The way it looks at QB is Cook is the man but out with baseball and Foreman 2nd and out with track and we have White present at 3rd. The backfield all out with track Swafford, Slaughter, Foreman , Barger and I dont see much depth there right now except for one kid at full back, Zack Casey (I think) he looks promising. It's early so we will see how they develope. I personaly would have Foreman at WR and return! He is extremley fast! He beat Devron Young at the track meet and is considered one of the if not the fastest kid in east TN. He has to keep his eye on the ball and not drop it. Fundamental skill he should be able to master.

Ok BM I like you and all but lets be honest here. Your favorite lineman is big and strong but movement it not in his favorable category. We will have a few good lineman this year but experience will hurt us to. Hunter Holt will dominate the O line this year if placed there and DE position, either or. This kid has a mean streak in him with alot of heart and thats a awesome combination to add to strength. Nick Sensabaugh will step up and do a good job as well. We are in good shape at QB and in the back field so it will lay on the O Line and D line. Our linebackers are in good shape to. Looking forward to it!

Your either a POSER or a kid because, you obv. dont know what your talking about when it came to the game between DB and Clinton last season. Also, DB and Clinton respect one anothers athletic program and athletes so, it's odd that you come out of no where on here with such frank and explosive words. If your not a kid, you act like one .

Waco your hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!! Dont blame us for Souths stupid redneck behavior. Have you not figured out that if you kick a bee's nest your gonna get stung. Our Indian / s might have been smaller but with out a doubt we are alot MEANER Who is crying????? We are not the ones that got whipped three times this year, twice in one night .

If by chance "the situation" your talking about is the KFC buckets, if the South Adinistration had it in hand then the buckets would have never made it in the gym and the cops would not have had to take them!!!! You guys got beat twice, you just can't get it done and now you are wanting to cry.....I understand

Are you realy trying to blame our student section??? Classy????? Your student came over to the DB section to start trouble and because he got the crap beat out of him you are calling us classless ???? He came to do just what he did, only it did not go the way he planned!!!! Dont blame our kids for his stupidity. If the South administration had the situation under control how did the tree still end up in the school ? Your argument is real weak in every direction so, I will leave it hear unless you wish to continue. PS. I think the KFC buckets were pretty classless

Yes, I think I would do the same. I can see this happening in the Rebels Gym!!

Art, how do you know he went over to pick a fight? They removed more than one kid. If I were the law, I would also have removed the couple of kids on the DB front row that tried to intimidate the South players by practically entering the court and running at the players in a threatening manner. PS The great DB should NEVER lose to a small county school in ANYTHING. I love how DB gets fired up over beating South. It makes those occasional South wins so much more sweet. What ever!!!!!!!! The South student came over there running his mouth trying to look big....Bad move...Now he may have to have reconstructive surgery. His nose was laying on his jaw!!!!! He should have never done that!!! The DB side was not running on the floor either. Their was two guys going back and forth in front of the student section getting the chants going. The principle and a couple assistant principles were right there. Dont try and make it out to be the DB kids because it was not the case. South students are always doing stuff, just like in the South vs Toppers game. They brought in KFC Chicken buckets and put on their head....hummmm wonder why? The Cops took them. I'm glad how you pretty much surrendered on the win / lose category. Remember this next year before you start. DB and South are the local Rivals, thats why we love beating you guys, plus all the crap you guys talk that we get to feed back to you...LOL South fans are the mother load when it comes to talking trash!!!!!! You guys start every year!!! By the way your students do things to your own school. I have never known DB students to carry in a 40 foot tree and put it in the middle of the school like the south students. YES I said a 40 foot tree in the middle of the school!!!!!!!!!!! The South administration allow so much more than the DB.

I agree with you Batman, Allen at fullback is a strong move. He did a fine job for the Indians last year.

Fanatic one more question, were did I say GC was ruining the players self esteem? I'm not trying to play this like its peewee, they are big boys and will be ok regardless. I just had an opinion that this would help the team and players as individuals. Player/ Coach relationships are very important, but I figured someone would do just what you did and make it a personal issue with GC, it's not.

