Probabaly the dumbest most un-informed post I have ever read here. I would put Memphis talent against any school you wish to put up overall. Good grief that was stupid.

My mistake. I meant Memphis programs were behind the Nashville and Knoxville programs.

 

I am so sorry. Please forgive me. I am so ashamed. That was stupid.

Hey man, I was just responding the statement of talent, as far as coaching goes, Memphis Public schools has the WORST HS coaching in the state. They cannot develop talent or they cannot discipline their teams. If the public schools could get the talented kids to even play football, and develop them into players then Memphis would dominate year in and year just because of the shear size of the city. There are a lot of kids who are much more talented than the MUS players, they just don't have the coaching. Memphis only has so much funding that is provided for HS sports, it is not a good situation in that town.Top

Your first post was preceded by my post:

 

"Can't disagree with you there...while Mississippi has won a disproportionate share of its games against Tennessee schools, in many cases, we are sending primarily our Memphis-area schools against schools from all over Mississippi. I think it's fair to say that, of the main areas of Tennessee, Memphis programs are behind Knoxville-area and Nashville-area programs in terms of talent, so Mississippi isn't necessary getting a good geographical sample of Tennessee schools to play."

 

I meant to say "talented programs", not "talent". Sure, as I wrote it, it didn't make sense, because Memphis does have, probably, the best talent in the state - it's just poorly coached, or socio-economic factors keep some athletes away from the playing fields. Was a resonse warranted? Sure. But one as scathing as "the dumbest most un-informed post I have ever read here...Good grief that was stupid."? I was hoping that you may have read some of my previous posts to give you some anecdotes to allow you to second-guess if I was really that dumb or stupid.

 

I corrected my mistake, but I thought an apology may have been in order.

 

Anyway, we need to kill this minor tussle. We all could have chosen some words better, whether in pleading our case or assessing someone else's case. I had to respond to plead my case, as there are probably thousands of "dumb" and "uninformed' posts on this site where the posters aren't making honest mistakes, thereby precluding mine as the most (accidentally) egregious on the site.

 

Anyway, I (we) can't move on by bringing it up again! Allow canines in repose to remain in a prone position.

RRR, don't confuse the poor folks on here. Just say let a sleeping dog lie.

I agree and I apologize to you for the whole misunderstanding. Let's move on, it is just kids playing football the game we both love as you can see. With that said, who you got this Friday night?

 

BA vs MBA

 

FRS vs MUS

 

I think MBA in a close one and MUS should win by a 2 touchdown margin.
