1st Prediction: McCallie 46 Baylor 9 (Secret weapons)

FROM: Mr. Creep TO: TNLadyinCali 1) How many years of therapy do you need to get that big ol chip off your shoulder? 2) What do you have against Cheerleaders anyway? Their cute? 3) I married a cheerleader and have 2 daughters that are dying to be cheerleaders. If they make it, I hope their first goal will be to force their schools to let cheerleaders back into wrestling. I know you will hate this because both of them are as cute as can be. 4) Cheerleaders were one of the most wonderful part of wrestling back in the day. Not only were they the wrestlers best friends but they also performed an invaluable function by getting the guys to try significantly harder than they would have if they had to face the empty gyms as today's wrestlers deal with (with exception to your school because I am sure its perfect). 5) "Underwear" or "chicks" are not dirty words, its how you mix them up in your own mind that turns them into something bizzare. 6) Baylor Cheerleaders at the last Baylor/McCallie basketball game wore gold fuzzy things because when doing the 20 flips across the gym (which was amazing) it was obvious that it should be a part of their uniform, not something to be embarressed about or to creep people out over. 7) If left up to you, wrestlers would wear shorts, gymnast would wear warm ups, and swimmers should just give it up in case Mr. Creep might see their butt. 8) Last but certainly not least, with a cheerleading squad at every home match, schools would have a much easier time convincing the football players to try out for wrestling instead of forfeighting 6 weight classes everytime (doesn't include your perfect school, I'm sure). As hard as it may be in Cali, try to find a small sence of humor. And try smiling every now and then, its a good thing.

I wanted to see 4 things happen this year: 1) T Boone win the state 2) B Whitaker win the state 3) One particular blue boy getting a crack at wrestling both of the above 4) Cheerleaders 1 out of 4 Frustrating year but also a great one for the boys that made the grade. A wonderful sport made a heck of a lot more fun because of Harry T and Bear Cat B. I sure hope that those I tresspassed against this season will forgive me by next November! Next year, next year, next year! McCallie 42 Baylor 6 (way to go Zach)

Any team that can produce at least one female cheerleader wins the "Moms with the biggest -----" category!

A change in the blue air? Possibly the 125 spot may not be 8th grade after all! Update at 6:30 tonight.

OK this post was started to bring out the fun for this great wrestling rivalery. As promised in the first post, as that I am going broke sending my kids to McCallie and Baylor, I have the full right and privelage to critique both, either, or none with full immunity. I promised to keep a score card based on bad sportsmanship so here is my tally so far: BAD SPORTSMANSHIP TALLY: McCallie: 1 point for "outing" Walkenvol (though its nice to know, maybe I'll be a little more careful next time I decide to engage in some direct verbal sparring). Considering some of the things I've posted on CoachT, being "outed" is uncool. Thank goodness I've done such a good job hiding my own identity, right BCB and HT? MCallie: 1 point for directly slamming a fellow poster's son or wife (no penalty applies for slamming the poster himself). Baylor: 1 point for multiple post slamming a program for KIDS. Remember, the wrestlers themselves look at these post and when Baylor fans enjoy kicking a sweet hearted old dog when he might be down, you may as well start booing the Blue as soon as they walk on the mat. Which of course I will take note of. SO FAR: McCallie: 2 Baylor: 1 Try these: I wonder who will be a 5 timer; Baylor's 103 or McCallie's 112 or 135? Who will McCallie throw against Whitaker at 125? Which two will have the best match? Which kid will be the most fired up? Can either team muster the guts to have even one hot cheerleader show up? Will McCallie bring someone up at 103? Does any one have scoop on the unknown heavier weight classes for both teams? Will the meeting place have a special on draphts that afternoon? You know, positive things! PS: I say Mayo's on Brainerd Rd for the meeting, but that's for the social chairmen to decide

Ok I admitt it. I had to copy and paste that post to microsoft word so I could spell check at least half of the words I used. Still can't figure out how to do spell check on CoachT. Will absolutly miss the "Irish" parking lot meetings. Nothing like getting bumped from the best wrestling venue of the year to make room for the girls. And these chicks don't even wear the same colored undies as the hotties did that came to our wrestling tournaments back in the day! Dont even like sorbet.

The real reason is much more complicated. As that D II is mostly (if not all) private schools, we have become accustomed to....how do I say it gently.....a certain minimum requirement for our dinning and lodging needs. Money of course being no object, it was decided that Nashville offered more of a venue that was at least satisfactory to these certain life style considerations. A freshly turned down bed, a mint on the pillow, sorbet between the soup and entree, a gymnasium restroom where the "untouchable" public has not left their DNA all over the place. Is this too much to ask? Obviously TSSAA agreed to our certain peculiarities and have acquiesced to our understandable wants and needs. We will miss you guys.....Ok.....so we won't miss you guys....just trying to be nice. Muffy, can you please bring me another bon bon?