Fanatic I dont have a problem with the DB football coaches. I think they are good coaches and Good men. I just expressed my opinion, I think if GC would be more personable with his players it would have a positive effect on team. There is really no reason for him to talk to the players in a sarcastic manner all the time. Like I said before, I'm not trying to take anything away from him or his coaching. Now on to the next, Coach Morgan, I don't have any insight on this coach so there for I really don't know. I have heard just like you but I have no personal knowledge of what he says to his players or what he does. I do however watch some of the games and yes I have seen several players miss critical layups but you seem to be trying to lable someone individualy. There again, I'm not sure were you are trying to go or who exactly you are talking about. I more watch basketball at the beginning of the year to get a feel of were they are going to be in the season and who the new talents are. I also like the local rival games. Maybe you think you know who I am, is that it? Just trying to figure your post out and answer you questions.

agree and understood.

This may be true about Clark but I know for a fact who the best coach is going head to head and that is Graham Clark. If I had the choice as to who I'd rather play for Carter or Clark, it would be Clark, hands down. Thats the bottom line. As for the players having the drive to work hard to get better, I think the past two years has been the first time we have ever had this problem at DB. A friend of mine coached several of these players in pee-wee and he warned me it was comming. You could count the number of dedicated seniors on one hand without using your thumb. This senior class was small in numbers, small in size, and small in dedication. Good kids and all but just not cut out to be football players. I totally agree with you Wacko but, my point was not who is the better coach. I agree Clark is the better coach but my example was Stacy and how he constructed his team. He had structure, discipline and rules yet, he treated his player like family and with a little respect. I'm not putting Clarks coaching skill's in to question, I'm just saying that he does not have to be sarcastic and rude in every word spoken to these kids. He needs to give back a little of the respect that he demands. These guys have tough skin and sure they get yelled, cussed and benched when they do something wrong but like i said when deserved. ClarK is like this 24-7 with these kids and it's not good for the team or individualy. He needs to step back and re-evaluate his relationship with his players. This is just my opinion by what I have seen and heard time and time again and by conversation with Several individuals. It does not make them meaner, have tougher skin or a better player, its just creates a false respect for the coach and less eager to perform, when in doubt. You would get real sick and tired of someone doing this this to you daily and would probably kick their butt. They have to sit there and take it just so they can play the game they love,but it still gets real old and pretty much all they can do is try and avoid it as much as possible. Coach Clark needs to remember what kind of place he was in when he was a player at DB and how Fred Walton was there for him and pushed him through as a Coach. Clark would not have made it through with out him.

One reason the drive is not in the kids is because most of the fun and closeness of the program has been taken out of the football program. One thing I will applaude South with is their Head Coach and the relationship he had with his team. This is one thing DB dont have. I guess thats part of the reason he got Coach of the year, cause you can see and feel it from them. I'm not making this statement to take away from GC because I think he is a good person and Coach. I think he needs to make some ajustments. He needs to stepback and re-evaluate his relationship with his players. When players make it a POINT to avoid/stay away from him, thats not good. He needs to establish a good repore with them. He would get more out of them individualy and as a team. You dont have to be sarcastic/rude in every breath to have discipline, rules and structure. Like I said, I'm not bashing GC. I just feel that this is a very important thing thats missing from our program that we need.

Bench 300 plus, I'm really not following? Yes you need upper body strength but your power and explosion comes from you legs and your lower back takes punishment so thats also very important. I dont care if you bench 500 if you get beat off the line your history.

You left out the most versital player on the field. He is a HUGE play maker on both sides of the ball # 5 Sealbolt.

