Alcoa @ Elizabethton--Semifinal

[orangeworker]

Good post and you are exactly right; all these predictions don't mean a thing. Two quality teams battling it out on the field; let the best team win and enjoy what these kids have given all of us "armchair qb's". GO TORNADOES!!

Thank God somebody else wants to see the game played and all the arm chair qb's to hush.

BC or APB - How do the Cyclones match up with you guys? I really figured you boys would be rolling with the Pics by now!! Good luck this week to both teams hope your game is injury free!!

 

Guessing Alcoa by 21

 

 

Hey BF#2............no pictures needed! There's already enough entertainment on this one! Crazy! Very typical comments from a school Alcoa has not played yet.

quote "Wheres a good place to go and grab some food before the game?

 

Ridgewood BBQ - located about 5 miles out of town on the old Bristol Highway. Be hungry you won't be disappointed.

 

 

I've heard good things about this place. It's the kind of place that Todd Blackledge would review if he was doing a game in the Tri-Cities.

 

If Ridgewood is too crowded, head up to Barker's.

Whur iz Bee Cee ?????????...............

 

I went to Cookeville and scouted out my seat........... And sum wur to git sum vittles....

And Alcoa BEAT Maryville(49-14) this year, and last I look Maryville is in the Semi-finals.

Good luck to Betsy players, but I believe they will come out on the short end and again get beaten by a Knoxville area team (like Maryville with the Wittens).

 

Come on EHS, the Maryville/Alcoa game was only 41-24.

 

Also: We don't refer to it as Knoxville area teams, it's Blount County area teams. We like to think we are the center of our own universe.

 

Technically a Cyclone could be referred to as an F5 also, since back in the dust bowl era (think wizard of OZ) alot of people referred to Tornadoes as Cyclones.

While I agree with some comments about the game, one major item is being obmitted. When was the last time a ETN team won a state championship in Football. It has been a loooooong time, and the reason is simple: Football is better in Knoxville, Middle and West TN. I am from ETN and would love to see Betsy win, but you can't argue with facts. Alcoa has won 5 consecutive championships...do you really think they will be "nervous" for this game? If anyone is nervous it will be Betsy, these current kids have never been here before. I was excitied that Betsy beat AE, but living in Knoxville and watching Alcoa and others (Maryville) year end year out you can't compare the talent.

I think we have 3 teams in the Semi-finals Sullivan South, Greeneville and Elizabethton shut out Greeneville, all that matters is the kids playing Friday. If you ask me Alcoa has the most to be nervous about, they would be the first team in 5 years not to make it to state. Our guys will just be having fun, they were not suppose to be there.

SERIOUSLY? A Hampton fan talking about people whining??? But, it does explain the spelling...

[UTKCLASSOF2002]

Alcoa should be nervous...they should be afraid....

 

There is always a chance Betsy could win b/c you never know what will happen on gameday, but seriously guys.....you're dreaming if you think Alcoa is going to be intimidated by their "surroundings."
