David Lipscomb vs Livingston Academy

[PPride]

3&out, yeah the screen name says it all. Huh? Typical, when you don't have an intellegent argument you start calling names. Yeah, I called Antwan naive, he is, that's not name calling. "Loser"? Next it'll be "Stupidhead". All of this from, "I think Lipscomb will beat Livingston". Portland and Carthage, not Smith County according to by Tiger brothers across the river, nuff' said.

I never directly called you "loser". I said your screen name shows that you are "A" loser! Read first and try to understand, if you can. I mean why not call yourself "I'm punting". Your name suggests that you're not going for it no matter what! That's what I meant, sheesh.........jump on the offensive why don't you! And as for your Kitty brothers from across the river........... they know Carthage "IS" Smith Co. High School!

 

"Nuff' said!"

I think Lipscomb should overlook Livingston Academy like the others have the last few weeks. If that's the case, they'll spend much of the 4th quarter with that stunned look, wondering what just happened. LA seems to be having that effect on recent opponents and their fans. I've not read all these posts, but what is the history between these two programs?

 

I did take note of the derrogatory remark made by Bombsquad about Hogeye. That's okay. There's probably not nearly as much to do "in Hog-eye" as there is in Mustang country. However, next weekend there's gonna be a HUGE celebration. Consider this an invitation. Starched shirts not required.

 

Good Post. Where is the party...haha..

Yeah we are just like the last 4 teams u have faced, keep thinking that. But see what u don't understand is we have Cates and listen to me when I say this, U WILL NOT STOP HIM. Nobody has stopped him, and nobody can because if u key on him our other backs will run crazy on u, or then we hit u up top with a bomb. They only way LA will lose is if Cates gets hurt, and that is very unlikely to happen. Somebody said we haven't faced a team like yourselves, we have faced and beaten 4 or 5 teams just as good as u or better. So keep hating on LA, and go ahead and say we just whine cuz when it comes right down to it the game will be decided on the field. LA 28 DL 14

I like his confidence.. But lets dont get too far ahead of ourselves. Lets just WIN.

Sooooo.....being able to pay tuition doesn't create an advantage??? I think you hit on something about "communities". How in the world do you think you can "sell" the idea of ...can't afford to live in Brentwood....but I have $7,000 a YEAR to send my kid to a private school.

 

Tell me how many losing seasons or mediocre seasons DL has had in 20 yrs???? Any community will typically have some of those years over time.

 

He has a legitimate point about the communities, ease up. If you look at the property taxes of Williamson County in Brentwood's school district for instance you will see a significant difference in those of areas in Davidson County. In addition you will be paying for a much more expensive house and a house is much more of a commitment than 4 years of paying tuition. In my time at Lipscomb, it would have been more expensive for my family to buy a house in Brentwood and me to attend public BHS. Yes, I could have saved money and attended the public school in Davidson County I was zoned for, but frankly, I felt Lipscomb was the best education and environment for me all things considered.

 

You are right; DL has had very few losing or "mediocre" seasons in recent times. We have established that they do not recruit, and that essentially, anyone can live anywhere and attend the school of their choice. If you can look past that, the most founded argument on DL's success may be that they are all products of a system. Not just a high school system, but they (most) have the privilege of playing together starting as early as 5th grade. They are being coached by the Lipscomb "family" starting early. Most teams that play together that long under basically the same ideas, systems, and coaches will be successful. However, in small towns the same argument can be made. If there is one high school, there usually are only one or two middle school feeders.

 

The public/private complaining really came out after DL won its first state championship in eight years. The previous seven it was more or less nonexistent. They have been blessed with four straight excellent seasons. Frankly, playing Lipscomb gives every team an automatic excuse before anyone steps on the field. The fact that they are private apparently helps a lot of people sleep at night after a loss, and it also brings out the best in all of their opponents.

 

Most people agree that the public/private debate is more or less pointless (reference the fact that it has its own board for fanatics to complain). Maybe they should be split up, but give Lipscomb a three year drought from the semi-finals and the talk will quiet down, again.

How much are tickets for the boro? Is it for all games that day or do you pay again before each game? Thanks in advance....

[Geezer]

Lipscomb fans know that talk is cheap, but even so, this much talk adds up fast... we have to save our money to pay tuition and have gas money left to get to the Boro. See you there and tighten up those chin straps Hogeye!

3. David Lipscomb vehemently denies they have an unfair advantage.

 

4. Antwan knows his David Lipscomb history and knows how to post some neat stuff.

I would add fact #6 - the Livingston faithful are providing plenty of locker room bulletin board material for DL!!!

Thanks for that highly intellgent reply. I don't think I would question anyone else's intelligence after that one.

 

Back to the point...LA has a good chance in this one if they take care of the ball. They have done that in the 2nd season. DL will be fundamentally sound in all phases of the game. They usually do not beat themselves. You have to make plays to beat them.

Cates and company have the ability to do that. It should be a high scoring shootout.

If the weather is good...the turf will speed the game up. Both teams have good speed. Cates will be hard to contain on that surface. The guy just makes unbelievable plays. He's difficult to beat. LA needs to play assignment football on the option. Don't forget the qb. By the stats...he likes to run the ball. DL won't throw too much unless they have to. Hillin is a good receiver. They will run an out and up at least once in this game.

Do you really think that matters in a title game? As has been said many times on here...If you need this for motivation...you are already in trouble.
