Jeff co. is always IMAC in my book. It is hard for me(being old school) to rally around SC,Seymour and SD being IMAC. If they are going to let 6a and 5a be in a conference together to "cut down on travel", why not put 4a in there too and really cut it down? I may get used to it..................but no time soon.

Amen to the Greeneville comment. Do you really miss them?

I don't need buddies to back me up. You took shots at an 18 year old kid that you even admitted warranted an apology. I called you out on it and you did not like it. I am not afraid to call you a coward here or anywhere else and don't need backup. I told you where I would be and do not have time in my schedule to run around to various other places waiting on you. If you don't want to be called out for what you say, don't say it.

I will be at the East high practice field Tue. afternoon. I drive a silver Tacoma. Bet ya don't show.

Strong comments about a 18 year old kid you don't know. I have not read ONE excuse for this loss and have not heard ONE made. We got outplayed by a better team. We had kids hurt in the game. Dee Dee did not quit, he may be hurt worse than imagined. I have seen Tee hit hard his whole career and keep going. We have underachieved this year big time. There is NO excuse for that. Thanks for remaining a nameless,faceless coward. You suite Morristown well.

Funny, what paper was that? I never read that or heard where he said that.

This thread has turned from talking about football to taking personal shots at people. Why take a shot at someone because they have ties to a certain school? Why take shots at someone you don't even know? I know Shadetree and yes, he actually described himself well.

This may be a hard one for the Canes to win. We will just have to see how it plays out.

maybe 55.

Cooler the weather is, the better it is for East's, because of the players who will be going both-ways. Weather being mild, Conditioning should 'nt be a problem. Morristown West has over 80 players, and no-one plays both-ways. We'll take any break we can get. Canefan72 how did practice go today? How did #40 Matt Helton ankle look? has Tee-Howell return to practice? GO CANES! I did not get to go today. I will give you an update when rockhead gets home.

We could not tackle that night at all. They lit us up and we could not get a stop. They had been ranked #9 preseason and have alot of talent but I agree. They are not that good and if we played ANY D that night, we win.

We looked better against Cherokee but that was not a real measure of how better we have gotten. We tackled poorly against AE and very poorly against Cleveland. I know the speed they had played a big factor in that as well. My point being this: playing a senior or junior over a soph. increases your chances of making a play. The young guys rotating in and sometimes starting will have fewer reps and the upper classmen more. Will it fix the problem? Maybe. Will it give us a bteer lineup that will make plays? Yes.

If you don't want my answers, don't ask me the question. Yes we lost 2 games and tackling was the problem not conditioning.

Not questioning you, just curious: how good is your info here? You aren't a coach at East, obviously, but you do seem to attend most gatherings that the team has. Is this a fact coming from someone in charge that East is going to play more guys both ways from now on? Is it linemen that are going both ways? LB's? Secondary? If so, conditioning could factor into the outcome. West hasn't significantly played anyone both ways since the late 90's (to their detriment, perhaps, at times), and I imagine that that hasn't changed. I appreciate any info you care to share. They have done this in the past in big games and even more times than others this year. Conditioning will not be a factor.

Is this something East might do in the middle of the season? Start playing more guys both ways? Seems like an odd time to me. I don't coach football, though, and certainly not in eastern Morristown. What I am saying is that the guys going both ways is around 40% of the reps on D now. They may up it to 80% for this game. They have been doing it all year and will just up the reps for the ones doing it.
