Vice004 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Football season is just right around the corner. It can not get here fast enough in my opinion. As we try to muddle through these last few weeks until the season actually starts, what game are you looking forward to the most? It doesn’t have to be a game your team plays, it can just be one in general. I pondered this for a little bit a few games stuck out in my head. Picayune vs Brandon is one them. Oak Grove vs Hoover(AL) is another. So what game or games are you looking forward to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsoldier74 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 OS vs Gulfport should be pretty interesting. Got a feeling there will be a lot of bad blood after the way their off-seasons went. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a feeling there will be a lot of bad blood after the way their off-seasons went. My exact thoughts. I am a Gulfport alum but have lived in Ocean Springs since moving back home from Louisiana in 2008. My daughter currently attends OS and is friends with several players. The bad blood is there and this is game they have had circled on their schedule for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a great idea though to catch some extra games. Thank God for live streams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told WABO earlier that I was bring a iron skillet of corn meal mash and set it in the seats. The cornbread should be ready before halftime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't forget to salt and pepper them. I guess that's Oak Grove cuisine at it's best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon does not stand a chance I don't know who y'all play on the 25th, but you are more than welcome to come sit on the Maroon Tide side. The last time I went to Brandon was when they were at the old stadium and I remember the visitor side being on a cliff and you were like 2 feet from the field. Granted it wasn't as bad as Oak Grove's old stadium, but it was pretty sketchy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Ocean Springs at home or I would take you up on that offer, and yes, Brandons old stadium was a dump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s1nglewing Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 You can use this page http://www.calpreps.com/cgi-bin/2023/project_matchup.pl to project a game's probable outcome but their algorithm won't be super accurate until a few weeks into the season. Even then the points scored won't be on the money, but the spread is usually pretty close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird how eerily accurate they get it once they get the algorithm right and like you said a few weeks into the season to get the kinks worked out, but yes the spread is usually on for the most part.
