IPOPU2022

I saw em in a playoff game. I know it’s an awfully small school but they are well coached played hard and showed a lot of class. I suppose the injuries are due to 8 or 9 kids playing Iron Man Football. I wish them well and their program and kids.

I’m certainly not. Moore Co has bunch of Seniors and a couple of “real” athletes. But their overall team speed and athleticism is questionable to say the least. Big yes. Strong yes. Quick and Fast not so much. A smaller less physical team with speed everywhere will give them issues. ie McKenzie etc and Definitely S Pitt IF they’re able to get that Far. Could end up being Regional Champs and sitting at Home when the dust settles. Really Hope not. I cannot wait to see MC play S Pitt in Chattanooga.

Looks awfully favorable for Moore Co. But can they really get by McKenzie and possibly Dresden or MASE at Home. They looked fairly pedestrian in the first half at home against City. So I’m not sold on them getting outta the West for Silver Ball against S Pitt.

5A i believe unless they jus got reclassified

Does S Fulton have enough Kids to play a full game. Last time i saw them they had 18 “dressed” and 4 or 5 on crutches.

Swipe’s please tell me i haven’t lost your respect. . Are you sure you’re Ok Brother? Did your dog just die. Did your wife leave you for another woman. Are you beginning to find animals attractive. Are you suffering from ED. I’m just trying to figure out why you try so hard to hurt my feelings. I’m beginning to believe it’s because you’re grieving inside over something. I’m a pretty good listener IF you need someone to vent ur frustration and anger. Or maybe it’s because your BF KEVO moved has moved to Ca. Regardless Jesus does love you and there’s always hope. So maybe we can re-establish our friendship . I know lawnman thinks an awful lot of you. And he’s a good dude. But I’m certainly not on board with this “love fest” btw Betsy and the Devils. Yes you are correct about Bama. Everyone doesn’t like Greenville. Ditto for Bama. Not because they’re good. But because they always seem to pull out a paper plate and take a dump at midfield when it counts . And i don’t know hardly anyone in Carter Co that gives AF about anything going on in Greene Co. Anyway you have a good evening my friend. I’m here if you need anything.

Good Grief. . Absolutely Ridiculous. Next thing you know Lawnman is they’ll make us leave our guns in the Truck. What is this Country coming to.

Agree. . They’re better off ignored as a general rule.

King your as straight up as anyone on the site. I get a little defensive when I see someone who tries to put you down. Yes he’s apparently a Troll.

You’re the Cretin in this thread. The King just gives his opinion. You’re a completely Worthless Human Being and a Prick. Nobody cares about your Stupidity. Go talk to someone who Cares.

Is there a Problem with Cow Bells that I’m not aware of ? Jus askin

Good take BC. . And anyone who’s playing Alcoa until the TSSAA stops “Open Enrollment”.

Greeneville does. And benefits greatly from it. Ask Swipes. They got the “success formula” from Alcoa. Everyone in Greene Co is Welcome to come on in. The Doors are always Open. The Greene Co Allstars are awfully good as a result. With a lot of “feeder” programs to “recruit” they are consistently good. Amazing for a HS with 1100 Kids to reload every year. Unfortunately they can’t match Alcoa in the “transfer portal” with less than 750 Kids. They’re kinda like Bama. They have the most talented team but they either don’t develop or just plain choke when it counts. But they have set the “Gold Standard” for “building” a Program. Which Witten at Elizabethton started using by getting a weight room and year round practices. Such a Novel Idea. I would have thought Shawn would have figured all that out on His own. But it’s all because the Devils were lifting weights and now the secret is out. Betsy needs to thank the Devils for “making them better”. Apparently it’s working awfully good considering how Greeneville has done in the Playoffs the last 5yrs or so.

Are you being Serious? I refuse to believe that any Mtn Co in NC or TN votes Democratic. It’d be in their best interest to. But that’s a totally different conversation. I’m shocked to say the least. Mtn folks tend to vote conservative like 90% of West Virginia. Must be some blue dog Democrats that are actually blue Republicans.

Yeah it’s becoming a Tourist Resort and a Weekend getaway Spot for the filthy Rich

The Rich are buying up all the Land in Roan Mtn and running the farmers and working folks out. Hard to keep a little piece of Heaven quiet for too long. They’ve already moved everyone out of Avery Co.

Swipes you are too Funny. And Yes i am too busy atm. . So KEVO is retired in Ca. Good for Him.

I think his math is off Big Time. . No way Carter Co has 56K unless he’s counting the prisoners at the State Prison in Roan Mtn.

