Most Bulldogs can quote the speech in it's entirety. Loved it then and loved it now.

I knew that both Charliedog and Mr. Pitch would have stories about the "General Patton" speech... I recall before games how the coaches would play that over and over for us to listen to while were were in the fieldhouse getting our minds right and ready to play.
Great memories!!

Yes sir! Phrases from the movies Top Gun, Rambo, Rocky were ingrained in our minds. I remember thinking that I’d never want to “SHOVEL SHIT IN LOUISIANA”!

I knew I'd stir some memories and comments from Charliedog and Mr. Pitch with this video... Anyone who put on the Bulldog uniform in the early to mid 80's, most likely had this speech memorized by Christmas time each year.
Again, Great great memories... I truly hope my son, who is a Soph this season, is fortunate enough to have the great memories of his high school experience like his dad does.
We play Odessa Permian tomorrow at 4:00 pm at Abilene Christian.... 2nd round of 6A D-1 Playoffs. Agent Orange and his cousin ex bulldog great LB Jimmy Hamilton will be guests of mine... Mr. Pitch, feel free to join us!

What Dragonsdad has not told you is his son is rated as the #1 punter in US. Kid can send the ball in orbit

This stuff is no joke. Stay outta the way of the virus. Go dragons! |

Mr. Pitch, I hope you are feeling better, take care! I had a great time today in Abilene with Agent Orange, his son, and Jimmy Hamilton. They got to see Southlake Carroll beat Odessa Permian 38-7 and advance to round 3 of the playoffs. My son did have 1 punt for 56 yards today. For the team, you always hope we don’t punt at all..... that said, as a dad of a punter, it’s a bit bittersweet when he gets into the game.
Was a great day overall getting to see my Artesia buddies👍 And seeing us advance. Next up, Arlington Martin on Christmas Eve at the old Texas Ranger Stadium in Arlington

It was a fun time, feel like we got sprung from jail for a day, and got to go to Disneyland, ate a nice big steak in a restaurant and went to watch a high school football game, 1st game I've seen in over a year now.
Fun to watch, Dragons poured it on the Panthers, 2nd half I was rooting for a Dragon punt ha ha, it finally happened. Like Cdog said, dragonsdad boy Tyler White he can teleport that football with his leg.
Here was his punt.
Such a good time, need more days like this and hopefully we can all put this pandemic behind us soon, hope you get better soon Mr Pitch.

Thanks Randall, Martin and Noonie. I'm on my way. Oxy level needs to improve some. It's scary but I'm gonna make it.

Martin's son is a lefty, huh? That puts a reverse spin on the ball, which I'm told can sometimes make it harder to catch.
How did Permian's fans react to getting their Mojo kicked that badly?

Permian had a chant later in the game, seem directed at the refs, but I couldn't make it out exactly, probably figured refs were picking on them but Panthers played a sloppy game, had a lot of penalties, even when they did something good it turned bad, they forced a punt then they roughed the kicker, gave dragons a first down, (kicker was not dragonsdad boy on that kick) They had a qb sack but the permian defender grabbed the qb by the helmet and took him down, flagged for that, penalties for a few late hits, they just did not play a smart game at all and were over matched to begin with.
