Just wanted to give a big shout out to zach vann and his family. Zach is a very hard worker and will over come this set back in his career. To zach i have truely enjoyed watching you play high school football and i know you will never play high school ball again but you are one of my all time greats pound for pound. For those who dont know his situation zach was the biggest play maker a yr ago for knox catholic and he paved the way for the irish through 10 games as they won all 10. Then the first playoff game last yr he tore his left acl and then worked his butt off to be 100% only 4 months after surgery. the week before the morristown west game last week he was running a 4.48 forty he then got offered by the air force academy last week and then friday he started off the game great and then he tore his right acl and lcl. from everyone in the irish family zach we love you and you will be one heck of an athlete at the college level. keep your head up and as coach pemberton said "THIS SEASON IS FOR ZACH VANN" WE LOVE YOU ZACH

ha first of all i have not really wanted to watch this yr except when they were on tv...i just watched the game film on cobb vs cak...ichange my mind tottally he is a great athlete and is going to have a bright future and wish him the best and i think he might not play qb at an sec school maybe vandy but i wish he would go to west virginia bc that offense would be great for him...i would love to see ut turn their game around and put someone like him at qb bc they need some more explosiveness on offense...as far as joey vs randall haha look at how many D1 players he had...get real joey will never ever play on the level cobb will...once again sorry for my ignorance

i was wrong about that he did run that in the pros, but still you can not compare the two...and i have nothing against alcoa other than they do not play anyone but maryville...put them in 3a and throw scott county in region 1 and then see how they fair...by the way where is sommers going to end up i have a family member who knows him but they say even brian doesnt know what he is going to do...is he thinking prep school or juco?

brent schaffer is pretty fast... and cobb is not on the same athleticism level as schaffer and that is a fact

ha please tell me what i have to prove to you...i am just stating facts that i know and what statement are you referring to about vick? and if you noticed i worked out with wilson...that would make me a little older wouldnt you think or do you not pick up on things like that...i am just voicing my opinion on cobb and yes i do know cobb...do i know him well of course not...i have only been around him once but i got a very good feeling about him...and just because you are fast does not mean some sec team is looking at you...and i didnt go to an sec school and i have graduated and moved on in life...but i do keep up with these things in this area because this is where i grew up...as for cobb i hope he does great but i do not think he is able to play at ut...but with hard work and the right attitude he can do it...but not in the next two yrs

if you know anything about football a true and i say true 4.5 is fast...go work out with charlie petrone and see what cobb runs...i know from experience...gibril wilson ran a 4.63 the same day i ran a 4.65 with petrone...i go to the same combine wilson goes to and he runs a 4.54 and i ran a 4.59 and that is laser timed speed and it doesnt get more accurate than that....cobb may have speed but i promise you he does not compare to micheal vick in any way or fashion vick ran a 4.19 forty time????? that is faster than any quarterback in the history of football...he might be left handed and fast and elusive but to be compared to vick you have got to be kidding me...that has got to be the worste comparison i have ever heard...i like cobb and he is a heck of a kid but to say he is going to be great at ut no i dont think so but this is my opinion...a lot of people thought chris donaldson was going to start right away as a freshman this yr and be great...well from my understanding kevin simon says he is garbage and wont see any action for a while...cobb has what it takes to play at the 1aa level and maybe at a less competitive d1 school not in the SEC....and as for a forty time anyone can be fast on a hand timed forty...and on the track but you watch the nfl combine and tell me how many players actually run under a 4.4 even a 4.5...i promise you not very many and if you think rivals is correct think again...i went to athens at the nike combine and i ran a 4.42 and the best time was a 4.34 and they were hand timed...gladly i knew better than to think i was that fast but if devon hester can barely run under a 4.4 in the nfl combine then something is a little screwed up...ps reggie bush ran a 4.37 at the nfl combine and we all know how fast he is

if he was so good why wouldnt someone like the ole ball coach go after him?? he likes athletes...he was after brian sommers he must have not thought the qb throwing to him wasnt very good or he wouldve offered him a scholarship...by the way an 11.1 is decent speed maybe good speed for a qb but i promise you that an 11.1 will not impress any college coaches looking for speed in an athlete there are plenty others out there that run faster than that...bottom line one he will not sign with ut they are just trying to get some commits because a 2-9 team is kicking everyones butts in recruiting right now and not to mention miami is right in the mix with georiga tenn will have a horrrible class this yr but their recruits from last yr will help them be very good in the upcoming yrs

my reasoning for cobb is he isnt close to as good as the other athletes UT recruits...cobb would be great at a appy state or at a west virginia....at UT are you serious?? some other 6'6 QB would take precident over him and a 4.3 forty wr would be better than him and a 6'2 wr would be more ideal than him and then at DB he might survive but he isnt what ut likes at safety...exception heffney is 5'10 but he has GREAT speed...to me he is not and maybe could be a good player but not at ut...at the high school level and considering who they play...he is a great player but put him in a tough class and faster players tough game after tough game...sorry he wouldnt have the stats but he would be better off for college

like rogan? whats that supposed to mean??? if you watched the game saturday you should have noticed rogan won the ballgame for ut in a sense...now rogan really shouldnt be playing right now and he was only a three star athlete coming out of high school...rogan is lucky to get on the field and he has done a heck of a job when he has gotten the oppurtunity, why wouldnt you want to end up like rogan getting moderate playing time at your best position...rogan was asked at the beginning of the yr what position he wanted to play and he said DB cause he knew he had the best chance of playing if he went that route...cobb couldnt make it at ut he isnt athletic enough to play WR and isnt fast enough to play safety so he might get shoved in at TE or LB but he would have to work on getting stronger

that was said very well, you look at a catholic team and all the great seniors they have...atleast 5 to 10 players will recieve football scholarships including three of them who will go Division one....but among all of these seniors the two biggest injuries were to zak tait and zach vann...with those two out definently hurt the irish more than any ref could or any weather condition could....something to think about though...im glad cozart got to play because he is going to be one heck of a football player...one last note this wasnt the best TEAM in knoxville history...the best team would be still in the hunt come turkey day....

fourth straight actually,notre dame beat them in 04 season 35 34 in ot after catholic beat them 42 7 in the regular season

clean ACL tear no miniscus and no bone bruise should have a fast recovery and he will work hard to come back better than ever...surgery three weeks away good luck zach we love you

this could not have happened to a better kid...he is a great kid and does not deserve this...our prayers are with his family and i know that they are not taking this very well...surprisingly his brother seemed more upset than he did...zach will recover and will come back better than ever he is a hard worker and i wish him the best of luck!!

now now now...lets not get ahead of ourselves...vann did not do anything in the games against AE AC nor fulton...if i remember right ryan walden and phfleger killed all of those teams but vann did have a presence that keep the defenses honest....now all this means is you all get to see cozart #22 yes he is the real deal best runner catholic has just doesnt have any vision but im sure coach is working on that right now

if you all think there is no chance for ac think again they are a very tough football team they just need to learn how to play the pass...the winner of this game might not be seeing catholic they are hurting and may get beat but not in an upset against ae because of the players playing now....both running back might not be playing along with a saftey...zach vann definently wont play torn acl out for the year is what i hear...good luck to both teams and if its close ac wins if its a blow out its cause ac didnt show up
