QUOTE(nick27 @ Apr 24 2007 - 11:01 PM) 826444684[/snapback]champions of what???????????? Enjoy the win. Wait till it is 1 and done

 

 

Champions.... you know, those teams that don't whine... There is nothing more irritating than a group of 11 whiners on the field that complain and complain about bad reffing or field conditions... Honestly, if your game relies on perfect reffing and perfect field conditions, you don't deserve to win in the first place. I understand that bad conditions make it harder, but the champions get it done as opposed to whining about it.

I am sorry to say that there is something rather nostalgic about walking onto a field of pure clover and feeling the absolute bliss of watching the level pass hit a bump and miss direct a ball into the back of the net. I am one who would always argue that the perfect mix of Fescue and a winter rye will yield the ultimate playing surface. One just cannot compete on anything less. It almost becomes hard to hide ones composure when a green playing surface opens up to a victory. I will agree that that a bad field allows a very different play. Next time we should find a neutral site with a knee high, overgrown swamp grass and see who emerges without a snake bit or some random disease undiscovered here in the US. Better yet, let’s just take the game to a new level and play on a mixture of a grass mid-field with a concrete 18 yard box and a sandbox six. This would be great, a bad keep could then build a sand castle and kick it at who ever is attacking them thus allowing the chance of sand getting into the attacking players eyes. I think the game would be great then.

Congrats to CHS that was a tough one I am sure. Next time I do feel that if a fescue hybrid cannot be found that a new offspring of grass needs to be planted and produce a hybrid form Zoesia (SP). Ohhhhhh baby that would be nice... Green field here we come.

I agree artificial turf would be awesome, you wouldnt have to worry about hybrids, or crossbreeding, or underseeding or over watering, about limestone or sandsttone or crabgrass preventer or fertilizers or artificial enzymes.

yeah, I agree completely. plus, they didn't score anyway

Have you not figured out yet that it wasn't someone from Brentwood talking about the field conditions?

i agree with this and your other posts. i think you were right about saying a 30 to 1 hybrid would be great. i think it would produce great control over the ball and your touches. i also think that the artificial enzymes u mentioned would work wonders for the game of soccer.

    • Good ole Bradley Zulliger. He was a really good QB @ OR. Fun to watch.  Wore #15 and was like a mini Tebow, with the exception of being right handed. He could take a pounding and keep on ticking. Played with a collapsed lung against Powell that year. Tough as nails.
    • They should be pretty good in year two for Rang.  Replacing most of the offensive production losing Dozier, Hayward and Rembert , but they're are skill kids in place ready for their shot.  I know I say this every year, but the o line should show improvement after two years in Rang and Kevin Day's weight program.  I still would favor West over Plow and OR come November.  The Rebs will have to grow up a bunch between now and then, and will probably take some lumps along the way with that schedule.  But I predict come playoff time they will be ready.   One of their coaches half joked to me that they could go 5-5 regular season and win the state championship.  Ha ha.  
    • there will be a couple of teams,that could make some noise
    • Dyersburg may win back to back to back championships. They are going to be hands down the best 3A team. Plus their District/region/sectionals are not very good. They basically just have to make it to region out of a 5 team district that has a few decent teams. South Gibson will be okay but they graduate their best player and there is nobody in the region 7 or region 8 who is going to compete with them. 
    • I remember very well watching things change in the late 80's and yes it's all schools. Most people that are in charge today have any idea because they were raised and taught under this social experiment so they don't have a clue. Anyone that does see the truth for what it is usually try and hide it by blending in so that the School Gestapo doesn't round them up and take them to the Fuhrer ( kindly putting it ). Yes it is all schools not just Maryville. This train ride is not headed in a good direction and if the public had seen a movie of what's happening now back in 1980 everyone would have been headed home afterwards to change underware.
