i dont think he'll do away with all the dumb ship he's known for until his "ship" docks on campus in knoxville. When he gets punched in the gut and smashed in the face a couple good times by some dude half his size, but twice his skill level, i think that's when he will throttle the ship waaaaay down...lol

yes indeed. 2 things that concern me most about that first game....numbers and overconfidence....not saying thats an issue down here at all, i just know how15,16 and 16 year old young men can be when all they hear is how good they are...that of course is the case anywhere i suppose.

This is a great game for Greeneville because DB has some fine athletes and are 6A.All to gain in my mind.DB could have been  deeper here and there but they are still loaded with talent

I'll just be blunt here.  The best possible scenario for DB football this year, with Klass Klown at the helm, is a 4-6 season.  After 3 games they will be 0-3.  The Greenville game will be a blow out.  Hopefully the band won't waste money and will only send a small pep band.  They have bigger fish to fry and are hoping to place better than 10th place nationally like they did last year. Until sonething changes, this is a band school.

Cook knows how to run his program.  We need the same level of talent in head coach position.

I would think 5 wins for sure, 5-5 or 6-4 is probably the way it turns out.    That should be good enough to make the playoffs, right??      I think the Super 32 is gone now (someone correct this) so everyone has to earn the playoffs now. 

Could be a rough start but the Tribe should finish strong headed into post season:

Aug. 18 @ Greeneville
Aug. 25 Oak Ridge   
Sep. 1  Science Hill
Sep. 8  @ Sevier County      WIN
Sep. 22 Alcoa   
Sep. 29 @ Bearden               WIN
Oct. 6  Farragut
Oct. 13 @ Hardin Valley       WIN
Oct. 20 Morristown West     WIN
Oct. 27 @ Jefferson County WIN

Hey guys   ---  DB/Greeneville kicks off in 16 days       Where is all the chatter ?!?!?!

Not to many fans like the taste of crow is my guess.Both teams have enough talent to take the other behind the woodshed and lay a 4 or 5 touchdown beating on the other.A few mistakes and big momentum could make it happen.It really wouldn't surprise me if this was the case or it came down to 3 overtimes.Now,Batman has his cape covered either way.There is no question to which team should have a huge advantage in depth and should be the out right favorite.Not because DB is 3 times bigger,but because of what was in the system and those players that are still on DB's roster.That said,Greeneville might not have started with as many athletes , but they have some great ones and one of the best coaching staffs in the state.Those two factors and the fact Greeneville players are generally a little tougher then most athletes they go against,add up to even matchup in my mind.

Talked the other day with someone who watched the Boone/Greeneville scrimmage.

This guy said that Greeneville has a couple of D1 receivers and their QB can sling it all over the field.    Supposedly a college coach or 3 there too...      Boone didn't look as bad as last year against them but according to him Greeneville pretty much had their way.

So what does that mean to DB?      Perhaps nothing, you never know how guys are going to perform under the lights.    DB's secondary has been a little questionable as of late so they could very well be tested early....     If DB's offense is as high octane as I have heard it might turn into a  48-44 type of game.

Good Luck vs. Tenn. High in your scrimmage.

Hey dbgrad70, what great football factory did you come from?  You don't even know if the big 32 still is in place or not.  NO, it fell by the wayside.

Got an idea, why don't you apply for the job when it comes open?  Surely to goodness you can produce 200+ wins in the next 20 years.

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • 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.
