The great equalizer is visiting Lynchburg Friday night as well...rain.

Man I wish I had the confidence of some of you other fans. McKenzie is good! This game's scoring and result will be like a military haircut... high and tight.

If anyone is counting McKenzie out, they have not been paying attention.

I actually took into consideration that Fayetteville had such a tough schedule. I wasn't basing their merit off their record. I just didn't feel that the Tigers had quite the punch of years past. I definitely didn't mean any disrespect. All the teams had athletes and some teams like Collinwood and Franklin Co had size. I just felt overall the schedule MC faced wasn't as stiff as what some of their western counterparts have faced.

I try to be a reasonable Raider fan if there is such a thing lol. Our regular season schedule was soft. We tackled Cascade, Fayetteville, Franklin Co, and Forrest out of region. I mean no disrespect to any of these schools but they all had down years compared to seasons past. Within the region, you just have to play the schedule that's dealt. While Eagleville and Cornersville were tough nuts to crack, they don't compare to teams like McKenzie, Dresden, nor Union City. I don't want to take away from Moore Co. They have talent and it's tough to go undefeated no matter what region you are in. The real competition starts now. Whether teams come in at this point battle tested or not, now is the time you either put up or shut up. Is Moore Co really that great? Is McKenzie really that much worse off than the past two years? Friday night will solve it and Lord willing we will all witness a fantastic matchup of amazing talent. Can't wait! (McKenzie has had our number the last two times out so right now they are still the bully on the block.)

That's awesome! Ya gotta be excited for '24 then.

I definitely can't argue your picks. All these teams are excellent but I wouldn't be surprised if Union City makes a trip to whiskey country in round 4 but let's enjoy round 3 first. Hats off to Eagleville by the way. Not sure what they have coming back for next year but I'm sure they'll be a region competitor.

Union City, Dresden, McKenzie, and Moore Co... You couldn't ask for a better quad than that in the Wild West. Meanwhile the other side of the bracket I believe will come down to South Pitt and Coalfield. Congrats, the Elite Eight has been set!

When you know it's the last game of the season, you gotta make that money lol I did not see this score coming. I'm shocked but the Eagleville concession operators knew!

29-0 McK

We all love your spot on predictions. You always get them right, but one thing the Capt does not get is sarcasm. Carry on Guru.

You're missing the boat, Capt. You only predict sure bets. You aren't really telling the forum anything we don't know or couldn't predict ourselves.

Does anyone else see the pattern with the captain's predictions? lol

Then why not put that point spread at 28 or 30?

This just in... CaptGuru is predicting a forward pass will take place tonight if anyone would like to place a bet against it. He realizes it's quite the gamble but sometimes you have to throw caution to the wind like a forward pass. I haven't gotten him to approve this message yet. He's still working on the rest of his "locks" of the week. Stay tuned.

Capt, folks are going to be disappointed that read this thread later. You are calling for a big, decisive Page victory and you put the over/under at a measly 17 points??? I thought confident, message approved OldGuru would at least put it at 35. Losing faith in your prognosticating ability?

I totally agree with ya. Keep it close to the half and hope most breaks go your way.

What's your point spread on this decisive Page victory? We need a point spread from the wise OldGuru.

You are really going out on a limb here, OldGuru.

Thanks Vol. Have a good broadcast!

You always guarantee the obvious on every thread you chime in on. Obviously Tullahoma will not mercy rule Page. Your screen name should have been Captain Obvious instead of Guru.

I figured I would at least start a game day thread since no fans are chatting about it nor media members. I'm guessing most don't think there's much to discuss and that it's a foregone conclusion. Hoping Tullahoma's defense is stout causing several turnovers. Hoping special teams can be consistent and field position can be flipped often with a solid punting game. Hoping the offense can find their footing in the run game and that there can be just enough passing to keep the defense honest. Hope springs eternal. Good luck to both squads tonight!

I believe you'll get your wish. I just don't see the mercy rule coming into play.

Yeah MC definitely has the target on their back as the hunted. Eagleville can play literally like they have nothing to lose. Don't get me wrong. I think MC wins. I just think the Eagles have improved from the first meeting and will definitely be motivated. (I just want to see McKenzie and Moore battle it out next round so badly!)

True, Mac did leave for Marshall Co. Just like Huntland was a different team the 2nd go around, I believe Eagleville will be as well.
