  1. I don’t follow you in asking how Macon let Marsh move to RBS? I don’t think he was kicked out of school and I am also sure Coach Welch didn’t buy him a house in RBS to move into. Was Macon supposed to give him a bag of money to stay? His dad played at Macon and he came up through our elementary/Jr. High programs. Marsh moved to RBS on his own. Did it hurt Macon? Absolutely, but I don’t know what Macon had to do with that. It was a personal decision.
  2. #11 played a good game. Looked like Westmoreland wanted it just a little more. MC hasn’t got that dog in them. Disappointing year setting up for the Tigers. Good thing 3 automatic wins were scheduled to go along with Cumberland Co.
  3. It was a fun game as in the score stayed close not because of the actual play. Two very bad offenses and two decent defenses is what I saw. MC still hasn’t figured out how to finish a drive. Get a little something going and then go away from it.
  4. Made zero sense to me. Ball should have never left the QB hands and probably from under center. Tried to give the game to MC but they refused to take it lol. Good thing for SC is your wondering about 1 possession in a game you won. MC is wondering what happened on multiple possessions in a game they lost.
  5. Macon plays no one really. Region is weak and out of region schedule was redone this year to be play even weaker teams. TC is really the only tough team on the schedule. With the 3 automatic wins that were scheduled and the region like it is, Macon as bad as they played and coached last night, could play the same game and will win 6 or 7 and it will look like it was a decent year.
  6. Terrible showing by both teams. Neither team is very good at this stage. MC should be outraged with this performance. Terrible clock management and play calling. Would like to think with all the support and things that are being given to this program a better product would be on display.
  7. Hearing the flu bug may have struck in Macon County. Don’t be surprised if they are down a girl or two come Wednesday.
  8. Macon is undefeated at home this year...
  9. Go cry a river... I don’t think anyone personally hates the Upperman team or Dana for that matter. In fact, I think most of the girls are friends and some even play together during the summer. It is all in good fun and it has obviously gotten under your skin and apparently the Upperman team (mainly the coach). Upperman is the two-time defending state champ, so you have a bulls eye on your back. Put on your big girl panties and realize people “hate” you because they want their school to have that success. It’s not personal and NOT in bad taste. Do you need a soft pillow or a quiet place? Embrace the hate and understand you earned it by being the most successful AA team in the state for two years running.
  10. At first glance this looks really bad. At the very least, I thought both teams should have subbed to allow the bench players some time. I then checked the Upperman bench, and realized only 2 or 3 girls didn’t play. It sucks for those girls, but Dana didn’t have 5 subs to put in. If one of the girls in the regular rotation had gotten hurt, then we would all be questioning why she didn’t have them out of the game. Not a great look, but can’t argue with the decision. Upperman still has a viable shot at the state tournament and maybe even a title. No point in risking injury to anyone that contributes meaningful minutes.
  11. Has anybody actually checked the stats from the game? All these people claiming “selfish” play, do you realize the other three starters shot a combined 1-20 in the game for Macon? These are high school girls doing their best to win. Quit analyzing so much and let them play. Did Carter and Gregory take some bad shots? Absolutely, but after looking at he stats the other players didn’t contribute when given plenty of opportunity. This game was lost purely because of coaching. That is not really a knock at Larry, as he is a very good coach. It is a compliment for Dana. She has proven she is a great coach and she got the better of Larry last night. I suspect there will be a couple of more matchups between these two teams this season. Let’s see if Larry makes any adjustments or not.
  12. “Nobody on the short list wanted it more” = Everyone else on the “short list” turned us down. If wanting the job is the only requirement, then congratulations you got your man!
  13. The fact that they think this is still a premier program is what I refer to. That alone tells me that their expectations do not align with reality. Watson will be successful if given support and time, but I worry what happens if he comes out and goes 4-6.
  14. This thread has been spot on it seems. Greatone and Gwave1 will have to admit this hire is nothing but vindication for the “outsiders” that said Gallatin was no longer a desired job. You just hired a coach that has never won a TSSAA playoff game. There were 5-6 names in this thread that had better credentials than what you ended up with. You guys will throw out all those “big names” that applied, but those guys do that everywhere. That’s how they get better deals for themselves. Quit living in the past and realize Gallatin just isn’t relevant any longer from a state perspective. With all that being said, Watson is a good young coach and will be successful if given support and time. I fear the unrealistic expectations of people like Greatone and Gwave1 will ultimately result in him being a short timer in Gallatin.
