Trying to ensure a dry field is in the best interests of both teams.....as a matter of fact, we tarped the field that week in order to attempt to keep it dry.....the helecopters that came in were local and used the time hovering over the field as training time...there was no cost to the school whatsoever.

 

However, the field was wet Friday evening, and the area in the end zone opposite from the score board was relatively dry.....my understanding is that the last rain there was Monday for about an hour.

 

If the field was indeed watered, it was coaches and adminsitrators making that decision. The players from both sides played an excellent game. USJ adjusted their game to the terrible field condition, and pulled out a victory.

 

Wonder if the wet conditions led to the ball being slippery and caused that last fumble?

Ok Really are we all still talking about how DA watered the field. I am still wondering why all of these people from the BIG schools come down to the small league as they say, then almost get bet, and make up stupid excuses. There is no way someone would ever water the field down before a game. I know that Coach Wade is a great christian man and would never try to cheat or take away from an exciting game. i think that the game on the 3rd will be good and i think that both teams have done well this year. Maybe you all should talk about that instead of how you almost got beat by a team that no one in the state thought would be in the game at all. USJ got the offense going at the right time and enough to get a win.

I guess the thing to do would be to water the field down, risking injury to the kids, so it could be completely torn up so it would cost thousands to fix the field the following year :roflolk: ....All this talk about USJ and their 99 yds of passing offense is silly. If we take a knee on their 15, when we were up by 4 points already with 2:00 left in the game...With USJ being completely out of timeouts..USJ would be at home right now. We fumbled...and we lost. But to say we cheated by watering the field when the refs didnt start the clock for 3 plays, is so ridiculous. Maybe we did the same thing for 3 out of the last 4 years when we won state championships :roflolk:

Maybe we did the same thing to Harding Academy and Marlon Brown in Murfreesboro last year :lol:

Is this beat up on Davidson month? I believe this post was made just to whine. You beat Davidson, so shut up and move on to Knox Webb. Davidson's field is known for being a little mushy. This issue has been brought up time after time. Knox Webb fans brought it up because they were sore losers, but your brining it up as a sore winner? How much sense does that make? So please stop talking about how the conditions were or about the helicopters flying over the field. SO SHUT UP AND JUST PLAY FOOTBALL!

this may or may not work because it is a link to The Tennessean's archives which I believe they empty out (seems like) every week. You can however still read that the article was titled "September Rains turn Grass to Gunk". many middle tennessee schools aren't even playing home playoff games on their own fields due to the damage created by rain. so please drop this issue, Davidson didn't wet the field no more than say Maplewood or Stratford tried to destroy theirs.

    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
