Very quite on here. What happened to all my Warrior fans? After the Reynolds loss they have vanished. I know that loss sucked really bad the way it happened but the team is playing good ball..
It would be great to see the gang all back here together discussing how 6-6 or 7-5 with a too tough schedule is MUCH better than having 13,000 people cram into a stadium to watch 2 undefeated teams play while it is streamed to several thousand more people.

No offense intended, but the reason your peeps are gone is because watching Erwin finally win games against Enka, NB, and McDowell is kind of a letdown after all the excitement of losing most of their games to better teams early in the season. Moral victories won't carry you nearly as far as real victories.

I couldn't help but notice YOU also suddenly had an interest in the Haywood county schools after belittling their schedules/records as inferior for most of the season. It's nice to get caught up in a game of undefeated teams with a lot on the line, isn't it? Keeps interest alive and the hope for something big directly in front of the fans and teams. I'd say this years Haywood showdown would be at the least categorized as "Legendary", wouldn't you?

Much better than running the table on a weak MAC (Erwin still has just one conference title in the past 35 years, correct?) to finish 7-4 before a road game and exit in the playoffs, but that's just my opinion. I'm not trying to "bash Erwin" as you'll no doubt spin this, just pointing out your guys have figured out what I said weeks ago: winning is more important than bragging about who you lost to.

I believe what you are saying is that it's better to think that you are good than to actually play good teams. The W is more important to your ego than preparing for the playoffs. That's fine if you like that sort of thing. It's not easy watching our team get beat by better teams and we would love to have a better record. I think it's better to be tested by superior competition than to whip up on inferior teams. By the way, your back yard battle has always been a great game. It does not matter what your records are and never has. People in Haywood County will always come to this game if they don't go to another game the rest of the year. Bragging rights matter in just about everyones neighborhood. Bash Erwin all you want but it was Pisgah that dropped us from their schedule. Then again the two teams being undefeated would not of been possible this year if they hadn't.

Oh good! So there IS still an Erwin poster besides BD around (he's right, you guys freakin' VANISHED when that record hit 2-4)!

Bang up job on that schedule preparing you for the playoffs, you advanced exactly as far as Pisgah and Tuscola did last year. After all three of you have been eliminated this year, two teams will be looking back at seasons to remember and the other most likely at a 7-5 season. Huzzah, yippee.

Like I said, you guys always go with the "bash Erwin" thing. It's not bashing Erwin, it's recognizing Erwin is in over it's head playing teams they can't beat. You'd be much better served keeping interest up by playing teams you can compete with rather than getting manhandled each year and basing your season on who beat you.

Also like I've repeatedly said, I'm not from Haywood county. Never been to the rivalry game in Haywood county, couldn't identify a soul on either sideline.

Well it IS a football discussion forum. I missed you guys declaring the dominance of your team, just seeing if you guys are still around or if you've already rolled out the basketballs. You guys used to LOVE talking about your team (and everybody else's), I'm just distressed that the Erwin posters have lost the love.

It is a forum where people discuss their teams, if they have one. I think that you are an AGITATOR and your team (if you have one) is probably a loser. You enjoy putting people down and trying to push their button. You don't have anything to say that is up lifting. Yes I am proud of the Erwin Warriors. They are my team and will forever remain so.(51 years) We are having a little success in football the last eight years or so. I am sorry if this disturbs you but you should try rooting for someone instead jumping on anyone that has something good to say about their team. Last night the Warriors went into battle without their all conference QB. This passing team stepped up and demonstrated they can also run it. Check it out on CITIZEN TIMES- High School Huddle.

I'm not seeing where it says that we can only discuss the team we pull for, could you tell me where you found that?

Not to mention, you Erwin guys were plenty vocal earlier in the year about other programs (and how their schedules weren't as special and shiny as yours). You front runners sure can dish it out, but anyone else says something and they've gone too far!

As per you link: Erwin was able to mount a comeback and beat North Buncombe. Not to put too fine of a point on it, but has North Buncombe had a lead in a game this season until last night? I'd expect the team that has played the "state's toughest schedule" to be able to beat NB, but a 4th quarter come from behind win is a bit of a surprise. But we're looking for uplifting, right? So good job guys!

What kind of schedule does your team have? Must not be very good or you would say something about them. Or maybe we have kicked their tail and this is your way of trying to get even. Oh and thank you for telling me that we are a front runner. I knew that all along but it sure is great that someone as thoughtful as you recognize that. There you go again being negative about our victory and Erwin scoring 29 points in the forth quarter. Not bad for a pass happy team to do on the ground. Of course with our challenging schedule this was no problem. Have a wonderful "glass half empty "evening.

