PS Playing club soccer does not prevent players from being tired. The difference between state and club is mental pressure. In club, you lose a match, so what, there are more coming, at state you are playing for the state championship and thats pressure, and thus you could tire more easily.

 

Bulldog - I disagree. I understand your passion for the high school game, but at this point, the girls in TN playing the highest level club ball understand that a D2AA state championship means you were able to outlast just 15 other teams in the state. While it is great to say you have won a state championship - TSSAA rulings have watered down the divisions and the level of competition, losing much of its impact along the way. True competition and therefore true pressure for results - at least for TN players - is in D1 club competition. It is in these tournaments that girls seeking to play college soccer feel real mental pressure to play their best. It should not be this way, but it is.

I have had the opportunity to see lots and lots of club games and high level high school games and I think the girls always, always want to win and are just as disappointed to not make it to club state as high school state. I can't see them thinking one is more important that the other. They are competitive and want to win them all.

The final game for state should be after a day of rest for the fans. That way, the issue of "tired feet" can't be thrown out as an excuse for losing. They will miss no more school and the championship can be early enough on Saturday, that they can travel home to save hotel expenses, if that is a factor. Memphis is 6 hours with stops and slow poking and you gain an hour on the clock, so play all four games on Saturday. Or better yet, lets reduce the number of Divisions before we find a way to create another one. :popcorneater:

H20Dog???? After your recent Drinking and texting episode have you now switched to magic dust?

Is the Leprechaun your connection?

We'll now know you as Shaggy's ScooBee...Rutt-Roo

 

 

I thought I was safer with magic dust until I heard what happened to you in Collierville. The license plate was personalized, "Canes".

 

The Police report read:

 

A man was driving when he saw the flash of a traffic camera. He figured that his picture had been taken for exceeding the limit, even though he knew that he was not speeding. Just to be sure, he went around the block and passed the same spot, driving even more slowly, but again the camera flashed.

Now he began to think that this was quite funny, so he drove even slower as he passed the area again, but the traffic camera again flashed. He tried a fourth time with the same result. He did this a fifth time and was now laughing when the camera flashed as he rolled past, this time at a snail's pace.

 

Be aware that you will be getting five tickets in the mail for driving without a seat belt. Don't drive and do dust.

    • We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life. 
    • I like the Pirates chances. I’ll be there as soon as work allows.
    • Stars, I heard we were searching far and wide for some math teachers. Any chance their kids bench press or 40 times are getting checked? LOL I’ve heard good things from 825.  
    • I think it was expected. “Bad” luck I guess to get a couple difference maker QBs in the same class. I thought the decision was made a little early myself, but they were struggling offensively last year.  I assume the running quarterback alco had last year would be a senior this fall, and the transfer would start the following two years in addition to getting a ton of playing time this year. Maybe he waits two yrs, but I doubt it. The kid is good. So is the one who stayed.
    • I'm from Cloudland and we've never played a sectional game.  We need to win tomorrow night to avoid that bus ride.  Us and north greene can play with you guys so I'm expecting good games whoever the matchup is.
