Talk, as they say - is cheap.
It's time to put up or shut up. St. Thomas Aquinas and Byrnes... it's finally here.
And I'm going to miss it.
Yep, I'm one of the few state-wide (and nation-wide) media members who will NOT be in attendance at Lockhart Stadium tomorrow.
Why?
I have a previous commitment.
I'll be at Armwood/Plant. I picked this game a long time ago and the folks at Armwood and Plant have always treated me to a great show - so I'm sticking with the original plan.
But I'll be watching.
An 8 PM kickoff allows me to watch the game at the Beefs in Seffner while doing the show (an ADD person's nightmare) but if I could manage the Lakeland/De LaSalle game last week - I can manage this one.
There are other 'big' games this week.
One is Saturday night at Traz Powell - as the Bulls of Northwestern take on Washington's Tornado attack.
My friend Larry Lastarza (LAZ Index) picks Washington to upset the Bulls.
Not going to happen Larry.
Northwestern has a date Thursday with Central - in what could go a long way to deciding who's going to represent 6A South this year. I'm not saying there aren't other teams out there - but Central and Northwestern are head and shoulders better than anyone else in districts 9-16.
Lincoln goes to Pine Forest - that's another big game for the Trojans. You saw former Lincoln standout quarterback BJ Daniels do to Florida State what he did to several teams throughout his prep career - make people miss.
Other games to watch include Madison County taking on Columbia in a battle of unbeatens. Craig Howard has 'righted' the Tigers' ship after a dismal 4-6 campaign last year and has a 3-0-1 record. Madison is young, but still - well - it's the Cowboys.
This year's battle for the Bone (Seminole and Deland) features a great matchup. Deland's offense vs. Seminole's defense.
Several big games, but the tv cameras will be on Lockhart for a few hours... if you're interested in going to the game - visit the St. Thomas Aquinas website for ticket information.
Follow all the action around the state of Florida as the Beef 'O' Brady's scoreboard show covers Friday night like no one else.

He's good at what he does, that's for sure.
