I know us fans are getting frustrated because LC hasn't won state in 14 years, it frustrates me too. But I was very proud of the team this year. They won the region for the first time since '03 (I think). They beat a pretty dadgum good Lebanon team before running into the defending 5A champs from Smyrna. They also beat a pretty dadgum good Coffee County team to win the region.
We all know that when it comes down to playoff time, it's tough to compete with the teams from M'boro/Nashville. They have sooooo much talent to pick from.
Coach T may need some help, but there is no doubt that he is a great coach, and knows more about football than most of us will ever dream of knowing. I have questioned him, and probably run him into the ground too, because sometimes it just doesn't look like he knows what he's doing, but we don't always know what's going on in the background. A play that doesn't work can look like the worst idea in the world, but they have watched film and know the tendencies of the other teams, and if that play works, Coach looks like a genius.
FF07, I know who you are, and I think you did a great job this year, and you don't deserve all the crap you're reading on here. Every one of you should hold your heads high. Y'all did a great job this year. I have a son that plays for LC, and I know for a fact that he respects and listens to Coach T more than he does me. That hurts a little, but I played sports, I know how it is. /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> By the way, off topic, are you hearing from any colleges?
Anyway, LC will be fine. They would really benefit from reclassification. In my opinion, they either need to be 4A, or Tennessee needs to create a 6A as Alabama did several years ago. It's hard to compete with schools that have 1.5+ times the enrollment, which equates to more athletes to pick from.
