I'm convinced that you don't have a clue to what you're talking about. Now if we're playing pudding pops, then what in the world do you call those that Northeastern have played. Stop talking foolish!! Oh you must be talking about like how you are hanging off the coat tails of Northeastern.
JK vs NE
- Thread starter JKTiger40
- Start date
This one is about to get out of hand!😀
Looking at the regular season schedules, you have to give
Northeastern credit for 2 decisive wins against 3A opponents Rocky Mount and Greenville Rose.
I would say James Kenan’s wins over Whiteville and. Wallace Rose Hill are solid. A win over East Duplin this year doesn’t carry as much weight as it normally would.
I have already said I hope James Kenan wins but I believe Northeastern should be favored. If JK starts out slow and gets behind a couple of scores it could get out of hand.
Goobs has taken a lot of heat over the years for his optimism. He never fails to call it like he thinks it will be and more than a few times he has been wrong but he keeps supporting his Eagles.
I will say this, when fans start talking amongst themselves they can over inflate certain aspects of their team’s performance and begin to believe their team is better than they really are. Nothing wrong with that, but there may be a day of reckoning- when they step off the bus and catch one in the mouth. I prefer to walk and talk softly, even when my team is having a good year. Some posters don’t and that’s cool because what a boring place it would be if we were all the same.
I think these boards are better when any personal insults/posts are never sent.
My plan for Friday is to be heading home from the deer woods ready to follow all of these games. Such an exciting time of the year.

That win over Rose, come on now do you really think that Rose team is the same Rose team today 🤔. Rose finished 2-8 and caught fire when the playoffs started.
Honestly man, not sure what else there is for you to understand. The style NE play it is gone be easy for them to run the clock on folks. we keep it on the ground and the score is gone stay low in our games. fact of the matter is that we beat both teams who in the other eastern semi, plus WRH who a clear top 5 team in the east. NE was 14-7 at half with GC? should I go on? with all that bein said we def the big underdog friday night. but the game is played for a reason. we coming hungry. NE didnt beat rocky mount bad as tarboro, who didnt beat SWE nearly as bad as WRH. we can score compare all you want its useless. JK done beat all the big dogs in the east except NE. cant wait to give em all we got.
Heck I'll come hang out with you Goob. Going to be interesting.
Lets put an end to this discussion of who’s team played more comp. We’ll go week by week non conference and then compare the conferences.
Week 1 JK played swansboro and NE played Bertie, it’s fair to say SB nor Bertie are
Competitive teams but Bertie was the “tougher” opponent
Week 2 JK played Midway and NE played J.H Rose. Midway came second in their conference and finished the season with and 8-2 regular season record. J.H Rose finished 2-8 and didn’t do anything in their conference. However Roses conferences is probably the toughest conference in 3A, Rose is def the tougher opponent.
Week 3 JK v Whiteville and NE v Rocky mount. Whiteville is in the fourth round won their conference and is a top contender in the playoffs. RM finished 7-5 on the season and were an average 3A team. Whiteville is the better team.
Week 4 JK v East blades and NE v First flight. Not going into detail for this one we all know East bladen is the tougher opponent.
Week 5 JK V ED NE v Holmes. Another one where I’m not going into detail, even tho ED is down their still better than Holmes.
Week 6 JK v south lenior and NE v Hertford. Both teams are pushovers but south lenior is even more of a push over. Hertford is tougher
That leaves us at 3-3
For the sake of my time the remaining weeks JK played SWO, NL, Kinston, and WRH. NE played Camden county, Manteo, C. County and P. County. Let’s be very very realistic here any of the 4 teams remaining in JK conference play wipe the remaining of NE conference play.
Leaving us 7-3 in the battle of “tougher opponents” despite the weak schedule NE is a force to be reckoned with, their good no doubt. But their hardly tested. Jk has shown heart in 4 different tooth and nail dog fights this season. I don’t want to take anything away from NE, nobody does, we don’t deny NE is a great team. And I myself am not taking personal shots at anyone, Goob has been talking down on JK as if they don’t have good history. And take away the history this season alone they’ve proven that their not a team to be talked down on. Goob says he wanted the bulldogs instead of the tigers because he wants his rematch 🤣🤣🤣 keep ur coping to urself, you wanted the bulldogs because you know they were an easier opponent than the tigers. Even tho WRH beat JK once I still think JK is the better team, the JK players just seem to feel the pressure a whole lot when playing the dogs and it gets to them.
Now to finish my yapping session, I respect NE and I admire the fan that goob is. I don’t respect the constant belittling of James kenan from him and I really hope they go knock the hate out his mouth this Friday. This game is going to be a good one, no doubt. But every JK poster has given NE their props when making their predictions, while everyone rooting against JK has been very negative when speaking abt JK which is why we are a little jumpy regardless, best of luck to both teams.
Yeah you not lying there’s plenty of teams that JK could’ve ran the score up on but JK is not a stat padding team…he even kneeled the ball on the 4 yard line vs Kinston towards the end of the game
I see a few of the James Kenan posters are new to this site. Welcome aboard friends.
If you had been here for several years you would understand Goobs desire to see WRH make the trip to Elizabeth City. I will admit, he was pretty hard on JK after the WRH loss but as I said before, he is not afraid to call it like he sees it and many times he has been wrong. I hope he is wrong this time too.
I had family that was a big JK supporter - I think he was known as the “little man in the white car”. You guys may have known him. I sure wish he was still here to see this JK run!!
He called me one year and asked if I knew Coach Mot ( at the time he was at New Hanover). It was the week before NH played WRH. I told him I did and he asked me to relay a message - tell Mot to pound the Dogs and run up the score! I would expect nothing less from a JK supporter.

Nah it don’t mean a dang who has played who. It’s JK @ NE Friday night and that is all that matters. That is what coaches need to be focused on. Both teams have earned the right to be there.
