What is the best IFL game never played?

My favorite was the first year Maryville played Fulton, a buddy of mine said that we waited until all their best talent cycled through before we picked them up and we were scared up until then. Even went farther to say we should have back out of a non-region game to play them in 2014. It would have been closer, but Maryville still wins by 2 TDs.

Your buddy is delusional. I'm not a Maryville guy, but no one can say with any credibility that the rebs are scared to play someone.

All that great talent that had just graduated was on the team when Alcoa beat them in '12 by multiple TDs.

How many of those players that were Fulton's "Best Talent" ended up playing football in the SEC? They ran up scores on teams with less talent, never played a quality opponent, almost lost to a 7-4 Carter team (18-12 was the final score) and Beat Trezvant by just 9 points in the title game.

Maryville and Alcoa would have beaten them by at least two scores in 2013 and 2014.

ill pay you personally 100 bucks if you can go 3 posts without mentioning alcoa or somehow inserting Alcoa into a thread/convo that didn’t even mention them.

Two different classifications, but that 1997 Pearl Cohn team with John Henderson and Santonio Beard against 2012 Whitehaven would probably be really fun to watch.

Yes debatable. But that's the fun of forums. lol.

PC beat MBA, Indy and Cane Ridge. They beat all three of those teams by a larger margin than they beat Covington. Loudon was a pretty good team as well. Central lost to Gibbs and South Doyle. Elizabethon is a good team, but I don't think its a coincidence they won their first championship since 1938 after they bumped up to 4A.

Central has been around for about 100 years, had never won a state title now has two in 5A in the recently created 6 class system. Farragut won its only championship in 5A a couple of years ago and now is back in 6A were they belong and will likely not see another title for a long time. I think Knox West also won their first title in their school's long history in in 5A in the 6 class system. These are not coincidences.

I think the evidence is strong that PC and Covington would both have won in 4A this year. To be fair, I do think Greenville would have won 5A as well as 4A the last two years.

I think Tarzan graduated the year before. All those guys mentioned on my post were actually at WB during the 1983-1984 year.
