BIG 8 in Week 0

[bud]

So now we know why DB is not a legitimate 6A football team.... you got a bunch of punks walkin the crowded halls. Thanks for enlightening us 4DB... even though you still can't grasp the 5A vs 6A thing. Let me fill you in on East and Virginia High since you insist on bringing it up. For your info... this is only the second year that East hasn't been in the same classification (and conference for that matter) as THS. In the 30+ years we have played, East has NEVER won a game on the field of play. But I bet you probably didn't know that because we don't go around shouting it form the mountain tops unlike the mighty tribe does to ALL of the teams in this area. It's called respect... something you obviously don't know about. The games against East and Virginia High go far beyond just rivalry ... it helps this community it many ways. But I would be foolish to waist my breath trying to explain it to someone that can't grasp the concept of different classifications in high school sports. This explanation would be WELL above your pay rate. Let me ask you somethin... what has playing all those teams from knoxville and beyond ever done for DB? You're still gonna make your annual exit in the first MAYBE second round.... AS USUAL. You and BUD talk about playing all these big time teams, but you have NOTHING to show for your efforts... so what's your point????!!!

 

The point is DB regularly plays and beats teams outside of upper east TN. Nobody else does from that area.

Hey,sorry I started a thread asking for conference game predictions. It was going pretty good till Bud showed up spraying his D-B testosterone. I guess I shouldn't have suggested the Big 8 would be strong this year. Let's rename the conference Roll Tribe and the 7 dwarfs. Don't know about Tn. Hi. but since South beat KNOXVILLE West, and KNOXVILLE Powell, and KNOXVILLE Catholic just last year, we would have to have around 300 losses to schools west of Morristown in the 30 year existence of our school to support his 99.9% losing record theory. Bud you are sounding more like WaCo every day. You guys twins?

Hey mouthpiece did you go to the almighty Tennessee High? Well if you did you would know the Vikings run their mouths year after year about East and how they are country hicks and hillbilly trash. I don't call that respect. There are butt heads at every school but Tennessee High leads the pack!

Bud IMO... your boys better get a couple of wins under their belt before you start all the chest thumpin... you know what happened last year after everybody whipped em out and started measuring before the season started. You spent half the last page rambling on about what DB has done in the past... and to be honest... the answer is NOTHING without a Gold Ball or at least a simi or finals appearance! Why don't you give the peacock crap a rest... nobody wants to have this same ol DB history lesson year after year after year!!! Here's somethin you can put in your stat book... DB came to the Castle in 09' and got THUMPED!! Now make sure you write that one down. Here's another stat you may want to put down in your book.... all those "Knoxville" teams you line up against in the past aint nothin compared to what you have to face FROM NOW ON and into the future in Maryville... NONE of them compare!!! And you can go on ANY stat site for your prof. So why don't you line up against your competition, and let the rest of us "unworthies" line up against ours... and lets see who make history first. You see you are a prime example of why people hate on DB. You get a little promise of a successful season and feel everyone must bow down. NEWS FLASH.... IT AINT GONNA HAPPEN!!!!!!

 

And for the record... you STILL don't get the benefit of 6A over 5A... even after the picture book I made for you. Why is it that you only have 63 kids out of that massive school that wanted to play football for Graham Clark. And why do so many of the promising player and their families go to such lengths to get away from the MIGHTY DB and ALL their history. Just a couple of point that make you go hummmmm...

Very Strict discipline in the program and most just don't want to put the work into it. 2 players that went to North that I know of for a fact would not put the work in that is required out of this program. There for they went to a smaller more relaxed program. Playing time was not the number 1 reason for them to leave.

I would like to add something if I may Cap. "04 and '05 was probably Maryvilles best teams talent wise. The '04 Vikings were monsterous. But the '05 MoWest Trojans were even better. Fielding 125 players they had RB's and LB's galore. Speed, speed, speed. And crushing FB's. Maryville toasted them in the final. Since then and my point, Maryville has not had more than a few skill jewels. Especially the last two years. But their claim to fame is not their talent normally. Yes, Brent Burnette and Aaron Douglas... But when you get a chance to play them and you are actually in the game for a while then you will see the magic that is Maryville. And that is coaching. Yes, DB has talent this year and talent is imperative. And yes, GC is a great coach. A great coach DURING the game? It's one thing to be a good enough coach to get to play them, but yet another to outsmart GQ. Not saying GC is not on that level, but what I am saying is that GQ takes average players and creates an animal through his genius. And he is a genius. And ruthless. In '08 Maryville lost the final. And they lost to a bunch of jokesters. It was the first time I have seen GQ lose composure. I mean, what was it GC said? Every now and then even Betty Crocker burns one. GQ plays to win. He doesn't play for character, or to allow his players to relalize there destiny or any of that stuff. He plays to win. However he can make it happen. And sometimes he plays "dingy" pool just clean enough to keep it from being dirty. It is truly a different level of coaching. And he comes out smelling like a rose.

