tistheseason, were you at 5 guys burgers before the game friday night?

Ive only seen them play a few times this year but I can say I was very impressed with them last night. I saw the Howard game and it was a nightmare. I was very shocked last night at how well they have responded to all the adversity this season. They looked like a very good football team last night and should have won the game. Thats the way it goes I guess, hopefully things will improve for them next year. Maybe all these close calls will light a fire in them and they will live in the weight room between now and next season. That and the return of a few injured guys and maybe some that are not playing could turn this thing around.

There probably were men downfield but if you didnt see it during the play and call it you cant and dont rely on the opposing coach to call it for you. lol

Wow! I dont like to second guess coaching but that was crazy. Up 21-7 and Hixson hasnt stopped you all night. The only way they get back in the game is with turnovers and instead of pounding the ball you come put throwing? At least pound the ball and eat the clock up and make them earn it, dont give them a pick 6 and then turn around and give them incredible field position the next possession with more passing. Now some of the blame has to go on the Qb, he should have never thrown those passes but if they would have stayed in the I and ran #9 down their throat you wouldnt have been in that situation. He ran all over them in the first half and might have carried the ball 2-3 times in the second half. CRAZY!!! Also sweeps to the right towards their tiny corner worked all night. Their defensive ends were crashing and not containing and their corner was mismatched all night on the run or pass. They only threw on him one time and it was a long touchdown pass and he wasnt within 10 yards. That game should have never been lost by Central. Im not sure what was up with the phantom penalty call on the botched punt either. How do they call it a first down, spot the ball and set the chains and then let the opposing coach come onto the field and talk them into calling a penalty 5 minutes after the play? If you dont see a penalty and throw a flag how can you come back and call something you didnt see?

39-21 an 18 point difference and he thinks you should have won. I guess viewing the games through his purple colored glasses means that game that isnt a 20 point difference means you should have won. Heck, I guess you should have won every game, they were all 0-0 at one point.

[ Like I said, this iow the worst year for Cjhattanooga football in 20 years. Everyone of those teams is way down but yet they still beat you. Im not degrading anyone, Im just saying you dont have the talent. You could have won some more games but that doesnt mean you were better than them. I bet their coaches are saying the same thing you are and wondering how in the heck you played them that close. The comment about the kids from Harrison was in response to someone elses post, if you read the quoted comments above the posts surely you can understand that.

Actually Im pretty knowledgeable and Im very knowledgeable about those kids. There are some great kids on that team but they do now have the size, strength, athletic ability or depth to be a 7 win team with the kids on the team now. Thats no knock against them as individuals or their work ethic its just a cold hard fact. I doubt anyone who has seen them play other than a parent would say otherwise. Lets face it, almost every team they have played other than Hixson is not as good as they have been in the past and they still cant win. They just do not have the athletes needed to win on a consitent basis. I gurantee you if they had won any of those games the opposing coaches would have felt they let a winnable game slip away. I dont think one single coach that beat you thinks they got lucky or stole one from you.

lol, it hasnt been 40 years but its been over half that

Not in a million years could this team win 7 games. No knock on the kids but you have unrealistic expectations.

Actually the juniors , sophmores and a few fershmen were on teams growing up that won the championship 4 years in a row and had the best talent in Chattanooga hands down. They beat everyone they played including the city league teams badly. The other Harrison team at the time was also very good and they often faced off in the championship game against each other. The kids then won at the middle school level as well. One of those kids now starts at east hamilton and is one fo the best in the city at his position, one starts at Signal Mtn and is one of the best in the city at his position, several others are at Baylor, Ooltewah, Notre Dame. The problem is keeping the talent there. Then you have all world safety who is at Ridgeland and centrals Qb is at Ridgleand. Now Centrals schedule was pretty weak and they had a chance to win 6-7 games but some of the remaining kids were kicked off for disclipinary actions. This remaing group of kids had little chance to win and anybody that thinks differently knows 0 about football. Did they lose a couple of games they could have won? yes, they did, but at no time have they been the best team on the field. I dont think anybody could win with the talent, size and depth they have now.

what weight will this Tidswell be?

I was asking about results from the tournament wrestled last Saturday. The one this thread was about

Any results from the Tourney?

Are the results posted anywhere? Were there any good matchups or upsets?

Did him posting this cause you some kind of harm? He clearly stated what the post was about and you chose to open it. There should be only one forum for all wrestling. We dont have enough involved or knowledgeable people and topics to need numerous forums.
