Who law? #19?

Lots of “Law” talk with the Westmoreland program. Seems there was law (enforcement) in the press box in Lafayette last Friday night. Now Law on the field for Westmoreland. Who fought the law? Did the “Law” win? Will the “Law” win?!

He is not a real ER fan. He is building all this up for other teams to see! He don’t have a clue who is who and what has happened in the last two games. 

Pretty easy to spot ain’t it.

Hopefully we will improve.  Scheme is still questionable,  has been for several years.  I was well pleased with the offense.  A lot of kids contributed on friday.

How many starters did y’all return in each side? I was thinking it was several.

Somebody must've stolen Jasper's defensive gameplan.  They didn't have one. 

Didn’t Marion have a lot returning?

Right now I see East Robertson as the favorite in 2a

You don’t get out much. Nobody from our region is close to being a favorite in 2A.

Can we have yalls dc, pretty please!

No, you can’t! Of course, it appears some around here want to get rid of the whole staff.

Welcome to the dark side

Truth. 

Forrest, by a bunch. 

Watertown and Westmoreland always have excellent defenses. Many schools would love to have either DC. History, and scores this year, would tell me Watertown has the better offense. I see this as a field position, which ever offense turns the ball over less game.

So anyone who criticizes the coaches either doesn’t know better or has a personal axe to grind? Get out of here with that BS. Keep thinking all coaches are infallible and that B Satt puts a disciplined, fundamentally sound squad on the field. 

No. Some coaches are bad. Bad coaches don’t go to the semifinals consistently. I’m sure their were some fans that were saying “If Creasey was here…” last night. Fans from other good programs laugh at fans for blaming Blake every year. 

Personal fouls, motion penalties, not having correct personnel in the game, those are on the coach. Criticize away. But tackling? To say the tackling is on this staff is laughable. They didn’t all of the sudden not know how to teach tackling. Athletes tackle athletes. Non-athletes can’t tackle athletes. That’s just the way it is.

They are missing basic tackles over and over though. Talent is poor for sure but looks like poorly coached team to boot. I wouldn’t chalk up Harpeth and whites creek as wins just yet. 

Look, I get it. The team isn’t good and someone has to be at fault. Coaches know the deal. If you lose you are going to get the blame. If you win, the players generally get the credit. That’s the way it’s always been, and the way it should be. I realize some people blame coaches because they don’t know any better. That’s understandable. Some, unfortunately, know better and just have a personal axe to grind for numerous reasons. 
 

Consider this though. Hasn’t this team been to the semifinals the prior three years? Maybe the coaches suddenly forgot how to coach over the past summer, coincidentally, at the same time as losing 85% of the starting roster. Yeah, some assistants have come and gone, but the core of coaches is still there. And say what you want about Eden, he is an upgrade that can coach. High expectations are a good thing to have in a football town, but reasonable logic instead of emotional reactions might clear the waters.

I’m gonna get this out of the way first, these refs get worse and worse every year it’s pitiful. They aren’t the reason we lost, but it was like they had no idea how to call the game. 
 

With that being said, I said going into the game if we could stop the Boarders twins then we could win… We had no answer for them… Very good athletes all around. Our defense was not the best tonight and our line play was pretty rough. 
 

As far as offense goes we have to do a better job blocking and we have to get the ball to the M Law more often, he don’t dance he runs and runs hard! 
 

Positives, the boys played hard till the end and never gave up. 
 

Good game and as much as I don’t like em, good luck on the rest of the year to the Tigers! 

My father in law said y’all had an extra point blocked and a kick off return for a touchdown against you. Said your defense was the only thing kept you in the game. Is that not correct?

I guess Blake has to coach and go pad up and okay some defense and make a few tackles along with his pitching duties.

I was being sarcastic. 

1 minute ago, RTD said:

I wouldn't put any of that on Blake besides from delay of the game. TC is just overmatched this year and will be in most games. The line is just not good enough to win on either side of the ball it's a talent issue more. A coaching issue. Just give it time until 7the through 3rd graders get into high school before TC will make any run to a gold ball. 

Come on man. It's always the coaches' fault.

I can confirm that Gordansville dont say Smith County anymore,they now say DADDY instead.

Gordonsville never said "Smith County". Carthage.

This thread reminds me of when the group is making fun of someone and that person doesn’t realize it.

I'm pretty sure there is no animosity from anyone associated with the program over last year's situation.  Most of that was created on here by people with no affiliation to either team lol.  As an Upperman supporter, I would gladly trade a few non-region losses or a certificate in the trophy case for nine gold balls in the trophy case.  Much respect to TC's program.

Gotcha. I figured Uppercumberlandman was a supporter. I have no issue with Upperman and their program. I’m truly happy to see their program where it is.

Half empty stadium by mid season, mark my words.

I didn’t say you were wrong about the crowds. Just said I’m not about to learn…

That is what fairweather fans do, and you guys are about to learn that your fanbase is as fairweather as they come.

I’m not about to learn anything. I’ve been around here a lot longer than you.

I talked to a sideline hustling ball boy that saw the game last night between Macon and east Robertson. He told me east Robertson was gonna win the 2a championship and Macon would win the 4a championship. He said book it

I’m sure East has some excellent athletes. We have been hearing that for some time on the creek bank.

Cool! No problem. It ran from Gordonsville into South Carthage. The tracks ended under the old bridge. Most of it is a rails to trails walking trail now. Gordonsville still has rail service to Bonnell Aluminum. 

Yeah I’m familiar with the walking trail along the road in South Carthage. I know there was a tragedy near there in the 40’s where an entire family was killed by a train.

We never had Portland’s horn for them to steal back. 

It was tongue in cheek. Where were the train tracks in Carthage? I know Gordonsville had an active train not many years ago. Don’t know if it still runs. 

I’m surprised Portland never stole their train whistle back from Carthage.
