Charlie Murphy

You're right. I do have it figured out. Those homegrown Polk boys whipped your ND recruits. Jerry Jones would be cleaning my glasses!! And the reason I didn't ask, is because I don't care.

Another high school football Friday morning is upon us... 33°F when I got up this morning! I love real football weather, especially when a great game is expected. Good luck to both groups of kids, stay healthy, play hard, make some memories! Charlie and crew will be rolling down the interstate with the Polk flag flying and hit the Beene at about 6:30 EDT...

Notre Dame scored 1 offensive TD in those two games. I agree that you are "sick". Which part of your team is better, the QB that threw three picks, the WR that dropped a wide open TD pass, your lineman that were carried off the field... but you were alot better at lining up off sides, false starting, and taking more than 25 seconds to get a play off.

Thanks, I completely understand the volatility of the quads.

Is it that SP has progressed since the Hixson game or has SP's competition regressed?

I don't want to speak for Gerry or step on his toes, but I'll take a shot at this and let him correct me if I'm wrong. If Smith wins out and gets #2 in the district at 6-4, and is in Quad 2, most likely they would have a 4 seed behind Upperman, Polk, and Notre Dame. If Upperman ends up 9-1, they still are #1 in the district, but could slip to a 2 seed behind Polk, if Polk were to win out. I believe Polk could edge them on "quality" opponents.

#21 is around the ball all the time. Getting Pittaway back has added to the defense (and offense) by taking some of the pressure off of Miller and allowing more platooning for the linebackers. Miller is a good linebacker, but when he puts his hand on the ground, on the D-Line, he is unblockable! These pie-rat fans are just poor mouthing on here. They learned in 2009 that talk is just talk. I still remember all the "speedway" talk, and how Polk couldn't hang with the speed of SP,, and I remember the silence of the home crowd when Polk made it 21-0 early in the 2nd... ah! good times, goooood times! I also remember 2011 down there when Polk was lucky to not get mercy ruled. But, back to 2013...... I really think this game can go either way. Polk has had a few "flat" or "uninspired" moments this season. I will go back to what I have said, I believe Polk can control the line, but can they contain SP's playmakers? They have faced playmakers from other teams and faired ok.

Polk Co beat Notre Dame on the field.

You're a blue devil fan but don't know what class they are.....? Get back in the kitchen!

I knew what you were referring to, that was then, just poking at the Pirate fans. I'm guessing both teams are different now than during fall preseason.

Yes, it seems it would be Westmoreland.

Hey vol, keep an eye on Tyner, they can get in as a runner up and that may push Someone to Q3 and shuffle the Q2 seeding.

No....

Boyd is not good! That may be something you really know, just can't admit. 14-7...?? WOW!

You may want to use different descriptions for what happened at that scrimmage.... The "ran all over" that Polk did was a little different than the "ran all over" GB was doing. But I'm sure the other compliments are appreciated. Now to the game, I think Polk will control the line on both sides of the ball and control the game. Polk has faced teams with as good or better skill players and came out just fine. But, they have had their "flat" moments.... And it has cost them. Charlie is looking forward to the visit to the beene.

Notre Dame was missing some players, ok. Polk doesn't recruit, let's call it even!

Yeah, I said after the pre season scrimmage at Bradley that this SP team wasn't the same caliber of SP team that I had seen there in the past few seasons. And those three schools should be better, right? One is 6A, one is 4A, and one recruits! All I care about is that Polk is better on October 25. We can discuss that later, on the 1A/2A board, under the proper thread.

Charlie is looking forward to seeing how this one turns out. It's hard for me to believe a few players being out has this much impact on a team. Both teams really need this to keep the playoff hopes alive. With that said, I'm not buying, I'll take McCentral.

Not to get too off topic, this discussion will kick off in earnest in about 15 hours. If Roy get's the website up on time! But, stop all that poor mouthing, SP ain't dead! I would say Bradley, Sequoyah, and Notre Dame are better than SP, East Ridge was a fluke and I don't know how Walker Valley scores on anybody! Polk should win out, but lets get one at a time. I think Polk beats sweetwater and gets some young kids in, but I quit predicting scores after the ER game, because who knows which Polk attitude is going to show up?

It looks as if the winner would get the #2 seed and the loser would fall to a #5 or #6. Remember though, this is all a guess. I'd say the #1 seed in that quad is likely a lock.

I think Tyner will be favored over Red Bank. Tyner plays a tough schedule and had to forfeit two wins. Good analysis!

Yes there will be 16 teams in 3A playoffs that are 1 and done. Thats how single elim tourneys work

Harpeth has 5 wins now, they will be in the playoffs. As for Grundy, wins over Bledsoe and Cumb. Co, gets them to 4 wins, and as coachrus stated that is usually enough. If Bledsoe beats Grundy they could get to 4 wins,, plug them into Grundys spot. It won't be exactly like this, but somethings are relatively secure... It's the bubble teams that stir the mix.

How about I call you both........ COME ON MAN! I know that you know what you are saying here!!!! 5-5 ain't going to happen, but 4-6 will get you in the p-offs in most years!

I corrected some of the geography mistakes and took Stewart co out.. Like I said, I know it won't be like this but why not make some guesses, however uninformed some may be. I guess I could just add last friday's results to the TSSAA list and post it a day earlier than they do,,, but that's not how it's going to be in 3 weeks either! I was interested, so I whipped up a spreadsheet and thought I would share. Enjoy, discuss, berate, ignore,,, whatever you want!
