I haven't seen Greenbacks team play this year, so I really can't give a accurate guess as to who might win. I know Greenback saw us in the Jamboree and the Sweetwater game and left chompin at the bit. I like our chances if we correct some of the mistakes that we had against Sweetwater. Fortunately I feel we are loaded with talent on both sides of the ball and are just having a few blocking issues that if are corrected this week will make us very capable of having a good season and ups our chances this Friday. At this point it will depend on how bad the kids want to get it right before Friday as I know they can do it. Go Tigers!

After seeing Loudon in that Jamb i was very confident also,but after about 5 mins of the opening quarter i couldnt for the life if me figure out who the team in Orange and Black was??The Red team i had seen before and they were very excited to be in Greenback,the other team must have forgotten who they were and where they were at!Almost mercy ruled at home should have woken them up for this week but time will tell i guess.

They should reflect on last week at least one more week before practicing. Just my opinion.

After watching film wouldn't be surprised to see some new personnel on the O line this week. I feel like the boys are putting extra time in preparation and film watching this week rather than volleyball games. May not make any difference but from what I have seen the Tigers are hungry. I know the atmosphere is gonna be incredible don't think getting up for this game will be a problem.

You must have a hard time following what im saying.lol.Because thats EXACTLY what im talking about.Meigs,Seq,Loudon,Lenoir City are teams we all schedule to make us better because other than Coalfield and OS our regions arent very good.Yours is really down since Whitwell went back to being Whitwell.I wouldnt be surprisef if Copper Basin isnt second to you all this year.

You must have a hard time reading anything except what you post becaue  I was agreeing with you.  I also think Copper Pan may have a little something going on.  That said, Whiwuhl shouldn't be getting shelled like they did but now I don't know if they can put the wheels back on that paper tygger.

Wouldnt be the first time i have misread a post.Thanks for setting me straight.I am kinda interested in the Basin program this year,sounds like the new coach is making some changes down there and its getting the kids excited about football again.Nice to see.

I’m just glad I get to see two of the top teams in the East. I will be able to compare them to our teams over here in West a whole lot better.

    • 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.
