BulldawgDynasty

Nope, Just have to work for a living...............I'll catch up with this thread......give me alittle. Now that I think about it,

 

$20 CoachT Membership and $20 to the schools............Deal?

If Milan looses, and I have to write a $20 check to Alcoa, I'll also have to write one for $21 to Milan or I'll feel treasonous. So i'm really risking $41. I enjoy Coacht, but I would rather support high school football programs. I'll tell you what though. You bring your check book, and I'll bring mine. We'll settle up after the game, assuming you'll be there.

I don't get offended...I just exposed you for what you are, then you try to defend it.

I haven't seen this many whiney babies in a long time. Marion County talked a lot of trash, but at least they had fun doing it. You gotta be able to laugh at your self first before you can really take humor in others.

I am a clown and I know it. But I have the quickest wit around and you are bringing a knife to a gunfight.

I agree with you APB, a lot of people need to understand that none of us will affect the outcome of the game and that Coacht is all in good fun. Of course there are arrogant fans, on both sides, who enjoy getting under the skin of the opposing team. Like I said before, If ever there is a Milan-Alcoa thread without that, then I quit.

Yes, cans of Alpo dog food. You'll see him friday. I'll try to find a picture of Bone man. You'll hear him friday. He wears a big bone around his neck and barks the whole game.

BCSportsfan, are you ignorng my bet?

BCS, I have no problem with you or most of your posts for that matter. If ever there is a Milan-Alcoa thread that doesn't have over zealous fans arguing with one another I'll quit posting. Deep down we both know that this Friday our respective team will play the hardest fought and most important game they have ever played. One team will win, one team will lose, and every player will have done something most high school athletes never will; represent their team in a state championship.

As for your earlier attempt at a gentleman's wager with hufstedler; he isn't a gambler, I am. I've got a wager for you with different stakes. Coacht is sustained by advertisements, not plus memberships. Having a plus membership doesn't really afford any benefits. I have no desire to attain one nor to further yours. High school football programs, however, are not sustained by advertisements but by donations. Here is my wager:

If Alcoa wins, I will write and mail a check, payable to Alcoa's football booster program, for $20. I'll even send it to you if you assure me it will be given to the booster club. (so you'll know I upheld my end of the bet)

If Milan wins, I would expect you to write and mail a check, payable to Milan's Quarterback Club, for $20. You would have to live with the fact that you helped pay for our championship rings.

Deal?

That bulldog may be wearing pink, But it's also wearing a crown.---Dethrowning?

BC, what you have been giving us are about 10% facts. Maryville scored less than 20 against Alcoa is a fact. "There's no way Milan scores more than 20" is an opinion, or an option as you call it in Blount county.

Booker T. Washington scored 18 points against Milan in two games is a fact. Milan scored 99 points against B.T. Washington, also a fact

"Milan is not deep enough to play 4 quarters with Alcoa"...This is an "option"

No one doubts that Alcoa is good. Really good. You don't win 4 consecutive state titles and make it to the finals trying to make it five straight without being really good. It's also true, however, that Milan is really good. Alcoa is favored, and should be favored. But at least give Milan credit. This team has done everything they have been asked to do. They have won every game they have played. No, we didn't play Maryville. If we did, I think we would have given them a game just as Alcoa did, and we would have lost just as Alcoa did. We didn't play Henry County as we have in many years past because as someone else pointed out, we only have 3 non-region games to play. Huntingdon is our biggest rivalry; Camden's coach played in Milan and for that reason that has become a rivalry game, and Booker T. Washington was our homecoming game as they were yours.

I have no problem with you confidence in you team (or "confident's" as you call it in Blount county), but don't run our team into the ground to make yours look better. Alcoa has done their bragging on the field for the past 4 years. They don't need you to help them. Milan is happy to have a shot at state. We're going to take our shot and win or loose Alcoa will know they had a game.

Saban was in Milan friday night recruiting Cunningham is what Iv heard. That must mean somebody thinks hes a good back. I myself think it was a waste of time for Saban as Cunningham is not a physical back.

