ENSWORTH OR MARYVILLE

[RedRobin]

So you want to hang your hat on the 2 "Sole posters " who joined 1 week ago just for this thread with a total of 3 posts ... no one ever pretends to be someone they're not , do they ? I bet if you had asked some of the Baylor players about Ensworth after that first game they would of given you a perfect read on your team ... right ?

 

Easy solution , next time when Maryville asks to play , don't make up all the excuses if you want to have bragging rights over us . I normally ignore the IFL losses that Maryville has every year , just don't think it's fair to take a loss this year to a team that had a chance to play a real game .

 

 

Read my post again - simply put, I ain't hanging my hat on anyone's opinion - as I said, I DO NOT KNOW WHO WOULD WIN THIS GAME. If the purported Webb players are poseurs, then so be it - all I said is that players who have played against both teams are in a better position to judge than are you or I. I also have made no excuses, and neither has Ensworth. This was not a home-and-home offer and, as pointed out by KWoodruff, it was not even a fair offer from an economic sense. Sorry you seem unwilling or unable to appreciate excellence in any program other than your own. Best wishes to the Maryville Rebels.

FYI...Webb's best player and certainly a difference maker didn't participate against Ensworth. Not that it would have mattered in the outcome but something to consider when you do the comparison thing. Plus....you used Maryville's least talented teams...08, and 09...not that the comparison matters as well.

 

In the end I would have loved to see the teams play. Just a word of warning....you would be a fool to bet against a GQ coached team. His record against teams that are MUCH better and with far more talent is stellar.

I reiterate that I do not believe that the "common opponent analysis" is a reliable indicator of future success - I was simply responding to a poster who apparently thinks it is. As for the data used - it is simply that from the four most recent years - unlike the other poster, I made no attempt to pick and choose best years for any particular program. And again, I am not betting against Maryville's coach - or anyone else for that matter. I am a fan of George Quarles. I am a fan of Ricky Bowers. I am a fan of a whole host of other coaches, teachers and administrators in this State who provide a positive influence on the lives of our sons and daughters on a daily basis. I could care less if you think one of these individuals stands head and shoulders above any other - there is no one "best" for all circumstances. I am incredibly happy with those who have impacted my children in an academic and athletic sense and I wish the same for you.

Although mythical, Rivals has Maryville at 15th in the nation, Ensworth at 39th.
