If I heard correctly, the deal is done... I can only guess that they are waiting for the candidate to inform his school and players before making the announcement...or for GQ to get back in town. Maybe Monday? If what I heard is true, sounds like we're getting a good one!

No doubt...awesome stuff!!

Was interesting to see LSU defensive coordinator Coach Chavis at the game last night chatting it up with the Jacksons...not sure that bodes well for the Vols.

Couldn't have said it better RR. I thought TD (living legend!) and Richie (wounded warrior!) stood out the most, as well as Joel "feed the dawg / Crazy Legs" Hopkins! I love watching him fight for extra yards, he just has to hold on to that ball a little tighter when he does so. I thought we were pretty effective on offense when we had Tyler, Dylan and Joel in the backfield pounding the rock. Ravenwood should keep their heads held high, they played outstanding and were a class act. Same for their fans, loud and proud! Congrats to the Rebels, this was one for the ages!

Yeah...I'm SURE that was it!!

Can't believe I forgot about him...he needs to get back on here! Saw him and his crew after the game at Mickey D's...he was hoarse too!

You were probably in a good spot...being just below Stars can be hazardous to your hearing! I will say this, the Ravenwood crowd really brought the noise! Does anyone know if their kids rode buses over to the game? They were packed in there and were rowdy the whole night. Impressive student section to say the least!

Hey Spanky - I just realized that I sat next to you last night! I had not met you previously, so I didn't make the connection. I am not originally from Maryville and just moved here 4 1/2 years ago, so I'm still figuring out who everyone is. Good to sit with you and a big contingent of the Mafia - Stars, Red Rebels, StrongX, RW, MHS82, Rebels5Star, Mr. 200, others. Guess GQ finally listened to what you were saying...Tyler went around the left side for that final score in OT!

ðŸ‘ðŸ‘. Unfortunately, I got overruled on Crawdaddy's...we had 3 extra kids come with us and had to settle for Outback. Not complaining, but was looking forward to some Cajun food! 😕

No doubt...wind can play as big a factor as rain. Could definitely be a positive for MHS. The Rebels are starting to arrive in CookeVegas!

Congrats to CPA on a well-deserved victory. Hockaday and company were not to be denied again. Congrats to Alcoa on bringing home the silver...I know it's not what you wanted, but you should still be proud. Was a little disappointed to see Rankin throw some kids under the bus in the post-game interview...especially hard on one of the players who got the holding penalty (kid was sitting right behind coach while he was making those comments). I know coach was not happy and was frustrated, but he just needs to take the blame and not publicly fault the kids. Just my take... Again, congratulations to CPA, very impressed.

Congrats to the West Rebels for bringing home the GOLD! Defense played great against a high-octane Hillsboro offense. I loved watching your two studs on offense...Fast AND Tough! Way to represent East Tennessee and District 4!!

CReb - Looks like I may leave you hanging...me and the crew already have our tickets and will be making the trip down I-40 for the big game. I'll leave the light on and you guys can make yourselves at home! Was sure glad to be in the dry last night while watching West roll over Hillsboro. The dynamic duo for West were exciting to watch. Fast and Tough! Hate that Alcoa couldn't bring home the gold yesterday, but CPA earned it. Hockaday and crew were not going to be denied. I'd like to see some of the Fulton game this afternoon, but I may be picking Food (Crawdaddy's) over the Falcons! As for our Rebels, we'll have our hands full tonight. However, I like our chances...especially with the defense we have and an offense that has found it's rhythm after a bumpy first half of the season. With so many kids stepping up, you never know who will shine tonight. TD, Vaught and Tillery shined last week...along with the usual suspects...Jackson, Miller, Burgess, Brock, Young, Shinsky, Orren...too many to name without leaving someone out. Can we stop Ravenwood's WR stud - Jefferson? ...sounds like he is due for a big game after being bottled up the last 2 games. Looks like their "second option" at WR has almost as many yards as Brock for us. We were able to do it against Hendersonville's stud last year, but this year we'll have 2 good ones to stop. Our secondary will be tested. Looks like their QB is a dual-threat...can we keep him contained? Also looks like they have good RB in Rowland. Sounds like a balanced team to me...something we haven't seen a tremendous amount of this year (of course, some of that is US making teams one-dimensional). IF the forecast holds, doesn't look like the weather should be a significant factor. I'm hoping that if our defense steps it up one more time and we win the turnover game, the offense and special teams will do what it takes to bring home the gold. Looking forward to an exciting night in Cookevegas!!

So, you will be coming to the game? If so, which side will you be perched on?

Reality check Barn...not all folks are on your level! I'm especially prone to absences if RW87 is not bringing touchdown cookies or brownies that night, MHS82 has run out of BlowPops, Mr. 200 has gone fishin and is not there to help lead the "woo", Rebels5Star and the PaintMan want to go out to eat, my daughter is hanging out with Red Rebels' daughter...etc., etc. Yes, I'll admit that this year has been different for me. My son has given up the pigskin after too many broken bones and a body obviously built for academics, not athletics (well, maybe a little baseball). However, I did get to spend a week at the beach with him that I otherwise wouldn't have been able to do. And yes, I did miss 2 games because of it. Yes, another game was missed because I was out of town on business. And, I'm sure there was one in there where my wife wanted to go eat or shop, or I simply didn't feel like going. Will it happen again next year? Probably. Will I still buy my 4 season tickets next year? Definitely. Will I be the only one who sits in them while my kids are in the student section and my wife gets the house ready for 20+ teenagers to come over after almost every home game? No doubt. Do I love the Rebels (and fans like you)? Absolutely!!

Ha, ha...I don't think so. These boys are focused and know Blackman is as well. Ain't no trash-talking coming from the Maryville camp...it's all business. If there is talk, it's from overly excited fans, not our boys. This should be a battle!

Nice one Pep! I think I bought one of those for my son this year! Ha,Ha

Overall, it is a great group FBG19. Many of us actually sit in the same section for games and even get together every now and then for lunch. Just a bunch of old has-beens who love Maryville football!

MN - this is where the old linebacker grabs you by the facemask and yanks your butt in line, cause you've crossed it. They know our boys can play...ALL of them.

Are you serious? This thread is NOT about Maryville...so why make that statement here? Looking forward to watching the replay of Oakland-Blackman game online this weekend, I'm sure it will be a battle.

Bingo AR. And for the record to all interested parties, the report I was given had All players present and/or accounted for at practice today.

Scratch that...the cookies are excellent!!! No complaints there!!!

I'm trying.... cookies, commentators...

Excellent! I'll be back this Friday...was in the bed sick last Friday listening from home. Wish George and Jeff were still on the radio doing the games!

Agreed. Those Maryville kids are purty smart too...specially those math nerds!
