I look for the work outs this year to be more harder this year than they have bc of what we have coming back, but I know we don't want to settle for second or worse again and any new guy coming in will have to earn there spot and show that they want the ultimate goal along with all the other guys. This has to be a team goal and not an individual goal. I will miss our Sr class we had but no one really stepped up and was a leader. The only one I actually saw getting the team motivated was Ronto, and we have to have more than him to lead. 

  Maybe you need to remove the patch and try lookin out your good eye?I saw several more trying to pump up their teammates this year.But you are correct none were seniors.

What do we mean by firing up? I saw a lot of kids celebrating and getting excited on big plays and touchdowns. Some seniors and a lot of younger ones. 

I said motivated, not being a cheerleader. I saw Ronto get on a few that were about to get us penalized, so that's why I said him. I guess Pittman and Blevins were a close 2nd.  There's  a difference in waving your arm's on the sidelines like a bird than actually leading. Heck, I do that in the stand's.

A more pressing issue, What in the cat hair is all this mess with Pirate folks asking for money for the Whitwell Tigers? Apparently this mess is over Facebook too.  When did any Whitwell folkes ever do that fer the Pirates? Old Pirate says this is a HEEP of mess! The skillet slinger come home today asking fer part of OP’s Christmas Fund to donate! Let’s be clear, OP ain’t got no lumps from the skillet tonight. Figure it has been pert near 60 years since the TSSAA started the playoffs, that said, tiger folks surely had ample time for saving. After all SP & Jasper had multiple state titles and their well surely has been tapped multiple times unlike Whitwell’s.  Old Pirate fans should be preparing fer rings for the Pirates in the very near future! OP ain’t joking neither!

Old pirate I garuntee this is a bunch of mess. I was at Ronnies red eye this evening with that Tower man and some fellar with a Whitwell hat came in there asking for a donation.  I asked him if he was full of mess. I garuntee I didnt give him one cent.  I garuntee them Whitwell people nor the jailhouse fellars helped Grider buy our boys a ring when they one the championship.  That Boldin man needs to go see that Tower man and take out a loan.  You think im joking but im not.

There is no need at taking a shot at those young men. That was their role on the team this year.  That team this season was a very young one. I am sure we will see much more senior leadership the next several years because SP will have larger senior classes.

What's a ring? We only got 2 pieces of fried chicken and Whutwell didn't chip in on that either!

All the love for Whitwell is cracking me up. Good for them for winning a title but I've seen signs saying congrats from Jasper to Chattanooga. Now, they are asking for 25K for rings.

    • 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. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
