Morris at Morgan Park

Can Morris keep up with the speed of the Mustangs, What does Morris do well? If you know anything say something............
Will be a similar game to MP's game last week against Metamora. Morris will score but doesn't have the speed to keep up with MP.

Morris coach isn't the brightest and will try to go score for score with MP and will fail. Morris' only chance is to slow the game down and limit MP's possessions. If Morris goes full on "T" formation and marches down the field 4-6 yards at a time they have a chance, but they won't do that.

MP by at least 2 scores.

For the record 4Afan has said this Morris team is slow, "down", and has terrible coaching. He also picked them to lose to Triad and again to Highland. Yet, here they are in the quarterfinals still playing football. Exactly where those who actually know this team/program expected them to be. If Morris was anything he described them as, they would not be playing football right now. If you're still playing it's because you have earned it. I would take anything he says with a grain of salt.

I think he’s just big time sand bagging. Could be wrong.

Yeah @skinsfootball isn't around much and knows nothing about me or my Morris roots.

Was absolutely sandbagging the first two rounds, but this round is an accurate assessment, they just don't have the speed.

Yes, a 5-4 Morris team is a down team for them. Getting absolutely run over by Sycamore and Rochelle is not normal.

The only thing I've said that I stand by is the coaching. Never been a fan of Thorson as many others haven't.

Step down off your high horse and look at things objectively and see things for what they are. If you think this is a good Morris team then you're the one that's not from around here.

Another great take.....Conference Championships and deep play off runs are terrible. Makes sense.
Until recently the conference hasn't exactly been all that tough, plus they've moved conferences a few times.

Name one big game Thorson has ever won.

FYI had 2 boys play under Coach Thorson. Very successful seasons and became better young men for it. 0 complaints.
I'm sure he's a fine man, but he's constantly over matched. This year alone he tried to go score for score with Peoria and they were never going to win that way. They were never going to beat this year's Sycamore team, but he never had the team prepared.

From my point of view I would love to see Morris win and then play JCA at Memorial stadium next weekend. (provided JCA gets past Peoria)

Who said they didn't earn it?

I would normally love to see this. This year, not so much.

Would love to do that '99 game over again though.

Wow good call on the t formation. Thorson read your post.
 
and did you see how they did it? Going to "T" formation and grinding it out. I think someone around here said that's what they needed to do...
Typical…after picking them to lose and being wrong for the 3rd straight week, you’re going to try to take credit for them winning. There’s a reason you’re sitting behind a computer screen. Get lost buddy.

🤣 I love this guy!

Why do you keep trying to pick a fight that isn't there?

I'm 4th generation Redskin, possibly 5th, my grandpa's name is on a trophy in the fieldhouse from the '40's, but go ahead and keep trying to make it seem like I'm not a Morris guy.

I think they only did that because the announcer decided to retvrn to tradition and call them by the old nickname the whole game, no other choice but to run the wing t

Hey......any idea why Morris called a timeout with 2 seconds left in half from 43 yd line to just run it then?????

I was also wondering what they were thinking with that call. You got a 6'5" receiver throw it up and see what happens.

I did love that he used Redskins.
Oh Crap! I had my volume down because I was flip-flopping between so many different games. I would have loved hearing that. Go Skins!
