I wouldn’t sleep on Brentwood. This game could be decided by a touchdown.

All the respect in the world for them. However, may not ever be a easier path to a 6A title game than what Brentwood got. This team wouldn't win a road game at Whitehaven. I do think Brentwood puts up a fight and makes it competitive for a little bit, but even without Stephenson, Oakland has just too many weapons for Brentwood to keep up

No.  It was Brentwood's homecoming.    Usually fires up the Oakland players a little more when that happens.   Brentwood did the same thing in 2014 and the same result.   Go Patriots!!

Well, I'd prefer the 2020 result bc we had to pull a rabbit out of our hat to win in 2014......

i’ll put my life savings on both of those. oakland by 10 and over 54 are both all but guaranteed

The over may be about right but Oakland only winning by 10?  You would put your life savings on that?  How much ya got?  Maybe I can retire early.  Stay off of Fanduel Sportsbook.   You ain't good at it lol. 

I know that Brentwood has a chance simply because they made it there and are a good team but quite frankly there are lots of good 6A teams but only about 2 or 3 that are great and Oakland is one of them.  Oakland and Brentwood are on different levels and the two levels aren't really that close.

LOL what the actual. i don’t think you know how this works hahahaha :roflol:

if the line is Oakland by 10, that means Oakland -10/Brentwood +10. taking a team -10 doesn’t mean you're betting on them to win by exactly 10...haha it means you’re taking them to give up 10 and still win. It means you’re taking them to win by more than 10 LOL i think YOU are the one who needs to stay off the sports book:roflol:

 

also just a side note, i said 47-21 Oakland as my prediction. doing a wee bit of research would’ve shown you that and well, all of this too lol.

I do quite well on Sportsbook actually.   You just said Oakland would win by 10.  Not that they would by AT LEAST 10.  That's why I thought you were wrong. Yeah, I  would take Oakland -10 all day long.   And the over.

I think Oakland wins fairly big but some of these comments are a little off in my opinion. Midtn you said there might not have been an easier path to this game than Brentwood. How exactly was Oakland's path more difficult? I know Oakland played Maryville and all the respect to them but who else did Oakland really play that was tougher than Brentwoods competition? And you said Brentwood wouldnt win a road game at Whitehaven. Why is their name even brought up when they didn't play at all? 

I also think you really cant look at the regular season meeting as a basis for this game. Give Crawford a little respect and his ability to come up with a better game plan given more time to prepare. Afterall, there was a time when he was nearly Oakland's head coach. 

Glad we have made it this far to even be having this game and this conversation.

I think Riverdale would fare just as well given the chance. I think at the very least, Whitehaven should be acknowledged, if Oakland or Maryville made it to the title game without facing the other, I have no doubt it would be brought up. Yes we dont know how the season would unfold,but their history tells me it would have been a near certainty that they would have been in Bartlett's place. 

I have all the respect in the world for Ron Crawford. One of the best coaches in the state full stop. Anyone that could been Riverdale at the height of their dominance has got my respect. I do think they'll fare significantly better this time around. Facing Oakland with almost no prep time is straight out of a football coach's nightmare. That said, Oakland had the same amount of time to prepare and made Brentwood look like a jv squad.

History has shown the winner of Oakland- Maryville has had to guard against a letdown and this will be no different. If Oakland doesn't give Brentwood their full attention, they can absolutely win this game. If Oakland brings the same amount of intensity and execution to this game as they did friday, it would take a near miracle for Brentwood to win.

    • 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.