Must be awfully convenient to take Credit for Witten’s Success when you’re sitting at Home. I suppose it’s a coping mechanism or some other psychological disorder. Does Witten get any credit for His Accomplishments. Greene Co is Bigger than Carter by A lot. Nearly double the population. Last time i checked Greene Co is mainly flat. Tobacco Country. So to act like any Kid in Greene Co is geographically isolated is laughable. Ever heard of Roan Mtn. I was being generous when i said 45mins one way. More like an Hour. And 40mins to Hampton. Obviously Betsy isn’t getting ANY Kids from Hampton because i witnessed them both play for a State Championship in back to back Games. IF we could have combined the 2 teams we’d have won the 5A Championship easily and probably given the 6A a run for their money. I’m glad you went to school with the same classmates from Kindergarten. You don’t think a great 8th Grade Football Player at SG or CD isn’t showing up as a Freshman at Greeneville. Please. Not even including the other Co Schools as well. You’re full of Crap IF you expect Me to believe that a D1 kid in Greene Co isn’t enrolled at City as a Freshman. It is what it is brother. No need to “act” like everyone goes to City as soon as they’re potty trained. You’re the one peddling bs. Not me. No worries to admit the facts. Heck even BC Sports admitted that Alcoa benefits from Kids going to “a winning program” because of Open Enrollment. Shoot me the Kids on the Football Team Roster that are paying tuition. As i said I’m Not a betting man but I’m guessing roughly 30 to 40%. Good for You. It’s legal cheating. Refer to Alcoa. Too bad that you can’t move in Kids from anywhere with Alcoa Corp funding the QB Club and supplementing the Coaches Salary. You think Rankin went there from Riverdale and is now coaching Private. You’re always gonna play 2nd fiddle to the Tornadoes until you can offer Mom or Dad a Job starting at 25$ an hour and have them move into Town. But the Rules are the Rules atp. And Greeneville is Certainly taking the Opportunity that they’re blessed with all the County Kids. Any word on KEVO btw. I’ve noticed that Devil Fans are like a weird religious cult. Attack one then you’ve pissed off the Cult. And i know KEVO is a Homer for sure. I know he’s. Well i don’t know for sure. But i don’t believe he’s in Moccasin Bend because i think he posted some garbage last week. He’s a really weird guy who accused me of being “Barney”. Maybe he’s taking too much Seroquel at night. Or maybe he’s mixing it with Alcohol. Which is clearly written on the bottle to Avoid. Anyhow I’m assuming he’s Ok and will crawl outta his bed in his single wide soon enough. Maybe he lost his internet for late payment. He should be back online soon i pray since he got paid yesterday. Hopefully he’s got direct deposit. I certainly don’t want him driving while he’s hearing “voices”. Swipes your a good dude. I like you. At least we agree on Sorrels. That’s a move in the right direction. Gotta go deal with some other crazy people the rest of the day. I’ll catch up with you later my Friend.

We think a lot alike Booger.

I agree on most points about the Education. Heck it outta be a better opportunity or the City is wasting an awful lot money paying their teachers a significantly higher salary than the County. So no argument there. Greenville is in an awfully convenient situation with a County Population of over 70,000 people and get the “pick of the litter” athletes from the smaller County Schools. How many transfer for academic purposes vs being a stud football player. I’m guessing 50%. Name the D1 football players who weren’t economically challenged that “decided” to stay at Chuckey Doak. But ended up playing for City. Sorrells was as good a Coach historically than anyone else Greenville has had and did it playing in 3A before expanded classification. And i don’t believe the “transfer portal” was a big key to his success. Rider helped Shawn coach his first 5 or 6yrs. And played at Virginia Tech made a Pro Practice Squad for a couple of seasons. So i believe he’s forgotten more about football than I’ll ever know. He was simply complimenting the Devils for winning a couple of Championships. NOT that he somehow got ahold of Greenvilles recipe for success. IF he could rent a big Helicopter and fly 6 or 7 kids in from Cloudland and 6 or 7 from Hampton. The former being a 45 min drive one way he’d never lose a Game. That’s the Real Recipe for the Devils success. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. Heck ask Greenback about the Talent Drain going to Alcoa. And the Tornado Fans aren’t in Denial like you Swipes. You’re in a semi unique situation with open enrollment in a fairly large county. I’ll just call Jason and ask Him IF Shawn attributes His Success to the “Greenville Formula”. I’m awfully proud of Witten for getting a Weight Room from the Greenville Playbook. Smart Move I’d say. Betsy’s enrollment is going down so i think he’d do himself a Favor by getting a contract with the local Natl Guard and fly a big chopper to Roan Mtn and stop on the way back in Hampton. It’s a Greene Co “all star” Team. Has nothing to do with the “system” I was really looking forward to the Greene Co vs Blount Co Game this Season. I’d have still gone with Alcoa tho because their “transfer portal” is a little better than yours. Can you check on KEVO for me. I’m beginning to get a little worried about Him. He’s probably just sleeping. I’d imagine staying up all night playing Video Games and eating Hot Wings wears him out. He may be on the pot suffering from constipation. He probably got his check yesterday and could be hungover. I’m praying for Him regardless.

Carter Co is awfully blessed with some really talented and caring teachers for a very modestly funded School System. And the kids at Cloudland have absolutely no problem being prepared for College.

Booger who you got winning it all in 1A. You believe Moore Co has a legitimate shot. . I don’t think they could hang with S Pitt and not sure they even get to Chattanooga to find out.

I really shouldn’t have poked this bear because i knew that the teams that get rich off the talent in a county of say 75,000 people from schools outside their City Limits would cry foul. I’m Not a betting man but I’d conservatively say 1/3 of Greenville’s current football players come from Greene Co and not Greenville. Sure there’s some kids that don’t transfer probably because of economics and transportation and have to stay in their school district that are really good football players. I know Greenville has D1 football players come out every year. Can’t remember the last D1 kid from NG SG CD etc. . Is it really the “program” or do you possibly think that these County Kids that would be D1 regardless of where they played are drawn into the City System. Where’s KEVO btw. Probably still in Bed. He seems like a night owl. Hope he’s doing OK. He seems to think Ballard created a Football Lab and that all the other programs got better when they copied the formula. I guess AC got in on it as Well since they road graded the Devils last season. And I’m pretty sure that Witten must be awfully impressed with what you’re doing that led him to becoming successful. Absolute Nonsense. Wake Up KEVO time to go to work! Or do you even Work? You still hearing voices from “Barney”. I’m praying for You Brother.

I this SC will handle City. Its their first home game of the Season but i just don’t see this game being that competitive. City has enough size and speed to compete but the morale and coaching is a dumpster fire atp.
