Fairview @ CPA

[alltime]

Could it be they need us more than we need them all-time?

No! I'm going to let (Mr Know It All) have a few days to figure out what I'm talking about but his a real smart guy so it probably won't take him that long!!!!

Out of everybody on here, Swarm seems pretty sensible. So props to you Swarm. From my perspective at the end of the game, OF COURSE it's going to get chippy. One team is going home. You would expect any young man to want to fight. Nobody wants to lose. That's just the nature of football. Both coaches were walking onto the field. There were several bad call both ways. That officiating crew was deficient. The only thing I was struck by was Fairview chopping at the knees of CPA when they were taking a knee. It seemed CPA was fine to give the ball back to FV. So, just let them knee it! Why make the effort that could hurt players? They were luck that CPA didn't just go put another TD on the board. So there's your sportsmanship. Most teams would have tried to score again, but CPA was up by 3 TDs, so why risk anything. I have no problems with the halfback pass at the end. Once FV got the ball back, sure, go try and score, albeit it's on CPA's seconds. I was appreciate of how FV fought for 4 qtrs, but firing off into boys' knees while they are taking a knee? . . . that is questionable. Congrats to FV on a really great season.

Don't try so hard to make a big splash in your first ten posts. We've all been there. You'll earn some credibility, eventually.

Id say your a butt hole, and sonny, we ll see how you like hand picked PUBLIC school kids in 2 weeks. I know y'all want to strive to be your greatest down there so why don't y'all take your big stadium and all your money and play the big boys like Ensworth and Brentwood academy for the championship? I hear how y'all want to keep these relationships with the public schools and I ask why would you want to show the unsaved masses the arrogance of wannabe Christians. Well I guess wannabe christian explains why y'all stay in the public school ranks sonny. To show off!!!

Again, study your grammatical usage of contractions.  And, I am definitely a "wannabe" Christian, because I truly know I am saved by grace.  I'm a complete screw up . . . and ain't it awesome that God loves me anyway!  Seriously, I'm not being sarcastic.  I have a thousand faults, but God loves me and call me His.  God is good.  Not sure what your definition of a Christian is, but I'm just glad God loves me.

Well darn it. . .  I thought I had ya'll fooled.  Actually, I've been a member since 2002.  But I moved and could not recall my password.  I could not redo my password because it was linked to my former defunct e-mail; thus I just re-registered.  Don't worry, I go in spurts.  You'll go several months, or more possibly years, without hearing from me.  Again, congrats to FV.  They fought hard.  Very few teams go 11-2.  That is a hard thing to do.  So, humbly, congrats on a great season.

Congrautlations that in this down economy y'all still found away to pay for an expensive football team that is very good by the way. No use in beating a dead horse and saying it's the best team money can buy.

That guy is full of it and we have taken notice.

I wish I could play little league now. I'd be way better than before.

 

[Mr. Postman1]

Again, I humbly implore you to stop this false testimony. I grew up in a very poor rural school district (think Perry Co.). My people are poor. This has nothing to do with that. God has blessed me with the opportunity to be around both public and private, so I have lived and seen the stories of both. If you are comparing CPA with Ensworth, MBA, or BA, then you have really shown that you do not know your butthole from your elbow. You obviously understand nothing about economics. CPA hires a much lower tier accountant (or CPA, haha) than those schools. But, I will cease, for I can sense you are like one of those subjects that voted for Obama . . . which indicates absolutely no sense can be encouraged upon you . . . no reason can be had with you . . . and that you just want to be enabled. It's okay, you're not alone. There are several more like you. After all, that's how Obama got in office.

By the way, you sensed wrong when you sensed I voted for

Obama. Never have voted for a democrat due to the "morality issues" However, I stopped shy of

voting for McCain for I finally realized a sin is a sin. You ask me to explain, well starving a working

class citizen out is the same as aborting one don't you think? Ponder that for a while as your

wealthy friends cut all the pay they can from the very workers that allow your families to pay

thousands of dollars a year to win a state championship at CPA while separating themselves from

reality.

Well, that's a contradictory statement.  Because if you looked at the public records of the private schools, which, of course, are accessible to all, you'd find that BA has more athletes on financial aid than any school in the state.  However, they lost to Ensworth.  So, regarding the contradiction, I guess it wasn't the best team money could buy.  If you look at the financial records, CPA has no participating athletes on financial aid because that is the law.  CPA would get crushed by the BAs, Ensworths, Baylors, MUSs, etc., . . . just like ya'll would.  What you have to understand is that you have two factions of private schools, one set with money and one without.  The MBAs of the world have tens of millions in their endowment.  That's because MBA started back in the 19th century.  CPA started in the 1980s.  They barely have any alums making money yet, and your alums is where you get your dollars.  I know it's hard to understand from the outside. . . but there is a big difference between the CPAs, Goodpastures, Nashville Christians, etc., and those fellas in the DII leagues.  Eventually, this whole mess will go the way of several other states, and that is all the privates will join together . . . BUT they will dissociate from the TSSAA and form their own association.  And while the Fairviews of the world may make the state championship games, this won't necessarily be financially viable for the publics.  BUT, I hope so.  I love communities like Fairview.  I'm a rural guy, and I pull for the rural guy.  I've just seen all sides of the same picture.

Yeah, well I heard that all the CPA players were born nekkid!

that's funny!  this is what i'd like to see more of... they're kids playing a game- and football is a great game.

Postman, if you knew me, you'd know we're on the same team.  I didn't "sense wrong".  I just provided an analogy to get your attention.  I'm in your boat my friend.  I just encourage you to study financial facts before you go putting CPA in the same boat with Ensworth, MBA, and BA.  CPA is on a different continent with those schools, a much lower continent.  I encourage you to get to know some CPA families and get to know their struggles.  And then I encourage you to get to know some Ensworth, MBA, etc., families and see what differences you find.  You are profiling incorrectly.  Trust me buddy, I'm from the far south side of the tracks.  My kids do not go to private school, although I'd like to provide that opportunity for them.  We'll see.  My family will have a tough financial decision to make when they get to MS/HS age.  Blessings to you Mr. Postman, and to all your family/friends that are haunted by a corrupt President and Congress.

You confuse me when you write over my text.  That's like Congress.  I've just realized you can quote somebody on here, but while doing so you could change what they wrote.  That's scary.  I've deleted your question from the quote.  I might never post on here again knowing somebody could change what I wrote.  But to answer your question, I'd say the TSSAA would lose a 1/4 of their revenue if privates left.  I am saying this off the top of my head thinking only roughly about it.  I'll run some #s and give you a better response later.  25% may not sound like a lot initially, but that's a painful hit.  Again, the state of TN is kind of funny, because in some other states you had the opposite effect.  We've had situations where the privates are so bad they elected their own association because they were getting killed by the publics.