Saban was not at Johnnie Hale. He may have had someone else there watching Cunningham but he wasn't there himself. The crowd can see everyone on the sideline and I can see everyone in the press box from where I sit. Saban was worried about Alabama's game the next day. As for Cunningham, ask J.W. Williams if he is a physical back. He'll tell you yes. Our defense just did a great job gang tackling. If it's one on one, Cunningham wins. He will be a good player in college. Probably not a running back, but a saftey or return man. I'm glad we won't have to play him anymore.

Who is Alcoa's main back?

And how many players does Alcoa dress out?

In my opinion the state championship was played Friday between Marion and Alcoa.

And I'm sure your opinion is very crediable considering you haven't seen Milan play. If Milan gets blown out, then yes, the state may have been decided last week. But you cant make that prediction without seeing how Milan handels playing Alcoa.

The fact is, both Alcoa and Milan are real good. If Milan was going for their 5th consecutive gold ball, as a fan, no one could convince me that this year would be any different, so I don't expect to convince Alcoa that we will beat them. BUT, be prepared for a team that is better than many Alcoa fans think. Both defenses are great, and neither offense turns the ball over much so it should be a low scoring game.

To answer volfan5's question, yes. Milan has 2 players as quick as boo. #4 Tristin Peoples and #7 J.W. Williams. Neither are as strong a Boo, but they are very comparable in speed and quickness.

haha , ya it was an honest mistake , not intentional, Coach probably already had it express to Goodpasture and then had to send it you guys :] This is gonna be a great game , cant wait to meet you al in the Boro and see what your all about. To the Milan fans who actually know what they are talkin about , what kinda Offense do you all run? i haven't had a chance to see any of your film yet.

Milan is a power I team. We have been a Power I team for a long time. This year, however, we have the athletes and QB to run what ever offense we want. We have used a lot of spread formation lately. We can throw out of it with the best of them and we can run out of it whenever we want. We have started running our QB in a "Tebow" style also. If we need 3 yards we can hand to fullback, tailback, QB keeper, short passes, sweeps, or even take a shot deep. If we go into a spread, you HAVE to respect our ability to throw, but we really like to run. We can do a lot but when it comes right down to it, Milan wants to line up and run right at people. If we get stoped, we'll do something else and do it well.

Michie, TN's zip code is 38357

Milan, TN's zip code is 38358

Alcoa has won 4 state titles and hasn't lost to a 2a team in a long time. I seriously doubt they would resort to sending the film to the wrong town to gain an advantage. It was a mistake, either by the Postal Service or who typed the address label. I'm sure Milan has film right now. Our coaches know a lot of coaches across the state and most like them. Let's talk about the game and not mail screw ups.

From what I heard, Milan and Alcoa were working out a film trade and the film Alcoa sent us was sent to the wrong zip code. I seriously doubt that Alcoa would intentionally send the film to the wrong place. The Postal Service has been known to mess up. Milan will have film. They probably have film right now. Our coaches know a lot of people and most like them.

Well I have to go to work on "Black Friday" but I can't be too depressed because when I get off I'll be watching football. Just a few more hours.

I have no doubt that Goodpasture is a very tallented team and that Cunningham is one of the best backs in 2A. However, from what I have read and what I have heard from people who have seen them play, Goodpasture is one dimensional. Although it is possibe for tallented well coached teams that are one dimensional to make it to this point of the playoffs, they don't fair well against tallented well coached teams that are well rounded. Cunningham is good, but if Milan contains him, what will Goodpasture do?

Lets get it on.

 

I'd like to see Cunningham and Gilbert line up one on one tackling/running drill. I like Gilberts chances.

You act like it's in the norm to win a state championship. It takes something special. Are you a Milan fan?

 

And regardless of state championships, Milan is in the picture EVERY YEAR.

