No, your summation would be incorrect. I was initially referencing that D-B's AD didn't want to play McMinn in a home/away series in 2009-2010. In my opinion it was based on McMinn pulling the upset in 2008. Before that 2008 game the D-B AD was virtually agreeing to scheduling the game the following two years, but never would return McMinn's AD calls. I think it would have been good for both programs.
Now, somewhere along the line (about 2014) I think D-B's AD got wise and realized that D-B needed to play some credible competition during the season, so he scheduled some good teams.
I don't think D-B was any more scared to play McMinn last week than McMinn was scared to play D-B. I apologize if I came across that day. Nor do I think D-B had any hand in having the game cancelled. 

Don’t know what the motivation to play or avoid McMinn a decade ago might have been. One might think a team would want to exact revenge on an opponent that pulled a big upset the year before?  A decade ago, the conference contained smaller, local teams that did little to hone skills, then we would look to Knoxville (Bearden, Oak Ridge, Farragut, etc.) for the optional out of conf. Games.  When the conf changed to include the Knox teams, then we began looking to Greenville, Alcoa, etc. for non conf.  I don’t think we’ve ever seen wisdom in a non-challenging schedule, the TSSAA has dictated many of these changes through the years.  And yes, you are correct in that players from both teams wanted to be on field last week, players don’t think thoughts like fear the way fans do, lol.

The AD at that time wasn't much of a AD. I'd say he didn't care one way or the other if DB and McMinn played. He probably had no ideal McMinn even beat DB that year. As for him not returning the calls, It was probably because he was busy playing golf. He single handedly destroyed the once proud basketball program and it's taken years to rebuild.

Your score is wrong but one thing is true, this is the 2020 game, the past does not matter...

Joey is doing interviews. Here is an excerpt and link. 

 

 

 

All jokes aside if #18 doesn't go down and Alcoa had to replace him with a freshman linebacker then he isn't lying murvil doesn't score, murvil took advantage of the freshman, now I'm picking murvil to win going away because Waco done told the whole world how to beat Db,  these kids don't stand a chance, they put all this hard work in and someone just tells everyone about his team weakness

    • Jason Lambert should be the only choice for the Baseball coaching position. 
    • From the stats I found online it looks like Gabe Eddington- .484, 44 total hits, 43 runs scored and 42 stolen bases.Meanwhile, on the mound, the Austin Peay commit had a record of 8-2, while compiling 50 innings pitched with an ERA of 1.82. Carson Parrott - 7-0 overall as a starting pitcher with a 1.41 ERA, 95 strikeouts and a save in 53 and 1/3 innings pitched. Parrott hit .392 with 3 home runs, 21 RBIs with a .566 OBP and .716 SLG. Jaxon Walker - .454, 53 hits, 38 RBI’s, 9 HRs.   Not saying the other three aren’t deserving but Quillen had better BA than all three and was just as dominate pitching.  Like I said I don’t know how you leave off the 3a Baseball player of the year last year when he put up better numbers.  I know Greeneville’s Coach wasn’t happy about it saying “I don’t give a s*** what anybody else says. That kid is the best player in Tennessee, and everybody else on our team rises to his level“.  I’m sure winning another State Championship as a junior is more important to Carson than the individual award, it’s just a head scratcher to not be nominated
