Purple & Gold Standard

It is 38-35 McKenzie at HALF

Dresden and UC are to ...

Should be a tough one ... Still got to have better discipline regarding penalties ... If we don't turn the ball over and commit alot of penalties, I see us winning ...

Ok...I'll turn to you for all things Jackson sports...

I see what you did there...Good night Big Ed...Hope to see y'all again in the playoffs...Hope them big ole Adamsville boys don't beat up on little ole UC in a few weeks...See I can do it to...LoL

Nobody said y'all suck...I've given credit to the Lions and respect the program...This was a game that worried me and the Lions came out the gate hot...We righted the ship, got a couple breaks and won the game...

Maybe Big Ed will enlighten everyone...

Not interested in other threads...Who said y'all didn't understand real football ?

Man I said y'all were up 14-0 early...49 points to y'all's 17 over the last 3 1/2 quarters doesn't matter ?...That post doesn't even make sense...Comparing a loss to a win ?... C'MON MAN

Now I'm confused Peabody guy says the score was closer than the score indicated...You say you hate to agree...Anyway, Mom and Dad were really good to ole Standard...God rest their souls...Have a good one Big Ed...The Lions (not lioness) as some called y'all are a good team...Played a gritty game...Impressed with Horton...Hope his ankle heals up and impressed with the sophomore #7...He's going to be a kid to watch...That kicker y'all have is a weapon...Just didn't have enough horses Friday night...

Sorry Big un....You got my vote...

You guys take a 14-0 lead early first quarter...We win 49-31...We outscore you 49-17 over 3 1/2 quarters...Is my math off ?...Just commenting on the game being closer than the score indicated thing...The folks that had to stand along the fence because of the band might have filled that section up a bit more...IMO

I mean, it was 49-17 after the first what 5 mins of the game ?...

Pray for no injuries...Work on defense....Get ready for the stretch run...GO TORNADOES !!!

Wasn't WBBJ...The internet guys...Guess they are morons too...

You know, I'm not questioning T.C.A's integrity ... What difference does it make if it's one or two ?...The TV guys said two...Take it up with them...Good luck the rest of the way...You'll need it with Peabody still left on the schedule...

We can go back and forth but UC has a solid reputation as being a clean playing team...And we didn't have a player suspended for two games for unsportsmanlike conduct...Let's not leave that little caveat out if we are talking about this subject...

I'll say this, our offensive line absolutely dominated...Hurt T.C.A. linemen or not...One play on the goal line we had a guy continue a block almost out if the end zone...It has to be demoralizing as a defense to know exactly what the play is going to be and not be able to stop it...Had we not had that QB keep that lost 4-5 yards on the opening drive of the second half I have no doubt we would have scored there...T.C.A said we will stop your outside game and give you the inside stuff...For the most part they shut that down...Jones just ate them up in the interior...How many times did he carry the ball ?...Had to be up close to 45 times...I've always said if we would throw the ball 5-8 times a game defenses could not stop one phase of the offense...You don't even have to throw down field...They ought to do it for no other reason than to have it on film and make teams waste practice time preparing for it...

The Tornadoes have a troubling trend starting...In the three biggest games we have played this season we have started slow...We were able to fight back in the wins on the road at Peabody and T.C.A...As the season goes on and moves into the playoffs you can't depend on that...We have to get off to better starts...Our defense has to get better... We seem to take poor angles and don't contain on the edges...Our tackling is suspect at best which goes back to last season...Tackling in space especially...The Horton kid is impressive...Being a senior, he is really good at being patient but explosive when he has to...He was killing us in the first half before he tweaked his ankle right before half... We got work to do before we start thinking about a return to Cookeville...We also have to clean up those penalties...Hope all the kids that were banged up last night heal up quick...Good luck the rest of the year...On to prep for Gibson County...GO TORNADOES !!!

Solid road region win... Union City - 49 T.C.A. - 31 Gotta shore up that defense...No turnovers on offense...Had two TDs called back by penalties...

Union City - 49 T.C.A. - 31 Late in the 4th

Union City - 42 T.C.A. - 24 5:00 4th

Union City - 35 T.C.A. - 24 3:52 3rd