He has always been a Erwin hater. He never declares his team on here. Guess he is too ashamed of his school. We Erwin posters have been quiet this year because we are letting things play out. We have one of the best offenses in the state and I pray that Tuscola or Pisgah goes big 3A so we can put up 50 on them. Everyone is the best team when they play a powderpuff schedule. We are a good team and we have played with the big boys. The Haywood county teams will see come playoff time that it is not good to schedule crappy teams then get beat at home in the first round. Next year Tuscola will have the luxury of playing good teams in conference. Pisgah barley beat a down Franklin team and Erwin handedly beat them in the pit. So to summarize go find your team and root for them because in the years I have been on Ncpreps you have not added one good point to this forum.

Ahhh, there's the other one. I wondered how long it would be before you showed up.

You "Erwin posters have been quiet" for just the last few weeks, but you had a lot to say earlier in the year. Like I said, you guys have bragged about that schedule all year and trashing other teams schedules (thanks for doing so again to illustrate the point). You haven't "played with the big boys", you lost to all of the "big boys" you played. Any team can schedule teams they can't beat, doesn't really mean much.

Pisgah? Tuscola? Well, since you're bringing them into the discussion, they are 17-1 between them. Of course, I'm sure they could try to schedule 3 or 4 teams they have no hope of beating like you guys do so that they can claim to have a tougher schedule, but that doesn't make sense. As it is, they have an engaged fan base and lots of posters on here excited about the season.

I had to smoke you Erwin posters out, BD was the only one left. Welcome back to the boards, by the way.

As for 1st round losses, I guess you'd know since you guys have been one-and-done each of the last 3 years. Yet it doesn't even occur to you the irony of calling out other teams for losing in the 1st round. LOL, you guys....

Being negative about the Erwin victory over North Buncombe? Perish the thought! Nothing but praise for your 4th quarter come from behind victory over 0-9 NB! It's the first time somebody has come back on them in the 4th quarter this year!

FYI, "front runners" in the sports sense are the guys who are tough as long as they are in the lead, but fade fast when they get a little behind. Usually you can spot them in track meets trying to keep somebody from passing them but then slowing down and dropping back once they realize they won't win. You know, kind of like you guys do from the boards.

Have another wonderful "schedule is half wins" season.

Now you claim to be be Mr. Daniel Webster in the sports world. Don't believe so. Front runner in this case is the one that YOU are behind because you are a loser. Then again you have not displayed the need to pull for any team so I must assume you are just as I said an" agitator". There are other posters that like to shake things up to on NC Preps. The difference between you and them is they have the cojones to post who they pull for. Come back when you grow some and let everyone know if you actually have skin in the game.

Why do you have agitator in quotes? You're the only one that's used that word on here, are you quoting yourself?

But you are right, I should pick a team. I got it! I'll pull for Erwin and be the biggest Warrior homer ever. I even already know what I need to know to respond to people:
"Our schedule is the toughest in the world, that's why we go 7-5 every year"
"Your team will lose in the first round, but we've played a tough schedule to get us playoff ready"
"It was the worst referee crew ever, they cost us the game"
"Our team doesn't play yours, but if we did we'd beat you by 50"
"Our team would be undefeated if we played your schedule"

See? Going out to buy me some red duds later this afternoon, boy them Coogahs ain't gonna know what hit 'em when they show up at our place! WOO PIG SOOIE!!! Wait, that's not the right cheer, is it? Anyway, GO WARRIORS! (now we can all be friends)

jumbob- You are not worth the time.
Geez, that's no way to treat a fellow Erwin fan. Or is this just some good natured hazing to welcome me to the fold? Shucks, you guys..... :)

Also, important question: I bought 2 red shirts for the rest of the season (one for the Asheville game, one for our playoff game), but one of them has a black stripe. Do we use black on our stuff or do I need to return it to Kohls?

Man, I can't wait to light up them Coogahs! No way they can win unless the refs are against us! (as I understand it, that's several games a year)

Jumbob is a a fan of one of the two Haywood schools. He posts about them 95% of the time. Nobody was trashing your teams. It was Reynolds and Asheville fans calling the Tuscola/Pisgah game the overhyped bowl. I have respect for both programs. I have two questions for you Jumbob. No BS, just answer them straight up. Don't dodge them like you normally do.

Question #1 - Would Erwin be undefeated with Pisgah or Tuscola's schedule?

Question #2 - Would Pisgah or Tuscola be 5-4 with Erwin's schedule?

Like I said, don't be a ***** like usual and answer the questions straight up!

Oh dear, still laboring under the notion that I'm a Haywood county partisan. Couple of problems:
A) My posts are about 50/50 with them and Erwin because you guys have been the bulk of the posts (other than ACR and Asheville, but they're generally respectful and have actually won stuff before).
B) If I were really a fan of one of the Haywood schools, don't you think I'd brag on them or something? When my only praise for either team on the season is "Must have been a heck of a game", that seems to you like a big fan? Perhaps that's another reason I haven't said anything to the ACR and Asheville people about their criticism of the Haywood bowl, I didn't really care who won it. In all honesty, the 50/50 payout was far more interesting to me than who won the game, but what a HUGE game it was with tons of people, press, and 8 or 9 pages of posts about it!

