SR35 Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 hahaha, that is probably true. I saw Seth the other day and asked him about all of this, (interesting that he is not on here talking about himself, I kinda admire that) and this is nothing but motivation for him. He is working harder than ever, in the weight room, doing all the little things that make for great players, so everyone can run him down all they want, but I am telling you, he will be ready, he will be one heck of a player, and Golden eagle simply doesnt' know what he/she is talking about...I will take that bet, if you really want it, let me know and we can talk and put some real money on this one..the boy will be good, really good.

SergeantOwl22 Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 (edited) what makes me say that?? do you realize what it takes high major d-1a football??? i mean seriously how many guys out of the chattanooga area have actually made it there recently, i can think of 3 gerald riggs, demonte bolden, and greg smith, i mean yeah im sure there are a few more, but sec level d-1 recruits are few and far between...i mean take a look at matt peardon from boyd buc, he led the chattanooga area in rushing and set a new all time record for the city for most pts(or tds can't remember) in a season, and look where he ended up, carson newman i believe, which is not a knock at all because carson newman is a high profile d-2 program that contends for the national championship every year, but that just shows you the type of athlete/football player it would take to make it to that level...he just doesn't have the speed/size to do it, im sure he is a great football player,but alabama is a stretch..i'll go with grace golden eagles and will say that alabama wont even hear seth skogen's name..but with all do respect i hope he goes and proves me wrong because it is always nice to see local talent make it big 825625704[/snapback] Hixson Bullock twins Nebraska one will go pro this year after his Jr. year (Miami, Green Bay or Dallas) Red Bank Marty Love and John Becksvoort Central FG Auburn Brainerd Reggie White UT Green Bay Gary Tucker Miami Dolphins the list goes on and on Chattanooga has some good players I with you baller but never say never Edited April 14, 2005 by SergeantOwl22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldcoach Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 (edited) So we are talking about 10, maybe fifteen players from Hamilton and the surrounding counties in D1 in the last 30 years. Let's be generous and say 20. So 20 out of what, 15,000 or so players? Call it 1 in 1000. Or about 2 D1 players every 3 years out of all the fine players in Chattanooga. I'm rooting for Temple and Seth...but the odds are long. Consider that Boyd has NEVER sent any kid to D1...including Healy (who broke the city passing record) and Peardon (who broke the city scoring record). South Pitt (who has a much longer winning tradition than any other 1a school in the area...or state for that matter) has sent 1 in that time...at least that is all I know of. On the other hand Tyner has sent several kids to D1...so it isn't impossible. Just trying to bring everyone a little dose of reality.

mnewballer21 Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 He did and quit after the first year... 825647583[/snapback] no, he went there, and didn't quit after the first year, actually he didn't technically play for air force, he played in their prep school or wahtever to not lose a year of eligibility and then went on to play for the richmond spiders i do believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
