Ah, so discipline is the name of the game this week. Our defense is strong against the run, but they haven't really played any triple option teams. Salisbury was supposed to and didn't really run that much pure veer.
That's how it should be when playing a high school game after ThanksgivingI am guessing (based on what I can find) that we are the best teams each has faced up to this point this season. Should be a great game.
Our main color is orange this year, so I expect us to be blessed by the great pumpkin! Wait, wrong holiday...
Mount Tabor is certainly no slouch!!Kim and I have talked about tailgating that night as it might be our last one (win or lose) at home while 32 is still a Black Knight. Just peeked at the weather and it looks a lot like what we’ve had the last 2 weeks.

Yeah, tabor's still in 3AA
I agree turnovers and penalties.You are right, honestly didn't think about that one. That's a shame as I've been saying MT doesn't get the credit they deserve and then I go and overlook them.
Would love to have that game back too, could have been the 1 seed in the East if we had won that game. I could see this game having a similar feel in the sense of who makes the fewest mistakes,
OH NO. You had to had to bring up the Tarheels. We had to listen to Ledford band play that dreaded fight song last week!Saw some highlights of North Davidson; reminds of the best of the Fedora era at UNC in the spread offense with Sicignano and Boyce looking like Mitch Trubisky and Gio Bernard...hoping the Vikings will be ready to bring it on Friday
I guess last Saturday was the Ledford Fullback bowl....and Madison Hedgecock's alma mater got the better end of the deal compared to Brad Hoover'sI knew there was a reason I didn't like Ledford...
That's about right, Lex style is shoulders, smoked by hickory wood, then dip(vinegar, pepper, etc, maybe a little ketchup) now my favorite addition is with the BBQ slaw, which is what, to me, brings the flavor of the meat out, it is red, made of: ketchup, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper.What is the traditional Lexington style bbq? I've lived in Granville Co. (which is still more "eastern" than Lexington) for 14 years, I'm originally from Gates Co. and am all about the classic eastern style like you can find around Wilson, Goldsboro, Greenville, Kinston, etc. where the sauce is a liquid....what i've come to appreciate and realize is that there's nothing wrong with adding a little ketchup and brown sugar to the vinegar sauce to sweeten it, AS LONG AS WHAT GOES ON THE PORK IS STILL A TRUE LIQUID, and not the thick mess like you see in the grocery store labeled Kansas City or Memphis style....I've also heard that "western" NC style involves cooking mainly shoulders, not whole hog....can live with that, again as long as the sauce is vinegarry, peppery, and maybe even a little ketchupy, as long as it's not thick like straight ketchup that i'll use half a bottle on for an order of fries but don't want pork bbq doused in....saw Lexington BBQ (the restaurant) on a History Channel show a while back, and I know you can't tell exactly on tv, but it looked like a red liquidy sauce with a lot of vinegar and ketchup....also heard a different PBS Bob Garner show a while back say that typically the "Lexington style" didn't have the sauce added until it was served...as opposed to what i'm used to when you slosh in the peppery vinegar when making it, then can add more to season to taste when serving
If you can get some of the skin and outer edge mixed in there, you will taste more of the smoke flavor, I personally don't like to add a bunch of dip, but will add a little, and then some hot sauce, or texas Pete... Each restaurant will vary a bit, but would think you will find ample flavor at most of them...I do like a chopped sandwich now and then, but prefer a course chopped plate with slaw, and hush puppies, the course chopped is more like hunks or squares....Yes, strange though, as the mustard based bbq sauce is usually more associated with the eastern part of SOUTH Carolina around Charleston, Georgetown, low country areas....but strangely enough, the first time I had ever tried bbq sauce with any mustard was at a whole hog pig pickin and the guy cooking it was using a sauce he got from his father in law who lived out in the country, east of Louisburg, not that far from Warren Co. actually....but of course it was not a yellow sauce like i've seen on tv as the SC style, but just used a little mustard in the vinegary sauce, along with a little ketchup and crushed red pepper, etc.....i prefer it without any mustard but could live with it that way...but tell me, please that Lexington style is different than what you get in the mountains...we were staying in Boone, tried a place called Woodlands BBQ in Blowing Rock and the best part of the meal was the sweet tea....the fries were ok while they kept their warmth, but they gave me so many that they were getting cold by the time I finished....but the bbq was some of the worst I've ever had in my life....just very little flavor, not a thick sauce on it; knew from the pictures I'd seen online, and it was recommended by some former students of mine from South Granville that attended Appalachian State so I figured it would be ok, but what little flavor there was didn't have enough of any of the things that would go into a good pork bbq sauce...hard to describe what it was like, but I kept taking a bite after bite hoping it would get better but i think it got worse...that's when it's time to go for a bbq sandwich i suppose, to let the bread mask the bland flavor
Sounds good, need to try that sometime!I can do without the slaw, but can make a meal out of bbq and hush puppies, love fries too, (with a half gallon ketchup), but also really like what we call "bbq potatoes" in the northeastern part of the state....whole white potatoes, sometimes called new potatoes, sliced up, cooked for a couple of hours in a sauce that I would say is too thick for pork, but definitely more red than brown
hmmm......North reminds me of Andrews in 2013 when they won the 2AA state title. Both lost opening game and then proceeded to beat the sh*t out of everybody they were supposed to beat In the regular season, only being tested maybe once. Everybody questioned their schedule but they kept beating everybody in the playoffs. Got to the 3rd round and the chatter started that this would be the week it might end. Nope didn’t happen then. Then it was definitely in the state semis. Nope they won that one by like 4 scores too. Went on to beat a stout Monroe team in the state final. Stay the course North. You guys will win the state title if you play your best football down the stretch. Your best is better than anybody else’s best. I believe that.
