  1. https://www.google.com/amp/s/deadspin.com/high-school-football-team-wins-game-by-scoring-19-point-1820330610/amp This is why you score if you can in the playoffs. Because you could be sent home by the miracle of momentum.

  3. Were you at the game?I have moved on! I do not follow basketball! It was a great game and the better team won the game. My bad I guess #68 saw someone in the home stands he knew and was just waving hello to them in the 3rd and 4th quarter after his team scored touchdowns! I stand corrected!
  4. So a 16 year old kid with a D1 scholarship offer from UT and a verbal commit to said scholarship offer gets a free pass on his actions because he is just 16 years old. All along I thought these D1 programs were looking for guys with talent and character, thank you for clarifying this up for me.
  5. Eric Striker said Butch Jones approached him during the post game celebration and said, "You're a heckuva player, but have some darn class." This speech needs to be given to #68! By Butch Jones if this player is going to be a future Vol!
  6. I see a Devils team that has to play with fire and discipline going forward. IMO both have been missing for most of this season. Too many times drives have been thwarted by personal fouls away from the ball or play. I know the coaching staff are preaching it to the kids but it seems to me these kids don't get it. With our defense all is required of the offense is 1) protect the ball, 2) move the chains, and don't shoot yourself in the foot with drive killing penalties.IMO. If they do that they have a chance to win every game going forward. I sat at the game last night and watched the sideline in the early stages of the 3rd quarter with us up 24 points. I see groups of players not watching the game or supporting their teammates. They are too busy shooting the breeze, laughing, pointing around, punching each other in the stomach, ect!! The starters were still on the field and the defense made a stop to end a scoring drive and most of the bench players didn't even know it or bother to clap or cheer. This program is what it is because of the dedication of past players and the coaching staff! The success of the program has been earned not given!
  7. Qb will be the big question no doubt but replacing 2 Defensive players that were in on roughly 400 tackles between them the last 2 seasons is not an easy fix. No one wanted to run up the middle or to the Defensive right because of them 2 players.
  8. I guess we should do away with pre game dunks in basketball warm-ups. Prior to the referee's showing up on court. I am sure the Basketball Falcons don't ever do anything like that do they. My only issue was her using an electronic bull horn to amplify her voice. BTW I was told by one of our people last year the she is a very nice person. This gentleman has known her for years and said she was very passionate about her school.
  9. BTW only thing classless that I have ever witnessed at a HS game. Is loud mouth obnoxious woman using an electronic bull horn to talk trash during the whole game. Making fun of players and fans during the game. Do you have any Idea where that occurred? I will let you answer that one Dude!
  10. I do not know what you are talking about classless. We did our routine at Fulton last year and they responded to it. I thought both teams at the 50 last year was an awesome site and it showed that both teams had confidence and would not back down and they both were having fun. Is that not what High school football is all about? My bet is if GHS and FHS face again this year the same thing will happen. There is nothing wrong with pre game fun and excitement. Everyone gets too serious over petty little things. These are 15-18 year old kids having fun playing a game they love and being excited about it.
  11. That is a ritual that has been going on for years. If you would analyze the video or actually go to a game and see it in person you would see the truth. The Devils never cross the 50yd line in fact never even approach it they are on their own side on the 45 yd line. In this game it was Carter that approached the 50yd line. It is just what the devils do to get ready for the game and lets the other team know they better be ready to play.
  12. I was in the stands and didn't see any pointing. However If you heard it I believe it and you are right should be taken up with the player in question and not another not even playing. I just think this team has a little more character than say the 2012 edition of the Devils. Talented as they were they seemed to crack with adversity where as the 2014 edition seems to stay poised. Poise is needed in the playoff's because the teams we will be facing are not BRAC teams and they will make plays on us. How we respond to it will tell us how far we will advance but I do like what I see with this team.
  13. I am a firm believer in the fact that the Champs are the favorite until beaten. Fulton has earned that the last 2 years. So does the road to Cookeville run thru Fulton absolutely it does. However since 2009 if you want to play for a 4A Gold Ball there is 1 team that you have to beat and that is Greeneville. The winner of the Fulton/Greeneville game has produced 4 State Titles in 4 years. I saw a lot of resolve with the Greene Devils vs Signal Mountain. This group of Devils do not panic or point fingers at one another. They just stick with the game plan , play hard ,and keep getting after the opponent. In my opinion that is what it will take to beat Fulton. Playoff season is 1 week away and it is going to be a wild and crazy ride in the East. Go Greene Devils!
  14. Greene Devils DE # 30 is Jarred Adams.
