lone oak and fulton city i watch the game on web cast i knew lone oak ws going to put it to them

What happened Fulton City....I heard you were good?

Lone oak 56     Fulton city 12

Enough said

how about lone oak?? where was daeron williams? huh?

GO HEATH

HAHAHAHAHAAH

Let me preface my comment by saying that Lone Oak has a very good team, and by saying what I am about to say is taking nothing away from their performance tonight.  They played a good game and have an amazing quarterback.

What I would like to address is the officiating during tonights game.  I am not, by any means, saying that this is what cost us the game tonight becuase we lost the game by not playing to our best ability, but there were several times that I wondered if the officials were actually in the game.  On at least three occasions, the officials had no clue who had the ball and what direction the ball was going.  

The one call that I still do not undestand is a penalty that we got for having too many men on the field.  Last I knew, you were allowed to have 11 men on the field...if this is still the case, how can we have too many when we only have 10?  Maybe the officials need to go back and have some more training before their next game!!!

Dawgs, keep your heads up and get ready for Reidland next week!!!!

I know that Lone Oak and Fulton City were both undefeated and for that reason probably won game of the week, but has anyone thought as to why these teams are udefeated?  Who do they play?  Lone Oak probably has the best player in this end of the state in Corey Robinson, but they haven't played a schedule fool of powerful teams.  I think that Lone oak is a pretty good team with a great coach and QB, but they are not the best team in Western Kentucky.  Taking schedules into consideration, I put my money on Marshall County as the Best this end of the state has to offer.I think a 7-2 record against quality opponents carries more weight than a 9-0 record agains a bunch of so/so's and nobodys.

Jeff, Thanks for wearing coach's coat. Its great to see a man of his word. Keep up the great work you and Greg do with channel 6 sports.

Man some of the calls in that fulton/Lone Oak game were just messed up, not going to dwell on it though, they are a good team though and played a better game tonight, we need to focus on next weeks game, and then the playoffs

Calvin, I agree that I would rank Marshall as the top team in far western Kentucky, as would be expected of a good 6A team compared to a good 4A team. But I wouldn't have a big problem with rating Lone Oak No. 2 among all classes. I guess you could make a case for Tilghman or Graves as well.

It's a shame Marshall and Lone Oak weren't scheduled this year. I know Marshall won handily last year, but Lone Oak is much better now and it would probably be a nice game.

Dawg Fan, yeah, I never heard of getting penalized for having too few on the field. Maybe they called something else, but that's what it looked like.

Thanks for being a man of your word Jeff - hope you didn't make too many enemies while wearing the blue.  Loved that BRIGHT red blazer also!  Your enthusiasm for all of the local teams is fantastic.  You're #1 on our list (and possibly Mr. Blackwell's list as well).  Keep up the good work on Gridiron Glory!

I've seen it on other blogs, so I'll bring it up here.  The hand shaking went on before the LO/FC game.  It was a good game. Both teams showed a lot of character.  Tempers flared, but were quickly extinguished.  

To all the dawg fans complaining about the officiating........What about the 3 Unsportsmanlike conduct calls? Dont complain about the FAIR officiating until you can get your players under control. There was no reason to push Corey Robinson into the fence and yell at him after the play was over. And if you want bad officiating go to calloway.

Want to tip my hat to the Lone Oak team on their performance last night.  The aerial attack was impressive - not just the QB, but the O-line and receivers all executed their game plan very well in less than ideal conditions.  

Didn't really understand the continued passing and onside-type kicks with a 5+ TD lead, but I guess the LO coaches had their reasons for calling those plays.

The on-side kicks were being practiced for playoffs

Just a few stats for all the FC fans/players talking smack all week: 5 fumbles... 9 penalties... 2 interceptions... 67 rushing yards... 124 total yards.  Fulton City was out-played, out-coached, and out-classed.  Need I say more?

amazing game my LO played. but we gotta worry about beating heath next week. we are about to massacre us some pirates.

...
More "in-game practice", I guess.
Haha.

Sorry for the double post, but..

How embarassing. I just read the previous blog post ("Wardrobe Malfunction"), and...just...wow.

I cannot say it enough: smack talk gets you nothing but a bad reputation, and all you fine kids have just accomplished that.

Truly, this is more embarassing than last week's trash talk over the Mayfield game.

Thank you very much Bidwell for deleting some of those comments. I think you should've deleted all of them, but that's just me.


Great game last night, and I'm anxious to see both of these teams in the playoffs. Good luck to them both!

Oh, and calloway, if LO meets you in the playoffs.....Dont even bother showing up your refs won't be here this time......and leave the flag at home

We're proud of the job our boys did last night...Fulton City still has a good football team and we wish you all the luck in the future.  Can't wait til the showdown with cross county rival Heath next week.  Jeff and Greg, you guys are doing a terrific job this year with your coverage of the area's local teams.  Love the blogs!  I'm sure we can get something in purple for you to wear during your sportscast.  Bidwell, I think you will definitely look better in purple than you did in red! (lol)

well marshall will be seeing the gc train run them over in the 2nd round..... yea!!!!

