As a Maryville Alum and La Vergne resident who gets his hair cuts in a Pro-Smyrna Barbershop, I'm looking forward to some good old fashion trash talking this week. I went home for Thanksgiving and saw some of the Maryville players at my dads church including the running back they look pretty big, hopefully they can win.

Wow...23 pages and it's only Tuesday! I love it!

 

The one thing that jumped out at me as a theme in this thread was the way that people want to discount the past. I'll agree that what happened seasons ago may not be one of the more critical factors in this upcoming game, however, I don't think you can write off the experience of having been there before. Except for the Freshmen on this Rebel squad...they've ALL been there before. And I think that matters.

 

So, no, maybe Maryville hasn't played as tough a schedule this season as Smyrna has. But this won't be the first time that we make it to state and the toughest team we see all season meets us there. And if we win, it won't be the first time we've won under those circumstances. But if you're thinking that the MHS squad hasn't taken the steps to be prepared to play in this game, I think you're wrong. Does that mean they'll win? Absolutely not. But if they beat the best team on their schedule and it's the best the state has to offer, then I don't think you can complain about strength of schedule much.

 

What I can guarantee is that you've never seen a coach who will gameplan you as well as GQ and that you've never seen a team that will execute that gameplan as well as these Rebels. More often than not, that translates into victory.

 

I'm excited to see this game. Is MHS considered an underdog?

Well if they wear their football pants as low as they wear their jeans then Maryville should have no problems Friday. Smyrna will be tripping all over the place and fumbling the football. Its hard to hold on to the ball when you're tryin to keep your pants up.

:roflol: :roflol: I kind of like the bling.

I have a feeling that MLREB will be calling you a name soon!

    • What you are saying is true about high school athletics being a privilege and not a right, but NO ONE ever knows what will happen if a case goes before a jury.  Again, I have been in a couple of jury rooms and it's always a little crazy.  That is why my prediction is you will see a settlement before the case goes to trial.
    • What rules does everyone not operate by?
    • So you want a have and have not split? Sound like the perfect ramp to elitism. Tell those rural kids that they'll never be able to compete with those urban kids. They're not good enough right? Or we could just do what travel baseball does and have tournaments every weekend and give kids big fake rings for winning a few games. The suburban public schools are typically the ones with more funds. Urban and rural schools have more in common in finances than they do with rural schools. I've taught and coached in all of it. The difference is attitude. But if you're jsut going to say you can't compete because you don't have the money then that's an excuse. Especially in basketball. The balls are the same size, the rims are the same height and size. The ball dribbles the same in some rural gym in mountains as it does in the FedEx forum. Charters come and go like a fart in the wind. They are no real threat to anyone. Magnets could be but rarely do they win either. It just hasn't been seen in Tennessee.  
    • That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4. 
    • I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out.
