Eaglemaniac Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I think you hit the nail on the head. I did see Temple play, all eleven of them. yea -you're just ignorant- whatever, thanks for not reponding to my other comments (I LOVE BEING RIGHT) but for real there were games that other kids didn't show up- (meaning they played like poo and hurt the team more than helping...)

Green_Acres Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 yea -you're just ignorant- whatever, thanks for not reponding to my other comments (I LOVE BEING RIGHT) but for real there were games that other kids didn't show up- (meaning they played like poo and hurt the team more than helping...) Seth and Joey showed up and played in every game, even hurt. There is no argument here to the size of their contribution to the overall team effort. There were one or two kids that really messed up regularly and could have really cost us games like the one against Trousdale but there were also other kids who, knowing it was their last dance, stepped up and made up the difference. There were a lot of stars last year who stepped up with herculean effort. I doubt we will see another season like last year for quite some time. Kids playing like poo and hurting more than helping is a much bigger problem this year than last. We have had enough "unsportsmanlike" penalties to last a season and most or all of those have come from one kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadoffour Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I heard a rumor this morning that the TSSAA will announce its ruling Friday. I hope it's true. Let's get it over with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same kid who head butted another kid on the 1st play of the game last week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMagneticFields Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 What high school did he graduate from???? Thank you- I'll sign autographs later this afternoon.. LFO = Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe. Another interesting point to consider: didn't Temple go to the basketball state tournament in just their second year in TSSAA? I believe they played Austin East. They didn't win, but it goes to show Temple's basketball has been good for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good teams- maybe- not great- not region and freakin district titles every year untill the "McCallie skogens" came...weren't all the skogens' up for mr. basketball and then mr. football this past year???

Jimmy did go to Temple High though. I don't know what year he transferred to LFO, but I know he went to Temple High. So your statement about no one from Temple High playing for an SEC team is incorrect. If McMasters transferred to a prep school for his senior year (or a post-senior year) would you still say Grace had a player go play in the SEC? Temple's teams in the early 90's may have been only good, but playing against Grace made them at least look great. When's the last year Temple had a losing record in basketball? or even failed to win 20 games? (not counting any they may have to forfeit from last year...lol).

dadoffour Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Like I said- Temple has not produced an SEC player.... Who really cares? Isn't it more impressive that they've been so successful without any SEC-bound talent? And the fact that the Skogens helped TTA is another moot point. Jordan helped the Bulls, Jeter helped the Yankees, Eldridge helped the Eagles. What does it matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are not willing to identify yourself on this forum you are more than welcome to email me at rustonpierce@gmail.com Hey Ruston, take it easy on the kid. He is not hurting anybody. Most of us on here are old enough and experienced enough to not take him seriously and we also are familiar enough with Grace to know that he is does not represent what Grace is all about. As long as he stays within the boundaries fo the "Board Rules" he can express himself in whatever creative way he desires. I have wondered for a long time if he was actuall a Temple person posting on here to just rile up the Temple folks. We may need to be the ones telling him to be quiet and act right instead of you.

And the attached university is a perennial NCCAA contender. There's a lot of basketball tradition on Highland Park Boulevard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