In the midst of all this garbage comes a really good, well thought out, and enlightening post....thanks Comp.

Most interesting. I have never heard Coach Norris described as running a relaxed program. I think we should confirm that with the rest of the North staff and team.

 

News for you. It is all, and almost only, about playing time (real, potential, and imagined).

One other tactical point I would add is that the Maryville offensive line play is the best I have ever seen, year in - year out, in this end of the state. They have not produced a lot of DI offensive line recruits but they have great units who stay on their blocks the best of anyone I have seen.

 

Also, I agree that if the state title was based on NFL Combine results, the MoWest Trojans in '05 were probably the best team in the past 10 years from NET. Of course, it is not a Combine and that is why we play the games.

 

It is good to be at Week 0.

Fair enough question 4DB. Let me just start by saying I'm a realist. With that being said, I went to the game in 04' and witnessed Maryville up close and personal... and that was after we had OWNED each and every opponent in this area with the exception of DB who we did not play, and who ... can you believe ... lost in the first or second round of the playoffs after holdin down their annual #1 in the State spot for most of the season. I came away from that experience knowing that the Rebels were like the Great Wall of China as far as the Vikings and ANYBODY ELSE ever making it to Murfreesboro from the NET. I posted that fact on these boards, and MANY DB fans shouted that Maryville WOULD NOT have that success if they were playing where they should be.... and that was with the "big boys". Well.......... reality came knockin last year. And don't get it twisted, DB (with all their HISTORICAL history) has (IMO) NEVER had a complete team that could have showed up on week 11 of last year with much different results ... and Maryville was down by all accounts even for 5A. You can rest assure that it's not going to ever be that easy on you (despite the 40-0 score). That's not a football program... it's a machine... kinda like the Terminator. They just plug in just enough talent to do what they do. If THS would have beaten them in 04', I would have held it for what it would have been... a gift from the football gods!! Im not on Maryville's jock... I just give credit where it's due. You should try it sometimes.

 

As far as the "win one about every 10 years" goes... It's usually WacOff that pulls that one out.... and sometimes you just gotta overlook the special people. But sense you SEEM like you're trying to learn the ropes let me enlighten you. In the 31 games THS and DB have played since 1969 or so. DB has won 19 and THS 12. That's a little better than once every 10 years don't ya think!! Did you learn that math in North Carolina. Little bit of advice... WacOff is what I call the Shawn Hannity of coacht.... he speaks half truths that sucker in the "dumb and blind sheep" of the world. If you repeat his "facts" you will more times than not look like a CLOWN!!!

 

Whats your problem HATER, your check from Obama late this month?

[Rebeltothecore]

who cares if theres 100,000 in the entire school,what does that have to do with the football team,if theres only 60 playing.And somebody made the comment why does D-B have that little of a team.Its because most of the kids now are scared to take a hit,and want to be gangbangers and thats at all the schools.This is to everybody thats got a team other than D-B.Why do yall play lower 4A and 3A schools its the same thing you talk about D-B doing.And you telling me to grow up, you got alot of room to talk.thats what makes D-B so good ,yall HATERS eat ,sleep,drink hating D-B how lame is that.theres one thing ive seen on here almost every day.somebody putting D-B down ,i dont care what school your from {A BUNCH OF HATERS}

The more you talk, the more ridiculous you sound. I would say that DB'ers spread more hate around than anyone else, but I can certainly say that you may turn that tide if you keep up with these posts. You're losing appreciation from DB outsiders everytime you come on with this crap. Don't mind you talking, but how about getting back to football. And, by the way, size does make a difference. Don't even try to argue that.

No, go ahead, argue that.

[muttandjeff]

THEN STOP BEING A HATER GIVE CREDIT.YOU KNOW ANY OTHER YR D-B WOULD HAVE BEAT THAT ***!!!

I moved into the area a few yrs ago and have attempted to maintain support for all area schools. Every year there have been individuals that utilize the coachT resources to argue, slander and intimidate others, as well as run-down area schools other than their own. I have not seen you until recently on coachT. You have posted more-than-not in regards to all the "DB-haters" out there. You don't see me on here but so very rarely; I'm just reading, hoping to pick up some tidbits of useful information regarding area football. I think you are probably new to this area and I must tell you that most of the "hating" has, over the years, come from DB'ers toward the other area schools. When I see those comments--"DB Haters"---I can't help but chuckle, for that is the ultimate "calling the kettle black". I am compelled, as well, to inform you that you are quickly becoming to sound like that Waco guy. Now, maybe you aspire to that "prominence", but I'll hope, until I give you adequate time, that you can be better than that.

Respectfully, for now, Mutt. Jeff sends his regards, as well.
