IF THE CHOCTAWS BLOW OUT OBION COUNTY ! note: IF ! Maybe you oughtta look back @ a couple of the scores they "HUNG" on the CHOCTAWS IN THE EARLY 2000' YEARS ! I MAINTAIN THAT THE REBELS AIN'T GONNA ROLL OVER FOR ANYBODY ! A VICTORY AGAINST DC WOULD ALMOST SALVAGE AN OTHERWISE "LACKLUSTER" SEASON ! THE RIVALRY BETWEEN DC & OCCHS GOES FSR LONGER THAN THE ONE BETWEEN DYERSBURG & OBION COUNTY ! SO REST ASSURED WIT EVERYTHING TO GAIN (PRIMARILY PRIDE) AND NOTHING TO LOSE ! BET ON THIS ! THE REBELS WILL COME TO PLAY ! SO CHOCTAWS YOU BETTER BUCKLE 'EM UP & BE SET FOR A DOGFIGHT! THE YEAR THAT DC WON THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP WE PLAYED A 1-9 TEAM (PEABODY) THAT RUINED OUR PERFECT SEASON IN WEEK 10 ! SO NOTHING IS OVER TILL ITS OVER ! BOW UP CHOCTAWS ! TAKE 'EM ONE AT A TIME ! EVERYTHING COMES IN TIME ! ALL TOO SOON THIS YEAR WILL BE OVER & FOR YOU SENIORS YOUR HIGH SCHOOL CAREER AS WELL ! LEAVE NO ROOM FOR WHAT IF'S TAKE IT FROM SOME ONE THAT STILL LIVES WITH THE WHAT IF'S SOME 30 + YEARS LATER ! YOU WILL NEVER FORGET THEM NOR GET THEM BACK ! TROJANS MIGHT WANNA TAKE NOTE AS WELL ! YEP THIS IS COMIN FROM AN "OL CHOCTAW" (Y'ALL GOT ONE ON THE COACHIN STAFF TOO! SO I HEAR (WHO IS A VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE) YOU CAN'T LET THE SHOWDOWN THAT'S COMIN TAKE YOUR FOCUS AWAY FROM THE TASK @ HAND i PULL FOR D'BURG ALL BUT 1 WEEK A YEAR ! I'M FROM DYER COUNTY ! DYERSBURG IS IN DYER COUNTY SO WHY WOULD I NOT WANT BOTH OUR TEAMS TO FARE WELL IN THEIR QUESTS FOR PLAYOFFS & MORE ! CHOCTAWS & TROJANS ALIKE BEST TAKE NOTE ABOUT NEVER BEIN ABLE TO GET THESE DAYS BACK ! SMASH MOUTHIN EACH OTHER AIN'T GETTIN EITHER OF YOU ANY WHERE EXCEPT FOR OPENIN' THE DOOR FOR A "SPOILER" TO INFECT YOU WITH THE "WHAT IF VIRUS" ! IT'S A NASTY BUG & THE ONLY VACCINE IS FOCUS ! TWO WEEEKS FROM NOW IS JUST THAT ! A LOT OF QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED BEFORE THAT SHOWDOWN SO TO BOTH THE CHOCTAWS & TROJANS I'D LET THOSE QUESTIONS BE ANSWERED BEFORE I STARTED QUIBBLING OVER G.A.T.A. T SHIRTS ! OR TALKIN SMASH MOUTH ABOUT WHAT ALL THE FOLKS IN DYER COUNTY ARE TALKIN ABOUT EVERY DAY ! LEAVE THAT TO THE "ARMCHAIR QUARTERBACKS" IN THE COFFE SHOPS OR WHERE EVER TIL THEN "TCOB" BOTH OF YOU !

