SCN08FearTheSpear Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Yeah by a field goal against the 4A state Champs that has 3 X the students his new school has. His team was an underdog that exceled. I think Riverdale was favored in the game against the blue. I wondered why he left. Now I know why he left the Warriors for a smaller program. How will U Warrior fans fill if Rankin and the little 2A team beats McCallie? Man if that happens U folks might hang someone on the Murfreesboro town Square. right we should have won this game we dominated them through out the entire game but luck is luck and thats mccallie Well, since Alcoa and McCallie have virtually the same enrollment in grades 9-12, I don't think anyone will feel bad at all. You brought this up on an earlier post. By your tone you seem to think that Alcoa is this poor little 2A school that gets beat up on. i know who cares that they are a 2a school they are onw heck of a team a should win state Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ole Dad Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Alcoa is a public school that competes with Maryville for kids. I don't this it is quite the same situation as McCallie but I bet Rankin will be happy to play them.

My point was that technicallly, McCallie's upper school is really a 2A school, 3A at best, in terms of enrollment. McCallie has about 890 students in grades 6-12. If you just count the upper school (grades 9-12) they're not a big school at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4-6-3 Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 I'm A Little Upset I Wanted Riverdale To Go Undefeated Until Week 7. Because There Is No Way The Warriors Can Stop Smyrna This Year. Revenge For Years Past And Now Riverdale Is Just Gonna Look Bad Oh Yeah And Can We Say Cocky...LOL. I Mean They Nealed...Morons! You Can't Even Put All That Blame On The Coach The QB Should've Done Or Said Something Instead The Choking Sting Of A Loss ....Ouch That's Gotta Hurt. Were you even alive the last time Smyrna beat Riverdale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Old Dad Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 First off, Congratulations McCallie on the win! Second thing, is I do NOT hate anybody. I do not hide the fact that I didn't 'like' Coach Rankin. Our combined personalities did NOT mesh period. Not his fault, they just did not jell. Do I like his Coaching 'style'? No I do not! I think kids ought to be told when they do wrong, but quietly. One of the first things I learned at Officers School in the military is Praise in Public, but Criticize in Private. As a leader I took responsibility for EVERYTHING my troops did. I would NEVER tell them I was NOT going to ride with them because they lost something. You win together and you lose together in my book. Does that make him wrong? Nope, but don't expect me to get on here and say it is OK if I disagree with it. This season is too short to get our combined shorts in a wad over just one game. Coach A, I don't understand not taking a knee, but it is NOT my place to second guess you over it. Coach A showed ALOT of class taking the ENTIRE responsibility for last nights loss in the paper today. For that you get a big from me as a fan.

footballisgreat Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 SCN I understand your a young man who was part of a painful loss last night, but I can assure you luck had nothing to do with it. McCallie practices everyday stripping and recovering footballs. They practice everyday getting their hands up to tip passes then intercepting them at the highest point. They practice their 2 minute offense several times a week and yes they practice the hail mary at least once a week. I know Ive seen them do it several times. I call that being prepared for the oppotunities presented you. Riverdale played a fantastic game, but some poor decisions were made and McCallie was prepared to take advantage of them. Keep your head up and look to the future, I think your team has a bright one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncfan13 Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 I was there but here's the question. Were the offenses that good (only two punts each and almost 900 yards of total offense) or were the defenses mediore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgif-football Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Lets not praise coach adelott to much for taking the blame. The loss is his fault. Who does he want to blame, the players? He is in over his head, yet the team is drowing because of it. Things dont look to good for the Warriors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