DANG, and there i thought the bulldogs had it, we will get it next time bulldogs, we cant win every time i guess

a we might have lost big but jeff bidwell still believe in the blue cause sometimes its better to learn from your mistakes in order to win but were still the bulldogs and we can't think in the past were looking forward to the future. all yeah lone oak play us next year and i promise you the bulldogs will give 110% yeah be ready

Alex,

Your refs?? If I do recall, Calloway's refs were the one's that threw the flag to prevent a touchdown to ice the game

Alex,

what's with the unprovocted smack talk?

Calloways ref's were also the ones who DIDNT call it when you player pulled Corey Robinson down by the facemask right in front of the ref.....and i brought it up because well neither heath nor Muhlenburg north are a challenge.....Calloway is our nearest challenge so i figured id talk about it

Jeff - you looked terrific in the jacket.  That beautiful shade of red didn't hurt my eyes at all.  

Also wanted to say that some people who are commenting here need to let the players and their performances speak for themselves and stop the mouthing.  It's really uncalled for.  ALL of these players and coaches work hard all year.  Some kind hearted jabbing is one thing, but come on!

Let me be the first to tip my hat to the Fulton City Bulldogs for being one of the most classless teams I have ever seen play.  You've proven even more classless than prior bulldog teams (which were actually known for losing (badly; even to Lone Oak) , yet even still talked trash). At least this year you have a good team to somewhat back it up.

Fulton City acted like the typical Fulton City team in this game.  They talked trash and played dirty all game long. As I stated before, Fulton has a great team this year. No team can go 7-0 and not have something to show for it. However, one area which appears to lack focus among the coaching staff is sportsmanship.

Having won 7 games in a row, and coming off a win against Mayfield, Fulton City had every right to be "riding high".   However, in no way were they prepared to lose, or, by any means, lose big.

Lone Oak led 35-6 going into the second half, leaving the bulldogs with a very improbable chance of mounting a secod half comback. This is when the play on the field tuned dirty.

In the third quarter Corey Robinson dropped back to pass, scrambled, and then "willingly" ran out of bounds. At said time a Fulton city player pushes him in the small of the back after Robinson is (at least) 2 steps of bounds. How was this kid not ejected? This was one of the most blatent cheepshots I have ever witnessed. After this play Fulton continued to run their mouths. Even the coaches got into the act, whenever late in the 3rd quarter down (down 42-6, I believe) one of the bulldog coaches was flagged for an unsportsman like conduct penalty for having not stopped argueing with, nor leaving the field, after numerous referee warnings.

If the coaches arent setting examples for how these kids should behave (especially during organized high school football) then who is. If your getting your butts handed to you by a better team, then suck it up, play your hardest (or your second string to get experience) , accept the loss, and learn for the next week.

Lone Oak Principle, Donna Wear, forecasting hot tempers between Fulton City and Lone Oak, arranged for a pre-game handshack (rather than a post-game handshake) between the two teams, as to avoid any confilict after the game. Excelent move by Mrs. Wear. Even after the game, as both teams parted to seperate endzones, one Fulton player continued to cross the field "taking trash", or shouting something at the LO team, until one of the Fulton coaches ran out there and pulled him away.

Real classy. Talking trash as you walk off the field having been beaten by the only other undefeated team this side of Louisville. You just got wooped 56-12, deal with it.

I'ts ok we played a good game. they are a 4A school their roster alone made us look bad. it was good practice for the future.(if you know what i mean)

LO Alum - The LO boys came off the field saying that overall, the FC team was "pretty cool".  There is always trash talk and sometimes a cheap hit or 2. There was a lot of sportsmanship on the field; ie helping each other up, not hitting after the whistle.  Yes, Corey did take a major cheap shot, but after tempers flared, the culprit kicked out, and their coach's outburst, everything else went on as normal.  I believe I am echoing a previous post by Jacob.  
Maybe the boys are just comparing this game to Muhlenburg North where the entire game was cheap shots, trash talk, and unmentionable grabbing of private parts.  Corey got kneed so bad in that game, he was doubled over.  Somehow, he got the unsportsmanlike penalty for reacting as any normal male would.
I credit the refs for keeping this game under control too for calling penalties on chop blocks.  Knowing that penalties will be called for gross infractions often limits the cheap stuff.  
So, my point is this...if the boys that are playing didn't think that FC was classless, we shouldn't either. They considered the goings on as a normal football game.  

I belive the LO/FC hand shake was pre-game rather than post game.  Well both teams agreed and it was caried out that way.  After the game i do belive that there were some chants of BS coming from the LO side.  Cheap shots were being delivered by both teams.  The last touchdown for FC the LO player threw the FC player clearly after the play.  There were taunts and trach talking by both teams all night too.  As far as the puching and shoving that happned on the sideline I thnk both teams handled it very well.  The FC coaching staff ran across the field and took control of their players.  The players on the FC sideline stayed in place and did not get involved.  