EASY NOW ! First of all G.A.T.A AINT "TRADEMARK REGISTERED" ! If it was y'all would both be payin' SEC royalties to use it ! WAGATA we are gettin after.... NEED I SAY MORE !?WAS AROUND UT IN THE "70's" so an abreviated version" GATA "would likely be some sort of infringement ( should D'burg have any clam to the alphabet) BOTH TROJANS & CHOCTAWS BEST STAY FOCUSED ON THE TASK @ HAND ! AND NOT BE LOOKIN' AHEAD TO THE CHOCTAWS & TROJANS OR TROJANS & CHOCTAWS MATCH UP ! THERE IS ANOTHER COIN OF PHRASE I HEARD AROUND NEYLAND "TCOB" TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS (OR BIZNESS OR BINESS OR WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE) ! FOR ANY OF THE EXCLAMATION POINTS THAT EITHER THE TROJANS OR CHOCTAWS HAVE IN MIND TO PUT ON THIS SEASON THAT'S WHAT YOU BOTH HAD BETTER BE DOIN !

"Bubba" Johnson & Jimmy Noonan were "CUT FROM THE SAME CLOTH" WITHOUT A DOUBT ! Jimmy Noonan made John Chavis look like a "TEDDY BEAR" ! I remeember well when Noonan showed up on the "Hill" ! HE came in H3!! BENT FOR LEATHER TO BE SURE ! Insofar as "OL Choctaws" go Bubba DIDN"T HAVE NO REVERSE GEAR ! If you did kill "EVERY HAIR ON JIS BODY/roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

You can REST ASSURED that all the I's ARE DOTTED & T's CROSSED ! A program like D'burg is not gonna let a technicality ruin a season like they have goin'! AND SURELY if there were any DUST TO KICK UP ABOUT IT , it WOULD HAVE COME FROM OCCHS ! NOPE I don't think there's an issue here! What Coach of any reputible program would risk either his TEAM'S OR THE QB'S opportunity for the SEASON or the FUTURE ! NOT TO MENTION HIS OWN CREDIBILITY !

DITTO HERE ! STAY ON 'EM PARTNER ! DON'T LOOK LIKE I'LL MAKE IT IN THIS WEEK BUT i'M SURE GONNA TRY FOR NEXT ! YOU SENIORS & ALL YOU CHOCTAWS LURKIN' AROUND ON THES BOARDS PAY ATTENTION TO THIS ONE & STAY FOCUSED ON THE TASK AT HAND ! ONE AT A TIME ! NO ROOM FOR LETTIN ANYBODY SLIP UP ON YOU ! KEEP PN GAININ' GROUND & RESPECT ! GO CHOCTAWS !!!

Yup ! That would be CORECT ! Iknow exactly which "Coach" you're talkin' bout ! Played on the only State Chapionship team from our county to date ! We're still good friends so I'll have to hold off on revealin' any old "secrets" for now ! /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> If you see him, give him my best ! I hope he's recoverin' nicely from his recent surgery!

Bill Battle came to my house & we signed the papers way back in December of 1974. Arrived in K'Town June of 1975.Yep for a fact I played @ UT. Played with the likes of Stanley Morgan & Tommy West (University of Memphis Head Coach).

BETCHA I DO TOO ! HEY MAN WE GOTTA KEEP THE CHOCTAWS FOCUSED ON THE TASK @ HAND !

Well I can't think of a better reason to not see it, BUT ..... you did miss ANOTHER GREAT GAME ! I just hope MAYBE NOW YOU CAN SHOW THE CHOCTAWS "A LITTLE LOVE " instead of BASHIN 'EM all the time ! It's OK to make predictions & even to be wrong ! You just have to do it with a LITTLE CLASS ! Now I'll leave you alone about it & WON'T EVEN CALL YOU LEE CORSO again ! you can't be ALL BAD if you go to Ktown & see the VOLS PUT A WHOOPIN' ON THE DAWGS ! ........ by the way I have run through that "POWER T" ....... MAN WHAT A HOOT !

Well ........ Lee Corso's back in town ! Might be the first intelligent thing I've heard you say ! But ! I'd have to give the edge to Ripley even though my sentimental favorite would be Crockett ! HEY WHAT ABOUT THAT DYER COUNTY & HAYWOOD GAME LAST WEEK ! /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

