I am not sure why you are taking such exception to my comments. I didn't say anything about Franklin's schedule this past season, or Coach Clayton's intentions for his schedule. Instead, I was just trying to answer the question that was posed as to why Franklin won't continue the series with BGA. If overall wins continues to decide where teams are seeded in the playoffs, it would be in the best interest of all teams in your district to play a "SOFT non district" schedule.

I would say that after what happened to Brentwood this year (5-0 in the district with a win over Franklin, but overall 7-3 compared to Franklin's 8-2)being seeded lower then Franklin in the playoffs, that the school's principal would feel that it would be in their best interest to play as soft a non district schedule as possible. Hopefully TSSAA fixes that glitch in the system, but until they do, only the CONFIDENT will play a tough out of district schedule. I hear Ravenwood has agreed to play BGA next year. Any truth to that rumor?

While I have not been posting for very long, I have been reading the DII-AA boards for a couple years, and I can say without hesitation that I have found KWoodroof to be neither ignorant or a racist.

Two games in and it is 1 for the East and 1 for the Middle. Ensworth 28-Baylor 21.

My experience proves me wrong again! Great second half effort by Elder and Ensworth. Congats to both teams on outstanding seasons. Now we can officially move on to basketball.

Agreed shakinthefat...and as I stated above, my money is on Baylor stopping Elder.

My experience tells me that when it is too close to predict a winner, the team that has the best player on the field will win. While Elder is a special player and will more then likely develop into the better player in the years to come, I believe Huesman was the best overall player I saw this year and he will prove to be the difference in a closely contested game.

Not to mention that the defender is no where to be found in the photo either. Nice work sportsfan111.

I don't have an attitude, nor was I reveling in perceived victimization. I was simply pointing out that the inclusion of the two schools records was an obvious attempt to minimize rollredraiders10's schools accomplishment in advancing to the state title game, as if they had a much easier road to get there because they played two teams that had less then stellar records. Wether they did or they didn't isn't the issue. I stand by my comments that in your effort to rebute comments that you felt were disrespectful to BA, that you did the very thing you were complaining about by disrespecting two programs that had no dog in your fight. Had you made your original comments without including the records, then it would have been much easier to believe that you were actually aplauding them. In the only game that I saw BA play this year it certainly did not appear to me that they lacked heart. At least we can agree on that.

Tell me something RedRobin, why do you have to disrespect the 7-6 BGA Wildcats and 4-7 McCallie with your condescending rebuttle? "Disrespect of competing programs is not something that is typically associated with fine academic institutions"...or are you suggesting that BA is not a fine academic insitution? I don't have a problem with you defending your kids and your program...but come on, your post reeks of the pot calling the kettle black!

I don't mean any disrespect shelby63, but BGA has been serving the 'pooch' kickoffs all year long. Undoubtably this was seen on film by your coaching staff. Since BGA has already played Baylor and used the 'pooch' kickoffs, I am also confident that they will not be naive to it. As I have seen posted numerous times throughout threads all over the football boards, the difference in many of the games throughout DIIAA this year was turnover ratio. I'm sure both BGA and Baylor hopes the other is as giving this weekend as CBHS was this past weekend.
