I say it's either teams game to win for several reasons , one being that this early in the season,some teams jel quicker then others.If it was solely based on numbers ,Id be very concerned.I've seen 140 kids out for a DB spring practice before and I doubt many schools in this area have ever seen that.Yep,you can only play 11 unless the refs don't catch you,but depth always worries me in these kinds of matchups.That's why I liked seeing the 2nds run the offense last year when I got a chance to see the Devils play during the regular season.

Humm.......lets see, which team has the best coaching staff?

 

I'd say this is Greeneville's game to lose. I would expect DB to have 150yrds. in penalties and at least 3 turnovers. I'll hold off on predicting a final score until I find out how many players quit or transfer to Science Hill.

Right on about the yellow markers....    DB cannot afford to play a sloppy game.

 

There is another factor at play here too, its a little harder to quantify, but here goes....   Greeneville knows how to win and DB does not.       Don't anyone take that wrong, what I mean is that for the last decade or so Greeneville has had not only a winning program but also a winning mentality in the coaching staff, community and players.      There was a time when DB's program was there but not lately.     Its that "find a way to win" thing that teams like Maryville seem to have.

I understand what your saying blazer.Several things have changed in Greeneville to make them more competitive and several things have happened in Kingsport that could have been done differently I'm sure.I didn't like it at first but Greeneville is playing schools more of it's own size.Years ago they along with any others like Elizabethton had to try and go though much bigger schools to advance.That by the way will be a great yearly game.

Someone said the game will be on tv.Anyone know who will carry it.

 

The DB coach announced this at the time the schedule was announced.  Got the feeling  this was set up by Greeneville staff or someone in charge down there.  Don't know what station will carry it.  I thought at one time there was a local station broadcasting out of there.  I don't believe it's the same deal as those Knoxville area Thursday night games.   I'm sure it will be on the local cable to get all the coverage possible.   Just another tidbit that gives the feeling that this is an "all in" poker game.

It will be nice for all those that can't go to able to see the game.The seating isn't anywhere near big enough to handle a game like South at DB back 10 or 11 years ago.A lot of people in the area will want to see this one too.

They should move this game to Thursday night so that those who follow other teams can see it.    This will be the marquee matchup in all of east TN on opening night.          Or even Saturday.     Morristown did that last year (opened on Saturday) and it was a good crowd for both games.

I'd say a few will tune in and skip their own teams game.I seen BVD's response on the other thread.This might get a little lively between now and game day

    • From my understanding, Jay Graham pretty much took over HC responsibilities in that game, so you can thank him. Cute Andy didn’t need help, though. Cute Andy could’ve beaten us without any assistant coaches.
    • Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less. 
    • This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd...
