Sorry Davis. | 11:46 a.m. Nov. 5, 2009
Pleasant Grove just is too good w/ or w/o Lloyd.
Wish him comes back. Guy is a gamer. 100-1 as a starter or something like that.

How many D1 guys does LP have. Didn't they blow you out like 33-3? How many
D1 players did Alta have? Just because you have scholie players doesn't
guarantee a win.
PG Parent | 12:03 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
Good luck to both teams. It will be the same style of game from both teams.
Great defense and good running games. PG will have to go the the old school
pound it. Davis has great blocking schemes. Could come down to fumble or
turnover. I bet it is a quick game as the clock will keep moving, so field
position will be key. It is always tough to win at Davis I hear. Get better
Dallas-bad luck breaking the leg at this time of year. Should be a great, close
game. Hopefully we can execute and figure out thier run game. Hinds and thier
O line must be great.
8 D1 Guys? | 12:10 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
Why did anyone ever bother playing PG this year? It seems they should have been
given the state championship from the beginning based on their 8 D 1 guys.
"8 D1 guys, 8 D 1 guys!" Am I the only one getting tired of hearing
about this? Davis is good. By the time these playoffs are done there will be
some D1 schools after some of their players. PG fans: wait until Friday night to
talk, but I have a feeling you will be silent on these boards. Either that or
making excuses for why you lost.
re: D1 | 12:12 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
I am a PG fan and we all know you can throw out records, offers, etc. This will
come down to coaching, momentum and obviously execution. Going there will be
tough. They are always well coached.
We can pressure any passing team- we easily handled Jordan and West Jordan that throw it. But a good, tough running team we are good against also, but is a bigger test. As Davis is, if there is a chink in the armor they will find it. Man for man, PG is bigger, faster and stronger. But I know DHS plays the game well. I am looking forward to a good game. Hopefully our coaches have something figured out for them.

Sorry PG | 12:29 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
just because you have your 8 D1 players doesn't mean anything. PG has
played bad in their last three games (yes, including riverton) and you were
lucky to come out with a win. LP wrecked you guys and Alta beat up on you too.
Say what you want about your speed, size, etc, but David will win 28-10.
Davis People | 12:31 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
Dont get fooled by posers that arent in the playoffs anymore commenting like
they are PG fans.
PG fans are respectful and have a huge following-alot like you Davis. Great community support; very respected coaches that dont pop off, run up the score or leave our starters in when we get up by 21-it is a class program. Like Davis'-but not the winning tradition DHS has, but PG is getting there the last 5 years.
Some people love to stir the pot acting like PG fans-they have no life and laugh at the responses they get.
When we travel, our PG fans outnumber home crowds. Like Davis does. Just dont listen to dorks on here stating how good we are to get a rise out of you. First comment out of the gate is trying to get a rise out of you from jealous people.
Good luck tomorrow.

Davis is Done!! | 12:33 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
Sorry Davis, the Vikings are coming to smack you down in your house. If Brighton
shut you out, I seriously doubt you will even score on our D. Way too much
talent and way too much team unity.
Watching Davis on film.... it is kind of like watching a slow un-athletic team that is about to get the shock of their lives when they see the team speed and talent of PG.
31-0 PG

DHS DARTS | 12:39 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
I have a feeling this is going to be a great game. PG better not take this game
lightly or they won't male that trip to RES. I think of davis' offense
has an outstanding game, they win. Good luck to both teams.
Davis Alum | 12:40 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
I would say on paper PG has the advantage. And even without their star QB PG
has the advantage in that field as well. Davis has to step up their Defense to
have a chance in this game. If it's close towards the end of the game I
would look for Hinds to make the difference even if PG keys on him early. Go
Darts!
PG | 12:42 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
DAVIS FANS HAVE FUN WATCHING THE BEST TEAM IN STATE. CAN'T WAIT UNTIL YOU
BRING HOME THE TITLE BOYZ!!
VIKINGS!!! | 12:45 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
This squad of talent has the potential to go down as the greatest team in Utah
history. No other team in the history of Utah has the talent that PG has at this
time and place. I can't wait to see these guys steam roll through the
playoffs. If and when they become state champions, I think the claim will be
solidified: UTah's best team ever.
You can do it boys! Go Vikings!
You can do it boys! Go Vikings!
Defense | 12:47 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
I have watched both Davis and PG play this year. I think there is a lot of good
players on both teams. PG will need to stop Troy Hind, by the way, he will be
one of the best D-Ends to ever come out of Utah. (He's a sophmore). In my
oppinion and as a former college coach, Troy is as good if not better then Joe
Krueger. It will be a fun one to watch.
I'm pulling for Davis. The arrogance of PG this year has gotten to me.
Go Darts.

