easy Francis......I agree with everyone else that the video's only show the tail end of the confrontation. I do know the facts tho.

btw, good luck to both teams tonight! Hopefully all will get there and home safely.

i think the issue here is what it says to the rest of the state. He and his assistant did f bomb and bump the ref's. He was rightfully tossed from the game with .02 left. (even tho they decided to run that off, given the situation) rather than take responsibility for his actions (and possibly give that lesson for his team/school) he got the big bad lawyers to threaten an organization that doesn't have the financial backing to fight it. So they just gave in. It just comes across as arrogant in a way that " I can do whatever I want and you can't do anything about it because I've got the money and the power" BTW, If I were an official, I would refuse to ref any of his games in the future. but that's why the "haters" are showing up

so the official just decided to "go mental" and throw the coach out as he was being invited over for thanksgiving dinner? No provocation whatsoever?

the officials confirmed that he used profanity, as did his assistant. the fox video did not have the entire altercation, just the tail end of it. either way, the game was over and the coaches' should have been getting their players off the field rather than bumping and f bombing the ref's. jmo

Looks like MUS will play OB and SP next year. Lafayette not on the schedule but an interesting DII AA game will be the opener with Ensworth. Not sure where that game is to be played tho.

Heard MUS has renewed a 2 yr home and home with S. Panola. Must still be afraid of those scary breezes, going to play it safe with the #1 team in the nation.

Trying to understand. The teams can't afford to travel 2 1/2 to 3 hours to play the Nashville teams or Brynes. Or 5 hours or so to play the Memphis teams but can pay said teams $3,500.00 to play them?

I would suggest that Alcoa and Maryville schedule Byrnes next year. I'm sure they are looking for a game or two and it would be a program that would provide respect to their scheduling that they so desperately crave. It is the same distance that Olive Branch and BA travel. If Olive Branch can do it, so could these more successful programs. It would equal to the statewide interest as the SP/MUS games of the past 2 years.

Briarcrest wins game 2. Not sure of the score, not there, but BCS wins and eliminates MBA and advances to state. Briarcrest wins game 2, 9-2. MUS wins 13-3 and 13-7 over PJP II.

CBHS and EHS are playing each other in sub state. One will not advance. However, I will go with: CBHS, MUS, BA, MBA If so, would be good rivalry games in first games of the semi finals with CBHS playing MUS and BA playing MBA.

PJP and SBA games were postponed till Sat. and they got 3 innings in before being rain cancelled. Score of 1st game was 0-0. Games are supposed to be resumed on Mon.

It's a big secret. Only thing is, everyone in the country knows except you. Hmmmm...

Did he say how to get the free video stream?

Interesting... Personally, I think that MUS is only 1/2 notch better (how's that for splitting hairs, huh ). Last year's receivers were more more sure-handed, and taller. This year's bunch is not as consistent or reliable, with the lone exception being Hank Hill.... Man, that kid's a 'baller! That kid puts me in mind of New England Patriots' Ace, Wes Welker....seriously! ------------------------------------------------- -- What other top teams did MUS scrimmage, THIS year? -- What were the scores? They scrimmaged Whitehaven with the 20 play then swap it out version and had 4 scores to one. However the quarterback and linebacker for Whitehaven did not play. However, McBride only played the first score. They scrimmaged Ridgeway in a more traditional scrimmage and had over 50 points to 0. Don't think McBride played in much of that scrimmage. However, they have not had McBride for the first 5 games and now have them. He may be that other 1/2 notch, TraderB.

Blackhaven: On item no. 2 ... You can comment on Arlington/Bolton game if you wish. You can get on this site and view their schedule and view the schedule of their opponents. You can make an educated guess from there. I mean ... that's what I've done because I haven't seen them play either. I have read articles from the CA and stuff like that ... but you can do a little research and give an educated guess. It's not that hard to do. Thanks for your participation. 'Repect da Haven!' Greetings from the Haven I'm goin out on a limb!!! I'm calling 4 the upset WSHS defeats MUS 32-27!!! I got'cha kwc, I'll pick Arlington off of GP I'll stay with the other picks I had from earlier in the week... As far as WSHS vs. MUS, I just think Julian Burton is gonna pull out a Tyrone Protho type of game tonight!!! If "Red" Hayes can manage 1 or less Turnovers I believe MUS may receive their first L of the Season... Whitehaven will thrash Central tonight BTW... Just throwing that out there LOL! Respect Da Haven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Haven, Just curious, if the most anyone hung on MUS was 22 last year and the most 19 so far this year, why do you think WS will hang 32 on them? Do you think they (WS) are more powerful than USP and OB? Or has MUS's defense suddenly lost all effectiveness?

TraderB, and all, remember if you don't get to the MUS-Millington game on Fri. night, you can come out on Sat. night and see Melrose-CBHS. That game being played @7:30 @ MUS. Proceeds benefit Bridges. Good high school football all weekend long. BTW, Whitehaven did scrimmage MUS with MUS scoring 4 TD's to 1 with the first teams. It was the 10 play controlled version and Whitehaven did not play Flenoral or the linebacker, Bohannon (sp?) Whitehaven looks to have a very solid club.

Correct.......and they will not play that game if the HI is 104 or higher.

First day of practice is one week from this Mon. (July 27th) Also playing into the mix is a new heat index policy. Games/practices/scrimmages cannot be held if heat index is 104 or higher. Scrimmages will probably be scheduled later in the day than in the past. Could prove complicated for practices during hot weeks. Imagine teams will schedule evening practices instead of after school during weeks where higher heat index is expected.

Remember TSSAA doubles the school population for ranking purposes. CBHS has 220 or so per grade and MUS has 115 or so per grade. Both are all boys. (unlike ECS)

Looks like one of the projected stars has made his choice for where he plays on Saturdays next year. Seems early to commit but probably good fit. Best of Luck, Barry http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2009/...-west-virginia/

Any update on these seeding games?

SBA wins 7-4 over the Brothers. Seeding out of the West is #1 SBA, #2 CBHS, #3 MUS.
