And the Bradley crew said after OHS shifted, "You can't shift once you become set."  WTH?
 

 

I have been flipping through all kinds of games on NFHS and I am seeing a bunch of personal fouls.

Maybe because it’s holding? Are you watching the game? Genuinely curious

EVRY BIG PLAY!
That 2nd qtr penalty cost a score from OHS.  Would have been 21-0.  You could see it coming.  Every play, the kid was chirping and in a Bradley face.  Big difference in 21-17 and 17-17

My point is I haven't ripped the coaching since Whitwell. I know it's not possible to make everyone happy with the coaching. Wagg could go undefeated for 5 years and win every game 100-0 and someone wouldn't be happy. IMO the coaching had improved through the season the team and coaching have both improved from game one until the last game. Constant improvement is all you could as for as a fan. I felt like you were attacking me when I have a totally different opinion than others. That's why it matters to the point to ”Say”. You have every right to respond but to the ones that aren't satisfied with the state runner-up which isn't me. 

Was no intent to attack.  I just clicked on a post.  I just won't and never will see where people spend so much time analyzing a high school football game, team, staff, etc.  Not worth $2,000 before taxes and the time away from your family.  Predicable?  How about just execute.?  Throw in a trick or wrinkle and if it don't work, you get ripped.  How about just supporting and going on?  Most of the people who complain have never coached nor played a down.  No intent to attack.  Just can't see the value of HS athletics to the point of calling and wanting people fired or spending the energy to complain.  I focus on kids and school, and development of people, not living through 14-18 year olds.  And I never said you did those things.  Just chatting.

Instead of getting butthurt to go read my post after this one that you seem to be a focus on. I was responding to what some of the Peabody posters where saying when they were just killing TC kids with some of their comments. I'm never going to be a blind follower of any team local or professional. I know the team was limited that was easy to see and that injuries played a major part in that. Still doesn't change the fact how people feel about the play calling all year and if other fans of other teams are critical of the coaches they have every right to have that opinion like you have the right to say that they are living in a fantasy world. Don't become an Internet gangster at the same time. Like I said Peabody was the better team if you didn't get your feelings hurt and kept reading the post then you would have seen this. Keep this same energy and I don't want your job so I don't need the volunteer forms to coach. You're trying to attack me for being critical of the coaching staff that's fine. Maybe you should stop reading my post if you get in your feelings that much from what I said then I hope you never hear what other fans of TC are saying. 

Butthurt?  Never said I was butthurt.  Just jumping in the game.  Focusing on a specific post?  I just clicked on one.  Not attacking.  Just offering the opportunity.  If you have the right to rip or say whatever, then shouldn't others have the right to respond or say what they want?  Others saying?  Name one that has ever made "The Others" happy.  They complained about a guy with near 250 wins and 5 state titles.  Why does it matter to that point to "Say"?

You didn't hear about #8 because the injury happened in the first half of the game. When it comes to #5 he is the key to a lot of formations that TC runs he couldn't throw the ball or run the ball because of his injury. #8 was hurt while making a tackle on defense Did you not notice he didn't play on defense in the second half or that in 4th he was playing WR and not QB on the last drive. He ran out of bounce whenever he did run to avoid contact for the most part. The kid's shoulder was separated on his throwing arm what else do you want from these two kids they played to best of their abilities with their injuries. I'm sure any QB at any level would have problems throwing the ball with a separated shoulder or dislocated elbow 

8 couldn't get his shoulder pads on at halftime.  Had to have help and in a gingerly way.  Got to point he couldn't throw or take hits.  In lots of pain.   His first pass of warmups Thursday was first throw since Meigs game.  Didn't know this was NFL and had to disclose all injuries to the injury report.
5 dislocated elbow with ligament damage
76 grade three ankle sprain - only went through team walk through during week.  Cast-taped before game  Could not walk by end of game.

ALL THREE OF THESE INJURIES WERE FROM THE MEIGS GAME!!  
10 blows out his knee in first half - Killed some personnel and formations
Surgery today - Prayers would be appreciated.  

 

Predictable??  darn right.  We had only two formations and not much you could do.  About six plays deep in 4th quarter.  Easy to sit and give lip service without serving in duty.  Volunteer forms can be found through school system.  Here is an example of what one looks like if you need to see what one looks like.

