linebackers don't play honest either with 7 on the field. Should be allowed to hand the ball off to a tailback once in a while.

Just something to jump start things until real sfuff. It sure don't tell you whose gonna be good or bad

I havent been around the team since the title game but have heard we may have gotten some help in the areas needed.After talking with a close friend of mine who is VERY close to the program the news is outstanding!Picked up some lineman to fill the shoes of our graduates and we all know that was our soft spot last season as well as the year before.Got two lineman in that are of a huge nature,one has won the defensive player 2 times at Nick Sabans defensive camps.He of course is from Alabama and will be a Freshman,the other kids have put in alot of work in the weight room and i am amazed and the size they have gotten!Now can we can put it all together and get to the Semis again???Only time will tell.

 

 

Stars offering Garbage Service to help Greenback? LOL. Stars wife is a Greenback Graduate. I hope you guys win State this year.

Successful 7 on 7 at MC today! Better than expected with WR Jones out and Roberts only going part time. Some young WRs looked promising. Edwards really stood out at times. Good size to throw to speedy and lanky. Kid can jump! Offense looked tough and defense good too until players started getting tired and there were a few mental hiccups. All in all good showing. Results vs Cookeville 10-2 GB, vs Knox West 8-2 GB, vs Webb 5-4 Webb (this is where we lost Roberts to dehydration and got a little tired) not many subs with the small crew we took, vs Campbell County not sure (played on a 30 yard narrow OL practice field so it was hard to tell when or if a score occurred). Pretty even but GB may have came out on top by 2. Early season with younger players showing great promise and veterans looking like veterans picking up where they left off. Can't wait too see 1st scrimmage with the pads and the line, right OnB?

Is that Aug 10 date correct? We scrimmage 2 days before Jamboree?

Yep...that is what has been wrote on the white board in the Coaches office. I thought it was odd, an on a Wednesday, to have a scrimmage that close to the jamboree when I seen it over a month ago.

Thanks.Should be two decent scrimmages.Polk should be getting better and LC is a 5A/6A school regardless.

Polk isn't getting any better. They should be, but just isn't. Getting players from Alabama now??? That's our job! Lol. Good luck. I'm calling it now. Expect us to face each other and the winner representing the East.

I have been looking forward to another meeting since the last playoff game we had.That was a good hard hitting game,and I expect no less!I just hope we can get it all together this year if we do we have the potential to be scary good!

Cloudland will probably be able to compete with most region 2 teams if they can stay healthy..Think they would be out manned against you guys.

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