Why don't you Idiots get off of it. Do you actually think you have to come on here to try and fire up Maryville to beat DB. a 5-5 team? How stupid! To start with your example is wrong so that make you the "Mo-Ron" chump. The poster never said that DB would of "beaten" Maryville in the scrimmage. As far as what DB fans have said or have not said about Maryville in past years can easily be debated. One thing is that at least 99% of DB fans have great respect for Maryville and always have. Another thing is that up here in "upper" east tn. we have some real cute "posers" that like to create new screen names and pretend to be DB fans just to stir things up. "Up here" its more popular to pull against DB than pull for your own team. I call them Haters. As for Cap1, if you have half a brain you can read his post on this thread and figure out what he's all about. He's also a former Mo-Ron of the year award winner. Maryville fans go through something simular from what I've read on their threads. Losers always giving them grief over this and that. Upper east tn. will rejoice in DB's defeat friday night but I'll bet Maryville will be a class act like they always have been. Its a bad year for us to have to face Maryville but I think we'll have some very good games in the future. The truth hurts don't it Wac-O!! I guess WildCat is a DB hater too. We are all just jealous of the Indians of DB. Believe me... by the end of this week the smoke screen you guys have been blowing up ever body's back side these first couple of days on this thread will disappear, and that arrogant attitude of entitlement will show through despite what is getting ready to happen to you Friday night. You guys just can't help it. You drawing Maryville for the first game of the playoffs (that you probably wouldn't have made had it still been the old system by the way) is simply KARMA! If I were you I would start playing up the Mighty DB Band... they are the real deal!! Even though they have instruments, they don't have to go around tuttin their own horn to try to get respect. Wow and you say DB fans have no class? Your the Poster child for this phrase!!!! TN High has a great team this year and it's sad that a MORON like you is trying to over shadow their achievments. You have been riding DB's coat tail, why is that??? Your Tn High has done great yet, you have seem to have lost your mind. At one time you had some good accurate post and now its all crap! Get off of what ever it is your on or should I say go get on what ever it is you need. You need HELP and I'm here for you.

Thats exactly right!!! A scrimmage is just that but, we were very proud of our guys in that scrimmage, Maryville is a top notch program, Top in the State. There was no disrespect to the Red Rebels and I'm sure they realize this.

TN High has a very strong balanced "Team". They work seamless together. They are strong all over the field and with out a doubt in my mind the best team in the conference. With this said, I am still gonna stand with in our circle and root for the mighty Rebels!!!! Heart and Turnovers will be the determining factor of this game. I will not count anything out this year. DB should have only been beat 2 times this year yet the ending result is not that way.

If DB wins, surely they can win with class. Act like you have won a game before. If you are as good as you think you are, then why act so suprised? AND, don't get kicked out of the game for sportsmanship when you are winning! THAT is classless, maybe that is deserving of a letter to editor? One week you are on your backs kicking and crying because you lost and the next week you are taking cheap shots. As much of a rivalry as Skunk's boys had, they never got kicked out. If they had, the second kicking would have come from Skunk. Where is the DB pride? Wondering, did the DB coaches come up with the rumor tactic of pig flu? TN High is smarter than that. Win or lose, show some class. Sounds like someone's letter to the editor struck a nerve with DBWatchdog How's the old saying go? Something about if the shoe fits, wear it. At least the author of that letter used his real name. I think Moneychanger would be a truer id for you. Fits with your day job just a bit better. We could go into the specifics of what actually happened with the penalty that you seem to think you know so much about, but that would just be wasted on you. It's far more comfortable for you to stay wrapped in the cloak of bitterness you're still dragging around over the legend YOU THOUGHT your son was supposed to be. You won't have to dig very deep to find out the true story of what happened there, but you can't handle the truth. What's got your goat the most is who started this year and who didn't last year. You're a fine one to talk about anyone else giving their kid a "kicking". Excuses, excuses should be your family motto. Where's the DB pride? It's alive and well, no thanks to you. The bigger question is where is yours? You are a disgrace. By the way IndianNation, as much as it sickens me to say, DBWatchDog is a DB graduate and parent of a player from the class of 2009. WHAT !!!!! Oh Man thats BAD .

You don't know when to Quit. Let's see if you rise to the occassion (TH vs DB thread). Remember when in doubt Charge .

