Yes i agree. I am completely shocked by this. I am happy for CBHS though. I hope this ends up like the 2005 state championship game.. MUS vs. CBHS in the finals.

My prediction: MUS 31 McCallie 7 MUS's defense and special teams are state championship caliber, however there offense.. not so much. I still feel they should pull this one off fairly easily. I could be wrong though. I hope Im not!

As much as i would love to see a memphis team win, i dont think CBHS is anywhere near the same level as BA. BA should win this one by 3+ TD's.

I am against bad-mouthing too and i dont think it is appropriate to come on these boards to rub in a loss to another person. However, dou, you always seem to be taking shots at MUS. I think you need to take a step back and look in the mirror before you start talking about "great character."

I dont think MUS has ever had the size or speed advantage on any of the teams theyve played, or not very often atleast. I dont think that will be a factor at all. MUS has a lot better coaching and i'd imagine that's whats going to win them the game. I havent seen East play this year, but the last couple of years I have seen them play and they hurt themselves too much with penalties and not being well-disciplined. MUS will have the "bend but dont break" type of defensive game when they play East. Im sure Kimbrow will put up some good stats, but I dont think that will win them the game. I predict the score to be 31-14 MUS.

They are doing better now. The Ensworth game they were a little weak against the run, but then again they turned the ball over 5 times on their side of the field ( 4 int's and 1 fumble i think). I think this game against OB will be a good indicator of how much they have improved since the Ensworth and SP games.

MUS lost 19-7. The defense made the adjustments after half, but the offense didn't produce much. MUS is 1-2 with losses to Ensowrth and SP. I think MUS is better off now though because of those two losses. MUS is young and I think they learned a lot in those two losses. If MUS stays healthy I think they can win the rest of their games and make it to the championship game.

KWC, MUS lost to Ensowrth(defending DIIAA state champs), not MBA. I agree with all of your picks except the HHS and CHS game. I think Houston will pull off the victory.

I believe MUS has what it takes to beat them, but if the QB plays like he did against Ensworth they will loose by a lot. MUS needs to watch the Hoover/South Panola film and watch how the Hoover QB picked the SP defense apart. The MUS D-fense needs to stack the box, because from what I saw of SP last week, the QB can't throw the ball at all. I'm an MUS homer, so I predict an MUS victory. 24-21

ensowrth is dominating mus. ive never seen an mus team execute so poorly. i dont even think mus has gotten a first down yet. Ensworth looks very good. 21-0 in the first quarter ensworth

kwc, ive been wondering when you were going to post your thread. I can tell you put a lot of work into it though. Im excited to see the season kick off tonight. Here are my picks... Ridgeway over Whitestation MUS over Ensworth ( MUS looks very good this year. Possibly a state title contender) CBHS over Wooddale East over Southwind Trezevant over Melrose

Im really looking forward to this game. I saw the MUS scrimmage vs Ridgeway and they looked very good. I havent seen Ensworth play. But this MUS team looks like a state championship caliber team. Im hoping MUS will pull off a victory.

Doesn't Ensworth open @ MUS this year? Will that be the 19th? That will be an exciting game.

Yea, I was wondering what were their reasons for having them just at #7. But I definitely think that all of these teams listed should be in the top 10.

Congratulations to Beathard. I just read the article about him on the Ole Miss rivals webpage. It looks like Ole Miss will have a lot of talented QB's for the next couple of seasons. Which, as of late, is unusual for them.

Here is MUS's official schedule I got off there website. Friday, August 19, 2011 Ensworth (Site TBA) Friday, August 26, 2011 Kingsbury Friday, September 02, 2011 @South Panola Friday, September 09, 2011 Central Friday, September 16, 2011 @Olive Branch Friday, September 23, 2011 East Friday, September 30, 2011 CBHS Friday, October 07, 2011 OPEN Friday, October 14, 2011 @SBA Friday, October 21, 2011 White Station Friday, October 28, 2011 @BCS ..Im really looking forward to seeing the matchup against Ensworth. Should be a great game.

From what I hear MUS is going to reschedule SP and Olive Branch. Both of those teams are supposed to be stacked next year. I dont think they are going to renew their deal with White Station. Supposedly, they might get another big OOS opponent. Any word on some other possible big games next year in DII?

Im sure you think MUS is too scared to play you. I guess thats why they got another home and away series with South Panola. South Panola is obviously a much inferior opponent. MUS should really step up their scheduling and make it more difficult.

Baylor definitely has the easiest path to the State Championship game.

It looks like MUS's first game will most likely be against BA as long as BA can win there game against the # 8 seed.

Final Score: 45 - 14 MUS.
