Hey newbie - this Tygard man is living rent free in a bunch of y'all's heads. It's the same staff as last year with the exception of one - and he took a job at MTSU? I guess the coaches are not as clear on wanting to leave as you are. I know some folks are concerned about the change and the technology CCT is bringing to the game. I mean, I might not be comfortable either with having that chip inserted in my head to track my performance during a game! Who knows if he activates it at other times??!! I also think the HUD in the visors would be a little distracting - but being able to see the angle and speed of a defender coming at you, along with the trajectory of the ball in the air, has to be an advantage. And who knows what the TSSAA will rule on his using the nano bots to track the opposing teams players - I mean they don't even know they are being tracked! What are opponents to do? Maybe employ an EMP at half-time to disable them, but you know CCT will just have a second batch released as soon as they come back out on the field! You know his nefarious mind is always working on something.

No disrespect but what did he ever do at MJ to have a field named after him? Is the bar really set that low over there? This smells like a son throwing dad a thank you for the job bone. I could be wrong though.

These young men are all amazing

Both teams are together in the middle of the field hand in hand praying. Class from both teams.

26-14 Milan. 2:10 to go.

I expect a close game with HC pulling away in the 4th. I think the veteran leadership of HC shows up this game and all season.

Westview will return to Earth after their Milli Vanilli 1 hit wonder season.

It was 93, Wild did a marvelous job of getting boys on the football field, and he had a monster staff helping him. Mike Newton was the defensive coordinator and they ran the veer offensively. I'll hold to my thoughts though. If Central's defense can get to Miller and put him on the ground, they can be successful, if not he will beat you in the open field. To me this is the difference. This and win the turnover game. Still going to be a tough task in my opionion. McMinn offense will be better than any team MC has faced in the pre-season.

Heritage has been a train wreck since 1989. For 33 years the best three teams went 7-4,5-5 and 5-6 crowded around with five 0-10 teams and ten going 1-9. If I had been the A.D. and all those boys quit the football team like they did three years ago on Hammontree I would have cancelled the program and took forfeits as to have a bunch of punks all get together and quit. I would also made sure that high school yearbook had a big color picture of the team with everyone that quits face whited out but their name still at the bottom of the page so all the quitters would never be forgotten. Once a quitter always a quitter and that's what's wrong with society now.

Sad! Every parent wants (or should want) what's best for their child. Unfortunately what some want is what they want, not what's best for the child. KIDS SPORTS, LET THE KIDS PLAY IT, STAY OUT OF THE WAY!

I'm very proud of this Peabody team. They played with a lot of heart tonight. Playing without 2qbs. The refs did not cost us the game but they allowed Milan to hold all night. If the fans see it, the refs see it. Hats off to a really talented Bulldog team. Coach Carr has no class. 2yeats ago on that same field, Peabody took a knee on the 3 yard line. Fast forward to tonight. Peabody no time outs,. Less than 2 minutes and Milan throws the ball. That was so classless and I promise it will come back and bite You in the a..,.

I actually was on the fence in the end zone and the Milan crowd was more like the old Milan. Man they were loud and into it. Was good to see that. They are a big time program and hopefully they will get settled in with coaches etc….Peabody will be a very tough out down the road. They are very talented.

If Peabody had run the wildcat from the get-go they could have won this game. I don't know if the Bulldog defense could have withstood that kind of pressure. Milan is very quick and hard to get the edge on but are vulnerable up the gut. I don't believe this Peabody squad has the speed yall have had the last few years. Milan's QB played well and #3 is a very solid runningback. Both teams made bunch of mistakes. Good game but I was not overly impressed with either team.

Cant wait to watch the new look Wildcats.I look for a good game and hope Oak Ridge can leave Knoxville 1-0.We have a great staff but our fans need to be patient as they build this thing back the right way.We are building depth we havent had since coach Blade.I really think that has been the missing piece to get this program over that last hump again.So enjoy the ride and support this team and staff because the payoff will be fun.Lets fill up the visitor side the next 2 weeks.RWR

4 games! I agree he should be starting at RB.

SP was roughed up on the line, as I saw it

Well that definitely looked like a week 1 performance for both offenses. Who in the world was in charge of the clock in this one? I lost track of the number of times the clock operator just let the clock run for no apparent reason.

Yess! Wouldn’t be rite to go home without nacho cheese on your shirt. Good luck to both tonight, I’ve enjoyed this thread.

Absolutely

First… let me say I have ZERO to do with this program. Just wanted to get that out of the way so everyone knows I’m unbiased on this. I recently spoke with Tygard about the program. The ups, the downs. The good, the bad. We talked offense, we talked defense. We talked principles, we talked philosophy. We talked staff. We talked about all of it. After that conversation, I can tell you that he has some good things going there. If people would take a little time to really take a look, you would see that.

PREACH!!!!! You come in prepared to troll with knowledge and some preparation ... the only preparation HCTonyDee is familiar with is PpreparationH.....

