being preemptively mealy mouthed with excuses may pass for smack talk where you’re from, put it doesn’t pass muster where you’re playing tonight.

”excuses are the tools of the incompetent.”

-mike tomlin-

 

i sincerely hope the best for the martin kid as well.

one of the best athletes I ever played with broke his neck pre-season his senior year, football may have been one of the best things in his life both then and now. so I’d say you’re spot on when you say no one at trousdale can understand a young man going through tough trials in life. great insight, please share more

No I’m not making excuses, nor was I personally attacking your team. Unfortunately I don’t have the type of mindset you’d like to think I have. 

I was expressing my respect for Martin Smith as an athlete. His heart makes him who he is. If you think for one second my attitude and thinking matches your unrivaled negativity. You sir are very wrong. I’m quite the opposite. I’m not mad nor am I upset. My friend Yeti was right when he said earlier in the thread there’s no real discussion here. 

I’ll not respond to anything else here. I understand it’s a complete and total waste of time. Good luck to your team. 

Maybe sometime you will learn there are some classy folks in the world that have a positive attitude toward their team, as well as their  opponents.

well, I think you’ve set up every excuse for tonight’s game in case it doesn’t go your way.

 

no one can possibly score on meigs county without it being everyone’s fault but your defense. it’ll be the fault of refs, injuries or by the miraculous intervention of  God Almighty.

 

and if your star running back who hasn’t played a down in over month doesn’t come out and have a career night, that will be an excuse too.

 

you've got a few hours. I’m sure you can come up with some more.

I hope the football is better than the grammar. 

Awfully defensive when the smack swaps ends. Seems Tiger2 struck a nerve....

Safes travels to the Meigs faithful this evening. Proud of our young men no matter the outcome. I hope Martin gets to play the best game of his life tonight. TC folks have no idea the trials this young man has faced in his life. This season has been plagued with injuries for him. I won’t say he’s the best but, he could make a big difference if he’s at a 100%. No prediction from me. I’ll be satisfied knowing Meigs gave their all no matter.

iyo, how much of an edge will next years schedule give meigs friday night?

 

i’ll hang up and listen.

Why would I think that would give them an edge? I was only responding to the comments about lack schedule strength.

No Sequatchie is the best team that they said was on Megis schedule and they Megis fans are saying that TC is same as Sequatchie and Marion played Sequatchie its the only two teams that are the common opponents, of Sequatchie and TC

Actually it’s spelled M-E-I-G-S.....I didn’t ask nor did I say anything about Sequatchie. You said Meigs struggled with Marion. We did not play Marion.

Good for them they have actually stepped up their scheduling I guess south Pitt would rather play Meigs than TC

I have no idea what South Pitt wants. I live in Meigs County. 

 

One thing is for sure...I don’t recall ever playing a team that had the arrogance I’m witnessing in posts being made here. I know Meigs has a fan or two that’s made a few should I say uneducated posts.

I’m not making excuses for the schedule. But, no matter the team. As an adult I will never publicly demean a team, coach, or a kid. I guess as a Meigs County resident and fan I have no right to assume our young men will show up Friday night and give their all. Come time for the trip home win or lose, blowout or not I’ll still be proud of the effort our young men have put forth. 

It’s called being humble and appreciative.

Has everything to do with it a good season can be mandatoried with a week region and playing sisters of the poor for none region games TC put 21 points in the first half it took Meigs the whole game to put up 21. I have seen you'll use that we beat who was on the schedule but the school picks who is put on that schedule so that argument doesn't fly. Seems like to me Meigs struggled the whole game with Marion Co. So that equals a struggle win. Maybe you'll try scheduling South Pitt whitwell or even Tyner. I just guess everyone isn't like Watertown and Hartsville play anyone anywhere.

I’m very confused here...When did Meigs play Marion County? I’ve attended every game I don’t recall that game  

Actually, Meigs has Greenback and South Pitt on next years schedule. 

 But, please enlighten me on the Marion game we struggled with this year....

I’ve said it all year

(yes yeti I’m anticipating your smart #### response)

Meigs has had a cupcake season. Playing teams that are that level of mediocre does a couple of things...

1. It causes you to win easily and be undefeated

 2. It causes you to think you are better than you actually are

3. Your use to having easy games with no real adversity so your not battle tested 

4. You only play your starters some of the game, no experience or conditioning playing 4 quarters

5. When you get punched in the throat your going to tuck your tail

6. Your going to waste your time and effort posting on CoachT this week trying to prove  this is all not true

7. Your going to have a lot of crow to eat

8. You will be extremely mad at this post because deep down you know it’s true

9. Friday you will realize I was right

10. And finally you will be sent home with a 13-1 record. 

TC 31

Meigs 20

 

Trollin, I’ve never ran across anyone that spews more ignorance than you. You’re all over the boards stirring up mess and running that jaw.