Anyway, I've forsaken all others for my beloved Erwin Warriors that I picked in accordance with the wishes of the Ingle clan!

Next, since you've never actually asked a question before (beyond who my team is), I'm not sure what question I've dodged. Anyway, let's do this:
#1- Most likley, Erwin would be undefeated with either schedule.
#2- Most likely, either team would have multiple losses (although we don't know because their defenses might keep them in games, something Erwin doesn't have).

I believe I've already touched on that in this very thread, Erwin plays a schedule that is way over their head. It would likely be over the head of most teams in WNC, but Pisgah or Tuscola would have at least as good or better record than Erwin playing the same schedule. Most decent teams in WNC could win 6 or 7 games with Erwin's schedule, getting clubbed by superior teams doesn't really take much (ask Enka or North Buncombe).

However, which teams are getting the press, the memorable season, and the long discussions on here? Erwin or the Haywood schools? 11-0 and 10-1 sure do look pretty, don't you think? Heck BD, you yourself noted that the Erwin faithful had bailed 4 weeks ago, so you KNOW the answer. Imagine if Erwin WERE undefeated, or even 8-2. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have been seeking your little lost lambs, they'd be posting on here.

You're welcome for me finding the rest of our fans and bringing them back to the fold. Go Warriors! Beat them Coogahs!

Bud we didn't go nowhere. We are just waiting to see how things play out. We attend every game of our beloved warriors. No need for us to be a pompous butt like you. You can continue to barrade Erwin because of jealousy I guess. Just know we are always here for our team unlike you who won't declare his team. We definitely don't want your support for our team. Wayfarer fans are not welcome. I drove 1 1/2 hours for 2 1/2 years to see Erwin play every week. So again we don't want your garbage support.

(((GASP!))) Now that's just hurtful, no wonder you don't have more people that post on here if you treat new fans that way! I've declared my team, GO WARRIORS! (See? Did it again!)

So you guys talked it up until your 4th loss, and then decided to lay back and see how it plays out? You apparently forgot to mention your newly relaxed attitude to BD 'cause he was looking for you. Crickets were all we heard out of you guys until I posted. Now I'm one of the gang, so it worked out well don't you think?

By the way, what does "barrade" mean and how am I doing it to Erwin? (See ceingle? THAT'S how you use quotes)

As a new Erwin fan, I believe you were on one of the three 10 win teams Erwin has had, correct? Lost a good game to the eventual state runner up Ragsdale in the 2nd round of the playoffs your senior year, right? Really good squad, however a string of recent 1st round exits and a pair of 7 win seasons isn't apt to make people all that envious.

Now bring on Asheville! (sheesh, just remembered I still have to wait until next week before I can waive my Erwin banner)

I trust good for me, but my Patriots are a different story. We haven't
defeated a winning team all season! 5-4 right now with a team that
should be 7-2 worse case. Not too good by the river right now.

Jumbob, no worries. I think you just like to pull our chain a little. One thing you said was way off though. Tuscola or Pisgah would not have a better record with our schedule. I don't think anyone would argue that Erwin is better offensively than either team. They are better defensively I think, but can't tell with their schedule. Both Haywood teams would have lost to Science Hill, Reynolds, and Ootwehla. That is a given. They most likely would have lost to Davidson Day as well. MH is the big question mark. Erwin should have never lost that game but the Cougars are no slouch. Look what they did to the undefeated Mitchell team last week. Anyways, this is all useless banter because you are right, coach Sexton got in over his head with this schedule. Erwin would most likely have been 9-1 last season and this one as well with a typical schedule. As for the Haywood teams they play who is on their schedule. It is not their fault and I really do respect both schools. I just wish Erwin could play them in the playoffs.

Just to clarify, I never said they would have a better record against Erwin's schedule. I said they would win as many games. Who exactly has Erwin beaten that one of the Haywood schools wouldn't beat?
Davidson Day (good, but....)? Franklin? Enka? McDowell? Roberson? North Buncombe?

Granted Roberson is much improved, but I can see either school beating them. As for the rest of you schedule.... well, Pisgah has a already beaten Enka, Franklin, North Buncombe and Tuscola clobbered McDowell. Heck, Pisgah has already beaten Asheville, so they're off the table as well.

In short, Erwin lost to 4 really good teams (IMHO, MH is REALLY good and I see no shame in losing to them) and beat 4 pretty average/weak schools and a private school that's hard to gauge the quality of.

But yeah, Erwin is good enough to be 9-2 at the worst right now against a slightly lesser schedule.

Honestly, best of luck for the rest of the season. Hope you guys make a run in the playoffs, I'll give you a cheer.
