Sorry guys but I have to ask what I'm sure is a stupid question but since I don't know, I'll ask.

 

Who is "Buck"?  Is that a nickname for Creasy or someone on his staff?  Sorry,  I haven't been around here long enough to have picked up on it.

Buck FItzgerald. runs NPA. Steers kids to where to play.

Being here in the metro we know how things work. When kids leave a metro private we know why and how they get to certain high schools and colleges.

 

So I googled Buck yesterday.  Some of you old timers here I'm sure would know but is Buck legit?  Just looking at his website it looks pretty much 3rd rate.  Really couldn't find much info on Buck himself other than he played for the Vols for a few years.  

 

I wasn't sure if people respected him or if he was just a long running joke.  Just based on his website i'm gonna go with running joke.

I don't think I would call anyone with Buck's connections a running joke. Check out 605 River Rock Blvd. in the Boro.

I don't know anything about Buck.  I am simply asking a question to try and figure out who this person is.  Virtually nothing can be found online regarding his qualifications or past.  Yes I saw the link above.  The website runs slow and to me doesn't look very "professional".  Was he a great player at UT?  I can find tons of info on a Buck Fitzgerald that was a football coach here in TN for 35+ years but I'm thinking this isn't the same person. 

I suppose it really doesn't matter, it's just that I see him referenced here on the board on a fairly  regular basis and wasn't sure what the deal is.

Maurice FItzgerald is his father.

 

So yes, I would assume he has lots of connections in the football world.  Don't know how long he has had this business but hope he does well with it.  I was just trying to find out who he was and what kind of credentials he has.  Sounds legit.

    • I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"
    • TSSAA will let them all go to Mase.
    • Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
    • I would not put too much stock into the UH over Eagleville. From what I understand they were pretty banged up in that tourney. Catcher was out, they were throwing pretty deep in their bullpen and a few key players were beat up in their infield. Sounds like they are pretty healthy heading into the district tournament. Look at their schedule, they played some really good teams.
