Get a series with Cookeville! We'll travel!

You basically read my mind. I have family in middle Tennessee so I keep up with Region 3. I have noticed that Cookeville travels...alot. DB has played far out of their region before, wouldn't be suprised if they do it again.I notice Cookeville is playing non-conference games in Week 0 and Week 5 like DB is. DB has an open week in Week 6 and Cookeville plays another non-conference game in Week 6. That said, there are atleast 3 spots for this game to potentially be booked. The only problems that could surface would be the home and home series (have to keep the 5 home/5 away schedule) and that DB plays on Thursday night in Week 0 due to its proximity to Bristol and the Bristol race. What do you know about Cookeville's timeline on contracts with Knox Central, Cleveland, and MUS running out? We'll probably be having an opening in the Week 5/Week 6 game next year. Maybe we should approach our respective Athletic Directors.

 

DB

Week 0 @ Tennessee High

Week 5 H Elizabethton

Week 6 OPEN

 

Cookeville

Week 0 @ Knox Central

Week 5 @ Cleveland

Week 6 H MUS

 

I'd love to see DB's schedule look as follows next year:

Week Opponent

0 Tennessee High (Tri-Cities Rivalry Game) 4A

1 William Blount 5A

2 @ Knox Bearden R 5A

3 @ Oak Ridge (Chemical Bowl Rivalry Game) 5A

4 Jefferson County R (Homecoming) 5A

5 @ Cookeville 5A

6 OPEN

7 Sevier County R 5A

8 Knox Karns R (Senior Night) 5A

9 @ Campbell County R 5A

10 @ Science Hill R (Tri-Cities Rivlary Game) 5A

 

Although it won't happen, it's nice to think about.

 

We need to stick to the 5A schools or top 10 4A. No small schools in Va. or Ky. N

I agree with you WaCo. I'd rather not cross state lines. Wins and losses become very foggy when teams do that, fans become disenfranchised too.

where did you hear elizabethton wont renew? I dont think thats true but it could be

 

 

I've heard it from various people through the grapevine and it also makes logical sense. It's hard to rebuild a program when your playing a team that usually dominates its region, especially when it should be playing on the 3A level with school population. Agreed?

Elizabethton doesn't really challenge y'all to get better either. I would have much rather have traveled to DB than to Ohio! At least when y'all give your word that you would make the return trip you would have kept it. Can NOT say that for the Ohio team! /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Until Happy Valley and Bethton become one school that is........try that rumor for size.

Great thread.

 

D-B has the right idea and the dropping of South and Betsy will not hurt D-B in the least. The other thing that has hurt D-B recently is the weakness of their conference. Perhaps Gilligan will upgrade it but that is to be determined. BTW, I heard pretty definitively that THS was not going to renew the D-B series after '08 but is reconsidering after their freshmen buried D-B's freshmen late last year. Reclassification will also be a big factor.

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
