Father Ryan VS Brentwood Academy

[big red big blue]

wow! Way to go Eagles....I have to say, now I am jealous of the fact that you actually got to use the mercy rule against Ryan and we didn't. Oh well, you can't get everything you want.

 

See you in a few weeks....as TO would say, getcha popcorn ready!

This may sound crazy, but if FR gets passed MUS next week, MBA doesn't need to overlook FR. I know that is a long way away, and that FR has to get there first, but it won't be very hard to overlook FR to BA for the state title, and the Irish could step in a play spoiler. That would make their year-putting MBA out in the playoffs.

 

And now that I am 1-1 in predictions this year, I will predict that FR will beat MUS(please) and then pull off the upset against MBA to get to the state title as MBA does indeed overlook the Irish. Get ready Irish, and John Brown don't post on here until we win a game.

 

Go Irish. And damnit BA, why bring out the starters? I only needed about 50 more touchdowns.

It does sound crazy.

 

Thinking about MBA's overlooking Ryan in the second round of the playoffs is a fine example of putting the cart before the horse. Nothing has happened to suggest that MBA is overlooking anybody. And with the thrashing Ryan has taken the past two weeks, I'm not sure I would think about anything other than surviving MUS.

I didn't say anything about MBA already overlooking Father Ryan in the semis. I also said that IF the Irish got passed MUS. So there you go. Hopefully we do beat MUS, and I bet that MBA hopes we do too, because they already beat us down pretty easy last weekend. But it is very easy to overlook a team you have already whooped on in the state tournament. As the past two weeks have shown, FR is not on MBA and BA's level. It WOULD take a great game to get passed MBA into the final.

I'm not up on my brackets -- who will BA get next week? MBA? It sounds like MUS vs Ryan? Time for the playoffs!

Father Ryan really stunk tonight. How is MUS doin the year anyways?

mus is 7-3 with i believe 6 shut-outs

MUS has one of their younger more experienced teams ever, but they are still very solid. Like CBHS they have been slightly inconsistent but both are peaking right now and look like they could both make a deep run in the playoffs.

John Brown, you need to let your play do the talking. Your offense has been absolutely shut out the past two weeks and your defense hasn't been able to pick up the slack.

 

I suggest you practice your tail off and be ready for the playoffs.

 

Come on man just because the Offense can't make first downs doesn't mean the D isn't doing their part. They have to have time to catch their breath. Three and out just isn't any good...Irish we need to get it up and Score some TD's let's go Senior's get your team ready to play in the playoffs. Roll Pride Roll.

 

Go Irish

Chris Jordan came out like an unstoppable bull.....the best I have seen him play (comments were the same from others in the stands) in the first half this year, two quick TD's....12 rushes, 100 yards....but mainly all in the first quarter (first two drives)....After a few series, I watched him take himself out of the game and not return for a while. He came back after several series with both ankles highly taped on the outside of the cleats. He played sparingly the rest of the 1st half, and very little in the 2nd half. This "high ankle sprain" appears to be a reoccuring injury for him for most of the year. I don't remember the term "high ankle sprain" back when I was at BA. I know we had them back then (high ankle sprains), but a sprain was a sprain....get hurt Friday nite......ice it, tape it up and return to practice on Monday and play through the pain until it gets better through naturally healing over a week or so. You pretty much had to be dead to get out of practice or a game for Coach Flatt. Kids played with stomach viruses, flu, high temperature, migraine headaches, splitting headaches because we were brutal hitters and had inferior equipment (believe it or not, alums will tell you this is true, as the school did not have a huge endowment) and practices were beyond intense where we would literally kill each other (alums....remember The Box???.....4 cones and one player against sometimes the whole team! It was all too common for a player to be literally knocked through the practice field bushes into the gravel parking lot below, and the hits still came. In his day, Coach Flatt was the Bear Bryant of TN HS football...you would either sink or at 14-15 yrs old, become a man quick to stay around. You had to be beyond tough to play for him. To this day, I am appreciative of his time in my life, as he taught us lots about life and toughness), nausea, throwing up through your facemask in the huddle OR on the opposing team in a pileup, separated shoulders, broken collarbones and other broken bones, MAJOR ankle spains where your ankle was twice the size of the other and your foot was black and blue with strained ligaments and tendons (CF MIGHT let you slide on a game if you had MAJOR reconstructive surgury. Many surguries were done at the end of the season, since what was hurt was hurt as bad as it could be, and no sense missing a game).

 

As CJ has played sparingly(vs. Ravenwood 2 carries, JPII 5 carries), if at all (did not play against MBA, which was BA's only loss, or BGA..... no carries in either game....dressed for both but stood on the sidelines) in several games, and he plays nowhere on defense, this must be a very bad injury. Any word on his condition? The paper mentioned this in the Dandy Dozen this past week regarding his continuing injuries. Sophmore Josh Tate has done a great job in filling his spot, but the team really needs senior leadership in Chris Jordan being on the field going into the playoffs. When he is on, and plays hard, he is tough to beat, and the offense seems they really want him in there when he comes in the game. He brings a major element to BA's game when he plays hard.

[Gentle3000]

With this game, MBA and BA have seperated from the pack. Clearly #1 and #2 and with FR being speculated at #3 after being thrashed by both.

 

Either BA or MBA should win state.

Sounds like a team that is in the process of self destruction. Fans all over their players (on the board) and "terrorist" w/ his pitifullllll post on getting to play MBA again (please). I think MBA has been the most focussed team in DII, nothing indicates that they will overlook anyone.

 

Should have told johnbrown to stop posting during the week instead of after getting beat-down. I wonder if you had won the game tonight if you would have made that comment to johnbrown, or called him a genious (step up next time).

 

Congrats BA
