Would like to know what everyone thinks about the Tennessean predictions, what do you agree and disagree with.

 

The list of top returnees & newcomers, who got left off and should be on the list.

 

And maybe someone could even throw out a preseason 8-AA Team to discuss.

Brandon's last name is also Johnston, not Johnson. He and Joshua are brothers. And my personal opinion is predictions don't mean squat.

Hey Owlsrule...........I agree they don't mean squat...but some of us didn't get much work in during the spring. We have to work on our pre season smack when we can. Predictions are the only thing we have right now.This is kind of like our jamboree.

D1, I saw on tv where you guys are having a terrible time withe the flu. Have any of the football players been affected?

[D1talent]

Yes several players came down with the flu. Some many that DeKalb had to drop out of the Jamboree at Livingston this weekend.

[TigerPride23]

There were 383 yesterday or the day before that were out of school. not every single one were from the flu but the majority and the rest were kept home to prevent them from getting it but either way it's getting out of hand.

I would say the Tennessean's predicted order of finish is pretty close. The Upperman-Livingston winner will probly finish 4th. Cannon is about a lock for last. I would have thought the paper would have thought more of Livingston because most of there starters returned. No more tough schedule to lean on now.

The Tennessean goes about as far as Smith Co. and then gets on the phone from there further east to find opinions. LA will be 3rd or better..watch and see. I think we will beat York and Upperman..The schedule will make a big difference in this team. This team will only get better this season.

 

GO BIG BLUE!!

I think Livingston finishes top 3. 2 4A schools, LA is one they are definately supposed to finish there. I don't see them as a favorite to top 3rd, though.