RE: Davis People | 12:50 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
Might have a point, but for the most part they ARE PG fans posting. Go back and
look at any of the old articles going back to the first of the year. Go read the
comments after they beat TV. Greatest team, little league record. Every
kid's background. Like a poser is going to know that much information.
Maybe now the posers are out in force, but they are because of the REAL posts earlier in the year.

re:Davis is done | 1:04 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
Yet another post by a non-pg person. If you truly watched film, you'd be a
player or coach and you'd most likely be in school, therefore, unable to
make these ridiculous comments.
PG Fans. | 1:07 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
having been posting this stuff all year. yeah, i don't think some
"imposter" is going to single out every PG article ALL YEAR and write
that stuff.
PG fans and program is a total JOKE. I hope they lose.

Stop acting like it isn't PG players that are posting. IT IS! And fans
too!! PG hasn't been able to play the better teams well because they really
do think it's all about their D1 players. PG isn't even close to the
best team in Utah history, it's embarrassing that they continue to think it
is.
HA HA HA | 1:08 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
HATE ALL YA WANT.
BOTTOM LINE, IS THAT PG IS NOT GOING TO BE BEAT.
SORRY, DAVIS. REGION 1 TEAMS ARE HORRIBLE. PG WILL WIN THIS ONE BIG!!!

people can bad talk pleasant grove all they want - this is a classy group of
players that is united, talented and hungry. they are on pace to be a great
team as they get more healthy.
i just can't see Davis and their slow, one-dimensional offense posing any threat. i could be wrong, but i doubt it.

Oh that's funny! | 1:18 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
Really...film is usually watched on Monday. It's definitely from a PG
player.
Excuse | 1:20 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
The excuse is alread there. Dallas is hurt. Doesn't matter the score or
results. PG is a winner.
Me, Myself and I | 1:20 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
One D1 guy from PG will be the deciding factor in this one. As Dallas Lloyd goes
so go the Vikings. Look for a hard fought defensive battle as Lloyd struggles
with his ankly injury. Davis will take advantage of a low scroing game and sneak
out with a win. Davis 17 PG 14
Seen 'em both | 1:35 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
I have seen them both play this year and if Dallas Lloyd isn't playing, or
is even hobbled, I give Davis the edge. Otherwise, I think this game is an
absolute pickem.
re: funny | 1:37 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
Exactly the point knucklehead. Pg is practicing now 4th period when the comment
was made so it couldnt be a player or coach.
Doesnt matter when it was watched. Did you even graduate HS?

Ya you back up talk | 1:42 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
The only problem is you back it up a little too much against LP and
Alta...whoops
Ballin | 1:42 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
Here we go Davis, feed the ball to T-Hinds and it will interesting to see how he
does. The pass worked well last game too, but if the run does not turn out
successful, than the darts got a tough game ahead of them
isnt it funny? | 1:42 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
Davis fans aren't posting these anti PG posts.
It started when the story broke. Right away a comment to rile up people. PG fans wouldnt rag on themselves.
It is obvious that these are other schools-which the scary part is no one really cares about HS football except parents...
So that means parents of other schools are posting.
First-post for your game and kids. Otherwise get off.
Second- Davis fans wouldnt bash PG as there is no history or rivalry. SO another point that clueless parents from other teams are so jealous that they feel they have to post nonsense.
People really need to get a life. No wonder Bronco and Whittingham hates the fans in Utah.

