Hey, you got me. I apologize for that one. I'm graduated, and am in no way affiliated with our team. I, like a lot of people, got really mad when ONE OF OUR OWN TEAM PARENTS got on these boards where the players and everybody else can see and slandered them. I did run and shoot off my mouth, for which I apologize. I played with most of those guys, including the ones who were getting ran into the ground, and I just got angry at the complete lack of judgment, and lost my own. /blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> My bad guys.

Well said friend, although I still haven't changed my name, and my cleats have been collecting dust for a year. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Great job this year, and good luck in '08. Coach T will put out a good squad, thats for certain. This program is the best a player could ask for, and will continue to be for years down the road. Good luck and GO FALCONS!! /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

I didn't cry. It hurt, but we're not all moved the same way, and it doesn't hit us all immediately. You are over-analyzing. I know all of them by name ant talk to them almost every day. I know that this team is full of a bunch of exceptional people. And, yes, flyingfalconmom is entitled to her opinion, but it is detrimental to the team, so if she is really a supporter, she should keep it to herself. and that's that.

Yes, you are entitled to your opinion, but I would just like to inform you what your opinion is worth. Commenting on who you think should be out there pointless, and it hurts the team. However, coming from some disgruntled mom, it is worth less than dirt. Coming from an extremely recently graduated player, I have a piece of advice. STAY OFF THE FOOTBALL FIELD. WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE, AND NEITHER DO THE PLAYERS. YOU ARE IN NO POSITION TO CRITICIZE COACH T. I would like to see you do better. All you do is hurt the team, so go home and keep your vituperative comments to yourself.

Thank you. Yes, I take pride in my grammar. You want to think it's above football, thats fine. I quit band specifically to play football, and loved every minute of it, and my girl will have a funny story for you on that one. Band was OK, but it just doesn't have the perks. not here, not in the big LC, where football is king and Matt Moran is a god. Strength, agility, perseverance, endurance, and yes, INTELLIGENCE. Thats football in a nutshell. And stinkface came from the WWF, it was the signature move of RaKishi. He wore a sumo-wrestler outfit. You can guess what the move entails. We've just taken it for our use, since RaKishi got stunkfaced and retired years ago.

Whoah, I don't think ksgovols is the only one on a high horse. Get off yours, feminist. The point is that there are more male athletes. The scholarship ratio shouldn't be 50-50 men/women, it should be determined by total participants on each side. To think otherwise just doesn't make sense.

Whoah. Time out I'm gonna address all this one at a time. First off, I l know the girl that fell and broke her ankle. You conveniently left out that nobody likes her, she complains all the time and milks it for all its worth. Even morjal has gotten on her case about it. /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> also, if you're talking about the most recently departed director at LCHS, that doesn't surprise me in the least. /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> However, the point is taken. Injuries occur, however with much less frequency. Second, yes the band is less priveledged. BECAUSE THEY GROSS LESS MONEY. Imagine that. More money = more stuff. you said it yourself, sometimes the truth hurts. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Third, yes, your point is also taken. Your band really does "Tough it out." Morjal has done wonders about that. Great contrast to years past. *cough* Fourth, you are speaking from ignorance. You have never played high school football. I have however been in marching band. Fifth, If you really need us to take it easy on you, you must truly be inferior to request such an indignity. /mellow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mellow:" border="0" alt="mellow.gif" /> Sixth, I was a starter all 3 years of high school on those teams you mention as bad. Never a losing season. You misconstrue my comments toward CERTAIN MEMBERS of the band, then turn around and say even worse things yourself about the football team. My question is, how can you say those things about YOUR football team? Its not MY band. I'm long gone. Graduated. Seventh, my comments were not directed at the band as a whole. Only those who make a habit of unjustly whining and complaining. Try actually reading my posts. Life's not fair. Get over it. And yes, I would say those things at a practice, but your auspicious band director would shoot me if I tried. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> Finally, I am of the belief that competitive band is a sport, however not on the same plane as the contact sports. This is not disrespect to the band, it is simply a classification. I am not for an instant suggesting that the band is inferior. I know it's alot to ask, but this point is merely a rehash of what has already been covered previously in this thread and the other thread of the same topic. Go read them.

You joined just so you could post that junk? Thats just what we need, somebody else to fill the boards with cocky clutter. Notice how quiet all the ones who were so cocky from lebanon are this week. It will indeed be a good game. Smyrna has a recent history of pit victory, but if their team shares the attitude of their coacht posters, they'd better get comfortable on the sideline, cuz it'll be a long night.

FALCONS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great job and game on all sides. Congradulations all.

Actually, I think LC would find a way to win anyway. Thats what they do. Throw Oak ridge or even the "all powerful" riverdale our way. LC has shown many times that they can compete with the big boys. Sure we're not perennial all americans, but look at a few years back. LC had won like 2 or 3 games. Riverdale comes in ranked number one in the state with an offensive line the size of ogres. Little old LC held that team to 9 points and won the game. 1 year later, LC went up there and beat them again at their place. I even heard a rumor that we were the first team to ever beat them at the tomohawk, but I haven't done my research on that one. Point is, yeah, we've had a relative slump lately, but if we ever get back to true form, watch out. The pit WILL be rockin' again when that happens.