 

This year they are 12-0. Playing at home. IF they lose, I imagine the season will be a failure in your mind. Hater

As a former milan player, if you don't win state, you did not accomplish what you set out to do from the very beginning. From that standpoint, it is a failure. I failed. There is nothing wrong with that. It teaches you how to handle failure. Hopefuly, milan will succede this year.

nwtnsports, you said you were a milan fan for many years. Do you still consider yourself a Bulldog fan?

It wasn't just our guys, it was our fans as well. I was so VERY disappointed to arrive at the stadium, and look across Bob Parkins Field and see more BLUE then Purple on our own home turf. Then to recieve a call from a friend in Huntingdon asking me why there was so much purple there???? I was discusted with our so-called "faithful". We still had a crucial game on our hands and they opted to go watch who we MIGHT play next week. I wonder what they would have done had they not had to worry about the Nov. 21st game because the Dawgs lost?? Anyway off my soap-box now.

 

I really hope to see the Milan fans actually come to the MILAN game Friday!!

If Milan had lost, I would have been depressed for a week and then I would have supported Westveiw at home Next week. Had I known the Milan game would be as close as it was, obviously I would have been there. But nobody, including yourself, thought it would be very close. I will be in my usual seat in Milan next week, and if we win, I'll be there the next, and if we win, I'll be at the Boro in December. Don't question my fanhood.

I saw JCS tonight and they are good. Accurate passer and a stable of recievers. They also have a good run game and good run defense. They would be a formidible opponet for any team around.

Hopefully Milan will take the things that went wrong tonight, learn from them, and fix them. If we turn the ball over 4 or 5 times, JCS will probably beat us. We just can't afford those type of mistakes in the quarterfinals. If both teams play their best, Milan wins. I think Milan will play their best.

Not many games in West Tennessee next friday. Hopefully we'll have a big crowd.

Bulldogdynasty... The Pigskin Pals met last night and we voted unanimously to let you and another other fans join us to cheer on the Mustangs. You can find us at mid field on the 50 yd .line.. This new ruling in the Book of Order can be rescinded at any time. We all thought this would be a game by game request for those who might wish to become a Mustang fan for that particular Friday night.

 

Go Mustangs

I will happily serve dual fanship tonight and become a Mustang fan in addition to my true alliance with my Bulldogs. Obviously under the precondition that if both my Bulldogs and "our" Mustangs advance, my interim fanship with Huntingdon will cease with our handshake at the end of the game, and we will once again be rivals.

Following this hopeful future match up between My Bulldogs and your Mustangs, I will proceed to root for the victor in future playoff rounds.

Is there any way I can identify either you or hoofbeat or another coacht member who will welcome me despite the fact that I will be clad in purple? So I will know whose hand to shake in greeting.

By the way, how much is gas in Huntingdon?

somebody has said that they figure that with all the rain and mud that the game may have to be played in Martin on that new turf!

I think this is intended as a joke. Milan and Martin are both run teams and are not strangers to wet fields. Seems like we always play eachother on a wet field acutally.

Does anyone remember Martin's field in 2004? Not a blade of grass between the hashes, 4 inches of simi frozen mud. Our kicker kicked PATs from the hash so he could have a little bit of footing. Our white away jerseys were solid brown with a little red blood mixed in.

I know JCS can run the ball, but the heart of their offense is the pass game. The forecast for kickoff is 52 degrees and raining with temps dropping into the forties. How much do you think a cold wet field will affect will JCS?

You can have my seat. I think I'm going to watch Huntington.

I wouldn't consider going to a high school football game clad in anything but purple. Hopefuly the huntington fans will let me in. I've sat there during jamborees before and the fans were most corgile.

But all is not lost. Bulldog fans, remember 2003. Terrance Bell from Huntingdon didn't get a nomination. It really didn't bother him that much. He and the Mustangs went on to win the state title, and Bell set a championship game record for rushing yards and touchdowns scored.

Terrance Bell was a finalist in '03. Rod Smith however recieved the award. They were both pictured sitting next to one another during the ceremony on the front page of sports in the Jackson Sun.