JTrain, y'all just STAY FOCUSED ! You ARE A SENIOR ! DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY FROM YOURSELF & YOUR TEAMMATES FOR EVERY MINUTE OF PRACTICE & PREPARATION FOR OCCHS ! Y'all are slowly gainig the RESPECT that you want, DO NOT LET OVERCONFIDENCE TAKE AWAY A POTENTIAL GREAT SEASON ! You probably know who this is & I DANG SURE KNOW WHO YOU ARE ! SO YOU & # 33 & the rest of the seniors TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR BALL TEAM ! BE THE LEADERS THAT YOU SHOULD BE ! TAKE NOTE TO THE POSTS FROM THOSE THAT HAVE "BEEN THERE DONE THAT" (NOT JUST MINE) ! THE REBELS WILL BE OUT FOR SOME RESPECT OF THEIR OWN COME THIS FRIDAY ! SO PREPARE JUST LIKE YOU DID FOR HAYWOOD & LIKE YOU WILL FOR RIPLEY & THE TROJANS & LIKE YOU HAD BETTER FOR CROCKETT COUNTY ! DON'T LET EVERY THING THAT YOU GUYS HAVE GAINED FALL BY THE WAYSIDE BY BECOMING OVERCONFIDENT OR COCKY @ THIS POINT IN YOUR SEASON ! Y'ALL GOT A "BULLSEYE" ON YOUR BACKS NOW ! I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WILL BE TAKIN' THE CHOCTAWS LIGHTLY FROM THIS POINT & THEY WILL ALL WANT TO BE THE SPOILER ! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK & GO CHOCTAWS !

Should, by all rights be a "DOGFIGHT" ! I (reluctantly) would have to go with Ripley on this one, but Crockett County is a "Recent Legacy Team" with PRIDE & SALVAGING A SEASON ON THE LINE ! So ..... I would say that an UPSET isn't out of the question !

CHOCTAWS PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE ABOVE POSTS ! ESPECIALLY THE ONE RE : 10 ONE GAME SEASONS ! EVERY WEEK IS A NEW OPPORTUNITY TO BRING BACK THE RESPECT TO THE FOOTBALL PROGRAM THAT HAS BEEN LOST OVER THE PAST FEW SEASONS ! SENIORS THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO RETURN THE "PROGRAM" TO A PLACE OF RESPECT WITHIN THE TOUGH REGION 7- 3A. YOU CONTROL THIS POTENTIAL FOR LEAVING YOUR LEGACY @ DCHS ! FOCUS ..... PREPARE ....... & EXECUTE !OVERLOOK NO ONE ! LAST WEEK'S WIN IS JUST THAT ! LAST WEEK !ONE THING YOU HAD BEST CONSIDER the REBELS WILL BE HUNGRY YOU OFFER THEM AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A) BEING A SPOILER /cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" /> SALVAGING AN OTHERWISE "UN REBEL LIKE YEAR" AND BEATING A RIVAL ! (NOTHIN' SWEETER THAN THAT!) BRAND NEW OPPONENT...... A RIVAL........AN OPPORTUNITY FOR REDEMPTION FOR LAST YEARS LOSS TO OC ........... BRAND NEW SEASON ! GO CHOCTAWS !!! WEAR THAT ORANGE WITH PRIDE !

Choctaws are EARNING respect, but must continue to approach each Friday night with the same respect for their opponent ! No room for a let down with the schedule that DC plays in the later part of the season ! CHOCTAWS MUST PLAY ONE GAME @ A TIME & BRING THE SAME INTENSITY THAT SHOWED UP @ HAYWOOD & AGAINST COVINGTON ! " KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE DC " ! GO CHOCTAWS ! KEEP TAKIN' CONTROL OF YOUR OWN DESTINY ! YOU ARE IN CHARGE THAT DESTINY ! KEEP EARNING THAT RESPECT !

Just another GREAT GAME ! DC played som SERIOUS D ! Also moved the ball well on offense ! JUST DID WHAT IT TOOK TO WIN AGAIN ! BIG DEFENSIVE STAND TO CLOSE THE GAME !!WAY TO GO CHOCTAWS NOW ............ GET FOCUSED ON THEM REBELS ! ONE @ A TIME ! NOW YOU ARE EARNING RESPECT !

