Future Clinic Bowls

[TMA123]

We all know that a BA/Maryville game would be a great draw and the Clinic Bowl would make a lot of money for a good cause. What other teams do you think would people want to see play each other?

[TDCman]

I think both Riverdale-BA or Riverdale-Maryville might draw some interest.

 

We need to get Hoover, AL up here to play one of our top teams.

The following schools would be great to bring into Nashville to play some of Tennessee's best:

 

Valdosta, GA DeLaSalle, CA Southlake Carrol, TX Hoover, AL

Cincinati Moeller, OH Byrnes, SC (maybe another team would have better luck than MBA)

 

The problem is what local Middle Tennessee teams could compete with any of the above schools?

To serve the purposes of the Clinic Bowl, which is primarily to make money, it would be great to have an ongoing series between the best consensus DII team in the area vs. the best consensus DI team in the area.

i would like to see Maryville take on South Lake Carroll.

As you know, there have been a few of Brentwood Academy's teams over the years - most recently the '95 and '96 teams, as well as a few MBA teams - most recently the '99-'00 teams (and to a lesser extent, the '03 team), which would represent Tennessee well if some semblance of those former teams were to reappear.

 

Let's face it - the Byrneses and Hoovers are national/regional names du jour, and have great teams currently (Byrnes was indeed awesome last year, and even one of MBA's great teams from the past would have had its hands full with Byrnes '05), but both programs are a coach and a decade removed from being programs having 4-5 losing seasons in the 1990s. My point is, while I'm certainly not trying to make a comparison of Tennessee HS football versus other states, I am saying that an MBA is not always going to be down (relatively) as they were in 2005, and that schools like Hoover and Byrnes aren't necessarily always going to be head and shoulders above Tennessee's best. MBA 2005 didn't have much luck against Byrnes, but that doesn't necessarily portend what future Big Red squads would be able to do against another state's best. The Bolles '99 and Trinity '03 wins by MBA certainly make up some for the Byrnes '05 debacle.

 

Valdosta would be great to get up here, for name recognition, but VHS has lost some luster, and is currently second fiddle in its own county.
