It does but, to be honest even if the kids played mistake-free football with a perfect game plan the record would still be the same with 1 win. The mistake was making the schedule knowing how the team would be this year. But I know TCs sacrifice this year for last year's team with a schedule like this. Next year I hope he tones down the schedule some are we may end up wineless again next year. I know we can't cha he our region games but we are overmatched and in tired of playing Friendship every year. I also think our region will have some changes.

So basically, you want them to schedule easier opponents?  They couldn't beat Harpeth...  So, are they gonna schedule Pickett Co a few times?

Watertown has 3A numbers this classification, The rest stay in our region, and that is more than likely true, but if the mistakes were corrected as they should be you beat Harpeth by 3 TDs, and everyone is content with continuing the playoff streak. For a lot of people to say Blake spent several weeks preparing for Harpeth and to lose is very underwhelming and borderline unacceptable. 

I agree with you they had that game won. I give credit to Harpeth coaches for making the change at RB with that big back and TC couldn't stop him I know the job averaged at least 10 yards a carrier. Harpeth's game reminds me a lot of the semifinals from last year.

Yeah, they do,  they played a 3 game season.  Played Oakdale, Sale Creek etc...  I was just making a point.  The plan is to beat up on RBS?  I'm not seeing local teams they are beating RN. 

There are other teams and RBS would be the favorite if we played RBS this year they would be the favorite.

We have no choice TC fans will have to just trust the process. I think Blake is doing the best he can with what he has. 

Here we go protecting the Head Ball Coach again.  Push all feelings to the side.  If any other coach was in this position, do you think they would be walking the sidelines at Hartsville.  He may not have the talent as many hoped, but he sure has ran off a lot of kids as well.  Even had a coach or two to leave.  Hartville folks are either all in and will be that way about Satterfield's till the day they die or they are totally against them and find any excuse to not like them.  Just depends on who you ask.  I'm walking around with an open-mind. But I will tell you this, I'm going to flap my cousin at Thanksgiving for not knowing who Reggie Harper was.  "The Ghost" isn't as smart as he portrays to be.

I remember a coach they used the ole stealing county gas truck to get rid of him and he done a much better job with his teams talent! LOL

    • 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.
