Mairvul att Brad Lee

[ttitan27]

I assume Maryville wins handily.  But you know what?  Those kids from Bradley are probably chomping at the bit to get their shot at Maryville on this perceived bad season for them.  Bradley has something they don't normally have for this matchup.  Hope.  Without hope, nothing is possible.  With it, everything is.

The New Word of the Day at Maryville High is " Tennessee."

When it looks like the Big Dog is in trouble or cause for concern it never fails some folks have a Tennessee to jump on board.

C'mon big gal, don't be throwing up those sexy pics.  I'll be sure to let Stork know next time I run into him which I think would be soon since playoffs are around the corner.  Hate to say it but I think he's married so you might be outta luck Ms. Supersize.  As for me? Mostly bald, no curls and married too.  Besides, I don't really care for that much meat on the bone.  

Storky Storky Storky. You just need to try it.

MJ it's all in good fun. If we didn't all enjoy it we wouldn't be on here.

Exactly, that’s the way I look at it.

I don’t think a mad Rebel is a good thing. That is why I like them this week against BC.

I don't think there is anything you can do to make this group mad as a team. Watch the West film how some on defense just lolly gagged around knowing who was going to get the ball. My heart doesn't want to give up on this group but my gut says they don't care. No leadership on this team at all. Never seen a Maryville team in the past twenty years that wouldn't have taken all the gifts West laid out for them on that field and not made something out of it. We are going the wrong way so fast a blind person can see it. This is a senior dominated team and hardly have anyone back next year. Part of me says good riddance the other part says what's coming back couldn't beat out this bunch for a starting job, we in deep trouble. I've had a few ask me if I'm going to renew my tickets because most have said you'll be able to set anywhere you want next year. Yes I will but don't mean I will go though. I have two full ticket stubs on my desk I chose to stay at home because I had a way to see it on TV as to go up there and accidentally say something out loud and be fighting with a bunch of daddy's in the stands.

Hey Barn don't make the T people send mobile crisis unit over to get you some help. Don't you remember the counterfeit funny money team. The pulled it out of the ditch. Plus l am getting reports of the Maryville Red Rebels JV and freshmen teams throttle cocking, stomping a mud hole in, and beating the living daylights it of every Monday opponent. In the words of the late Queen Elizabeth, chin up, chin up.

Back in the day when GQ took over he went out and hired two old heads to run each side of the ball and letting him do everything else. We could lose the entire offensive line and he would have you another one just as good or better the following year. That's the concern now, can this group match Witts with David Ellis and Jimmy Gaylor. Maryville has never been a machine that turn superstars out like Oakland but kids with strong will that did what it took to win. We have a bunch of slackers I can't wait to see go right now. I knew there would always be a time coming there may be a slip or two but not a collapse.

GQ didn't bring in D. Ellis and never turned over play calling to anybody

The way you disparage our kids is a disgrace.

BarneySox, I will say that you have been very consistent on your concerns since before the season started and it has played out as you predicted it would.  I also mentioned that I thought the program was in decline very early in the year based on my distant observations.  Being a Oakland homer and sometimes Maryville troll though, I get no quarter or legitamicy and thats understandable and fair enough.  

All that said, I'll take you at your word about the lack of leadership and caring amongst the senior class there.  I guess my real question is who is responsible for this?  Would something like this happen under GQ?  I think not.  In the coaching world GQ was a man amongst boys in the high school ranks of coaching.  Attitude of group of people on a sports team or business follows the leaders.  In this case it's the responsibility of the coaching staff and that begins and ends at the top with DH.  I know virtually nothing about the man other than a two minute convo I had with him after one of the Oakland/Maryville semis at Oakland under GQ.  DH was very nice, very respectful and complimentary.  He strikes me as a very stand up guy and I know he is a very good coach but he ain't GQ and therin lies the problem.  As good as he is, he ain't GQ.  With DH you will still get your state championships but it ain't going to be as regular as they were and the Maryville machine runs a little different now. 

Oakland before Creasy was a sometimes good and sometimes not so good team with a state championship maybe every ten years or so.  Creasy, who won several state championships at 1A Trousdale county changed all that.  It ain't just his modified wing T that is the secret to his success.  It has to be a big part but it ain't the secret.  I don't know exactly what the secret is but men like Creasy, Rankin and Quarles know how to get the best out of what they have.  Be glad in the fact that ya'll had that man for so stinkin' long.  I still expect to see Maryville in the semis because even in a down year they are better than 95% of the teams in TN.  I hope Oakland makes it to the semis but realistically I don't know.  They should be there but they have also shown they can be beat.  Hopefully we both make it to the semis and this rivalry can continue.  It's a good one.
