Alcoa's opponents coming into this game are 92-52 while Milan's opponents are 86-74. Alcoa's schedule will have them more than ready for this game. Definitely hard to say that Milan is Alcoa's toughest opponent.

I am sure that your info is correct. If it is that means Milan's opponents have played a combined 16 more games than Alcoa's opponents. How is that possible being as everyone plays 10 regular season games? It must mean that Milan either a)played more playoff teams, :shock: Milan's opponents went farther in the playoffs, or c) all of the above. I believe c might actually be the answer.

 

 

Not so fast with your comeback. Do research before you reply. The reason for more games from milan opponents is because Alcoa's record does not include the teams they played 2x (on 2 occasions). Since you are so fast to argue for Milan, let me include those games. That would make Alcoa's opponent's record 112-57. Geeze....I was trying to give you the advantage.

Well I remember that game and Williamson was very impressive, but I don't recall that there was ever any real concern on Alcoa's part :shock: This is a different year, however I believe same results, but with a few surprises along the way. F5 sets another record with a 6th consecutive Gold Ball

 

If there was no concern then why did you have to run a trick play to score your first (I believe it was your first) touchdown. It was because you had tried to run up the middle but got stopped. It was a nice trick play that was successful, but trust me you would not have run it had you not been concerned.

 

Toney is a very good player with a very good o-line. Somebody used the word patient to describe him and I would say that is very accurate. He doesn't seem to outrun his blocks. The two packaged together with a very good fullback is a tough game to plan for. Hopefully Milan's O can keep Alcoa's D on the field for long periods of time. This will wear on all those boys that go both ways. The 3 and outs were a big problem for Milan last year. Once Milan started staying on the field on offense, Alcoa got tired and was not as effective when they got the ball.

I would worry about getting Alcoa's offense off the field before I worried about wearing down their big D-line.

Disclaimer: This is not a real tornado. No cows, purple bulldogs, trees or houses where harmed in making this CARTOON tornado. This is to be used entertainment value only and should not reflect any damage to the greater Milan area. Any resemblance of the purple bulldog to the milan bulldog would be considered a false claim as said bulldog is a purple - pantone 2725C and not milan purple that is a pantone 272 C. :shock:

No doubt your D-line is good, but I was specifically talking about your qb, Toney, Tyler, and your fullback which go both ways.

Good point! But they won't play both ways long the coach will put the F3 in after the F5 goes up 3 scores early.

Tyler has been used more on defense in some games. They tend to rest him in games where they feel they need him the most. The fullback Tyson....normally doesn't play on defense unless there is an injury. Warren sometimes plays FB and he is a beast on the DL. The QB never leaves the field (he's not going to wear down, he's done this all year). Toney goes both ways but he won't wear down (he gets 15-20 carries per game consistently).

QB does play a lot on defense, but Toney plays just over half the snaps on defense, Robinson actually does not play half the snaps on offense and what fullback are YOU talking about?? Tyson plays absolutely NO defense.

You are just as arrogant as you were last year. It is that kind of blind arrogance that is going to lead to a deep depression when Alcoa does get beat.

Heh....I figured that it took Milan three years to get over the Goodpasture hump, It will take at least that long before you will EVER corral the F5.

You will continue to be on the outside looking in. dump.gif

    • A complete cultural change happened at Greeneville and the administration and community opened up their checkbooks.  What a lot of people don't know is Ballard was Zeller's OC for many years and stopped coaching for two years because Zeller and Ballard didn't see eye to eye on some things.  Zeller lead Greeneville to it's first ever Semi Final appearance in 2000 and lost 28-12 at Maryville and had them in the Quarter Finals in 2002 and 2003.  Z was a great coach but lost some control when it came to making workouts mandatory. (He learned from that Mistake and it was at LC when i coached with him.).  Z was let go going into my Senior Year and was replaced by Steve McCurry who was the one that turned the program around.  Steve had won a 4a state championship at AC Reynolds in Asheville and made the administration completely redo the weight room with new equipment, had a football period at the end of the school day to lift, started devil camp, and brought in coaches like Danny Bentley (Still the OL coach), Ballard as the OC, Cody Baugh (QB coach and still there), and even Spradlen who is Greeneville's head coach now as the DB's Coach.  McCurry only coached for two seasons at Greeneville and took a team that had a losing record the year before and finished my Senior Year making it to the Quarters and having a 10-3 record and then followed it up with a Semi Final appearance the next year with an 11-3 record and back to back conference championships.  Loved McCurry to death but the recession hit and the story i heard was he was still buying new equipment for the team that the Principal didn't authorize and his response was "I don't answer to you and only to Niswonger and Bewley" (Two huge donors).  That was it for him and they Promoted Ballard shortly after that.   Greeneville had always been relevant ever since the the late 70's under Coach Fred Sorrell's.  Since Sorrell's took over in 1977 Greeneville overall winning percentage is over 76%.  The biggest reason people might not have thought Greeneville was "Good" until Ballard was Greeneville always played up Classification wise and could never get over the hump. (When there were 3 classifications we played 3a, when it went to 5 we played 4a).  Greeneville is the largest its ever been with 953 students and where playing teams 2 or 3 times there size back in the day (I had a little over 800 kids in the school when i graduated in 2008).  Other teams always would know they would be sore after a game but depth took over and never won a Championship until Greeneville played in the classification the TSSAA actually assigned them. You had names like Dustin Moore (1993 Mr Football for 3a and who Phillip Fulmer said was one of the greatest athletes he ever recruited), James "Mud Turtle" Mayes, Brigham Lyons, Byron Gillespie, Frankie Debusk (National Champion Qb at Furman with GQ), Jasmine Lowery, Cody Baugh, The Greenway Brothers, Joe Watson (Furman), etc.  Now the cultural is from the Pee Wee league up and you grow up as a young kid wanting to wear the Greene and White.  Here is a really good link when it comes to anything Greeneville Football related. https://greenevillefootball.com/   I also don't coach anymore.  Z told me i was to smart with how the school systems are ran these days and ended up going into real estate in Knoxville which has been a great decision for my life.
    • Yes, they will. I'm wondering what kinds of strides Sale Creek will make heading into the second season under Coach Fitz.
    • No yellow stripes on the rug last night. Biggest crowd I’ve seen at 825 since the alco debacle. 
    • I know most Pirate starters were seniors last year. Im not sure how accurate it is but someone said we only have 3 seniors. That Prep team will probably make some noise this coming season too.
