Living in a material world And I am a material girl You know that we are living in a material world And I am a material girl

hahaha.....very interesting these Mt. Juliet fans...MJGOLDENBEARS - Just for you. I didnt see you post on the thread last year. Let's head down "Bad Memory" lane and enjoy a few comments from last years, "Mt. Juliet vs Blackman thread." From LAST YEAR: Blackman wont put up 400 yards rushing.....and MJ will be in the playoffs .... book it. Curious as to what the talk will be should Mt Juliet win this game. I see MJ keeping this close and making big play at end to win. No way MJ loses another one by 30+.. I bet you the Bears fight hard and put out a better showing then what people think. its 42-0 in the third.....Blackman.... Ok the third string should be by now! 42-0 42-14 Blackman final Wow not what I expected out of MJ at all. I cant even begin to express my disappointment. While i don't think it will be that bad this year, I'll spare myself the effort of doing a very thorough investigation into the two teams, and putting together a very detailed, great prediction with opinion to back it up. I'll say this, Blackman will pull the ones at some point.

Thanks for the clarification. I too, predicted my team to beat yours. We'll see what happens...

This coming from the guy who on the Blackman / Mt Juliet thread insulting our fans: "let's not act ignorant as if Blackman is just playing an average team. Wouldn't expect too many humble Blackman fans anyways, as if you all have a chance against Maryville or even making it out of the semi's" Then I browse here and see you pulling the old "you can't spell" attack on another poster while you do it yourself in the very next post. And finally you try to cover your arrogance by trying to talk like Stars (who you can't hold a candle to btw) while calling me "dude". I'm not the one who should be worried about being perceived as immature.

Out of my way? Nah.....honestly, I didn't even have to go that far.

SPELLING POLICE HERE: 1) becuase - - Should be because - probably just a typo. 2) there - - - - - Should be their - probably should get a spelling book before calling out others.

I remember last year there was a ton of MJ optimism until halftime. Same result this time. Blackman and Mt Juliet are in different planets this year. Blackman 49 MtJuliet 14.

My prediction .......

Who could pick against Blackman in this game?

No doubt Sommers that Tyler would love another shot at senior year.....without a torn ACL.....

Been getting a ton of studs in the room at Blackman on Tuesday nights! Still open to area high school guys on Tuesdays. Blackman's wrestling room is BEHIND Blackman Middle School (across the street from the high school)

Saw that Blackman moved up in the nationalhsfootball rankings... And look what else... :eek: 47 (86) Blackman Murfreesboro (TN) 1-0 def. No. 48 Oakland, 28-21 48 (47) Oakland Murfreesboro (TN) 0-1 lost to No. 47 Blackman, 28-21 49 (48) Maryville Maryville (TN) 1-0 def. Webb, 28-7

AGREED!! I'll throw it out there. My oldest son was a senior last year and after playing against Maryville in the semis, he went straight into wrestling again. He tore his ACL completely and MCL 75% during his second week of wrestling practice (Early December). After the initial heartbreak, he decided that he would not be denied an opportunity for a state medal. Most doctors wont repair a torn ACL until the MCL heals so after seven weeks of healing and rehab on the MCL his doctor allowed him to get fitted for an ACL brace and take a run at state. He went into the practice room only two and a half weeks before the state tournament and only four days before the region tournament. With no ACL and almost no conditioning for two months, this kid battled and spilled his guts and took fourth in the state at 160 pounds. If you know wrestling, you know that they just don't give away state medals. If I had a dollar for every time someone told me how tough my son was or how amazing it was to see him back, or how amazing it was that he was even able to compete, it would be significant. All football players should wrestle. It's a no brainer.

Sorry Gov but this is not simply a matter of opinion. Wrestling is by far the tougher sport. I have boys who do both competitively and I can guarantee you this. Ask any young man who has done both. And I don't mean kids who wrestled once. Ask kids who medaled at state and it will be unanimous. The practices are way more grueling. The discipline required to maintain weight and hydration. My oldest son would lose anywhere between 5 and 9 pounds EVERY practice and He was a starter last year at Blackman at football as well. My middle son is nearly the same. It's just no comparison for those who are serious about wrestling.

So with the forecast calling for 100 degrees on Sunday, what are the possibilities that the head index creates a problem? Anyone think that's a possibility?

I'm not sure if there is a Blount County Edition, but you might check your local library...

Bitter much?

My money is on Kramer. No reason at all to go against him.

Looks like a tough contest for Blackman. First scrimmage seemed to imply that there was a lack of gel. I'm a homer so I'm gonna say that we "out-offense" them!

Tuesday night! Are you going to get better today? Blackman's wrestling room is BEHIND Blackman Middle School (across the street from the high school)

The A/C in the wrestling building has been fixed AND spectator seating has been installed. Come out to Blackman TONIGHT for live matches and get better!! Blackman's wrestling room is BEHIND Blackman Middle School (across the street from the high school)

Almost time to get your game on!