It’s easy to hide behind a key board. Demeaning players, teams ,and their fans seems to make you feel somewhat manly I suppose. 

1. Meigs players played the schedule they were given. 

2. They have done what they had to do to get where they are. 

3. Meigs fans are just happy to be where they are at this moment 23 years since a semi final game. 

4. I have no idea what TC has. 

5. I don’t really care what you think. Neither does anyone else. 

6. Maybe Peabody will humble. You after this week. (However I’m sure that will never happen. )

7. Grow up if you want to jaw and pick fights show up at a game and do it in person. (That’s most likely never going to happen. )

8. No one has ever said Meigs was going to roll over TC.

9. I realize what Trolling is but, if you’re going to do it. Don’t get your little feelings hurt when someone smarts off to you.

10. Since you seem to be such a football guru. Why are you not on staff at ESPN? I’m sure you’d be a legend in your own mind.

I could continue but, I’m tired of typing. After all it’s not going to change anything. You’ll reply with yet another toilet full of the ignorance that is Trollin.

Have you made them go 12-14 yards for a first down?

Well first downs came at a premium tonight. 

Just now, crow said:

Update? 

Meigs 21-0 at the half....SG showed up to play. Although, their trickery didn’t quite work on the first try. Maybe later in the game 

Someone needs a wet wipe and a few grammar lessons... 

I didn't realize that until I started thinking about it after I posted. I had a lapse in memory....I couldn't remember who all did start. Now that I think about I'm totally wrong. 

At any rate this Meigs team is looking pretty good. 

Just some info about Meigs. The QB started last year as a freshman. Yes some kids did transfer from Rhea. Rhea is just across the river. The 25 seniors had very little bearing on the team. As only handful of them started. Meigs has very good depth. The QB pretty impressive. 

24-7 final. Tigers looked pretty good. 

24-7 Meigs 3:32 left in the 4th

And another personal foul against Forrest!

🤔

35-7........getting a little chippy. wonder if the meigs people had any merit in what they were saying.

Nope we have no merit or class in Decatur!! 🤔

Or so I've heard....

Someone seems awfully sore......🤔

Made the 5 hr trip on a last second audible personally. Dragged a friend. I am hurting today physically and don't know how much energy I will have, but I do have thoughts on the game:

 

Coach Johns, in one year, has cemented himself as the best coach in Forrest history with regards to results.

 

- Meigs #1 was the best back Forrest has seen all year. Inarguable.

- Forrest looks gimpy and banged up as a team. Don't know official injury report, but they just look tired. If there is any chance they could focus on lifting and not hitting this week, might be a good idea.

- #7 makes throws when it counts. Period. #8 again was a man amongst boys.

- Forrest controlled field position in the second half of this game, unlike the Tyner game.

- Salem on here is a great poster. Very good analysis.

- The TD catch that won the game was a jump ball between 3 kids. The Forrest kid won and outwrestled the Meigs kid on the ground for the TD.

- The trick play from Meigs kept them in the game. WTH was that.

- The game got very ugly at the end and I'm going to discuss that.

 

- Here's what happened. #22 intercepted the ball. He ran a few yards, I'm not sure if he got out of the endzone or not, and he got gang tackled. Fine. Game over. But Meigs kids kept jumping on, and they were practically performing surgery on the Forrest kid. Punches, kicks, etc. Disturbing to say the least.

 

- Kids on either side are lining up to shake hands when all of a sudden the Meigs kids fall out of line and are progressing towards the Rocket sideline more like a pack. Above this you can hear the Meigs headcoach screaming things like "You all didn't win, the refs gave you the game...hope you enjoy it, you didn't earn it.." He was screaming this at children. He was screaming this at students, players, and the Forrest coaches. We knew it was him because his hynea high pitch voice could be heard thruout the entire game.

 

- Forrest coaches yelled back some, but basically let that redneck hang himself with his own stupidity. What an embarrassment.

 

- No Forrest players were addressing Meigs fans. That would never be allowed.

 

- Meigs players continued to menacingly "float" near Forrest students, fans, players who were praying. Flexing and acting like they wanted to fight.

 

- I've never seen anything like it. This rains from the top down folks. When the head man is allowed to display such asinine, immature behavior, there's no mystery as to why the kids were doing it.

