Wow...those were the days...

Wow. I don't remember the last time I was called a juggernaut, but whatever...

Hey guys, I'm still here, I promise. It's just that the inane babble of nader64 and blu has gotten a bit boring. I'm pretty sure that the MUS quarterback in the 2001 game suffered a concussion and broke his foot after that hit. He stayed in the game for a little while after it, but definately did not finish the game. That hit from Kep still ranks among the most vicious I've seen. Good luck to the Blue Tornado this week!

Just a thought, how could anybody put Tyner ahead of McCallie when McCallie beat them head to head?

well crap, does anybody have a rundown of the game?

hate to say it, but I told you so...anybody have stats? and was the score 30-7 or 30-17? I've seen two different scores...

I don't think that the folks in Knoxville have taken a good look around the state the past couple years. Anyone who says that Central will run over McCallie is fooling themselves. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see a big McCallie win out of this game. Having seen McCallie play the past two weeks, I'll conservatively say McCallie by 10. Kudos to Central for scheduling the toughest teams that they can though...

Thanks Wes, anybody who was at the game want to add anything to the Chattanoogan's coverage?

Great to hear about a big win for the Big Blue....anybody have stats or other details?

The spring before the 2001 season, McCallie was completely humiliated by a sub-par East Ridge team. Everybody who follows McCallie football knows what happened during the 2001 season (12-0, state champs). Spring is never really an indicator of an upcoming season at McCallie. Admittedly, I don't know a whole lot about McCallie's outlook for the upcoming season, but I can tell you a few observations since I played with some of these guys a few years ago. Coach Potter and the rest of his staff always have the boys ready to play. Ryan Moore has plenty of talent at QB, and when he's at the top of his game, he can easily be one of the better QB's in the state. Chris Johnson is your classic big, strong, high school running back. I'm not too sure who their recievers will be this season, I'd guess that Ryan Murphy will be in the mix there, and he's very solid athlete who'll also be one of their best DB's. The O-Line for the upcoming season reminds me a lot of the line that I played on during the 2001 season. They aren't always the biggest, but they're strong and tough. I swear, a couple of those guys got freakin' huge since their sophomore season though. Defensively, they graduated several key contributors, but they're still strong. The d-line will be there with several of the offensive linemen playing both ways, the linebackers always seem to be alright, ever since I've been around McCallie, they've seemed to have solid linebackers, and I'm sure there are several in this year's crop. I'm not really sure about the DB's, I know Murphy will play and do well, but other than that, I'm not too sure who all is going to be back there. Anyway, I went on far longer with this than I intended to. I guess the long and the short of it is, The Blue Tornadoes are usually an underdog, but everybody around McCallie likes it that way. Preseason rankings really don't mean too much, the games are played on the field, not on paper (or on an internet message board for that matter). I just want to wish all of my boys at my alma mater good luck with their upcoming season.

true....if you don't count McCallie and Baylor

When are these games and when is the championship? I'd love to see a McCallie-ND championship game. It would definately be intense, but I think it's probably more likely for McCallie to get by Lausanne then ND get by BA...

trust me, the best team in D2 won't come from single A or double A. THe best team in Division 2 will be either Brentwood Academy, McCallie, or MBA

because White was at East Ridge and Riggs was at Red Bank...

It's now official...Carl Stewart signed with Auburn today. Great choice Carl, welcome to Auburn! War Eagle!
