As long as we don't have to go to Sparta to play the second half, I think Tullahoma should win.

Heh, I remember that. It was awesome.

Well, not for you guys. But still.

Lots of common opponents for these two:

COOKEVILLE

White County - Lost 6-32

Tullahoma - Won 40-20

COFFEE COUNTY

White County - Won 16-6

Tullahoma - Won 43-39

WARREN COUNTY

White County - Lost 48-49

Tullahoma - Won 62-14

SHELBYVILLE

White County - Lost 7-41

Tullahoma - Lost 29-39

FRANKLIN COUNTY

White County - Lost 14-52

Tullahoma - Won 35-21

This insane insistence on public prayer when nobody is trying to prohibit private prayer is all about showing how righteous and Christian those doing the praying are. Otherwise, private prayer would be perfectly acceptable.

And, in case you are unfamiliar with your Bible, praying for the purpose of making others think how pious you are is a sin. Not that it isn't a forgivable sin, mind you. But let's stop pretending that this is about God.

They're just upholding the Constitution. The Supreme Court ruled this about ten years ago, there was a huge fuss about it then, surprised so few in this thread remember that.

Anyway, I hadn't heard about any school actually complying with the ruling until now. Good for them. It only takes one courageous act to get the ball rolling.

Good luck next week, Mavericks.

Someone told me the head coach pretty much told people at the begin of the year we would go 8-2. Well coach you went 2-8 if you said that go eat a ton of crow.

Maybe he has dyslexia.

Where are the White County fans?

Eagerly waiting on basketball season, I imagine.

White County and Cumberland County are in their own little "group". Whoever wins their game wins the group. It's born out of geographical necessity.

At least we go into the playoffs with momentum, this would really be a downer if we'd won our game in week two or something.

Great game, Jets fans. See you next year, and good luck in basketball.

Neither one of these teams deserves to be in the playoffs. The Jets will win.

And the weather is supposed to be good: Up to two inches of rain, winds at 40 mph, and all right at gametime!

Is SPARTA that bad? They have given up 128 points and scored 18 by the 1st team. What gives?

They have an AWFUL turnover problem. And, at least against Cookeville, they were completely out-speeded. Our guys could have been running in concrete shoes.

Only Sparta....

Only Sparta could lose a game like that. As it was happening, a dozen past games that ended similarly flashed before my eyes.

Good job Jets. Good luck the rest of the season, and hey, look forward to playing you guys IN REGION next year.

This system was supposed to reduce travel...Coffee County has Cookeville, Sparta, and Crossville to travel to. That's better than an hour to the closest one. Besides we have no history or rivalry with these schools.

Well, you neglected to mention Warren County. That's not so far. Also, you will only have to travel to two of your four opponents per year. That's not that bad at all.

Contrast it to what we have now. White County's nearest region opponent is Rhea County, an hour and a half drive at least. The rest of them are in Chattanooga region. Five years ago, they moved us to this region from one where our nearest opponent was Tullahoma. Five years before that, we had been in the Chattanooga one. So it's been at least fifteen years since Sparta has played a region game within an hour and a half of home. (other than the home games at least) And there were seven region games per season, unlike the four this plan would have, so we were travelling to Chattanooga, Nashville, Columbia, Cleveland, Lawrenceburg, Shelbyville four times a year, instead of two.

And you will develop history and rivalry with these schools now that you play them every year. And you get six games a year of out-of-region matchups with schools you DO have tradition with.

It's a win-win situation.

I think White County will win, but probably not by 24 as earlier predicted.

Well, it's too early to judge Kerr just yet, either for good or bad.

Why don't you go ahead and beat Cookeville too? Just something to think about from your friends in Sparta.

Oh, nice beatdown.

haha and why wouldn't they rush the field? They won.

Do you guys always rush the opponents' field when you win? Just curious.

Liked how the Cookeville students ran the flag into the stadium. Some said they ran it all the way from Cookeville. Some said they rode in a truck to the city limits. Which was it?

I saw one of the worse crowds from white county fans in a loooong time. Barely any students, and fans were not loud at all.

Perhaps. But certainly it will be the largest crowd of the year.

And Cookeville fans rush onto the Sparta field after their momentous achivement. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

It's a shame when parents have the maturity level of a squalling baby like this. The only one who is harmed is the kid. If I was him I'd a belted the old man a good one right across the face for acting like that in public.

White County by 14.

Impressive, my Hog-Eye friend.

I mean ya'll are competitive now but you never even won a region championship yet... I can't believe that's the extent of his "rebuilding" program,so that now he wants another "challenge"!?

It is relative. If you make 4 bucks a week, and then all of the sudden you are making $40 a week, you get to call it a "raise" even though many would scoff at that income as well. Sparta football was bad, very very bad, before Coach Brown showed up. Not only in wins and losses, but morale, fan support, etc.

Despite the fact that we "never even won a region championship yet", almost everybody in White County is very pleased with the performance of our football team the past few years. You go to the game, and you actually think they may have a shot at beating their opponent. And about 50% of the time, they do! People who are in the playoffs every year just don't understand being excited about that, but hey. We are and that's all that matters.

My uninformed guess is that he likes the challenge of going to a school that is down, and building up a system for success, and then moving on to the next one. Just speculation, of course.
