 Got a Jr. RHP and a Fresh RHP...

Nice, you got at least 4 more years, enjoy it 

Doyle ,  MJ might have a bit of a building year,  still they will be competitve this year, loads of  talent in fresh and soph class. 

FightinIllini, you got any left at MJHS, mine are all gone off to college these days

Yes it's true MP is the new HC at MJ............ RB is the asst. and JJ is the pitching coach. 

 

Should be an interesting season.

Wow, didn't think that was even possible.  MJ gonna be down a bit? For the record, Cosby High School baseball will not be good again this year

Ok, Maybe if i start it ......

Heard a rumor that the old skipper is the new skipper, is this true?

Heard he was negotiating for a role in the moonshiner series. A former probation violation came up and he had to go underground for a while.He is growing a beard as a disguise.

Oddly enough I was approached to join that series, but as a shadowy figure felt it best not to go all prime time.

The guy from East Tenn

Right here, been a little busy scouring the country for premium corn and furthering my expanding sourmash empire.  What you need?

Hopefully it will be a reasonable discussion. I believe all non FCS folks would agree that those kids are good HS football players but not Mr Football winners. Mr Football winners are always considered the absolute dominate players in that division. Doesn't mean they can't be mentioned but there are more deserving kids.

 

Can I have some popcorn too? It should be fun reading the usual stuff posted by some of these folks. BTW Doyle what's your opinion? Have you seen the Webb kid play?

Not real big on sharing my popcorn.  I have not seen any of the D2-A finalists play this year.  If you have, I'd like your take on their abilities.

Sorry but FCSs kids are good HS players but not the calibar of Mr Football.

 

The LB from Webb will win one in a landslide but the other has a few more choices.

I'm going to grab some popcorn and an ice cold Coca-Cola.  Then I'll pull up a chair and watch this quality entertainment when the FCS folks get on here.  Should be some solid comments posted. Game on.

Great win for the Bears.  A sweep of West TN by the Middle TN squads. 

 

The #1's should take notice.  All 4 squads that advanced last week played quality schedules and will put up a good game this coming week.  My bet is two #1's will fall at home this Friday night.

What's your best guess as to which 1s fall this Friday?  

13 seasons, 3 wins in season (3 times)  - 5 head coaches, 3 headmasters, 2 principals 1 AD- wonder what the problem is - only 1 common denominator - doubt if anyone there will ever figure it out.  Too bad for the kids like many I think the school has potential.

MJCA should be a powerhouse in athletics given the right leadership, you couldn't ask for a better location.  But in all honesty, PC only cares about boy's basketball.  The place is one good AD and one good recruiter away from having a decent football program.

They have never won 4 games in a season, won 3 games 3 different seasons.  All time record after 2104 season is 24-108.  See link below:

Watched a game and kept up with the season.  Saw some improvement, but with the lack of depth and overall talent it's hard to see what areas of improvement a coach can make there.  With proper scheduling, 3-4 wins could be obtainable.

or as PC calls 3-4 wins, a banner year

I feel sorry for you man.  "Attacking" a player?? Seriously?  I know all the coaches.  Sorry man. I feel sorry for you.

Wow, I stay out too late a couple nights and drunkenly renew my vows in Gatlinburg and I log on to read all this infighting, guess I'm not the one having a bad week.  Just out of curiosity, since you're tight and all with the coaches, have you been able to go over personnel with them?  Cause I know all the coaches on the staff at Cosby High School, but they don't really care what I think about where folks should be playing, but maybe that's just my misfortune.

. The clocks ticking fast there Doyle, better enjoy all you can with the one you love while you can. Never know when another one of those wish I was there moments occur.

Good advice, I'll have a Black Bear Ale at Smoky Mountain Brewery and she can drive me back home to Cosby.  Maybe we can renew our vows at the Little Chapel while we're at it.

FC is zero threat in passing?  What games did you go to?  Obviously not the same ones I was at.  Sure they have had some off games and throws but they can pass.

good luck with that passing game then, just my opinion, asked and answered  you be sure to post the FCS passing stats Friday since I'll be with my woman in Gatlinburg

Hey Doyle, if you near closing out tonights run, could you give us a synopsis of how you think the game will play out.

I've seen a couple FCS games this season. Truth is they are a zero threat passing game team, I fully expect DCA to load the box and spy #8 and the freshman QB.  If DCA can throw the ball with average success, this game should go down to the wire.

I saw some big ole boys out there for Cosby

Big bodies, small football players, but we're getting better

I never realized how big our JV line was

Maybe it's because we're so small

if you live in Ramer, You have to drive by Mcnairy to get to adamsville.  Surely you can acknowledge the huge advantage Adamsville has by getting Football Players from all over the county.  Or are you like the Union City folks that pretend they are just a little ol single A school doing things the right way.  You both know the advantages you exploit and yet you both will complain about private schools that recruit.  If NCS beats Adamsville or Union city this year they will cry all the way back to west tn about how NCS recruits.  Private School recruiting is no different than open zone recruiting.  

BigDanTeague knows a lot more about 1A and 2A football goings on that you folks will ever realize.  It's some crooked programs out there Dan, you keep fighting the fight.

Coach Garner put up 41 in her first win.  MJCA has only put up 46 pts in 5 games.  Pretty safe bet going with Pickett County on this one.  You would think even in the blowouts, the 'coveted' 8-0 freshman squad would have put up some points when they came in during the 4th quarter. 

 

Future might not be as bright as some think for this squad.  Only time will tell.  I'll agree with 'inthagap' though ... gotta respect the kids that keep going on the field week after week.

Smoke and mirrors my friend, that 8th grade schedule was a bad joke at best.  They will go winless this season.

Hey Doyle,

 

How's the eastern part of the state treating you? Still waiting for that coke you owe me. lol Just wanted to invade sweatervest forum and say hello.

Hello old friend, the mountains always treat a man well.  Still making shine.  The coke offer still stands, see you in Cookeville.

Congratulations to Coach Garner with her first win in high school football.  Coach Davis is still searching for that elusive first 'W'.  Won't come this week against FCS so it'll be interesting in the showdown against Pickett County on October 10th if MJCA gets the first 'W' of the season.

I'm taking Pickett over MJCA when they play, just the way it it.

This isn't the real 'test'.  That will come on October 10th against Pickett County.  Who gets the first win ... Coach Davis or the first female High School football head coach in Tennessee history?  My money is on Coach Garner.

I agree 100% Mr. Pine, though it's a stretch to call Ms. Garner a "Coach" when members of her own coaching staff refer to her as "more of an administrator"   but this loss will only add to the depths to which the MJCA football program has stooped under PC's tenure

Huntland has been scoring a bunch of points so far. Could be a real test for the Saints this week.

Real test?  Huntland wins this by at least 3 TDs.

don't know about the game but tonight it will be Doyle 1, empty quart mason jar 0
