Apparently I'm the only one left on this blog. But that's fine because they didn't have blogs back in 1996 anyway. So I appreciate ya'll playing along and remaining in character.
Usually any team that has its sights set on a state title has to face a Valdosta-based squad at some point, and '96 was no different. In the wake of the greatest BC win in modern history, the confetti at Gallaher's and H.T. Connolly's settled, and the Cadets began preparing to host 6th-ranked Lowndes in a showdown at Memorial Stadium.
Coach Brackett immediately began to raise concerns that the Vikings' fun-n-gun attack would exploit BC's only real weakness that year: the secondary. But BC had emotional advantages. It was, after all, Gannam Day week.
Stay tuned as we relive one of the biggest weeks in BC football history.

Around this time, the 8th graders at BSS received an invitation for a joint birthday party for Matthew Tuttle and Jennifer Bunger. The date was set for Saturday, December 14 at the Bamboo Farms. At the bottom of the invitation was an astericked note:
If BC wins its playoff game Friday night, we will be traveling to the Georgia Dome next weekend and the party will be postponed until after the New Year.
Sorry Pat, these posts have been great and I've enjoyed reliving my 8th grade year. My company has blocked all of these type websites except during the lunch hour and I'm usually out talking to people by now, so I haven't been able to log on to BMBS. I'll never forget going to this game on Friday night of that year, and I look forward/dread the next post. Its hard to beleive it has been 10 years.
TC, you better watch out buddy.
We are getting you "hella" drunk in two weeks. Not even really sure what that means, but it's going to happen
