Oakland @ Maryville

[EHSfan04]

Why don't you fill us in?

In the football office of BA last spring to talk scheduling for a kickoff classic that was to be played at Vanderbilt. Coaches said that it couldn't happen because team A and team B would never play us. I thought we could make it very lucrative for those teams, but i guess not. GQ was called on speaker phone, pretty much as a joke, and when asked he told the BA coach that "it would be more competitive for them(BA) to play an out of state team". Followed by "we couldn't give you a game". So the IFL has nothing to do with facts.

That IFL junk is a great crutch to always hide behind. Play the game, and quit dodging. Ask GQ what he said when BA called on April 24, 2015 to schedule a game for this year.

Kinda call BS on this. Knowin all schools schedules are already set at that time. Be crazy to drop teams when schedules are already set.

Maryville is headed to the state title game for the 15th time in 16 years. Incredible! Oakland came to play and put up a great effort. In the end though their red zone troubles were too much to overcome and with the exception of one bad pass the Maryville Rebels played a clean game.

I predicted Rebels by 17 and they won by 14. Outcome was never really in doubt. Oakland just doesn't have the type of offense to beat Maryville, pure and simple. Oakland has a few really good athletes but top to bottom Maryville was definitely the superior team. Congrats to Oakland on a good year, best wishes to Maryville in the championship game.

Oakland's defense is legit. Anyone who disputes that is crazy. Their offense is outdated but defensively they are athletic and fly around. Anyone would be challenged to beat them besides Maryville.

It was a renewal year and schedules aren't set until may, but you already know this. I will leave you all alone to live in your world. 1st person accounts could ruin your perception. Maryville obviously has taking care of their business and know how to dominate. Good luck to you all at state, which is more than i can say for my Tigers!

Exactly this guy sounds like an idiot.

Agree on their defense, but you can't beat Maryville with that type of offense without far superior personnel, which they didn't have, obviously.

I've seen Maryville and BA play and it would be a great game. Maryville would win the game in my opinion.

Until RuCo teams quit shooting themselves in the foot with mistakes, the offense that they run will be irrelevant. Congrats to Maryville
