So let me ask you,If Greeneville dont win the state title this yr are you sayin that this team was a BUST?..Cause the way you're typing it seems like that would be the case.And if they lost in the playoffs then i guess you can use the same talk that is used about DB and the playoffs right?A great season but nothing to show for it.JUST SAYIN SLICK!

IM not saying it would be a bust, but i bet the team and coaches feel that way. Its just the mentality here now.. Championship or bust and that's not arrogance, that's just the type of mentality this coaching staff is trying to maintain here. Obviously we cant win it all every year but with the group of kids we have right now, if we can get by fulton, theres no reason to think otherwise. Granted, beating fulton this year will a tall tall order, but it can happen.......Slick......lol..how's YOUR devils gona do this year?

Is DB really that down this year or is Greeneville really that good?

neither right now. its hard to tell a whole bunch from a scrimmage, especially a DB v GHS scrimmage. The Devil kids look at this as their only shot to really prove themselves against the "big boys" up in N.E.Tenn. and most of DB's offense is wearing orange now. I don't know what all else DB lost, but just losing those two kids is enough to sink any HS football ship for a little while. Same thing happened to us last year after losing the last of some great talent. As for this year, i think DB will struggle early, but roll late. As much as some DB fans and parents llike to complain about their coach, the man is still a legend and clearly knows what he's doing. As for the Devils, we will know much more after game one at MoWest. and will know all we need to know by the time Harlan County rolls into Burley. we've got a pretty brutal non conference schedule, which will offset our annual cake walk thru the BRAC. Best of luck to the Indians, maybe a season under the radar is just what yall need. We just need to focus, crack some heads up front and let our offense do its thing this year and we should be looking good by playoff time. Regardless of how we get to the playoffs, it will come down to us and fulton again for the 4a title. Again, good luck this year, we can all make NETENN proud if we get some hardware back to these parts.

I agree with all you;re comment.I know some fans in both fan bases can make other fan bases sick of them,But the fact is DB and now Greeneville has proving there 2 of the top if not the top 2 teams in NE TENN.And true football fans have to RESPECT what both have done.Yea,They both play in a weck conf,But both were winning back when they where in better ones.Like DB being in the old BIG EAST.But nethier team can contral whos in the cof now,Its up to the enrollment and what the TSSAA puts you in.For now it is what it is,But i wish DB would be put back into a stronger conf and im sure Greeneville folks would say the same.But until that happens i see NE TENN teams coming up short vs other teams though out the state.Greeneville has adjusted alot better than DB has.But the 1 and done sayin and the talk about DB not winning one on the field is burn out.Greeneville has showed they can win a gold ball but other than them theres no other fan bases that have anything to say when there not winning none ethier..Much RESPECT to GREENEVILLE and there program and what they have done..But you got A**HOLE fans in every fan base.And as far as me being a DB fan i have nothing against G-VILLE,Cause other than a scrimmage we dont play each other.The only time i will say anything about G-VILLE is when one of them A**HOLE fans start running off at the mouth.And then and only then is when ill reply,And when i do i will use nothing but FACTS.Anyway,Good luck to you're DEVILS this yr and hope they end up how you hope they do,And ill be watching from afar and hope that another NE TENN team makes the rest of the state know we can play ball on this side of the state too.And see that us folks over this way arnt abunch of hillbillies and know we like to see other NE TENN teams do well instead of talking crap back and forth.

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year.
