Everyone is getting carried away with then "no way" stuff. Is it likely anyone beats Cleveland? No.  But pressure, particularly the pressure of being the absolute favorite, where you can only meet expectations and not exceed them, has a way of melting even the best. And I mean melting. 

It's an old one but a team of amateurs beat the Soviet Union in Hockey in the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics, and the Soviets were considered unbeatable at that time.  If that can happen, then the odds of Cleveland getting upset are what, a 1000x greater?  Remember all the pressure, every bit of it, resides on Cleveland to do nothing but win and win big.  Nobody else has even the slightest chance.  

The above is something parents and coaches both forget because most long ago quit competing within any kind of sport.  The memories of choking (and they did choke if they ever competed for anything important, I sure choked a time or two, once in front of my own kids who were also tennis players, up 6-0,4-0 and lost ugh) fade and those rose colored glasses come out. I was playing singles tennis until my mid/late forties at a high level and I understand completely what pressure can do, very fresh in mind.

Im taking Halls over Bradley

Halls Devils have a real good team. Bradley Bears have a good team too. Halls Devils might beat them but they will not mercy rule them. I guarantee it. Watch and see. It will not happen. I am Captain Guru and I approve this message.

I remember watching that game. What an amazing thing it was. I remember Herb Brooks in the movie saying "You don't have to be the best team in the world. You just have to be the best team in the world tonight." I saw that idea play out so many times over the course of my career.

One of the greatest highs as a coach is watching a kid, or even better a group of kids, wrestle out of their minds and pull off miracles. I think that's really what we're living for,

That's why we line up and blow the whistle. Anything if possible.

If one of these teams beat the other one bad enough it is still considered a mercy rule win. Did you see where the Gatlinburg Female Highlanders mercy ruled Eagleton Female Royals almost four times in on game? Gatlinburg Female Highlanders beat Eagleton Female Royals 101-18.  That means they mercy ruled them more than three times in one game. 25 points times 3 is 75 points. 75 points plus 18 points is 93 points. If Gatlinburg Female Highlanders had scored 7 more points they would have mercy ruled Eagleton Female Royals four times in one game. I am Captain Guru and I approve this message.

Do not say bloody mary or candy man three times or you know what happens. Also you forgot about Beetlejuice. If you say Beetlejuice three times he will appear as well. Have you seen the part where Beetlejuice head gets shrunk? They are coming out with a new Beetlejuice movie too. Are they coming out with a new Candyman movie too? That one was a scary one.  I can't wait to see the state duals. Cleveland Raiders have an awesome team. Summit Spartans do as well but Cleveland Raiders are ranked number 1 in the state. I still do not think Summit Spartans will actually get mercy ruled in the match. Summit Spartans are too good to let it happen. I guarantee it. I am Captain Guru and I approve this message.

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
