Just out of curiosity, how do you justify such a large margin of victory given the 2 teams' performances against Ensworth?

 

I avoid predictions under all circumstances. But I think there is a world of difference between the Ensworth offense hitting on all cylinders, and the Ryan offense. I also suspect that Ryan's performance against Ensworth was a major wake-up call for MBA, in the even one was needed (something i doubt very seriously).

 

I think it'll be a very good game. I wonder what sort of effect the Ensworth loss will have on Ryan?

I thought Ryan might pack it in after the Webb loss which essentially eliminated their playoff hopes.

 

I suspect that their performance against Ensworth keeps a flame alive that they can still have the potential to be a "giant-killer" against MBA or BA. While the loss to Ensworth had to hurt, the fact that they were in the game until the end keeps them from the sense that their season has become completely irrelevant.

 

A win against MBA or BA plus the performance against Ensworth would take a lot of the disappointment away from what was once a hopeful season.

Without Darkwa Ensworth was 1 dimensional in the 2nd half. When you consider that 1 Ryan TD came on the opening kickoff return, the game wasn't that close. Watching the game I never had the feeling that Ensworth would lose until Ryan scored with 2 minutes to go. MBA will mix up the pass/run much better then Ensworth, and MBA pass defense is better then Ensworth's, Ryan didn't run the ball well at all against Ensworth. All in all MBA just might be a tougher match-up for Ryan then Ensworth was.

I would tend to agree with all of your points. I think they're a little short on talent, but they certainly gave an impressive effort. There's been a lot of trashing the Ryan team by "supporters" on here. For my part, I think they've represented the school well: they work hard, they give it their best shot, and they don't give up.

 

I don't know how the current Ryan students look at the MBA-Ryan game. I think at MBA, BA has replaced them as the great rival. For men my age, Ryan is still the game, and i would be extremely unhappy with a loss to them.

I would certainly like to see a good slaughter.

 

Has there been any update on Darkwa's injury?

I think Ryan still thinks of MBA as their number 1 rival and still feels that they have had a game or two "stolen" from them by questionable referee calls (e.g., phantom holding call by the back judge on a Ryan TD that might have cost them the game 2 years ago.)

 

That being said, I have heard Ryan kids basically say they dread playing BA and MBA. They need to beat one or the other to renew a true rivalry. Remember what Gerry DiNardo said about the UT-Vandy rivalry?

      Marion just jumped ER as the favorites in the East. Two big time transfers for y’all kinfolks. Bullseye has been set now. I said it the last two years it is time and both times y’all let me down. Can’t say you’re short on talent this year or that you’re young. Time to put up or shut up. Surely y’all can get over the hump this year. I’m just keeping it real

      Should have won by 30 last year if we played discipline at the very least. May have got 2 dogs up front but remember we have the best DL in the state on our team. Also added a 6’6” 320lb O lineman.

      Winds of Change Blowing in Trousdale.

      By Wingback08 · Posted

      Fortuitously encountering Clint amidst the ambience of Goodyear this morning sparked an impromptu yet intellectually stimulating conversation, wherein we engaged in a rigorous assessment of prospective candidates for the esteemed role of head football coach. Our discourse, characterized by its spontaneity and depth, led to the formulation of astute observations and discerning judgments regarding the suitability of various individuals for this pivotal position. Allow me to elucidate the fruits of our collaborative contemplation: This commentary endeavors to offer a discerning articulation of my subjective viewpoint, emphasizing a conscientious commitment to maintaining impartiality and refraining from any semblance of derogation directed towards individuals.  Those who possess meritorious qualifications for the esteemed head coaching role, delineated without hierarchical precedence, include: Rennard Woodmore, an esteemed alumnus of the Yellow Jackets, presents a magnificent pedigree, having held prominent positions in head coaching capacities across various regions. His pivotal role as a coordinator for teams contending for state championships further enhances his stature in the realm of football leadership. Kyle Gregory, erstwhile adorned in the resplendent gold insignia, though lacking direct head coaching experience, brings to the fore his invaluable insights garnered as a coordinator for esteemed teams, showcasing an acute understanding of the requisites for triumph whilst attired in the esteemed purple and gold regalia. Steven Jackson, whose contributions transcended mere clipboard duties under the tutelage of Kevin Creasy, emerges as an exceptional candidate for Trousdale County. His prior tenure and triumphs as an assistant coach underscore his suitability for the role. The sole drawback lies in his lack of affiliation with Trousdale County as an alumnus. Brandon Eden's extensive tenure within the chronicles of Trousdale County football, spanning a significant portion of its State Championships, coupled with his successful stints as a coordinator across diverse locales, underscores his candidacy despite a dearth of direct head coaching experience at the high school level. Davy Cothron, while beset by a modest playing career, has emerged as a luminary in offensive strategy, drawing parallels to the transformative appointment of Barker in 2015, thereby warranting consideration for his proven acumen in this realm. Joshua Hackett, notwithstanding his non-alumnus status, has left an indelible imprint across Middle Tennessee, distinguished by his adept curation of formidable defensive units as a coordinator at Watertown, albeit without direct head coaching experience. Kevin Creasy, the epitome of coaching prowess, merits an offer irrespective of his current inclinations, his unparalleled capacity to secure victories transcending geographical and institutional bounds, potentially extending to a role as Director of Schools should it align with his aspirations. Conversely, individuals who have not demonstrably earned the mantle of head coaching, enumerated without sequential precedence, encompass: Brad Waggoner David Barker Paul Pitts Jeremy Pruitt Clint Satterfield Robbie Atwood Wesley Satterfield Ben Johnson BJ West Whom do you all deem most fitting to assume the mantle of the next coach, and what rationale informs your choice? Conversely, whom do you perceive as ill-suited for the role, and what underpins your reasoning for their exclusion?
