Who is worthy of stepping on the field with Greeneville?

Batman it still baffles me that all the great teams that DB has had the last 25 years and they never won a State Championship.

There is a one-word answer to this.....  Maryville.

Since 2009, that's true. It's always surprised me that they've never even made it to the championship game, especially prior to 2009.

Everything has to line up Lawnman.DB has had some really fine teams and several years ago was at the door a few times in the semi's. You have to be the best team on every friday or saturday playoff game. I know those DB teams were loaded with talent and somebody else will have to  say why they were not the best during those years.I've seen some clusters since then when everyone knew DB had the best team but still didn't win some playoff games,once again folks can go back and forth on why that was the case.Both our teams have been close at times that we didn't win it all but thank goodness both schools got it done a few times .

It is still possible that the Greeneville and Maryville or Alcoa could possibly meet before season ends. 

No, barring covid cancellations that create openings, but the chances of them playing are pretty much nil.

I would love to see how Greenville would match up with either of these two.  But no chance. 

But in the useless trivia category, I did hear on the radio today that you are more likely to win the powerball jackpot than to be attacked and killed by a shark, and you are twice as likely to be attacked and killed by a dog than you are to win the powerball jackpot.  fwiw.  I try to learn at least one thing a day, and that's two useless facts, so I'm way ahead.

So you are saying that there is still a chance ..........

I hardly ever play the lottery but I  figured out long ago that  I'm many times more likely to get atleast bitten by a shark if none of my sons are at the beach with me.No matter when then were small or now days that they are all grown,if we are at the beach together,I try and find things away from the ocean water to do.A Few years ago, they were all in some other part of the world and I was in the water atleast twice when sharks were spotted and everyone had to get out.A third time, I seen a big shark fin and stayed out anyway for a few more minutes.I figured I was in five feet of water and he was less then twenty feet away,so I might as well take my time getting back and not ring a dinner bell.Had my kids been with me,none of us would have went back after the first shark sighting.

The lottery can be pretty bad as well. Over the years I have put a few dollars in the hat if my co-workers wanted to play but I figure the thousands it has paid towards my kids college compared to the maybe two or three hundred I've spent,I've pretty much won the lottery game. What's sad is those people we all know that  have a problem and can't stop.I hate the way some of the stars are pushing the on-line gambling now.

I hear ya.  I just hate having to stand in line behind someone while they try to decide how many tickets and which ones they can get with the money that should be spent on the little kid that's with them.   But to each his own, don't get me started.  Ha ha

I think everybody knows why DB didn't win two or three state championships in the early 2000's.  The homer's and the "good ole' boys" will never admit it but we all know.

Interesting.  

Or perhaps they just weren't good enough?
