I guess a 67% winning percentage isn't too bad. 14-9 at MC isn't stellar though.

I wish I was as optimistic as you lol. Lack of strong competition hurts deeper in the playoffs. Trousdale will be tough. Grace with their passing will pose a problem. Oneida looks to be tough. Not conceding those games but I don't think it's as easy of a road as some feel.

Past your bedtime G

A little change in personnel kinda helped knock that in the head. I am proud of the progress of our qb but if Walt was still here they could have already shipped us the gold ball.

The only misinformed one here is you. Money has been spent on upgrading facilities that needed to be done years ago. I do know one thing, Ross has done more to upgrade the field and field house than any coach in 20 years. As far as assistant coaches go his buddy is the offensive coordinator and am glad to have him. I will take a 42 point per game average with JV playing half of the 3rd qtrs and the 4th. Like I said, it's not rocket science op. Go back to sleep. Zzzzzzzzz.....

I got to know him pretty well too. He was in love with spread though.

Nope never heard you say that, just a few others. Chasing that trophy is always nice but I am a realist. The next couple years will see maybe 7-3 records.

Never said it was all the coach. It's just hilarious that Ross was God the 2 months he was at sp. You just showed your football intelligence with the Pruitt crap. Just because he beat sp doesn't mean he was a great coach. He was better than some we have had but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know you don't run the spread at Jasper. I like those zzzzzzzzz's you started with. There will be a lot more after you guys get knocked out Halloween.

Wondered that too. I just said the man liked fishing

I sure remember a lot of pitchburg people on that Ross bandwagon when he was your HC. Now that he is in Jasper he isn't that great huh? I can understand he has haters but the deal sp promised him they went back on. I don't blame Grider for backing out on the Coahulla Creek job when they went back on their deal either. Love him or hate him he is still a good coach. He's gonna make believers out of some people Halloween night. Don't say you weren't warned. Bahahaha.......

Right! Good observation.

Mac was an offensive genius. The offense is getting better and so is the defense. Last year through 8 games the averages were MC 46-14 and this year is 42-10. The first team D is giving up 4 points a game and a couple of those TDs were busts in coverage.

Yes he was but you can tell a huge difference from last year. Or at least I can.

At least until Ross leaves.

Most everybody thinks with Zeman leaving we will be done. There are some good football players on the MC squad. Pirate fans will get a good dose of it in a couple weeks. Plan on hearing one your former players name being called for a TD.

We've been through that. It sux but as long as sp stays in 1A they will always have good playoff runs.

They're gone aren't they?

That Hale man sold you out for $50. You think im joking but im not. We can't paint our field house this year because you won't get to see it. I was at the Bell Co game this year and all I heard was how the Pirates need to get rid of that Moore man. He was 14-2 after that night. SP fans are spoiled I think.

Tssaa is a joke.

That is correct

The middle school beating sp 34-8 last week bodes well too.

Thanks for ruining my weekend lol. The last time we played them was in the '08 semis. They had run through everybody that year (except Maryville). We were close till the 4th and just wore down. One of their players was quoted in the Knoxville paper saying "This was a fun game because nobody has played us this tough all year. It's nice to punch somebody in the mouth and them punch you right back." I am old enough to remember going up there on our 1990 state run and beating them 42-0.

Hopefully Alcoa turns in to move up by the 22nd. Lol

We have played 3 teams with sub .500 records. Central has played 6 with sub .500.

I think they have a shot at going. The East isn't as strong this year. I don't think Grace is as good as last year and TC looks to be banged up some. Not sure Harper is 100%. This is their best shot at it for a while.