DC is not in a "Worry about 'em mindset" ! Rather a " Play 'Em One Game @ A Time" mode. Rest assured, DC AIN'T PREPARING FOR THE TROJANS JUST YET ! Our kids are APPARENTLY DOIN' SOMETHIN' RIGHT TOO ! I support both teams that call Dyer County (as a county not a high school) HOME ........EXCEPT ONE fRIDAY NIGHT A YEAR ! I'm sure RogerDoger ain't lookin' past anybody, just mentionin' what always goes on in Dyer County in the Fall about this time any way ! Ain't it always the "TALK OF THE TOWN?"

Congrats on YET ANOTHER WIN TROJANS ! Havin 2 playoff games in Dyer County on the same night would be a HOOT ! Dyer County as a whole should be PROUD of both these ball teams ! Only one NIGHT A YEAR (as far as football is concerned there are other sports! /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> ) should they focus & have a little smash mouth on beatin' up on each other! I'm PROUD 2 BE FROM DYER COUNTY & PROUD 2 BE A CHOCTAW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RIVALRY IS THE KEY WORD! AND THIS ONE GOES WAAAAAYYY BACK ! I recall many GREAT MEETINGS UNDER THE "FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS" ! Choctaws DO NOT LET THESE FORUMS OR THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO THIS POINT deter your DESIRE, PASSION & FOCUS ! You guys have the makings of a GREAT SEASON ! KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE ! I 've heard from one player that DC IS ON A MISSION ! STAY THE COURSE & DO NOT WAVER !

Yep ! I didn't know they had any MANNERS, BUT ........... It seems like Momma taught 'em NOT TO TALK WITH THEIR MOUTH FULL !!! I'm sure they'll have something UNINTELLIGENT to contribute (BASHIN' THE CHOCTAWS),AS SOON AS THEY GET PAST THIS "MINOR SETBACK" & CROW BUFFET. thefuture02 & youngjoc DON'T WORRY, IT'S "ALL YOU CAN EAT" ! /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

FOCUS, PREPARE & TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR OWN DESTINY ! IF YOU HAVEN'T GAINED RESPECT WITH THIS WIN, THEN THEY ARE SIMPLY "BASHERS" ! BUT ..........NEXT WEEK IS A BRAND NEW WEEK ! HOLD YOURSELVES & YOUR TEAMMATES ACCOUNTBLE FOR 100 % EFFORT IN PRACTICE & "KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE" STAY FOCUSED !I AGREE 100 % WITH dcballas ENJOY THE WIN & WEEKEND & THEN PREPARE FOR THE NEXT CHALLENGE ! CONGRATULATIONS FROM AN OLD CHOCTAW !

IN YOUR DREAMS !!!!! /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

THEM 2 ARE JUST GONNA CALL IT LUCK OR FIND ANOTHER EXCUSE FOR THEIR LACK OF ABILITY TO KEEP UP WITH LEE CORSO ! BUT THEFUTURE2 & YOUNGJOC DON'T CRY OR BE TOO EMBARRASED, JUST DON'T LET YOUR ALLIGATOR MOUTH OVERLOAD YOUR GRASSHOPPER HIND END ! MAYBE YOU OUGHTA GIVE THE CHOCS A LITTLE RESPECT ! THAY HAVE EARNED IT ! (JUST ASK HAYWOOD & HUNTINGTON.I WON'T THROW IN LIBERTY OR CHESTER COUNTY, CAUSE THEY ARE STRUGGLING. ............ HOW'S THAT CROW TASTE ! MIGHT BE A LITTLE ON THE BITTER SIDE, BUT JUST CHEW IT UP & SWALLOW ! /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

WRONG !!!!!!! ANY GIVEN FRIDAY NIGHT ! DC WAS DOMINANT ON "D''. KEPT THE "CATS" PINNED BACK AAAALLLL NIGHT LONG ! CONGRATULATIONS CHOCTAWS ! KICKING GAME KEPT 'EM ON THE WRONG END OF THE FIELD THANKS TO PUNTING BY #33.

