i think that smith team had 19/22 starters that were seniors or close to it. fayetteville is losing a couple of good players but will only get better with how much talent is in the younger grades. i’ll take a 2nd round exit down year any day over a typical 2-8 down year that most teams would have

I agree with you @City223. Thanks for picking up the slack for the Tigers this year on this forum.  

Now that I've had a few days to get over the shell shock, or the hangover, or both from last Friday's Pimp Slapping we took from Smith Co., I want to state the obvious and say that SC completely and totally earned their win.  Not only deserved, but did what they had to do to ensure moving on to the next round.  All three phases of their game were on point, and Fayetteville's were not.  If I knew how to post the picture of the Marine with the Thousand Yard Stare, that would be the best description of the feelings most of us fans had in the first half.  Halfway through the second quarter, I had an out-of-body experience where I teleported/time-traveled back to November 22, 2013.  Basically the same end result from that night to this last Friday. @Southtowner, you were there.

We will regroup.  We will put in the work.  We will continue to improve.  The coach and assistants will work on what we need to do to get better.  It's not "back to the drawing board", it's "Here we come again".  

In my best Tom Hanks' Coach Jimmy Dugan voice, "We're gonna win. . . WE'RE GONNA WIN!"

@Varo,  I don't think they'll let you control the game clock this week for this one. 

Look @Southtowner, if ANY refs are here on the T, and they have been informed that they'll be assigned to our game Friday night, I'll let it be known as of right now that they can get ALL the Smoked Bologna they could ever want.  I know how to grease the skids!  I'll even throw in some hot sauce, free of charge!  

Okay. We score 22 more, keep Forrest from any, and you can call me NotreDameus.

We play on Thursday. 

This game is Friday.

Will need smoked bologna. 

You bring the magic Mojo and we'll have the bologna.  BYOHS.

Smoked Bologna tonight.  Any Cascadians coming down need to try it.  Not sure they have this kind of good food up in Bell Buckle. Might want to grab a few extra for that long, sad drive North after the game.

Speaking for myself and the Fayetteville Tiger family,  sending my prayers for strength and peace through Him.

Cookeville will be your best bet to get a nice sit down restaurant they have anything from Texas Roadhouse to O’ Charley’s and Cheddars and Longhorn +many more. I recommend a place called Father Toms Pub on Cedar Avenue in Cookeville there’s plenty of restaurants on that side of town too,  make sure to stop and get some Ralph’s donuts for dessert on the way out they are also on Cedar Ave. 

 

 

Yeah I was hoping for something more local and closer to the high school. Won't have that much extra time to go to cookeville, eat, and get to the stadium. Thanks for the suggestions! The pub sounds like a winner for some other time. 

Anywhere decent to eat in Baxter or thereabouts?  Or should we stop on the way? Or does the concession stand have anything better than popcorn and Skittles? Tigers gotta eat!

I’m pretty sure tullahoma won by a touchdown maybe. city beat fc by at least 3-4 touchdowns tho

FC 6 T 0

FC 6 T 7

FC 6 T14

FC 13  T 14

FC 13 T 17 Final.  That was the scoring sequence as I remember it.  Tullahoma's kicker was a game changer tho'.  Good form, good follow through, great leg.  But, good opportunity to get some young Tigers on the field.  

Congratulations McKenzie Rebels.  Bring the Gold Ball back to the West.

Want to post the information for your broadcast again? I'll be tuning in for sure. Not a fan of the NHFS. Watched Dresden is the state championship game a few years back and wasn't impressed one bit with them. 

 

Go McKenzie!!!! Hope to see you play on Black Friday. If I can handle the cold. lol

www.985theelk.com is the Fayetteville broadcast.

Couple more quartersand the red devils would of come back   Yep  that is my take.   

Hog, SF had a lot of heart, and the tens of fans that made the trip made some noise for their boys.  But, SF could've played until the kickoff of the UT/GA game and still couldn't have caught up.

All is not lost Fayette.... the World Cup is a couple weeks away!  You will have more time to learn futbol for next year!   

Actually HogH, Fayetteville already has a pretty decent futbol team, and we play in the Spring.

Use it for motivation. 

I hope to see yall in Chattanooga. 

The only way you'll see them in Chattanooga will be in the stands, watching the game.  Surviving the West bracket is championship enough.

Okay.  Some of you folks that has seen WC play, what they got?

A lot of grit and fire, but a young team still working.

They played behind the sticks all night.  Just outmatched everywhere at every position.  I really thought Red Bank could make a game out of it.  But I was wrong.  

Red Bank after the first five minutes.

Not that it matters, but are there any Huntland transfers on this Fayetteville squad? 

Only transfer on the Tiger squad this year is from Lincoln Co., and he's waiting out his time.

a little bird told me Huntland thinks they'll hold City under 32 points.

I think the moon's made out of cheese but that doesn't make it so.  Huntland will come to play but doesn't have any threats this year.
