I agree with everything Raiseemrightandpray said. I didn't go to the game, conflict and son graduated, but from what I saw and heard from radio and Diamond Clear media, the Alcoa team and fans again lived up to my expectations. They were extremely gracious last year at our place and staff and players were first class. They didn't disappoint again this year. I helped with field setup for years and ran with the sticks crew. Alcoa's team from the top down was respectable and good sports. Its easy to get the big head when you win as much as they do, but they have a poise about them that says, "been there, done that, no biggie". I like it. Rankin could've really made a statement for upcoming teams with a continued onslaught, but chose to pull back on the reins. Very classy and smart on his part. I wish Alcoa continued success as the season continues and hope they get some more hardware from Cookeville in December.

Think we have found GoldenBear...these are the things he kept saying a year ago. spring practices when the entire team is not even solidified yet..we have moved on from preseason.

I hope we keep playing because it helps us both I think. I don't see Coach Bowling running from anything like Mayfield. He is having a hard time filling the schedule as it is. So as long as we can I think we will be playing the Cardinals.

Sounds Like When Elizabethton dropped Greeneville in 2007 after play every year dating back to 1953 and left Greeneville scrambling to find a game in 5a Mercy County, KY (State Champs the previous year.)

Your wishing BVD so you can say Greeneville beat someone decent.....lol DB looked awful they will be lucky to win 3 games. Great win Greeneville you all beat a name not a good team.

I wore my PawPaw Bakers old MC hat with the old MC logo on it to the state games his freshman and sophomore years guess I'll wear it all year for him this year! My PawPaw would get a kick out of it if he was still here to see me wear it.

Oh Lord. Can't wait for the 7th to put some more fear in the beard.

On that hill playing king of the hill and cup ball at the bottom of it is the first time I heard horse from the band and fell in love with the Pirates. Didn't know what the song was but figured out that we did something good Everytime it played.

Alcoa and Greeneville still too low. However, the only poll that matters is the one that comes out the second week of December..

I bet Roy did alot at Beene stadium we don't even know about!!!

Yes sir. That may be a reason as to why the crowd seems more subdued nowadays. Since they moved those bathrooms the pheromones under the bleachers have diminished over time. It's a scientific fact that pheromones excites humans. Roy might have been right under our noses all summer long. Drinking red bull and peeing under Griders bleachers.

Yup we will be back. I've saw you guys have been working hard upgrading the speedway. Looks nice up there.

That's why The Boyd Buchanan Buccaneers have always been referred to as your team. Yall will get it turned around I'm sure.

Golden Tide a thing of beauty

I miss the old days where this was a region game as well. People think 7-2A is tough today. It used to be Milan, Trenton, Scumboldt, Huntingdung, USJ, Westview, JCS and Drestank. At the time, Westview and Humboldt were really good as was USJ. JCS and Dresden were both improving. The region was brutal nit was the black and blue region.

Be glad to buddy

Big Melvin is gonna be a Vol.

Do you mean the same school that has 2400 students to choose from. Cookeville was still picked top 50% fo 6a . UHS is the real deal. If you are using the reasoning for CHS losing then your same philosophy would have to work the other way. UHS is returning i believe 10 on offense and 10 on defense. Most have been playing since sophomore year. Can't have it both ways. UHS, York, Sequatchie/Smith

He is referring that Hartsville is coming next week. MJCA are the saints!

They had to sit out the Jamboree and game one for violating team rules!!

49-7 GHS. West scores late on 2nd string.

I think on paper Westy should win but I'm gonna go with boys on the ridge in a tight one 14-12 Tigers

I really don't care where kids attend school or participate in athletics. My true feelings are if they are in a gym, on an athletic field, in the band room or practicing for a play they are staying out of trouble and no one is getting pregnant. MNPS has always allowed kids to attend a school out of zone but that is a MNPS decision. There is a reason that even with high tuition cost private schools thrive in Davidson County and it's due to the idiots on Bransford Avenue and the MNPS Board of Directors. My issue is with the outdated TSSAA rules regarding transferring to another school once a student athlete begins the 9th grade. So much has changed since most of the rules were established in the 1960's.

Thank you Mike. The scene there at The Dungeon was one that sticks with you. You see the emotions and you realize, this could just have easily been my kid. They definitely need all the prayers they can get.

Worst part of college football starting up is having to hear that awful rocky top song constantly

A benefit should also be held to provide Houston County High School the appropiate funding to hire a full time athletic trainer. Luckily, Joe Byrnes had an athletic trainer present when they scrimmaged Houston County. This athletic trainer acted quickly and probably saved this young mans life. EVERY High school in Tennessee should have an athletic trainer!

DB has a good football team. Throwout that 43-3 loss at the hands of Greeneville. You have to understand just how good this years Greeneville team is, just watch the highlight footage on p62 of the Greeneville @ DB thread.. They are going to abuse everybody they play, not just DB. OR better come prepared for a dogfight.

Hows your picks working out?

Not at all. I just love watching the game. It is to me, the purest, most closely related sport to create life lessons that carry on to real life. In the future, hold nothing back with me, just a guy who loves life.

No my friend, you have gotten it all wrong. I don't get offended or take any ones opinions personally. I was just pointing out that for me, I am just glad my son is learning life lessons through the game. If you know me at all, you know things really don't bother me at all. Your opinion is just fine. At this point I just choose to stay optimistic.

2018 has zero teams that could easily land in Cookeville. Guaranteed nothing will be easy on either side East or West. Home or away

Right the difference between 3A and 5A is student enrollment lol. I'm not saying Brainerd (3A) win beat a 6A school, all I'm saying is it's some teams that are 3A that can beat a 6A school.

LOL

I hope these Frog Bottom boys come away with the victory.

All these polls are BS this early. Look Fairview got in on a loss and East Nashville beat 6A Riverdale and didn’t smh

Science Hill has one of the best high school football stadiums in Tennessee. #LOP

Do you not have a dumpster to watch burn?

Lmao. There's a reason Passive calls her Moodywoman87.

This is gonna be a long season lol.

I guess that means we were looking for Roy in all the wrong places Looking for Roy in too many faces Searching the wrappers looking for traces Of the fudge rounds he was speaking of. Murphy won't release a pole until we find him Red Bull's sales are declining That's why we're looking for Roy

You sure are an grumpy ole lady

I'd tend to agree if this is a close game or DB wins .However,you never know the whole story until the season is complete.I hope Greeneville can win another title this year but no team is guaranteed that at this point and time.So many factors can derail a season .

Wow, it seems like just yesterday that Tyrus Ward was Brainerd's gifted QB and now if he coaches as well as he played he will have Brainerd looking sharp sooner than later...

I put zero stock in these polls and the sports writers that vote in them. #3 Haywood County is 0-1 on the season after dropping their season opener to Henry County last Friday. These polls can't even get the team records right.

Rhea will win this game. Brainerd is a very young team with majority sophomores. The coach is in his 2nd year and is trying to change the culture of football. They are top heavy at the skill positions. Very fast/quick team but lacking in experience. If the game is close at the end proceed with caution and by no means overlook this team. They are hungry for a "big" win!!

I don't have a pick. I am just genuinely tired of you putting a bullseye on Forrest's back, every year, every week even. And then following up your post later that week with, "...won't be able to make it to the game. Will be following on the radio, though." I may only have 7 posts, but I've been following your 2,000+ posts of nonsense for years now. You need to shut your mouth.