 

There is one reason Meigs was acting psycho- they thought they had the game won with 3 min left on the 4th down fail by Forrest. Period. Well they didn't.

 

I know the TSSAA is a joke and will review nothing. Forrest had several kids injured on the final play. Apparently eye gouging, kidney kicking, scratching (that's right we had Meigs kids clawing bare skin on our kids) are also well taught in Decatur.

 

I'm back in Carter Co and I've got too much personal stuff going on to make the Marion game. I do want to congratulate Forrest on 11 wins, Final 8, both school records, as well as staying classy in the face of borderline criminal behavior the likes of which this old man has not witnessed on a football field.

 

The other Forrest fans on here are showing incredible restraint, as they know every syllable I am writing is correct.

 

So much for "Meigs wins this one"

 

Coach Johns, in one year, has cemented himself as the best coach in Forrest history with regards to results.

Ok, I have read enough from fans on both sides. I saw two teams play a hard fought game. I didn't hear the Meigs coach screaming. I did see a scuffle in the end zone. I did see players from BOTH sides acting out. I saw and heard plenty of classless fans from both teams.

I really thought both teams were evenly matched. Thanks to the Forrest fans and Meigs fans that recognized and respected the players for both teams that had a great game.

I wasn't on the field so I'm not making any calls to whether any kids were fighting in the pile. I do know from experience it happens. Tensions are high expectations are grand. Teenagers and immature adults lose control. I applauded gathered my things and went home satisfied the Tigers had a great season.

Bashing either team or calling specific kids, coaches or whatever out on a public forum behind a username is easy.

I wish the best for Forrest as they face the machine that is Marion County.

I hope they lock this thread because it truly has gotten ridiculous. I'm embarrassed for both teams when I read things fans post here.

Good game Indians!!!! Was a good time visiting had a good supper at RaeZacks....the owner is a classy guy came sat down with us and talked football.

 

Good win for the Tigers on the road.

Lawson is impressive the kid never gives up. Well on to Marion County for the Tigers..,,gonna be a tough one for us.

 

Thanks Oneida fans y'all are great hosts!!! Maybe we'll see you at our place next year.

Meigs had trouble holding onto the ball last Friday. Turnovers and penalties were a big issue with the Sweetwater game. Meigs has returned most of the team but is using a freshman QB. I'm not making excuses for the mistakes nor am I making a pick for this game. After all Meigs lost to the Indians at home last year. Should be a good game I know Oneida is well coached and always has a good team. So I'll be looking forward to making the trip Friday.

Those that believe it to be an honor to be there fare better and enjoy it much more than those that believe they "deserve" to be there.

Like em or hate em, Mitchell always carries the right attitude IMO.

 

Holler at me Thursday morning at the game if you're there...I know famer3 is supposed to be there also

Will do.....I am going to try my best to make it unless work puts a kink in my plan.

Just gouging a little with that last post......Great teams have bad nights it happens. Sometimes the cards will fall in the right direction. Personally I would never say that a team doesn't deserve to be at the tournament. If they won the games it took to get them there they certainly deserve it. Hampton has been there 3 times in a row so that tells me there's no question that they can compete with the best. Even the best teams/players make mistakes. A team like Hampton does very well at using those mistakes to their advantage. I say this first game could go either way. But, I'm pulling for H-town. ðŸ‘ðŸ»

...Can't wait to "experience" it myself

I'm gonna ease up to the 'Boro and" experience" it myself. From some of these posts maybe they should just cancel the tourney just hand out the awards. Seeing as no one else seems worthy. 😂😂😂

In the words of Pujo.....Fear the Dogs!!!

You are 1st class....always like posting with you Meigs Co fans.

You all shot 99% from charity line...Unreal!

Was a great match up between Zy and my boy.

Can't say both teams didn't give it their ALL

Great ballgame Jones is an athlete I enjoy watching him. As I've said before you've raised up a fine young man. Was great to be home!!! I got my $$$ worth tonight. Good Luck to H-Town in the 'Boro!!!!! I'm a Meigs resident and a faithful fan. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't still have blue in my veins. Congrats to the Bulldogs!!!!!!

We may get slaughtered...But we won't be dismayed

Pretty sure there's not gonna be a slaughter....Best game I've saw all season is what I'm hoping for..... SOS means nothing at this point in the season.

BTW I'm glad to see Jones made it back. Broke my heart to see him have to go out at that Marion Co. game. He's got heart and drive. Nothing but respect for him from me.
