Father Ryan Wrestling

if u actually watched the pope vs. mba game is was closer then u think....the score should have been 14-6 pope killed themselves with penalties.....but i guess yall are better then pope cause they beat yall by 28...so haha thats funny that ur even laughin...

If the score should have been 14-6, it would have been 14-6. Pope is in no position to play D2-AAA teams. Before the Franklin High game, Lussier made crucial adjustments to players positions and different schemes of play. The Father Ryan team you saw Week 1 is VERY different from the one you see in week 7. Know what I mean? Lussier didnt know what to expect in week 1 or 2, but he found out quick, and he made changes that were on the dot.

If Ryan can play like they did against MBA and better, I would expect a fantastic game. Homecomings arent the best games for the Irish, but we are looking to turn that around friday night. The victor of this game will only win by 7 or 3 points.

it also didnt help ba either so stop comparin him to those 2 backs they have...they r good but not better then golden...

I have seen many games played by these players. I would rather have to go against Tate a whole game than to go against the BA backs for a series. Then again, Pope fans probably havent see BA play, but if you did, you would see why.

They'll stink for years to come as long as they play in DII-AAA

Haha, and I suppose you think JP2 could do better? Things are changing in D2-AAA. Father Ryan has become a whole lot better. Does the 14-7 loss to MBA not fathom you? Pope would be humiliated if they played in D2-AAA, maybe you learnt that at your MBA game, when the best chance you had to beat them, you were smothered.

and white and ford what they did against mba lets see.....white 3 more carries then golden and only 65 yds....ford got hurt but only had 3 less carries then golden for a total of 17 yds n i don't think he would have gotten to 94 on 9....they are not better then golden...golden does things that other football players cannot..he doesnt lose speed in his cuts and he never gets tackled by 1 guy u have to gang tackle him...he breaks lots of tackles....but i guess father ryan can still say that there r better players then him cause i mean he didn't do ne thing to yall when yall played him..

Tate threw up the stats, but that sure didnt help him help his team beat MBA did it?

i just want to know why yall think he can't play for a team like notre dame...i mean golden will more then likely be the number 1 prospect from the state of tn next year..

Nah, if you ever watched BA, they got these 2 guys named Ryan White and Tyreese Ford. They make Golden Tate job look like a joke. They play in much more harder games and succeed. And they have been playing since their freshman years (they are now juniors).

For once I agree with FRW. He is corect, but I did see that the Williamson County Cowboys under 115 lb. team was ranked 16th in the Nation by Pop Warner Weekly. All schools in the county must be lickin the ole chops.

:justwrestle:

Nothing against the poster, it is just that no attention needs to be brought to us.

useless topic

Is DII AAA, as a whole, down this year? After MBA's first game I thought for sure they were going to be in for a very down year. But, then they turn around and beat the Brothers and continue to do well. Maybe SC (or Byrnes) football is just at a much higher level. . . Before I've always felt that the top end of DII AAA could compete with most of the high up teams in the country. Any explanation from those that have seen these teams up close?

Dont forget Byrnes is in the top 25 nation, and beat a top 10 team. Independence (I think?). So far, from what I know, no too many D2-AAA teams have lost to non-D2 teams. FRHS beat Franklin and Centinneal. I think the only team who has lost was McCallie to Alcoa, but I doubt anyone from D2 could really contend with Alc. So yes, we are still one of the best classes in TN.

Yuk!

The one on the right looks better

I don't understand the point of this topic. How would the Irish feel if Golden had chosen to attend FR and everyone said, " If Ryan didn't have Tate they wouldn't be half the team". The whole point of it is that Tate is a KNIGHT. He is part of the team. Regardless of his accomplishments he is not the entire team. He is explosive YES! He is talented YES! But without the other 10 guys on the field he is finished!

 

This is simply WHAT IF!

 

By the way Greg141 please chill on the Ryan game...done deal let's move on.....

We would have loved to have Tate! But Pope opened up too early . But I think Tate will be the biggest legend at JP2, so cherish him while you got him. I dont think he can go to ND cause they choose academics over athletics, and from what I hear, Golden is not in all Honor or AP classes, not to take anything away from him. heck, even I'm not. But I could definitely see him on a SEC team. Maybe UTK or SC.

Well right from the get-go, it looked like the Irish were doing well. They shut down Baylor at the first series and did really well their first series. Baylor got the first score, but Ryan answered with a good drive. They made it to the red zone but threw and INT. After that, the confidence of the team was really shot for the rest of the half. But during the second half, we played a much better game. However, we still could not score. If the Irish had limited their mistakes tonight, it would have been a different ball game. Good job to Baylor, they really took advantages of our turnovers.

i dont wanna hear these irish supporters making these dumb questions about tate or jp2. Bottom line is yall got beat and would have gotten with or without tate.

You are too quick to judge. The Irish shut Tate down the last 2 years. The only problem was that this season's game, we shut down ourselves before we shut down Tate.

UNCfan, you said Baylor should move down to D2-AA! They are one of the best schools in Tennessee, and yes they deserve that spot in the top 25 SI issue. But they need to be at the very top of D2-AAA athletics, all things considered. They are a very powerful school.

But Ryan is becoming powerful, thats why I pick them to win.

Yes it was a joke by someone who thought he was being funny.

 

FATHER RYAN WRESTLING i ask that you change your name because i know who you are and you have nothing to do with Father Ryan's wrestling team. so now everytime you get on and make some smart alic or idiodic remark you make them look bad and its rediculous. If you had any brains or should i say class you would change your name and quit disrespecting the wrestling team.