Yea i grew up in Covington as well as played for Covington. So to us it was "across the river". LOL My wife is from Brownsville and my kids go to school here too! So I whole heartedly pull for the Tomcats! (Unless they are playing the chargers then its a win win for me!!) And yes, I believe the rival should be played every year!

Too many connections to Milan, gotta cheer the Dawgs on in this one. Hope for an entertaining injury free game most of all.

Oh I hate the drive back from Kingsport, especially if we lose! haha Everyone in the motorhome either has a drink or is asleep and I'm driving. Thanks for caring . Look me when you come over to Oak Ridge on sept. 9th.

Three forks store has pretty good food for something quicker! Fish & chicken are great

Yes, he is still teaching. Will he be there after this year probably not. Coach Hookfin is in a similar situation. Tho he didn’t resign due to those types of things. He resigned for the school to go in a different direction over in Arkansas. He’s not just apart of administration and not coaching

It’s comments he’s said to have made that i would not voice on this site, so that very well could be true. Hence i already did say when i mentioned parents were tired of his wreckless talking

I actually have more respect for the "tiger team across the river" than i do for the "mighty trojans" (as far as fans are concerned). The tiger team, in my un professional opinion, is just one good coach away from being really really good! They compare to Haywood in that they always have athletes!!

Gotcha. So he resigned week 1 because the principal made him. I Understand. Hope he can clear that up in future interviews. That’s one of A kind

Ha! You need a Riverdale Helmet and a pack o chewing gum for the Shop!

Or T-rump would testify under oath instead of pleading the 5th 400 times

yep...and thats bein kind Booger just sayin

I admittedly don't know much about either Perry but I just didn't remember either doing much outside of 7 wins or so and early exits from the playoffs. I should probably research more before I post. It just surprised me when I couldn't find any championships or anything. Did he donate a bunch of money to the school?

I don't have a dog in the fight but I've read all 24 pages of this thread and almost wish I did. I have loved the back and forth! I do a little spoof of Leonard's Losers for those old enough to remember his radio show. I normally post it in the 4A section but thought some may get a kick out of it since I chose this game as one of my five for Thursday night. Peabody Golden Tide at Milan Bulldogs The Gibson County Grapple Quite possibly the toughest game to call but it should be an absolute slobber knocker when the Plum Puppies welcome the Yella Wave into the kennel. It’s been 5 years of frustration for the West Tennessee Canines but this team is dog gone fast! Meanwhile, the Trenton Teapots have something brewing with the strength in the fellas up front. The Tide should be floodin’ by the fourth and the dawgs won’t be able to keep their heads above water. Percy’s Pushover in a close one: Milan Good luck to both sides! Hope it's fun, thrilling, and injury free!

Totally agree

Ahhh MJ ... Bluegreymom is just being a Mom! She worries about folks.

Waverly/White house??? Upperman/Watertown???? Clarksville/Springfield….? they need to quit trying so hard to please everybody based on areas and classifications…. And instead just put watchable games on TV.. lol

Good luck Chargers. I am not a fan, but I respect the program, fans, and traditions that are set up over there in C town. Wish you guys luck Friday.

For the Beech fans making the drive, y’all please be safe and try to rest up before the trip, or maybe even consider staying overnight Friday and heading home Saturday morning If that’s an option for you (and you don’t have to pick your player up back at the school). I know it’s not all that far but the drive can be a tough one at 10:00 pm after waking early and being up all day working or taking care of children/family. Just something to think about. It’s great experience for the kiddos but makes for a really long day for families. Everyone please be cautious!

No doubt. He does this every year and it has to be a headache and a half to keep up with it. He stays on it though, a lot of times he's posting it right after it happens

You mentioned Jeff Co. I’ll take an educated guess and say they probably had the best winning percentage in the state in the 1980’s, with the possible exception of BA, although they only won one state championship. Them and Rhea Co. had a great rivalry and played every season, plus two outstanding playoff games. In an oddity, the visiting team won every single game in the series. A coach that won a game or two at Maryville played on a couple of those Jeff Co. teams. Sorry for getting off-topic.

Something weird happened. I wish NSHS the best.

TCA and Adamsville fans need to be aware. There are at least 2 websites out there advertising that they will have a live video stream of the Adamsville at TCA game on Friday. One of them is even masquerading as the NFHS website. The NFHS network is not broadcasting this game as TCA is not a NFHS member school. Worthy Road Studios has the contract for TCA video streams. Any other video stream site is FAKE NEWS. They are trying to get your personal information. The Adamsville at TVA game on Friday will be available on the TCA Facebook page. I believe this is the correct link. https://m.facebook.com/1719977864938017/ Any other links offering a free video stream are just trying to gett your personal information.

TCA and A'ville have definitely had some wars over the past decade, and this one probably won't be much different. Both teams will be anxious to get off on the right foot after being a little behind what they have been used to, and 0-1 isn't in either's plans. Wouldn't be surprised if there's a little breeze in the air when the TCA bus rolls in...just enough to shake the bushes over toward the visitors sideline a 'lil bit.

I don"t know when I've seen so many "good" teams in rural west tennessee. Remains to be seen how many great teams there are but there are a lot of talented teams across the west.
