I actually like all of the Cosby posters that I've met. The other back you are referring to is one of my all time favorites from Hampton, but he just wasn't the back Adam was. He waasn't as strong ,big or fast. Hampton was not even close to 100 percent and still won. It took Hampton about 3 weeks to get over Adam being out, but they did get over it. He was sorely missed.

 

 

Somebody call Adam and make sure he gets to read this post /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

i would hate to say that hampton got better when i got hurt.... but on thing it did help them do is to learn how to pass.... and not just pound it on the ground every down... jon lyons was a great reciever and me and him both tried to get the coachs to throw the ball more....hampton is the better team and has been for the last 4 years....

 

cosby does not have a better team than hampton they have a better special team.... and had a much better coaching staff that game......

Those kicks were not tricky or even something Cosby was doing to get the ball. Hampton just blew it. Grace kicked it the same way.

 

 

IMO It would be hard to practice for those because his accuracy was amazing. Most kickers would probably have to try a bunch of kicks to get that kind of placement. And (I'm guessing) coaches don't want to "waste time" while their kicker tries to put in that spot. Again I'm guessing or just putting this out for discussion because I don't claim to know anything about football /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

Hampton was the LUCKY team Friday, lucky they didnt get humiliated by the Eagles, three trips to your red-zone in the first half, and a dropped pick-six, if you add that up without the PATs and its a 50 point night for the Eagles! Yall were better than us the past few years and this year we are better than yall, not just one game better, but better on average, we recovered 4 pooch kicks, not onsides kicks, and blocked a punt, we also physically abused yall the whole game, wether you want to admit it or not, 2008 Eagles are better than the 2008 Bulldogs. The only thing that stopped us Friday was penalties and ourselves, and thats also the only thing that helped yall score 22 points. Yes, in the past Hampton has been traditionally better than we have, but this year the Eagles are the better team, oh and special teams just happens to be quite a big part of the game, just ask anybody who plays Virginia Tech or look at General Neyland's Game Maxims, so us being better at special teams was an important part of that game Friday, but we were better everywhere else to. I am a Hampton supporter as long as they are not playing the Eagles but yall need to quit drinking the koolaid, at least you do this year, its gone bad boys, its gone bad! Good luck the rest of the year and I HOPE we will meet in the playoffs to settle it once and for all, but according to some people we might as well just stay home on playoff night. /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Coaches don't like putting the ball in the air If they can beat you by running the ball. Hampton had to mix it up alot more after Adam went down. Worked pretty well after they got used to it. Chucky Doak nearly beat them while they were trying to adjust. Iwouldn't say ,Hampton got better , they just used more people. Michael and Jon tyrned into quite a show.

We only have two juniors on our KO coverage team, and neither one of them recovered either of the kicks we got, actually a freshman recovered two, nice excuse though, and yeah we did both make mistakes and its a good thing or we wouldve really pounded that hinny! /blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" />

Plain and simple, Hampton stunk it up on special teams. Even with Cosby keeping the ball the whole second half, Hampton had nearly as much yardage. Now if Cosby got this kind of stuff on special teams all the time, I would give them the credit. Let me know when this happens the next time.

O.k. good luck the rest of the year, like I said maybe we'll be lucky enough to see each other in the playoffs.

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
