Boy,I like the Rebs in this one but it's pick your poison for what team I'd like to see more in Kingsport for round 3 if DB wins Friday.

This should be a great game to watch on Friday night.Exactly the two teams that should play for a chance to try and take on Maryville to advance to the state semifinal ,if Maryville plays good enough to get there themselves.Dobyns Bennett looked very sharp last night and that was a good game to build on.I won't be as arrogant about DB's chances this week but I feel they have a team playing at a very high level right now.I noticed DB wasn't 100% on the depth chart last night and that didn't slow them,hope all are back for round 2 because it will take a better all around game each Friday night.Smart coaching and smart players doing their job will be the key as they advance.I expect a much better turnout then Kingsport had last night at J Fred.No the band will not be there but this is football and how many times has DB had a chance in the last 50 years to really do well in the playoffs. That was a pretty darn weak effort by the locals last night and the band was here.These players deserve better support from their fans after the work they have done this year.

Yep,the defense came to play for sure.The game started a little shaky as the Owls stuffed DB's first drive and was marching down the field.Then they opened a can of stupid and DB got big MO afterwards .It's good to see other teams do those kinds of things when DB needs it.Just like another DB parent and I were talking about as I left.Farragut was probably the worst coaching against DB because they had the players to do what worked and were to hail bent on keeping the " balanced" attack when it wasn't woking for them.

That reminds me of a kick returner a few years ago and that's what I said all week before Devrin Young done his thing against DB.I don't know if it's down right pride ,miscommunication between the players and coaches or what.All I know is if one player is capable of beating a whole team on a return,for the 1000th time,don't kick to him.If your running the clock out with seconds to go and an 8 point lead,for gosh sakes don't throw the ball.Speaking of throwing the ball.That one pass on I think the wheel route going towards the Jumbotron was a thing of beauty.It was coming right towards me and Redwine made a perfect pass to I think Hicks.

Just keep winning !

I don't know what game you were dreaming about but DB looked pretty darn good last night.DB has enough talent to stand right with Alcoa and Greeneville ,and Alcoa stood right with Maryville.No doubt some stupid stuff has cost DB a game or two this year but they are more then capable.You factor Maryville could have beaten the number1 team and every game until the finals is at J fred.Then yes DB has a chance .I've covered the negative and all that should have never happened over the last several years but now is now and they most definitely have a chance .

The Owls have some very good players.Way to many mistakes but some great effort by several.Those backers were tough hitters tonight.Best of luck to the Owl seniors as they move on as young adults .

DB doesn't lose this one.I'm telling you,there is plenty enough talent to make the semifinal

Any parent in that general area would have to consider Maryville for their childrens education.If I'm wrong, correct me.They rank very high pretty much every year as one of the better schools in east Tennessee.Their sports program isn't to bad either.Now in NET,A parent must think of sending their kids to Greeneville for the same reason.

I'll tell you what that Dark Knight helmet rules.The DB helmet isn't bad either.You had room for a Devil helmet as well

Yeah I thank so and have said it for several days. I hope they just line up and take care of business ...........

Playoffs start in a few hours,I'd say this thread won't make past the first round

I'll never forget the answer I got the first time I drove around Eastman.That's the smell of money ! Much different answer then a kid gets when he visits a dairy farm for the first time.

Don't blame you,I'd 10 times rather be at home as on the road.Some guys like the road trips however.

That Enka plant use to be the worst smelling place just driving on 81.

You gals better get off at the next stop because the bridge is out going into Indian country

Game day,go get them Devils.One at a time

I think DB beats SH like they shoud have the first time if that's the game next friday,just my thoughts.SH really gave a gift tonight.They may matchup better with BC as well.

I'm just as lazy RW, I hope all the region one home teams win tonight.Love to watch a semifinal in NET.I've got several schools that either one I have connections with that have a legitimate shot this year.Greeneville and DB are among those.Hate for you to have to travel, but if DB doesn't do something stupid in the next week,you will be on the road.

DB isn't talking trash. Now Batman is not a representative of DB but just a fan who knows what DB has.I've watched the young men on DB's team since they were all in grade school with one of my kids.Some are playing at other schools or not playing at all but those that are left.I can tell you about many of them and they are a great group of young men as a whole.For the average football fan that has eyes,all they needed to do was watch the Greeneville,Alcoa or Farragut games to know the talent is plenty enough to go against any team in the state.I can't even think of what kind of cluster it would take for DB not to win Friday night.Yes the players have to make plays and there are some awesome coaches on DB's staff,but it would take something beyond my wildest dreams for DB not to win.48-21 is tonights DB pick

I bet three quarters will have to Google Cousteau to understand your analogy.

Until someone beats Maryville, they are the favorite in the East.I think the best matchup to do that is right here in Kingsport.They have athletes on both sides of the ball and if they just don't get excited in the first couple rounds and both teams are still playing in the 3rd as they should be.It will be an interesting game for a change ,going into the semi round.It would be extremely bold if Coach Quarles was still in Maryville but it sounds like they still have a great coach this year.There is no reason with a big line,great backs and QB who can get it to some fine wideouts,that DB can't score on anyone.They have talent on the other side as well.A couple guys that are out there much of the game , some tough backers and just talent everywhere.

There are several places within 2 or 3 miles on Eastman rd , stone drive or at the mall on fort henry .Most famous is a local drive around fast food place called " Pals ",they have several around this part of the state and the owner is a huge DB fan.Thats right close to the stadium on fort henry dr.A nice little place just up eastman rd about a quarter mile for BBQ ,HB's and lots of great food is "Braedens's " It's a small place with really good food to eat before the game

Times are different now days.Players talking trash on twitter and old men talking trash on coacht.I guess it's all in fun.My thing is play a good hard hitting "clean "game and act like you have been there during and after the game.Roll Tribe and I 100 % think the Tribe wins but nothing is ever 100% until it's over.

I don't know stars,she was able to sit in those little visitor stands at DB.I was expecting her to go atleast 7 or 8 hundred pounds but after meeting you and her,I think she would fall somewhere under 700. I tell that story every little bit and I'm really glad when I ask where your big woman was,that she had a clue as to what the joke was and didn't get mad.Asking a man where his BIG woman is,generally is not considered to be very nice and more likely a good way to cause that man a long ride back home.