WELL ! .......... I KNOW THAT I SAID THAT I WAS NOT RESPONDING OR EVEN GIVING ANY RECOGNITION TO THE "future02" ...... BUT THIS ONE TAKES THE CAKE ! YOU ARE ABSOLULUTELY THE MOST BONE HEADED , KNOW NOTHING, UNINFORMED IDIOT THAT I HAVE EVER HAD THE EXPERIENCE OF HAVING TO SEE ON ANY FORUM / BOARD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE ! ONE THING I HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOU (AND OH , HOW IT HURTS)TAYLOR & CALDWELL ARE DEFINITLY IMPACT PLAYERS WITH LOADS OF TALENT) BUT ........... TO BELITTLE ANDRE BY COMPARING HIM TO DODDS JUST GOES TO SHOW YOUR LACK OF EXPERTISE IN THE REALM OF FOOTBALL KNOWLEDGE ! IF ANDRE HAD NOT BEEN THE BULLSEYE ON 99 % OF THE TOUCHES LAST YEAR & THE YEAR BEFORE THAT & THE YEAR BEFORE THAT, HIS STATS WOULD HAVE BEEN EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE THAN THEY WERE . PLEASE NOTE THAT I SAID WERE! ANDRE IS NOW @ KENT STATE (AS YOU STATED)& IS A FORMER CHOCTAW. AS FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS FORMER CHOCTAW @ kENT, HAVE YOU EVER BEEN A D-1 FRESHMAN AT ANYTHING ? I BEG TO DIFFER AS TO ANDRE'S NOT BEING A "HOMERUN PLAYER" @ DC AS WELL. DID YOU SEE HIM PLAY AT ALL OR ARE YOU JUST POPPIN' OFF AS USUAL? YOU KNOW, FOOTBALL IS A GAME WHERE YOU CAN ALWAYS EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED. YOU MAY (IN THE END) BE RIGHT (OR WRONG) IN YOUR PREDICTION FOR THE DEMISE OF DC TOMORROW NIGHT.......... BUT GUESS WHAT ! NOBODY .... & I MEAN NOBODY WILL KNOW FOR SURE ABOUT THAT UNTIL THE GAME IS OVER (CASE IN POINT NORTHSIDE VS SOUTHSIDE LAST FRIDAY NIGHT)! I'LL GO ONE FURTHER ( I AM MAN ENOUGH TO DO THIS), I WILL POST THAT YOU WERE RIGHT IN YOUR PREDICTION IF THE CHOCTAWS FALL TOMORROW NIGHT. BUT PARTNER IF THEY WIN YOU WILL NOT QUIT HEARIN' FROM ME ON THIS BOARD ! NOW THAT BEING SAID, I HAVE WASTED MORE KEYBOARDING THAN I CARE TO RESPONDING TO SOMEONE OF YOUR CHARACTER. I'LL SAY NO MORE, NOR RESPOND TO ANYTHING THAT YOUR FOOTBALL GENIOUS HAS TO OFFER THE GOOD PEOPLE HERE ON COACH T ! ............... IS THAT THE WIND BLOWIN' AGAIN ?

Outside lookin in here, but if this is his first year, there is a transition period that goes on in MOST programs. Granted Covington has a RICH TRADITION & the current record is not what the fans or the schoolis accustomed to. I do not know anything about the Coach or his credentials, however if Covington hired him, he MUST have had some worthy credentials. Coming from a "Football Family" (Lived with a Head Coach, my Dad for 18 years) there are lots of things that come into play when a coaching change comes about. I would say that possibly adaptation to a new system (possibly I don't know) as well as many other factors come into play here. The season IS NOT OVER ! There may be games ahead that will keep the moving vans out of his front yard. Our team has been bashed on here, but Covington played 48 minutes of football @ our place as well as 3 O/T's & from what I heard on the radio, the guy is certainly not ready for the axe yet ! He made a "gutsy call" goin for 2 in the final O/T but possibly was not a do or die, maybe more of a show of confidence for his kids. How young is the team? Would this have been a rebuilding / reloading year for ANY coach ? All things to be considered before "canning someone who a "Tradition Rich" Program had the confidence to hire in the first place ! Additionally, consider the competition. Region 7-3A IS TOUGH I don't care WHO you are ! I'm sure there are issues that I would be blind to, but the "Powers that BE" had enough faith in the guy to hire him & a Perenial Powerhouse like Covington doesn't just hire someone without doin their homework ! Outside lookin in, but let the season play out before packin his bags. Even then consider a year for transition & system development as well as reloading/ development of player personel. WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR CAN MAKE !
