Riverdale vs Lincoln County

[2priceless]

tdntn, so glad to see you back on here. I was thinking about you the other day as a matter of fact. You have been missed! Hope you and your brother are doing well. Don't be a stranger on here!

 

I have already done my rant about this fellow hanging around at Oakland and being allowed to use our indoor facility to bring in players from other schools. That is just asking for trouble. We had a whole little thread about this VERY issue. I said exactly what you just said that this guy is in things for himself. He wants his name in the headlights, and is all about chest-thumping and bragging on himself. I applaud Coach A for kicking him to the curb. Such a shame that Riverdale is going to get dragged through the mud. I am scared that Oakland will be added to the mix b/c of the association with this guy. He is trouble. If he really loved the kids like he claims, he wouldn't want them hurt this way.

Glad to be back, although it might be just briefly. I have to admit that I'm VERY out of touch with high school football these days. Its different when you don't have friends playing any more, I could look at all 4 Murfreesboro schools rosters now and know about 4 people total.

 

However, I have missed this board and all of its posters. Now a days, you can find me tearing up the forums of titanscentral.net, the Titans are like my passion in life LOL. And alot more media coverage and alot easier to keep tabs on...less than 48 hours til Pittsburgh gets the business...AND their towels stomped on again hopefully

 

Oakland vs. Riverdale game MIGHT be the only game I make it to this year. I saw a little of both teams on TV in consecutive weeks, but thats it so far, sad they both took L's. However, I was very proud to see a fellow Riverdale alum David Spurlock tearing it up on national TV last night, with spears on his helmet still! I like his chances at playing on Sundays! (Hopefully when I buy his jersey it will be a TITANS jersey)

 

The youngest Denney boy WILL be a Patriot next year, 5 years ago I never thought I would say that but I am completely comfortable saying it now! Hopefully he'll atleast give freshman football a try...I told him he can get a ring and some hardware

 

Go Oakland, Go Riverdale. In that order (LOL just playin haven't forget where I came from)

Im guessing that if you guys say who this devinner is who he is this will get cleared up quickly! If caoch A did'nt keep him around i'm guessing he was trouble and coach Mac wont allow it also! GO WARRIORS! GO PATRIOTS!

I have met and talked to Byron and i am not going to bash him or anything like that BUT I will say that he says he is here for the kids but the ones that gets penalized for these things are the kids so who is he going after. Not sure what the motive is here but we have 30 freshman not a whole lot of recruiting was done

Sounds like sour grapes to me guys!

What is odd is that he has already written a letter to the editor about this . That was about the time the thread started on here about him. So seems to me that if there was any credence to this, it would have been investigated then. I thought an individual couldn't file any claims with the TSSAA, only a school? Maybe I am wrong about that though? Sounds like if TSSAA has had his claims for 2 weeks now as it said on Channel 4 and was still investigating. So WHY did he go on TV? No mention of it on DNJ site either. If this doesn't seal the deal to rid themselves of him at Oakland.......

 

Just wonder if someone talked him into doing this for their own agenda?

[Frags]

Hey 2p, where is this letter to the editor? I'd like to read it.

[2priceless]

It was on the DNJ online site. Seems like back in July? Was this guy around when Rankin was still at RHS? I can't seem to remember when he arrived on the scene.

There was a link on here for the letter, but it doesn't work anymore.

This will be a blow out for Riverdale or M'Boro Elite which ever you want to call them. Coach Thompson is probably doing the best with what he has to work with.

I dont believe this for a second. This just reeks of ego. There may not be a guy who does things more buy the book than Coach A, . It just so happens that these supposed allegiations coincide with the end of DeVinner's association with Riverdale, or however that you want to put it. I have not exactly kept up with who Mr. DeVinner associates himself with, but it is obvious that any program associating themselves with this man will become a target in this inquiry as well.

 

I would like to see the charges, in detail, brought against Riverdale. DeVinner is a pretty gullible fella if it took him 3 years to put together kids he was talking to and their skill level as it pertains to the football field, and obviously, he isnt very good at his job, given Riverdale's slow decline from 2006 to 2008.

 

I obviously do not go to bat for Riverdale too often, but unless these allegations are proved to be true, Ill never belief that Coach A and his staff willingly made a deliberate attempt to recruit kids for the sole purpose of the success for their program.
