I regret that I did not answer the most obvious question.

Why not play this week?

Allow me to offer our explanation. Coach Stowe called me Tuesday around noon. I’d rather not share specific information within our program, but I can be general enough to perhaps provide enough clarification. If we played Friday night, we would be without 6-9 key players (a few would have been game-time decisions). Our streak will end one day, but we will not give it away by playing a very good football team (with almost zero preparation) and some of our best players unavailable. We were (and still are) willing to play opponents who would have talent similar to talent we would have been able to put on the field. I gave Coach Dilfer and a few other schools the same answer. There is no question in my mind that, given some inside information which I won’t disclose, every coach would have made the same decision to decline games with Dyersburg, Lipscomb, Oakland, etc. 

A team will end the streak. It was almost the best player in the country who did it. If it would’ve happened last Friday (against Westview), so be it. We were fortunate and they almost did it. We will not give this streak away. It will be earned by an opponent. When that day comes, our players and coaches will shake hands and sincerely be proud for that team and their community. 
Streak or no streak, we’re not putting younger and much less experienced  players on the field against a high quality football team like the teams I mentioned above. Doing that would be a completely irresponsible way to run a program. I understand playing Friday seems obvious, but there are decisions that head coaches make who have information about which no one else knows. We’re certainly not always right, but we do the best we can to be as thorough in our decision-making process as possible.

I do agree coach that Dyersburg will be a challenge and tough as nails fully healthy. I do understand why your not playing this week now and appreciate your honesty. Sounds like your team needs some healing this week.

We usually do too but this senior class seems to love their basketball

Can’t blame them for that after getting to state tourney in basketball last season.  They have a great shot at return trip to state this year.