That makes good sense. I agree. I think Cheerleaders should get equal Title IX treatment, simply because if you are the government and you withhold money because something is LESS or MORE of a sport, you are descriminating (so long as it IS a sport, which I believe competitive cheerleading IS). My main argument is to counter the people who always complain that they are the same as any other sport and they aren't being treated with respect by people of other sports...... blah blah blah blah. /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

I think It's obvious that a band has a huge effect on a game. It just SHOULDNT have so much effect so as to prevent an offense from scoring. The only conceivable way it could do so is if the QB wanted to audible to a completely different play and someone out on the edges couldn't hear, and they just so happened to be the keystone of the play. Assuming a team is at least competent enough to get the snap in a loud environment, thats about the only way. In the event that they weren't, they would probably screw the play up some other way anyway.

No, A's don't necessarily mean anything about the team, but it does reflect upon the drawing pool for players. Unless you recruit all your players, we would roll right over you and wonder what we'd stepped on on the way to the endzone. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

A COUPLE OF MISSPELLED WORDS!!!! Whoever I was talking to deleted their post before you read it obviously. I should have quoted it but i didn't particularly want that mess gumming up my post window. It made no sense and was in blue all caps. It looked like something a 6 year old would write. Oh, and you might well be right about the head thing, but you think I'm bad, you oughtta see the shape the guys I hit heads with are in. /wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />

Because you are about to hit the brick wall that is LC's defense. I figure that's a pretty good reason. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" /> Have fun.

Never did I say they weren't athletes. I was merely responding to the cheerleadersupremacist that was running around this board. They are athletes. But the 2 sports aren't equal.

Whoa. hold on man. That same old stale offense whipped lebanon up and down the field for 3 and 3/4 quarters last year. That same old stale offense scored enough points to win the region this year. That must mean that it works. /cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" />

But thats the way its almost always been lately. Many times only one team from region 3 makes it through to round 2. It's just the way our region is set up. We have to play the state's stud region in the playoffs. CC, yall fought bravely and played a good game. Congradulations. I'm from the only class from LC over the past few years to have never won a region championship, so I know how you feel. Don't hang your heads. Oh, btw, what was with all that not ever runnin a free safety stuff by the CC defense? Seems to me like it got us a few to many yards to be practical.

haha. Thats the funniest post I've ever seen. "little ole lincoln county" coming from a A school. look at the difference. AAAAA LC - A Cascade -------- AAAA Four A's buddy. So if by little you mean massively bigger then you would be right on! /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

I agree with all of that. That's pretty much what I was trying to say, except minus the emotion and in simpler terms. I believe the heart rate thing. I've played band too.

Whoever wrote this wrote it with all the logical prowess of a 16 year old blonde. I want to see cheerleaders actually get out there and try to put pads on and play a game of football the RIGHT, REAL way. Our school had a powderpuff football game scheduled for the cheerleaders and were going to actually play in pads, but the girls wouldn't do it because it was "too hot" and the pads were "too heavy." The point is that, yes, competitive cheerleading may very well be a sport, as well as band, but to put it on the same plane with the major sports is a travesty. I bet that given a few hours to learn a routine, a football player could jump around and lift "100+" pound people at least similarly to a cheerleader. However, you would have to go to the land of the amazons to find ANY cheerleader that could compete at football. "Throwing a light ball....and Running" for miles and getting smeared into the ground by 300+ POUND PEOPLE. Unequal sports do not deserve equal treatment. I rest my case.

I graduated last year. So no. Thats why it's just a guess.

I think its because we the people from lincoln county like to let the CC helmets flying through the air do the talking on friday nite. but thats just a guess.

My opinion is that it is not a sport. My only problem with putting band on the same level as football or soccer is that you can pretty easily do band with almost no ATHLETIC ability. Yes, you must be conditioned, but in almost no way is ATHLETIC ability useful in marching band. Yes, I've seen band members have to hit their spots, yes, I realize they play for 8-10 MINUTES at a time, but just as football has the time between plays, you guys have "Park and Blow" or really slow walking. It's not like you're running the whole time, unless you're grambling state's band, which I would really consider more of a branch of the military than a sport. Anyway, the point is that.......I mean really, have you seen some of the people in the average marching band? They probably couldn't beat the average junior high kid in a game of bball much less run the miles and take the bone crunching hits it takes to play football. I'm sorry, but much of the reason that band is looked so lowly upon is because there are a lot of complainers from that camp. Always complaining about how you dont get the respect you think you deserve. my advice: Grow some, SUCKIT UP, and ACTUALLY GO OUT THERE AND EARN THE RESPECT! Complaining makes you look like 2 year olds. To the poster from cascade: I just had to include this in there cuz i dont feel that you took enough flak for all those naive posts. You say you have a cousin who plays, and have talked to people who play football. My question is, In what way does that at all replace actually getting out there and doing it? how can you convey all the hard work we do in a simple conversation? YES, IVE DONE BOTH!!! Band and football. Part of the problem could be that you are up there at tiny little cascade, and don't know what a real football team looks like. My advice: come down here to Lincoln County and we'll show you one. The only problem is that we would never play yall, because we like competition.

Good luck tonight everyone. It should be a great game. It's been raining up here at Tennesee Tech this morning, and I'm not sure of the forecast, but it could get slippery.