From: Chattanoogan.com, BB Branton article Notre Dame won three of the first four matches and went on to a 45-19 win against East Ridge at home Tuesday to clinch the district duals title. Overall, the Irish (19-6) won nine of 14 matches, including four via pin. Mac Richmond (119), Dylan Heath (152), Pat Flynn (189) and Eric Phipps (285) all registered falls for the victors. Richmond posted the night??™s quickest pin, stopping John McIntosh in 1:00. The small school region duals are set for Thursday Jan. 24 at Hixson. The host Wildcats will face East Ridge, while defending small school state duals champion Notre Dame will face the runner-up to the Wildcats in that district. The two winners advance to the state duals in Clarksville, Feb. 1-2. Starting at 171, Ethan Nelson gave the Irish a lead (3-0) they would never relinquish with a 3-1 overtime win against Makal Kidd. Nelson scored the winning takedown 18 seconds into the first overtime period. Pins by Flynn and Phipps, sandwiched around a 9-6 decision by the Pioneers Michael Carter (215) put the Irish up 15-3 after four weights. East Ridge cut the lead to 15-12 on Corey Mansel??™s pin at 103 and an 8-3 decision by Larry Baliles (112), but could get no closer. Notre Dame then put 17 unanswered points on the board via a pin, forfeit and technical fall for a 20-point lead at 32-12 after nine matches. The Irish took three of the final five matches. ???We thought we could win nine matches, which we did, but the team score could have been closer,??™??™ said Notre Dame head coach John Mullin. ???We had a good showing at the Science Hill tournament this past weekend (second place with four champions) and kept the momentum going tonight.??™??™ Complementing the nine wins, Notre Dame had an 18-4 advantage in bonus points. ???We wrestled tonight better than in our 55-11 loss to Hixson last week, but we still need to be more aggressive,??™??™ said East Ridge coach Brad Jackson. 25 Wins: Erik Heider (25-16) reached the 25-win plateau with a 14-0 major decision against Quinten Stampfli. Heider also surpassed the 50 takedown mark with two (51) ??¦ Patrick Flynn had three takedowns for 100 on the season. Best Match: At 215, The Pioneers??™ Michael Carter defeated Brendan Dusevic, 9-6. Carter led 4-0 after one with a takedown and 2-point near fall. He extended the lead to 6-0 in the third period before Dusevic used a takedown, 3-point near fall and a stalling point to pull within one at 7-6, before Carter used a late takedown to secure the victory.

McCallie Cheerleader???? It wasn't my wife was it????? Lets see....1978 and my oldest child is 17 so that means.......whew, I'm in the clear. Anyone out their married to an ex-McCallie cheerleader who has a 30 year old child with curly brown hair, and loves dancing to "She's a Brick House"?

I never was any good with lawyers, politicians, or english teachers. Got me on that one. Yes, I care about all that. I'm just focused on what I can sink my teeth into a week from Friday.

Who cares about forfiets, team points or the next two years. For me, these are the stories to watch: Which team will look like the biggest fool by booing wrestlers or coaches? Who will be the big upset? Who will have a faster than expected pin? Who will throw the fresh move that was not properly scouted? Who is the most fired up? Maybe the most exciting moment is not even a win but a courageous freak out effort against all odds to put everything you got in 6 minutes for your team, yourself, the crowd, and of course for the "cheese" factor. Speaking of the "cheese" factor, I still want to know what happened to the cheerleaders? Lame generation of girls. They should be the ones demanding their rights to be center stage! The BLUE will be the underdogs and like all Americans, its the underdog we love (once again "cheese" factor comes into play). I would aurgue that the real winner is the wrestler that gets the most Facebook hits as a result of his match, regardles of the outcome. GO BIG BLUE

Never too early to start the gossip about the big showdown. My conservative prediction: McCallie by 4. I can see it now, both teams stacked in the lower weight classes. Its the "Battle of the Davids" I challenge the Blue and Red fans to prove to the community why parents kill themselves getting kids in these schools in the first place by: 1) getting pumped for your team, 2) get your schoolmates pumped for the big slamfest, 3) calling your buddies and making sure they and their kids come to the big match 4) Don't be late for the BCB and HT meeting, 5) is it too much to ask for cheerleaders? 6) Only praise for EVERY kid and coach regardless of color or history. Bad sportmanship on either side will be personally judged by me as that I have em in both schools and can't afford either, therefore I am one of the few that have the right to publically slam both sides for acting like jerks. I'll be taking notes! GO BIG BLUE

Yeah W90, just make sure its the entire 1 and 1/2 years. Not 1 and 1/4 of a year, not 1/2 year, and certainly not this weekend! And please make sure that special someone I know stays on the straight and narrow for the entire 1 and 1/2 year as well. I will owe you big time!

D II 2008 Resolutions: 1) Unlike Auburn still clinging on to Bo and Bama the Bear, as a D II fan I will no longer cling on to the great chair tossing episode nor bore the Coach T boards by still holding the blue accountable for decisions made a gizzillion years ago, dream or no dream. 2) Never skip reading CoachT for a week so I will never miss a BCB and HT's meeting notice again. 3) Try and convice at least one cute cheerleader to show up to at least one wrasslin match this year. Whats wrong with these young boys anyway? 4) If old, fat, and disgusting, never spar with an existing high school student Coach T poster once identified. 5) If young, sexy, and arrogant, never drop an opportunity to spar with an old, fat, disgusting Coach T poster once identified. 6) Coach T posters with too many mortages, pounds, and/or tuition payments can't be held accountable for anything they posted over 30 days old. 7) Once they bring your sisters into the mix, a Coach T poster can start asking questions about the other posters ex-hottie-girlfriends. 8) As the Beach Boys said: "Be true to your school" even that means you have a bunch of them. 9) Buy Bear Cat, Harry, Big Red, and W90 a big tall one next time I seem them. Though I suspect W90 might have to wait about 4 more years. 10) As that we are running out of time for this season, put more post on Coach T to ###### everyone off that can't be a BLUE fan!
