onefortheteam Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) well finally we agree...middle does have great programs...certainly head and shoulders above everyone else in the state for at least the last 20 years! **most of the time other teams are insignificant to the process because the middle teams are just so much better and dominant it just does not matter...but even a blind squirrel finds a nut from time to time and so even a west TN team finds a champion from time to time (i think 2 times in 20 years) **o yeah...the system is skewed toward the middle...it has allowed MTN to dominate for the last 20 years...may the skewed system be with us still more and more! have a blessed day! Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here we go with the middle TN booster club. Squirrel..really..that tired analogy? A blessed day...how can you, in the same post be so arrogant and dismissive...is this a blessing too you. What a contrast? Wait, wait, I will save you the "because I typed it post". Whatever. The system is skewed to the advantage of the middle. Any reseasonable person can admit that. This not the only reason, and certainly NOT the biggest reason, but a contributing factor to the title streak. Why is it so hard for middle TN fans to admit? Again this why I say it is skewed: 1)The most schools are in middle TN. 2)50%+ of the teams in the playoffs 3)Middle in the East and West bracket(old system) and in 2 of 4 quads (new system) 4)East has to eliminate to 1 to advance to semis in both systems 5)West has to eliminate to 1 to advance to semis in both systems As I posted a hundred posts ago, it is amazing the middle hasn't won them all, because on top of this advantage, they have great programs Edited November 1, 2010 by onefortheteam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onefortheteam Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 we agree and you still argue! and i do mean...have a blessed day! Fair enough, I might have mis read. You have blessed day as well. Goodluck to your team(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodluck to your team(s). my point was the only way to get you to shut it down is to say you are right and we are wrong...so i did...and you finally did! blessed day wish is for all...foe or friend! yours for living in the most dominant football region of the state of TN, PBD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one can contradict any of the middle TN posters on this website, it is really a shame too. I think all of us would enjoy good objective football conversation, without all of the "hype and cuts". Reading this board, will give you a good indication as to why good sportsmanship is a constant battle in youth sports. Good luck to you.

taker123 Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 It really doesn't matter who is in quad #2 or #3. Either Maryville or DB will win it all. just like maryville did last year right? they played no one if quad 3 doesnt take it then the whole thing would b a fluke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taker123 Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Ok, im gonna resolve all ur issues right here. First, computer rankings mean nothing and i do respect Oakland, Smyrna, and Blackman as a Bruin fan myself. but when it comes to the playoffs every team is 0-0 screw district championships and undefeated seasons, it is all about who shows up. and no team can b over looked (except coffee co) becuz of ranking. and as far as the teams to talk about fot the title they r: Smyrna, Blackman, Oakland, Maryville, Brentwood, Franklin, and some potential upsets could come from Mt. Juliet or McGavock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepvol Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 just like maryville did last year right? they played no one if quad 3 doesnt take it then the whole thing would b a fluke Maryville , with perhaps their weakest team in a decade at least played for the State Championship last year .... I don't recall seeing any teams from middle Tennessee there though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seantn_4 Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 You are a funny guy. Most of the Ap votes are where? Do all these people see every team play? For that matter do they even see the teams they put in the top10 play? Rankings are a joke. I don't know about this "unnamed" website, but most of this is done by hype (recruits and history). The point being NONE, NONE...I say again NONE of this is anything more than opinion. More like a popularity contest, and since the majority of the population lives in the middle...there you go. Why do you think the middle has more state titles, I mean 2x as many teams, 2 quads...common on. I see nothing factual, just a bunch of subjective greatness, if not for one then for another...and it just goes on, on, you know it. And yeah it is funny ok how bout this one....since 06...Smyrna, 07 Smyrna, 08 Oakland,- out of the last 4 championships...3 have been rutherford county..has nothing to do with the fact middel has 2 quads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randymc Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 "Randy" Last time. "Roulette". Have you played? Do you think that streaks of 33 out of 46 "black vs. red is rare"? Ask a roulette dealer, it happens all the time. However, in a "LARGE" sampling it evens out. 46 times is not a large sampling, give it up. Nope, I am a math teacher, I do my gambling at the poker table, where it's my skill vs. someone else's and no house advantage. Anyway, I am sure most roulette dealers would tell you they have never seen it happen. It should happen 1 in 1000 times, that's 46,000 spins of the wheel. And for your lottery comparison, people win the lottery, but lots more than 46 people play it. If 46 people played the lottery, i would say it would be decades or more before anyone hit the jackpot.