Um.. | 1:53 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
can you tell time. The comment was posted at 12:33, that's lunch not 4th
period. What does graduating have to do with anything.
Just leave... | 2:03 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
Just leave it on the field! Two good teams fighting this out on the
internet....come on! Friday is put up or shut up time. Good Luck to both
teams!
RE: Pg dad | 2:05 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
Read the comments dude! No one is bagging on PG. But PG's fans and
students are bagging on everyone and everything they can think of. It looks
like you need to apply for an online reading comprehension class at BYU.

ARROGANT!
Utah Sports Action | 2:18 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
Two great teams two great coaches. The game will be close with or without Dallas
Lloyd in the lineup. It will be an interesting game.
Give it up Davis! | 2:19 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
trying to motivate the troops using a message board is pretty pathetic. faking
like you're PG fans. can't wait until Davis gets thumpbed.
PG player | 2:24 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
I'm one of 8 D1 recruits. None of us have signed yet or agreed to a college
because we're waiting for Urban Meyer's check to clear the bank.
I'll sign when I can spend my moniezzzzzzzzzzzz.
Davis wins by 12.

Fact | 2:39 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
PG will not be denied a State title. There was an incident that happened in the
locker room @ Brighton, when the boys were on the field, that really brought
this team together.
I am not trying to rip Davis. I am sure you fans are great and your kids are great as well. We will cheer for our kids, you cheer for yours. When it is all said and done you will have simply be a stepping stone to a State Title.
Thanks Brighton punks for the motivation. PG against the world... who cares, we are the best!

I also heard that | 2:52 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
Lloyd can hand the ball off like a pro.
PG | 3:14 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
with lloyd - undefeated.
without lloyd 1 win 2 losses

kicking game | 3:16 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
I believe this could be close enough that the kicking game could be critical. I
don't know anything about Davis' kicking game but I know that PG has
had trouble with FG's and extra points.
re: Fact | 3:25 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
So the "Brighton Locker room inceident" brought the team together so
well that they went out and lost their next two games!!
Seriously!!! Who posts this kind of stuff?

PG stop complaining all the time, you are just putting a bad name to your team
and school, brighton shouldn't even be brought up in this conversation,
stupid kids that go to school and should not be regarded as brightons football
team, they had nothing to do with it, so give it a rest pg and go win that state
title you all "think" you will win, have fun when you get a wake up
call from bingham
Legit Brighton Fan | 3:50 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
Juice Box (Davis) will have the edge in this one. Yes PG has had a couple of
issues with not only their kicking game but their whole team. The Darts led by
Hinds will roll in this one unless PG asks us how to stop him. 17-10 Davis
PG | 3:55 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
PG will get beat just like last year by Syracuse. It is just that simple.
Finally we wont have to hear PG talk like they have done all year
Dave Foxx | 3:57 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
PG.....you need to be told that in order for you to have a chance against Davis
that you must put not just one other defender, but almost give him 2 other
spies. Yes, obviously this will open up the field for receivers like Moffet and
Horne to thrive, but its better that than Tanner running over your entire team
one by one. Either way will be costly and that is exactly why I see Davis
rolling in this game. PG will receive pressure at the QB position by both the
Darts' DE. This will still be a very close game. It will be nice to see two
teams with very good backfields square off against each other. Davis wins 17-10
Not Bingham's fight | 4:15 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
"have fun when you get a wake up call from bingham"
Hey, keep us out of this. We're in the other bracket and we have to get past Syracuse THIS week.
Right now, for us, that's all that matters.
If we get to the championship game we can think about who's representing the upper bracket.
Remember, I said "IF" not "when".
I saw how many posts were here and got curious what caused so many compared to the stories about other games.

You people talk all the trash you want. The winner of the Alta vs Bingham next
week will take the 5A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP!
PG? | 4:35 p.m. Nov. 5, 2009
You're giving the win to Lloyd against Riverton? PG was losing at half with
and won the game without.
This is a region 4 fan hoping for Davis to waste PG.
