...Baylor keeps the Heavyweight Belt and adds its 2nd Gold Ball to the case over at the Suk Creek Campus

thats a Booger Pickin :thumb:

D2-AAA Gold Balls tend to go in bunches....lately streaks of 3-4 years going back to Ensworth, BA, and McCallie.

I will give the slight edge to McCallie in this one.  Both have explosive offensives that can score quickly.  Baylor with Jefferson/LeBlanc/Muschamp and McCallie with the 1-2 punch at RB and mobile QB.  I trust the McCallie defense to get the 1-2 stops that will be the difference in the game.  I doubt either team will turn it over.  McCallie has a really good kicker and it could come down to that.   I'll go 34-28 McCallie.  Will be a national holiday in Canada and they can parade the trophy through the streets of Montreal.

What is capacity?

The largest crowd for a UTC game was the stadium opening at 22k in 97 which was probably inflated. Think they had a few crowds in that range when they hosted the FCS national championship back around 2000. Capacity is listed just over 20k

    • Yep! Now if both teams play at their best (including their supporting cast) then I really don’t know who wins. I might would lean Upperman then because I believe they tend to play better team defense, but since I’ve seen Greeneville play much closer to their best lately than I’ve seen Upperman (outside of Ty Cobb) that is why I believe Greeneville wins today. It will honestly come down to which team plays the best today IMO. 
    • It will be interesting to see how Greeneville decides to play Cobb. My guess is they face guard try to keep the ball out of hands as much as possible, but that’s nothing new. It’s about time Upperman brings their A game to the dance otherwise it will be game over. 
    • Couldn’t agree more with you! And most of Greenville’s main players (outside of Thompson) are also football players, from my understanding and from what’s been said throughout the season. I would say the same is true from Greenville’s perspective on Ty Cobb, can’t stop him and just try to slow him down.    That’s why I see it coming down to each teams supporting cast. And it really seems like that should benefit Greeneville with how many shooters and how consistent their shooting has been. I believe Uppermans best chance is to try and get early fouls on Thompson and put him in foul trouble.  now one thing I don’t think many people outside of Upperman fans realize is how good Chaffin is at taking charges. You wouldn’t think a 230 6’4” guy would necessarily be the best at it, but he is good at it. that could play huge in this game if he can get a couple on Thompson 
    • Haywood is not in Fayette Ware's District or Region next season. They are in Region 7. Top Teams in that region will be Dyersburg, Dyer County, South Gibson, South Side, North Side, Haywood, and Lexington. Really tough Region. Haywood's new District is going to be legit too: Haywood, Obion, Dyersburg, Dyer County, Crockett County and South Gibson. Not a cake walk to the region tournament like they have been the last several years with 4 teams in their district. 
    • I agree completely with this, and you are right on many counts. However, I deeply love and respect what Barry did! I hated to see him leave at first actually. My response to the coaching is more so how the teams were prepped for the state tournament from last year to this year. I found out that in the 10 days leading up to last years matchup the coach only had them practice….2 of these days…..that makes no sense. I’m not commenting on their coaching outside of that in this discussion as I feel the other areas aren’t as fact related and more potential bias could be brought in the other areas.