PHS did what they had to.  Congrats to them.  Has anyone ever thought that the other team did what they had to do and won instead of "My team won, Great Players.  My team lost, Terrible Coaching."  "My team didn't do this or should have done this/that."    A lot of you need to get out of the fantasy world and jump in.  Come on in boys, the water is always warm!

By the way, there was a home playoff game in 2014  
Went 10 years without a playoff game period:  Before your time: '78-'88  (Playoff in '78 then finally getting back in '88).  

OH AND TCHS WON THE REGION TITLE IN 2014.  Went 2 seasons without a region title!!!!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

So then why don't you put that more on the players if you knew they felt that way instead of on the coaches, the offense "they should be in", who should be playing where, etc. etc. that you have stated. Then why did they play?  It is an extra curricular activity of choice.  I am self-choosing to play football but I don't want to play in the playoffs or even make the playoffs???
Help me and this thread understand that kind of thinking. 

  You just stated that the stands were full the past 3 years............BUT didn't you say yesterday (or day before) that the attendance has declined since 2005?  Maybe that was someone else.  You are in a fantasy world.  #8 changing positions?  And if he does, he will quit?  Funny.  Where do you get your "insider" info?  Maybe your connections within the program are not connecting you very well.  Trust me, there is a ton of garbage info out there and this is a ton of it.  Just support.  Stop analyzing a high school football team.  Just support.  Tell those kids you are connected with that the bus is leaving.  It will roll no matter what and no matter who is driving it, but they need to decide to either get on it or stay off of it, and if they getting on the bus, they riding with a common purpose.

The tickets have been $8 for few years but when you go from 2013 to now without a home playoff game or with out a region title the kids in high school all they know is here and now so in their eyes TC tradition doesn’t matter all they know is that TC goes on the road and lose in round 1 of playoffs and with stundents the student section was full past 3 years they stop coming this year  their is more junior high kids then high school the and of course they don’t care the players didn’t care either some of them didn’t even want to make the playoffs and wish they lost in first round and I’m sure the stundents knew this also why should anyone else care when some of the players don’t care that’s the major problem and your right they have no pride in their school

Easy way to fix the attendees is just WIN that will bring the ppl out tc has to show the town that they are a true contender for a gold ball which I think they are for next few years the crowd will be back 

And that is a gross way to look at it!  Show they are a true contender...... Please!!!!!!  I'll be danged if a group of high school kids will be held ransom for "contender" status.  This isn't major college football where crowd size determines something.  

High School Football (HS Athletics as a whole) is a lesson of life and building humans.  It is a fantasy world.  HS athletics is a form of entertainment for communities and student bodies.  They are a means to show pride, love, and character of a school unit/family.  

The dang sooner you people get that through your heads, the better off the world will be.  If losing a HS football game or winning a HS football title is what determines your sanity or what kind of holiday season you have, then there is a problem.  

"Show they are a true contender......"  OR what?  We lose people coming to games?  They ain't coming anyway.  Lose you and...................what?  The whole HS mentality is totally out of whack.  This is fun (forums and websites and polls and radio shows).  This is about developing kids and using the game (sport(s)) to do so.  It is a small window of time for these young athletes.....a very fragile time as well.  The experiences during these times can change lives, both positively and negatively.  We just have to be sure we do everything we can to keep it on the + side.

Yeah, we push and get emotional and do everything we can to win.  That is why we play the game, but the journey and the process is far more valuable than any outcome.  

Crowds are down everywhere.  Oakland, Maryville, Marion, Trousdale, etc. etc. The list goes on and on.  
Community support is down everywhere.  HS ticket prices are up.  TSSAA is a JOKE for charging $8.00 for a first and second round ticket.  And they are going up for the last few rounds too.  

$12-14 for a State Title game ticket.  Look at state title game tickets.  I know a lady who paid $70 for her, her husband, and kids to come support their school team Friday night (A son on the team).  This is not counting concession snacks.  $100 for a HS football game????  

Live Radio/Internet hurts too.  Just the average Joe can sit at home and listen.  The outside atmosphere isn't intriguing.  Netflix and don't have to look for a parking spot.  

Students don't come out at small schools.  No pride No care in their classmates and school teams.  Too many other things to do.  Ticket prices hurt them too.  Plus, while at the game most will only stare at Facebook or Instagram or SnapChat.  Bigger schools have better student sections simply because of math.........more population = better percentage of getting kids involved.