And Coach Mike was trying to get the Refs to explain why a flag was thrown for having too many players on the field when only 10 were out there.  Like an eariler post said the refs were all over the place, not knowing which way the play was going.

FC did get beat and out played by a great team.  I am almost glad they got spanked like this.  Some of our players like posting on this site and others talking smack this will hopefuly bring them back to reality and get them ready for the playoffs.

Good game Flash good luck the next few weeks.

It was explained to us by a purple clad flash supporter that the before-the-game handshake was started earlier in the season because of opposing teams wanting to start a fight after the game was over.  Let's keep the facts straight.

bid that was a good idea for web casting will we see it agian for next weeks game of the week?

LoveThoseDawgs--that's exactly what Alum 01 said.  Other teams, after being beaten badly had tried starting fights, so they moved it before the game.  

If Fulton City was beaten badly(and they were) she was expecting the same thing, and moved the handshake to pre-game.

well people are putting the bulldogs down cause they lost to a 4A school and i think it is kinda stupid cause this was the only game we lose and most schools cant say that. But just wait cause we goin to show out friday and the other football team aint going to know what hit them. Bulldogs really dont care what people say cause friday is coming and wait to see what we bring to the field we going to make reidland look like newbes be aware of the big bad bulldogs.

LO Alum 99 - His entire post was about how "classless" FC was.  He implied that the decision was solely based on the fact that they were playing us.  If you re-read his post you'll see that.  I was merely trying to make sure that the facts were presented accurately.  

I do have to say that everyone is harping on the fact that the LO QB, who is an amazing player, was pushed after he was out of bounds, but nothing is mentioned of how our player was treated by the other LO players and coaches once he did this.  He was kicked and pushed by other LO players on the sidelines as well as the coaches.  How can you talk about the example FC coaches set when your coaches are pushing high school football players.  Our coaches were only protesting a TERRIBLE call by the offiicials when they flagged us for too many men on the field when we only had 10 men.  Last I checked this was a game played with 11 on each side.  Loan Oak is a great team, and I wish you luck over the next few weeks, but let's not overlook the fact that both teams were taking cheapshots and mouthing, not just Fulton City.

K.N,

I believe the reason for everyone putting the Dogs down is because the amount of trash talk from their fans, parents and players leading into this game.....

In this society, trash talk is not looked at favorably. If your a good team, act like you've been there before, if your a bad team, you have to no reason to trash talk.

The Bulldogs can trash talk, but they can't take it.

I couldn't help but notice that my good friend kentblue hasn't been around lately...must still be at the table finishing up those last few bites of crow.

Hopefully everyone on here will give Lone Oak a modicum of credit for thier season now--they walloped a strong Fulton City squad.  I'm sure all the naysayers will now point out that Fulton City is a 1A school, but remember that doing so is unfair to the kids at FC.  They're a strong team regardless of classification, and they ran into a superior team last Friday.  

Anyone can beat reidland.......just saying......they lost to muhlenburg south

I agree with everything Dawg Fan has said, both teams were talking trash and taking cheap shots, it is not right just putting it off on Fulton.  It was a big game, both teams were going in undefeated and someone had to get that loss on their record, of course there was going to be some trash talking. As for the coaches, Coach Mike might have gotten a disorderly conduct call, but at least it was just for disagreeing with the ref, were as Lone Oak's coaches physically kicked a player and said some not so nice words. Where were the refs on that call? In my opinion that is pretty "classless."

kyle,

 Okay i see where your going but i believe we are not the only ones that trash talk. And i dont think you have a right to tell me cause i go to everygame and i hear the other teams trash talking so dont put that one out there.
The bulldogs have respect for everybody and cant noOne tell us we dont.
The bulldogs just like to have fun thats all.

heath is gonna beat lone oak 21-7

K.N,

If you've been reading this blog very long, you should know what I'm talking about.
True, most teams have players that trash talk, but they don't come on message boards or blogs and talk it up OVER and OVER.

for my old buddy lo alum 99, so 'you' have missed me huh friend - well 'no' crow servings have i had to choke-down since the calloway / mayfield game old buddy - plus to be honest i was a 'tad' afraid to jump in the middle of all the dog / flash stuff man -  from what i've read 'today' all is just fine & dandy in the local f'ball blog-world - very healthy i suppose one could even say - lone = 147 / heath = 6 ( c r tosses for 752 yds / sets ste td single gme passing r'cd with 16 scoring tosses plus shatters ste's season record previously @ 62 now (75) with the play-off's still to come adding to that figure - what else can i say lone oak 'alums', all of you - go flash...      

good sum up kentblue.. cant wait to countdown coreys td's at the game. and watch us own or biggest rival heath at the same time

I am predicting Lone Oak by 50
