How do you know Nunley would not have fumbled the game away? He is a good player but you do not know what kind of game he would have had. Maybe if Tullahoma's injured would have been healthy they would have blown out the Rebels? FC had the whole game to show they had a better team and could not get the job done. Time to get ready for that power house on the schedule next week. Tullahoma made adjustments at the half and FC could not counter is what I heard from coaches scouting the game.

Eventhough Riverdale is a very good football team, they will need their 'A' game to have a chance againt Maryville. From what I am told, ( from reliable sources ) Maryville is a very solid football team. Two good teams, Maryville wins by 14.

Wildcatdude....I'm sure the coaching staff could use an expert offensive mind like yours. Contact the head coach and see if he will make you a member of his staff. If you do not want to take a pay cut, be a volunteer. Or, if the play calling bothers you too much, become a Rebeldude or Raiderdude or Eagledude. Tullahoma has a solid, consistant program that most schools in the area would love to have even if they don't win a championship every year.

Who would believe the reasoning that was given on the radio show? ( CC maybe ). I would think CC had more players that could have been put in the game. I would say it was to hold the score down. I will give the coach credit, this is a new tactic and I have never heard of this before, but unfortunately, this is the wrong signal for the players and program. You cannot rationalize this decision.

Pullin for the Stars but think MJ will win this one. MJ by 14.

So 85% of Tullahoma's wins since '93 were against teams with less than .500 winning percentage? I doubt this is true. I do think it is to Tullahoma's disadvantage that the quality of good teams is lacking in that part of the mid-state. Lincoln Co is down, Franklin Co has not been very good for a long time. Coffee Co and Warren Co...well......These teams are scheduled for revenue and past history. They will not help you get prepared for the playoffs. Centennial is a good team that was made better by the competition from their district and schedule. Normally, I don't think Centennial is 24 points better than Tullahoma but they were Friday night, which is all that counts. Community schools like Tullahoma, Shelbyville, etc and mid-state county schools will have a difficult time competing with Rutherford and Williamson Co. teams on a consistant basis.

Tullahoma has a good coach, nice facilities, great support and a competitive program. This makes the 'have nots' jelious and envious. Even if they can't call plays!!!!!!!!!

If you sleep with dogs, you are going to get fleas.

Columbia would not finish last in the "wilco" league now. I would think it would be a good match up w/ Franklin for the championship. In regards to the Baylor game, I give Columbia a small chance to win this game. Baylor wins........

The comments about the Morton kid was in poor taste.

The sewer system of Tennessee ( Memphis ) will not address this behavior, it's not politically correct. It's their culture and goes along with everything else in that city. BTW, the T$$AA will not do anything either.

I think they will be challenged in their new classification. I did find the decision to play up to 4A.....interesting. Do they think the road to the Championship will be easier than 3A?

Of course they think 4A will be easier.

As wrong as it might be it is still the system we have in place. It seems fitting that to advance past the '8-AAA' playoff quadrant you have to go through Columbia, the defending champ.

 

The fields are the same dimension in both places. Both have concession stands and rest rooms and cheerleaders and such. This game will not be won or lost because of location, but yet because of which team plays the best.

 

Let there be no excuses, only maximum effort. All possibilities are open

Are you in politics? You can't decide which side of the fence to stand on.

The reason this system is in place is because of all the complaints about the old system. People wanted change and they got it. The T$$AA will not go back to 5 classifications, it's all about money. I agree with someone on here that 6A and 5A should not be in the same district. The districts should be made up of teams in the same classification and if a 5A wants to schedule a 6A in regular season for gate revenue, it's their choice but it should not be a district game. The playoff system as is will need to changed though. If not, as stated earlier, some teams will have a hard time scheduling teams to play.

Riverdale is a dangerous team for anyone to play. They may not be the favorite, but they can beat anyone still in the playoffs. RD is my pick this Friday to win over OR and move on to the next round.

Go ask Mathis to explain the playoff system, he's on the T$$AA board

Two good teams.....Columbia wins and moves on to the semis

Blaze win in a close contest

Not sure how my ( unbiased ) prediction was mistaken as coming from a CC supporter or Tull hater? If anything,my prediction would be pointed to as being pro-LC. BTW...I have friends associated with both schools. I will be in the boro tonight watching football but if it makes you feel any better I will pull for Tull to win but just don't think they will. It's only a football game prediction and nothing more.

LC wins by 6 pts or less. Turnovers will be the key and LC is less likely to have turnovers.

If Davis has an off night, the score could be worse.

Columbia lost two district games ( Tull and Franklin Co. ) and Tull had one district loss ( Shelbyville ). The other two losses were to Blackman and Siegel in Rutherford Co.

All valid points in this post. The Rutherford Co and Williamson Co match ups in the first round should not be happening. Why don't the T$$AA go ahead and have every team in the state be part of the playoffs and get it over with?

Maybe we should form a tea party?

So don't play schools in your classification...or pick up the Cookeville Region on your schedule.

Wouldn't cry too much for Seagal. Word has gotten around about the help the received in the 4th qtr in game 9. Ruthgerford Co. is the toughest region in the state, if you want all your teams in the playoffs, politic the T$$AA to split to another region.

teams with 3-7 records don't deserve to go the playoffs

Totally agree. I would be embarrassed if the program I followed went to the playoffs at 3-7.

It's all about money. T$$AA

I don't think Tull matches up well with LC but I believe Tull will find a way to win.

Would prefer an Oakland victory but cannot shake the gut feeling that Smyrna will find a way to win this one.
