have photos. Use one for your avatar. How cool. You said you spent the day with your dad. Double cool.

They are beautiful aren't they?

Anyway meeting someone for dinner. Have a good night.

Dad was a crew chief or primary mechanic. I'll see about a picture. Have a great dinner buddy!!!

Hmm. Let me guess - the Friendly Aviation Authority?

You got it. Anyway, maybe they will have pictures on here in the next day or 2.

Have a good one. I have to walk my dogs.

Rabunator is correct - the color of the skin doesn't matter. This team personifies what the word "teamwork" really means. All of them are a great group of young men.

I'd like to give props to some of the players never mentioned but are a HUGE part of this team: Luis Martinez, Trey Carter, Drew Burkett, Jervai McConico, BaRack Little. There are many more who need to be mentioned because it takes every single one of them contributing to this season's wins.

GO TIGERS - WE LOVE YOU - WE'RE PROUD OF ALL OF YOU!!!!

Credit goes to all the boys, coaches, parents, and fans that stuck with the team. WAY TO GO!!!!!!
