Oakes vs Napoleon

Oakes smack talking may get them in trouble.

We shall see who is for real? Napoleon brings it hard and will punch you in the face, we will see if Oakes can handle it.

If Oakes can handle Napoleons physical play I will take Oakes in a close one.

I think a lot of Napoleon's face punchers (not literally) are gone. Their offensive line is almost completely new. But I just don't know how physically tough Oakes is either.

I'll stick with Napoleon until Oakes shows they can take the badge of honor from Napoleon.

Face punching is a 15 yard penalty

Only if the ref sees it.
I knew someone would come back on the face punching thing. Man - you win the prize!

Something else that is illegal - gouging people in the neck at the bottom of the pile. I saw a player the other day and he had a huge outbreak of what looked like excema or ringworm on his neck. He said it wasn't any kind of rash or disease at all - he got it from opposing players pinching his neck when he was on the bottom of the pile.

Sad...

That crap is a direct reflection on that coach.
When I played there were guys who had potential to be jerks but there coach kept that stuff in line. Then there were really good guys but the coach allowed/promoted dirty crap and they found themselves pressured into doing stuff they would never otherwise do.
When the game was done, all you really care about is who can block who, who can tackle the best and who was quicker. The dirty crap just acts like a thorn in the side of the opposition and even the players who were allowed/encouraged to do it. That coach loses respect of other teams/coaches and eventually his own players as they get away from the game.
Just play your hardest until the whistle blows and intimidation will come from just playing better than the other team.

Shame on that coach.

I assume you guys know that when I say "punch in the face" it means getting off the ball and playing physical.... Of course you do, just making sure.

This thread is supposed to be about Oakes vs. Napoleon but since you guys brought up dirty tactics, I do not condone them and I think that any coach who would, has to be a very tiny percentage.

What I hate more than dirty tactics is weenie winers.

Wussies who come back to a huddle or side line crying he pinched me, he hit me, he's holding me, they're cheaters, sometimes it's worse than 3rd grade girls for cripes sakes. Forget about that crap, play football, work hard, do your job, let the refs sort out the rest.

If you worry about little titty twisters you are not concentrating on your job and you are looking for an excuse to fail.

ok

I'll take Oakes in a tough one. I'm sure they will go to Gross > 25 times. The key to vctory will be to stop him. Oakes does it and they win, that's my prediction.

[GRIDIRON GURU]

Titty twisters are only a 10 yard penalty

What about Oakes?? they should be top 5. Napoleon losteverybody except Gross. Oakes only lost Albus and Jorgenson. Both are huge but they return 6 starters and Hagen is a stud a Runningback. Edgely lost everybody except Zach there runningback and other teams are no good in there region. Oakes should come out #1 out of the region.fb56bball40

haha now I see

[Maniaconthefloor]

I thought Oakes would be the top dog this year also but Napoleon has played well early and seems to be meshing. Should be a typical Region 1 smashmouth game. Anyone else in the Region even going to challenge these two. I thought Edgeley and maybe Strasburg or Sargent Central.

[Johnny]

Just like face punching, smash mouthing is a 15 yard penalty.

I hope nobody minds but I moved this one from week 3 picks to this thread it just seems more fitting

Oakes should finally show us how good Napoleon is. Oakes lineman are big and experienced, they will run Hagen all day and it will be 8 yds before first contact. The inside will be plugged up for Evan Gross and to get any yds he'll have to run to the outside where he'll meet the Oakes secondary, he may get some yds, but he will not dominate. Oakes wins by 2 TDs.jtdc492

[bballfan_05]

Where is the game being played at, and does anyone know if it will be on the radio?

[future star]

napoleon over oakes i really don't think it will be close i see napoleon by 20.

[Hinsa]

Napoleon 26, Oakes 20. What happened in this game? Anybody see it?

[fb56bball40]

I was there. it was a good game to start it off napolean did a little onside kick and oakes was cought sleeping and gross recoverd. Oakes played well. 2 big plays, gross ran a 89 yard td run and a deep pass to # 40 and then napolean got 2 onside kicks. other wise i think oakes played better napolean had alot of penaltys. it was 26 -20 at half nobody scored in the second half. oakes came close the last drive of the game they marched it down to about the 10 and with about 40 seconds to go oakes QB threw a pick in the back of the endzone. It was a heck of a game!!!

You were there...because you wear a uniform and stand on the sidelines? Of course you were there. I figured you'd have your tail tucked between your legs this weekend after saying that Napoleon couldn't win because they only have Gross and Laber and nothing else. As it turns out 30+ carries for Gross is really all they need to keep winning.

[imperials]

it was not an onside kick to start the game, it was a bad kick and napoleon got lucky, how one team can get called for holding on just about every series and the other team never gets called the whole game is crazy. napoleon played good but so did oakes napoleon missed key tackles on all 3 tds. it was the best game i have watched for quite a while

[outspoken]

its not all Evan Gross in Napoleon, looks like Fettig threw for some yards.