You will get another chance to see him next year and several more years on TV.Chris is a great young man and one heck of an athlete. Batman...you and most other CS advocates need a dose of reality. TV? Get a grip. There are currently no Division I athletes in NET that I have seen. When you go through the recruiting process and follow through to the scholarship celebration it is just that...a celebration. When you show up for camp you see that everyone on the whole team is All State, POY, etc., etc., etc. At that time it becomes just an award. It don't get you far. So far from what I see Ty Garvin, Clint Phillips, CS, KS, even Bradley Tallman are all Division II at best. It's not just being good. You have to have all the right dimensions. With blazing speed being the utmost important factor. Everyone has this Division I rainbow with their sons name at the end of it. Trust me...been there done that. CS is a good RB and fun to watch. But DI? I don't think so. So he has already been offered? I'll believe it when I see it. The best most productive RB in the area is Bradley Tallman currently and he will not go DI. At least not as a RB. He will be made into a LB...and that is at the DII level. He is not tall enough. There are exceptions to the rules but when you see them they control every game they play in. Help or no help. And they don't get hurt every other game. Some of the best educations are at DII schools and even NAIA anyway. These schools are upwards of 30 grand on a regular basis. There is really alot to look at. CS's name will go along way in promoting his stock. At least he has that going for him. The elder Phillips told me a long time ago, "just let them enjoy their high school career and if they get a chance to play college ball and get an education then great. Reduce the pressure and let them enjoy this time in their life." Because so few can withstand the pressure of the job a scholorship brings them...at any level much less DI. So what I'm saying is once you've seen first hand what it takes to compete at that level you come back down to earth and realize that yes, you can "Shoot for the Stars, and if you don't get there you will land pretty high anyway-Knute Rockne'", but you walk away being able to see the forest in spite of the trees. Yes, you have to have a dream, but out of respect for the ones that get there it takes so much more than that. Ok First, I'm gonna have to say that This years Viking team is the strongest I have ever seen them. They looked really good out their Friday night. I wish our guys would have been healthier and it would have been a better fight. I'm not taking away from their win because they played an excellent game. Congrats to each guy on the team. Now I've got to reply to the above post! Comp.... CS has had D1, full ride already offered. This is a fact and I have a personal invite extended to you from his Mom and Dad to come meet with them so they can show you these letters, since you have to see to believe. CS has a whole year of high school ahead of him and they want to see what more will come and decide on the best offer for him then but, you have a personal invite to view what D1 schools have already offer him a full ride. Don't pass this up and if you do, then you need to keep your mouth shut in the future because you have no idea to what you are talking about. You may not think he is D1 material but, several D1 recruiter do. Take it to the table and afterwords say you are wrong and leave it there for the best intrest of this young man. Yes, I know what offers are there but will not say so, please don't ask. CS and Family will make it public when they deem fit!!!!! This is for you Comp and Only You...Remember....When in doubt Charge You have been called out on a public forum, just as you have Called CS and his talent out many times before. So, what will it be??????

Waco, after you left your girl at the nut house and she then went missing, We now know who picked her up and who her new man is .

If DB wins, surely they can win with class. Act like you have won a game before. If you are as good as you think you are, then why act so suprised?

Win or lose, show some class. Just like Cap you need to look at your own post and in the mirror if you want to see classless. We have had several boys really sick, no act A**H***. Why would the Indians rumor this, you idiot? As for the unsportsman like conduct out of our player, Their legs just got caught up and 13 yanked his up to get loose and the ref THOUGHT, he was gonna kick him, watch the film . I won't be suprise if he's playing tomm. Your student section had shirts on them that said "Roop is Poop" .....What, yeah real classy!!!!! SOUNDS LIKE YOUR A SORE LOSER THAT CAN'T LET GO . Remember, we have lots of pride, you people just call it arrogance because it's coming from DB. As for the cheap shots, your Rebels threw them all night long and you know it. They threw punches in the ribs after a tackle and also keep trying to hit the Indians in the privates.....What????? yes, it's true!!!!!! GET OVER IT, YOU COULD NOT GET THE JOB DONE SO QUIT WHINNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With a Screen name like yours, you seem OBSESSED with us .

Yea… I can certainly understand that. I’d be sick too if I had to sit and watch the Viking O on film all week long! Sick… can’t you guys do better than that. The word arrogance/classless should never come out of YOUR MOUTH toward anyone else. We've had around 11 kids thats have been very sick with this Flu stuff. Your a real horses behind .
