WinWhenItCounts

I will take issue with any official who does not like fan criticism. I also do not agree with the,"well why don't you just become an official yourself" stance either. It is my belief that any job that you are getting paid for, needs to be a job well done. It is the job of the official to be well versed in the rules, and to pay attention to the game at all times. Fans certainly have a right to complain about the officiating this year. Personally, I think it gets worse as the years go by.

Having lived there, I would not have believed it if I was not witness to it. The QB club pretty much controls the hiring and firing of the coaching staff. Politics is not the word for it.

The atmosphere is going to be great. I love Highshool football. I love the DAWGS more. Who's going to win? Obviously, Smyrna has more to lose. I'm looking forward to evaluating the offense for myself.

Wow, pretty strong words for former teammates. So, who is the "trash" you are referring to?

I would rather discuss Smyrna'a accomplishments, not get into a ###### contest with each other. This self ego inflating is a little obnoxious.

There's no doubt that Rod is a special player, but do you think all this hub bub over just one or two players is necessary? In the end, what difference does it make? Four or five years from now, we'll all know who was right. Not to say let's all quit debating.After all what's his name beat out Peyton Manning for the Heisman. Personally, I think there are several boys on Smyrna's team, maybe not all DI, but quite capable of playing on Saturday.

What's that mean? I'd tired of finding out the hard way. I'm too old.

I don't think that magnet dominance is a trend. However, it seems as though this year there were several magnet programs represented. Larger school systems are starting to offer more magnet programs for students now. It seems to be a trend in education. Rutherford is now looking at a K-12 magnet program. Parents want more for their students. If academics and athletics are a good combination, I say go for it.

Rodriquez did play as a freshman.

Obnoxious coaches wives who cannot act like a lady.

I have noticed that the fundamentals of the game are leaving us because at a younger level a lot of coaches in rec league ,etc... are more worried about teaching the kids plays and passing it to the best player rather than working on the things that really matter. What's everybody's take on it?

If anyone starts a petition to bring Coach Gonyea back, it will only be because no one likes the discipline that Coach Garner has now. In so far as some wrestlers not wrestling on Saturday, Matt Martin got ringworm from an oposing team last week. He certainly did not get it from his own mats or from his own team mates, because Coach Garner makes sure all the mats are bleached everyday. Now, no one is being run off by Chris Garner, he is an excellent coach who knows the sport and will get this program running just fine. Maybe some people think they know what is going on in Smyrna when they really don't have a clue.

I hate to hear that for Jordan, his family, and the wrestling team for Smyrna. He is an integral part of the team. Too bad

To refer to Wilks, I have personally seen his birth certificate years ago. He is 18 as of November which would make him eligible for next year. Not that anyone will take my word for it. However, when he is eligible next year, everyone who has doubted that he is truly a man among boys as far as his talent level goes, will simply continue to be amazed.

Grow some then, and confess the accusation. Quit being such a chicken, I'm assuming I know who you guys are talking about, I just someone to be man enough to admit it. I don't think anyone on this thread has the cajones to speak the truth!!!!!
