Now that I have finally "passed" all of the black fowl I had to eat last week, I am ready to make my pick on this weeks game.

 

South has the "mental" advantage IMO but the Vikings clearly have the "physical" advantage and are clicking on all cylinders right now. Unless South can get a lead and eat clock, I wil have to pick TN High this year.

 

Still not gonna say a blowout, just a decisive win. TH 35 South 21

 

I also agree with some others that this will not be the last meeting between these two this year.

Ok, ok…. I’ll take my question off the table since it seems to have practically shut this thread down. But I will give an opinion. For the Vikings I personally think Keenan’s injury is worse than anybody (outside of a tight circle) knows. Kinda reminds me of the Booby Miles and his situation in the “Friday Night Lights” movie. He’s been at maybe 70% at best most of the season. St. Clair is or should be (in all reality) done for the season. I think that has probably already been decided and is a known fact for those in the know at the South camp. Philips……. hummmmmm?? I think he could go this Friday, but Coach Carter has to decide if HE feels the Rebels really have a chance in this one… and if it’s worth risking CP aggravating his injury in what is expected to be a very physical game.

 

In this game… controlling the line of scrimmage is key. If the Viking can stump the South running attach early in the game, it will then just be a matter of keeping the South receivers in front of them at all times and shutting down the big plays. That will be extremely difficult with Waterson because we know the boy can run… but can he make the plays?? On offense… if the Vikings are able to control the line of scrimmage then they will run the ball down your throat until you prove you can stop it. If you are able to stop it… then the fun begins, because I’m sure they have a whole bag of TREATS made just for this Hollowed weekend. South will nickel and dime the Vikings to death with screens and short passes out in the flats. But I’ve never seen a nickel or a dime add up to 6… if you know what I mean. This will be a good one never the less with this being a very emotional game for South.

 

I kid around on here allot, but in all seriousness… I have to say that my hat is off to the South coaches, players, and families for a difficult but memorable season that won’t soon be forgotten… regardless of the outcome of this game. I think I can speak for most Vikings in saying that while we fully intend to beat you down this Friday night :lol: … the respect meter is on HIGH for the Sullivan South football program, players, coaches, parents, and fans…. and that will show out on the field and in the stands tomorrow night.

:lol:

I had a couple more issues. Are you going to block off the area behind the visitors stands and make the Viking fans PAY to park in the field at the bottom of the hill on the visitors side the way you did during the DB game? Tacky…. very tacky! dry.gif And you have to know greed brings bad karma. The other thing is… I bought one of those grilled hamburgers form the home side at the DB game…. absolutely delicious!!! :roflolk: You think they could make up a bunch and sell them on the visitors side? :roflol:

Cap, unless something has changed South didn't make money on the parking in the field. It is owned by the people that run the driving range down at the redlight. I'm not sure why they blocked off the visitor parking but it won't hurt you to park near the baseball field and walk. You're a former athlete. B) You can even buy a hamburger on your way over to your seat.

 

Speaking of paying to park, where can you park for free at TN High anymore? I love the signs "free parking, donations accepted" :roflol:

You know what rebel fans... MAN UP! Make a prediction and believe in our boys. Thats what sports is all about. You all make it sound as if we have no chance. Well I believe the boys from death valley might have a little something to say about that. We've had an up and down year, its been emotional, and had a lot of injuries to key players. The game is not played on paper, stats up to this point don't matter. When these two teams get together, its a battle. I very much respect these TN High Vikes, heck of a team. But call it what you want, I'll take our boys in blue.

 

THE Sullivan South Rebels 35

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