Oh Texas, Dont be so mean to me. I have never shown bad class or made poor remarks about anything. If I could stop posting I would, but I dont like it when teams talk negatively about us

I agree with 1Irish1. There are only 4 teams in D2-AAA who have won the state championship in the class. (Father Ryan, MBA, McCallie, and now MUS). And if we moved to D2-AA we would be totally unfair to the teams we play. heck, we are pretty unfair to the teams we already play in D2-AAA(all sports considered). We wont move down cause we dont deserve to be moved down. Father Ryan made it clear the first year of D2-AAA, We will be the most dominant school(in terms of all sports) in the class. And we sure havent failed that promise. ^ . ^

Why don't both of you get a room?

Ahhhh.... Jealous we got a new fan

This is the most potent game for the Irish. Their fate hangs on the edge of the knife. Yet, there is hope if the team remains true. Many will not believe in them, but they believe in each other. I just hope a sense of comradery will return to the team, like the one I saw in my younger years, before people left... :usa:

Father Ryan is coming back.... Buckle up.

Golden Tate is harder to stop. He is a great player, a true play maker. But to say he will make it to Notre Dame or any out -of-Tennessee college on football scholarship is a little farfetched. I can definitely see this kid at UT Knox, but thats his limit. But he if does go there, UT will be good again

Yes I am a student and most of Ryan knows who I am. Nice to meet you, Ole Dad. Thanks for supporting the Irish, they are a great investment right now! Also check out our other sports, basketball, soccer, baseball. They are all very exciting and Ryan loves it sports.

Greggy,

I will be happy to debate this with you when Lussier plays his 3rd game against your bunch. In fact, I'll meet you there and sit next to you so we can enjoy it together. You guys don't have a monopoly on winning and I would sure be careful about being too cocky. I've been around a long time and as they say, "every dog has it's day." Enjoy yours because times change. No one has poor-mouthed the fact that Lussier lost his first game and it happened to be against JP and they had 9 turnovers. There will be more games. Stand by!

Ole Dad

9 turnovers that did not come out of Lussiers hands, so dont attack our coach, 'greg'

Will the excuses never end. One day or two years. Who cares. Irish got there butts whipped. I heard the same crap at parochial league games over the weekend. I know this is a BGA thread, and I know that Ryan dominated. I am just sick of hearing the Irish faithful poor-mouth the tail kicking that a school that has had less than 3 graduating classes put on them.

Wow, why do you gotta come here and trash us? Do we go to Pope threads and trash them? Way to show your class, chief.

Father Ryan knows what they need to win this game. They dont commit many turnovers at the FRHS field (only 1 fumble in 3 games played at Ryan). Baylor might come tired, cause thats a 4 hour trip from Chattanooga. The Irish will hit hard and hit hard early with some key players who have been relatively quiet this year... The Irish know a lot about Baylor thanks to a little source

Ryan has the advantage of the home field. They got high spirits and are ready for the win. I take the Irish by 2 TDs.

Father Ryan has 2 "HOME" Games left. One is at Vandy. Where is the Baylor game being played.

 

How can a school expect to establish a consistant program when you dont play any home games? Are there any other teams with this problem?

How do they make any money?

How Long will this continue?

Is there no hope for a deal with someone?

 

As a Pope Fan I dont mind the fact that they will be coming to Hendersonville every year and I'm sure that everyone in Div II-AAA doesn't mind either.

The TSSAA has placed the tag of Home game on a few of thier away games I guess to allow them some of the gate proceeds. But I'm sure the FR people aren't working the gates or running the concessions so i'm sure they didnt get a big piece of the pie.

 

No matter what the TSSAA calls it an Away game is still that.... Away from Home field advantage.

It aint easy playing away games every year. But we are used to it, we've been playing for almost 80 years without a home stadium. And yes, it stinks traveling. Lets say we had to travel to Memphis. The team leaves at about noon on Friday. they go to a buffet and eat ( a lot). By the time they get to the school, they are very tired and dont have a lot of energy. Thats what hurts us. Traveling around Nashville isnt bad, but yes, we do need more home games. We really need a stadium. You have probably heard we are getting one, but we have been saying that since we got the campus on Norwood. Someday, one day, we will have a stadium.

Baylor 6:00 @ Father Ryan. Expect to stand, there wont be many seats.

Father Ryan 28 BGA 7

An awesome game for the Irish. Hausman had 192 yards rushing with 3 touchdowns (i think?). Hausman has proved himself over the years and is one of the best running backs in the state. 2 touchdowns in 1 minute by Hausman alone. Dont tell me that is not good. I know Hausman has competitors like Andy Snyder, Golden Tate, and Henry Harris. But if I had to choose between those 4, I would take Hausman. Not because I am only a Irish fan, but Hausman is a leader, a great athlete, and a great player. I cant ask of anything more. I also gotta give credit to Josh Hayes and Ryan Berry. They played well against a good varsity defense, considering they are only sophmores.

But it all deserves to go the guys up front. Our offensive and defensive line is very good, one of the best in Middle Tennessee. When you got a combination of our line and Hausman, your in good shape.

A good win for the Irish. Now we gotta get ready for a home game against Baylor. We got 3 wins, its been 4 years since that last happened...

gotta give respect to my former Oak Ridge head football coach, Bruce lussier i think he is doing a pretty good job at Father Ryan even though i havent been to one of their games

He is a good coach. He was a better pick than Pittman. He has 100% confidence and never gets down after a game. Best of all, he knows football. A lot of it too. He is a nice guy and understanding (trust me, I would know) Once he gets to know his players and the school better, he will be a big part of the Father Ryan family
