Sometimes you have to dummy stuff down so other can understand. You got it, didn't ya?

No, he meant the last three quarters of the second half. Therefore, the first six minutes did not look good, but the last 18 minutes Blackman slobberknocked them.

Warrior82dad.....you might want to get your facts straight before you start bumping your gums. I guess you think you are the only one on here that has any knowledge about football. Get real... When one of those 15 wet balls slips through the hands of that wide open wide receiver....you will know what I am talking about. Hopefully it is dry and no one gets hurt during the game.

Your right...never played. Your argument still makes no sense. Keep at it.

Your argument about the receiver having the footing is the same point DaBlueRaider is making regarding the running game. Both of them know where they should go, but their footing is would be tricky if it is raining. As far as the ball being dried off....you can dry all you want, but if it is raining, those balls get wet. Use all the balls you want..they will get wet if it is raining. Once leather is wet, it doesn't dry overnight. Wake up...

On the flip side, Riverdale has not faced a back like the I-Train..Hard to slow down something you can't touch. Choo Choo....Train is leaving the station.

Being from KY...I can tell you that St. X will not chicken out. They might beat Riverdale's brains in. They are an all male school, and usually dominant on the National level.

Mathers is probably out....been very sick all this weekend. Not looking good for the Blaze. Bryson looks like a hairline fracture, probably out as well...

I have seen many Fern Creek games over the years, and three this season. There is a reason those two kids comitted to Louisville...must I say more...its Louisville. Not even the best team in Kentucky, and UK is not that good. Is it a compliment to be recruitted by Louisville? Mathers will far surpass the quality of offers those kids had. Roll on Blaze...

Man you are sneaky....maybe one day I can be like you. "21"

Is that the goal? If so, you have about 350 useless post. Keep up the good work.

Thank you...at least someone with some reason behind them.

You are missing the boat. I guess the rest of the teams in that district need to start scheduling those poor out of district teams that they can beat up on, and act like they have done something. At least schedule out of district teams that will give you some challenge. I heard the YMCA has a team to play against next year. You in? It will all come out in the wash when Riverdale is home watching the finals.

Not even referring to those errors. I said errors that Riverdale did not cause. How about the flop kick off that Blackman decided to let drop. Should have been easily handled, and fair caught. How about the fumble on the 43 yard line? No defense was there...just miss handled. Both of these errors cost 14 points.

Do you know those NON-District teams records? I guess you don't. That is not saying much, or something for them to be proud of. Seeing how the real competition is in Rutherford Cnty, and this district...that would be my measuring stick.

I guess not, if that is what you consider "No Life".

Like I also mentioned...Blackman made many self made errors in that game. Riverdale did not cause those errors. It looks like to me that three teams in this district found them beatable. I am sure others can do the same with that one dimensional team. It amazes me that TSSAA lets teams in the playoffs with LOSING records in the district. Is this the YMCA? Why do we keep score if everyone gets in?

To my point...when this year, has the TB or FB or slot back run for 300 yds/gm.? They are a one dimensional team...they don't throw the ball enough to be considered a true threat. Yes, the QB threw for quite a few yds against Blackman. Before that, he could not hit the broadside of a barn, or at least he was not given an opportunity to throw it. At least his stats showed that.

What facts are you stating? Yes, Riverdale ran out of time, because games have a time limit. Do you not think if there were more time, Blackman or Oakland could not score more also???? I believe Blackman was beating them handly in the beginning, then they also made some errors. Riverdale has had some good teams, but like I said, this year they are week. They will not be there in the end.

Does it matter what team I support? I visit high school football games all over Tennessee. I am just stating facts of what I have personally seen. Sorry you can't handle the truth. They had ONE game of passing. I already said they can't do that every game. That makes them a one dimensional team.

Drew a good bracket... they won't be there at the end. If you think so, you are kidding yourself.

Go back and check the yards passing my friend, and compare to this year. Once again, I am referring to this years team...one dimensional.

I have seen their titles...I have to inform you that during those title runs, they also threw the ball. This years team (and that is what I was referring to as weak)is a one dimensional team. It has shown this year.

I have watched them three times this year in person, and one other time on film. With the exception of one game, they are a one dimensional team. Are you telling me a team that cannot throw the ball, is a strong team. That running game can, and has been shut down. Their QB had one good throwing game...he threw for over half the yards he has had all year. That won't happen every game... No grudge towards Riverdale..just think they are weak team. BTW: you bring up Oakland, where are they now? Were they suppossed to help your case? They are weak also. Just ask Franklin.

After watching Franklin's practice today, I don't see the Blackman corners getting burned. Franklin's wideouts are slow, their routes are not precise, and the QB has a very slow release. I will also have to say that Franklin's QB will have a very hard time throwing the ball to any wideout while he is lying face up on the ground. Blackman's defense is intense....Franklin better bring their "A" game on Friday night.
