It has been my experience that a great deal of Sports Writers need to drop the first word and just be writers. Many do not know enough about sports to write about them because they either a. never played or b. just worry about making a deadline and not about promoting the teams/ kids of the community they work in.

Again I say you can not put to much stock in "rankings" And I will get back to you at the end of the season like I said already. Just give it time. You will be as upset with Smith as you where Carr shortly.

What about the Coffee County Quarterback. While CC is not one of the top tier teams Taylor does a lot to make them better, or even compete at all really.

CC someone already took my now famous quote so I figured I would say something else. Nail, you are correct, I had a slip of the fingers and mind and reverted back to the years of Louy. Don is doing a fantastic job and I did mean Thomas.

The Falcons should fly high in this one. Fall break is always hard on a team, but coach Thompson will have them ready. They should have no problem with the lions. LC- 49 C-3

As a matter of fact, yes they are. When Stone took over at Columbia you saw a great rise in the number of students that opted to go to Columbia Academy instead of attending Columbia. That trend has continued throughout his tenure and will continue until they hire a different coach. So yes, Columbia is that bad!

So, does your team have the right guy for the job now or is Grundy still in the same boat as Cannon?

Marion should win this game, but I think the Rams keep it a little close for comfort.

Adamsville wins this one easily.

I do not think they can stop Forrest. Forrest will win this game and I am going to go ahead and say they are going to have backups in in the 4th as usual.

So You predict that they will go 5-5 but now they are playing tougher teams? Hmmm lets see. in 2015 their opponents records thus far is 16-13. Last year 2014 their opponents records where 62-51. Sounds about the same to me. and they still scored more points per game. I will come back with the season totals at the end of the year for you so you can compare apples to apples. I promise with who Fc has coming up they will not end the season scoring near as many points as they did last year. Chalk it up to a tougher schedule if you want, but I am not buying it. Rankings really do not mean a lot to me anyway. Just ask the AP how accurate their rankings have been this year. So is your prediction still 5-5 or do you think it will be a little lower. I am going to say 1-9 or 2-7 at best. With all that talent too. Wow.

Well bobcat fans, all your problems are solved now. Guess you will be playing in the state championship game this year or next since the move came when it did. Never a good precedence to set when looking for a new head coach. Why would someone want to go to a place that would let you go mid season like that? I would say your applications will be lower than you think. Just my two cents.

If the Cavs overlook the Raiders it could get interesting, but I don't see that happening. I am gonna go with Cookeville 34-10

I think Fayetteville is to athletic for Moore County to contain. My prediction is Tiger 35-21.

a couple years? has he ever stayed somewhere that long? Defense is a problem, but so is the fact that His system is putting up less points that the system that the previous coach had in place. Look at the facts here. During Carr's worst two years as head coach they averaged 28 points a game in 2011 and 22 points a game in 2014. Smith's offense is only averaging 19 points a game right now. You have got to go all the way back to 2007 under Atkins to find an FC team that averages scoring that little. Looks like offense is a problem as well. Just my two cents worth, but maybe the next coach can fix things, should be a new one in a year or two if Smith's pattern holds true.

Independence @ Stewarts Creek- Eagles 35-21 LaVergne @ Summit- wolverines 48-20 Lincoln Co. @ Shelbyville- Falcons 21-20 Columbia @ Franklin Co.- Lions 42-3

I am gonna go with the hornets in a close one.

The Patriots should have no problem with the Wildcats this year.

This job will not come open until his daddy is no longer chairman of the board. They may not play football hard in Cannon county, but they sure play daddy ball hard.

H town in a close one.

Wonder what happened to all the FC "supporters" who said that a new coach is what was needed? Guess sometimes what you want and need are two different things.

he has definitely changed it. It has gotten worse every year he has been there. And will continue to get worse if that is possible.

Lincoln county is playing very good ball right now. A little like in the early 90's with their D. I think it will be a very close game and will come down to one miscue on one side or the other.

I don't think Watertown has the ability to stop Forrest, or the ability to move the ball on the Forrest D. I say Forrest wins this one with JV playing in the 4th again this week.

Sounds like Forrest is on the right track and Cascade has a lot of work to do. Thought this would have been a little bit closer just because of the rivalry.
