Im not saying that my Tornadoes will win this game, but I am saying is that it won't be a blowout. I know LC is a great team this year and we will have to play a near perfect game to win. However, if we do win this game, some of you LC people are going to get your well deserved fried crow dinner. Just saying. All this F1 talk is going to turn into a disaster for some of you.

I kind of agree with you. If UC wins at the end of the day it really means nothing. UC is supposed to win if you go by the bigger school concept. I never go by that. I feel the game will be fairly close. This year Union City strong suit being the run will be tested by LC strong suit stopping the run. I don't expect UC to throw it much. LC can and probably will throw alot. I expect who has the better line play will win this game. UC must keep this game low scoring to win because LC has more firepower on offense than UC. From what I have observed of UC so far is that they don't defend the pass very well and the run defense is suspect. I feel like for a change LC has the depth advantage and will wear UC down in the second half. I have been wrong many times. I do know that when LC and UC play its usually a dog fight. I don't make predictions on games.

You have my respect, if that means anything. I would like to meet with the LC posters this Friday and shake hands. I met Bigster a few years back and wouldn't mind shaking his hand again.

I am up for meeting. I have a couple good friends that I work with from UC. We go at each other pretty hard but it's all in good fun. I have always respected your post. You are a straight shooter.

Here is another fact Union City has won 12 of the last 14 vs the Falcons. Many of those games were tight. Some were complete blowouts.

LC isnt the same animal even when my Tide or UC played them recent years !!! This team appears to more like the 1980s version, UC is a smaller 2 A school so I doubt enrollment is very different .

Lake County is 2 and 7 in the same timespan against Peabody. LC lost by 2, 5 and 8 in three of those meetings.

That's an interesting history lesson. Many times when my Tornadoes played the Falcons my spinkter was so tight that I couldn't excremenate  properly for a couple of days. Disgusting. I know. But that's about the only way I could explain it on the T. 

Im okay if any of the LC posters want to translate for the rest of your friends and family.

    • 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.
