  1. Got to see this one. My first time watching this game on the McCallie campus. It wasn't nearly as exciting as the atmosphere on the Baylor campus imho. Of course McCallie dominating right off the bat took the excitement out of the air. I think McCallie exposed Baylor's glaring weakness which is their ability to stop the pass or runs outside. Baylor made some adjustments to get more athletic kids on the perimeter but it was too late. Baylor also isn't nearly as strong at the line backing core as they have been in the past. While I think Baylor is much better than they played they are not as good has they have been in the past. Too many weaknesses that can be exploited. McCallies line played much better than I thought they would and their Qb is the real deal.
  2. sounds like it will be a good one
  3. Watched my nephews Soddy Team scrimmage Baylor this past Friday. Baylor pretty much had their way with them. Looked like they were subbing players on the second series. Unless Rhea is returning a lot of talent I don't think they beat Baylor. Didn't Baylor beat them pretty handily last year without a lot of their starters? Soddy is still rebuilding but looks to have some talent especially in the youngers classes.
  4. Your right, it makes no sense for schools to govern themselves and actually do whats best for themselves and their student athletes. Instead let an organization such as the Tssaa govern you that doesn't care about whats best for you or what their member schools even want. Maybe you should do some research or put real thought into it. Check out how the Nfl owners operate and actually set the rules that they are governed by. If you have clear cut rules and policies in place you would be surprised how simple it is to operate and leave no room for hidden agendas. They could appoint or elect officials from each region that aren't tied to a school to form a disciplinary committee if needed. Doesn't the Tssaa kind of do that already? Mark my words, and I will make an open bet with you. If the Tssaa doesn't allow DII to have more of a voice in how their sports are ran many of the schools will leave the Tssaa. I would do it immediately, there is nothing to gain by them staying in the Tssaa. Im not even really talking about football but more so in the other sports. You must not be aware of the issues at hand.
  5. 113 always has a million returning medalist. That doesn't mean they are that good or the weight is that tough. It simply means they were more than likely at 106 the previous year and were mostly all freshmen. Of course 113 will have a bunch of returning medalist. 106,113 are just age based tournaments no different than wrestling junior high for the most part
  6. That will be kind of ironic if Whitwell and east Ridge just flip flop coaches.
  7. Its actually pretty simple and makes a lot more sense.
  8. so who is going to be the new head coach?
  9. There have been talks for the last few years among the upper echelon private schools. Im not sure who you are talking to or why hes telling you that but there have definitely been ideas tossed around. Ive heard this from 2 Ad's, and multiple head coaches in various sports at different schools. I don't think its been serious enough for them to sit down and make plan's but they have been discussing it for the last 4-5 years with more interest each year.
  10. You act like its something difficult to do or that it hasn't been done in other states. They would form a new league of their own. Lets call it Tennessee Private League for example. They would then in turn appoint a representative from each school onto the board, more than likely the ad from each school and that is your governing body. Pretty simple stuff
  11. Do you think the state champs had tough matches in all 5 rounds? You honestly don't think Ryan and Baylor would have had 3 kids place in the top 3? They would have had that many champions each and probably more.
  12. I thought the call was absolutely correct. I spoke with two Chattanooga coaches who hated it for Russo and also a friend of Mr Russo's who said Mr Russo himself said he could agree with the slam call. Obviously nobody agreed with the coaches decision. also I agree with Karelin, Sells missed out as well as it would have been a good match.
  13. I just saw where the Whitwell coach resigned. Hes from East Ridge and has connections in the school supposedly. Im betting hes getting the job.
  14. The privates will definitely split from the Tssaa in the near future. If all the schools mentioned above move to DII they have more than enough to form their own league and run it as they see fit. It would be even more of a benefit in some of the other sports. As far as making a super league with other states that would be costly for some and I cant see everyone agreeing to that but my gut feeling is they will definitely move from the Tssaa soon.
