Clinic Bowl

[Verb58]

The reason I would propose it for the next season is because they played the Clinic Bowl during week 0 last year, that and Ronnie Carter will not let any single game take away from his 8 state title games. Playing it in week 0 doesn't really put the State Champs against each other just those 2 schools, kind of like a consulation game for the fans. Like I said haven't worked all the details out was looking for other input to see if we could get the idea make sense.

Ok, i see what you are saying.

You don't actually believe that the "powers that be" in DI would sign up for that do you? Why do you think there is a DII to begin with?

 

 

We have D2 in Tennessee because Riverdale couldn't beat Brentwood Academy.

I don't think a matchup has been established yet. A few months back, I had heard a potential MBA vs. Louisville Male matchup, but I haven't see any more development on that front.

 

What about MBA vs Byrnes in a rematch of this years Clinic Bowl? Would MBA like to have another shot at Byrnes or would Riverdale, Maryville, or Oak Ridge like to have an opportunity to play the Rebels?

As you are well aware, MBA will not shy away from anyone. With that said, the Byrnes game was a one-shot deal, established before the game was even played. I believe Byrnes has a game set up with Hoover (AL) in 2006 that precludes the Rebels from coming back to Nashville.

Memphis actually does somthing smart ... they take the best 3 DII schools in Memphis the previous year and pair them up with a good DI-4A or 5A school

Last year

MUS vs Bolton

Briarcrest vs Melrose

CBHS vs White Station

 

 

If they did it here

MBA vs Riverdale

BA vs Ravenwood

JP II vs Hillsboro

What Memphis does is called the Bridge Builders Classic, or Bridges Bowl. ( it is called both names) It is a great way to start off the season, as you have the top private school programs, and great 4A and 5A teams. On top of that, it is played in the Liberty Bowl, which is a great expericence for all the players.

Well of course BA and Ravenwood did match up in week 0 this season, and will again next year. Great natural rivalry and drew a huge crowd. Thanks to Coach Rector for scheduling it. I really do believe it helps teams in the long run to schedule tough opponents early.

 

That is a great event in Memphis each year. I think the Clinic Bowl was (and will be) intended to match up local powerhouses, and certainly that concept would draw a big crowd.

 

...but it won't happen, as we know.

Give Lussier another year and maybe Ryan could play Oak Ridge.
