Guess Who's Back?

[JohnnyC]

Do I want to beat Riverdale? The answer is most certainly. However, as I have stated before, only time will tell whether or not Blackman will pull out of it's regular season rut with Riverdale. The past two regular season meetings have been absolute disgraces. But I have a feeling that this could be the year.

So to all you Riverdale fans are you ready for the bus ? He's comming to a town near you, Hop on he'll take you for a ride.....#6 Kenny Merideth

fan, did you realize that since the new stadiums opened, Riverdale never played Oakland at Oakland? The only game I have seen at Oakland was an 8th grade game. Kinda odd.

Yes, I did realize that. I do not know how Rankin keeps pulling that one off.I am sure Marty would like that gate money! We have to go back to lebanon this year too. Hopefully it won't rain again this year so we will get to play on the scheduled night! Thank goodness we don't have to return to the Pit in Lincoln County this year. I really hate the drive there and do not like the fans there either. I think that Franklin is as far away as we have to drive this year.

 

 

Hey Riverdale, how is your son handling things? It will get tougher on him as the season gets closer.Does Rankin welcome the old players back at practices and all?

[warriordawg31]

He really hasn't missed it that much. He works, and he likes making that money. He will be staying involved at MTSU as a member of the film crew for the football team, so he is really excited about that.

 

Guess i will have to become a Blue Raider also. With the way my Mississippi State teams have been lately, maybe I should change anyway.

[Guest region4fan]

With so many familair faces on the team at MTSu, he should feel right at home. I am glad he is still staying in the game, makes it easier.

 

As for me, I never have been able to get into Blue Raider football. I was a Kentucky fan when Tim Couch was there. After they got busted there, I have reluctantly gone back to following the Vols. However, my blood is not orange. Give me my choice and I will choose high school football, especially Middle Tn football, any day of the week to watch. Ain't nothing like it!

I have been to one Blue Raider game. Not for me. I too prefer high school. But i cheer for Peen State in college. Isnt funny that it seems like alot of Riverdale graduates go on to play at MTSU, whereas I know alot of Blackman players are going to Cumberland University?

[shady04]

Penn State--lord i cant type well today.

[Guest region4fan]

Who from Blackman is playing at Cumberland? Where did Rico end up? It would certainly be a shame if no one picked him up.

 

Back in my youth, no one was a bigger Georgia fan than I was.

[shady04]

I could be totally wrong here, but to my knowledge Rico Tuner, Ralph Stembridge, Michael Maupin, and Derek Bowen are some of the former Blaze stars who attend Cumberland U. If anybody knows for sure then please feel free to post.

shady, I think that you are all over it. I am really curious to see if Rico can get back to old form. I am also anticipating the Blaze coming up to Gallatin. That should be a good game for both sides.

[JohnnyC]

I too am looking foward to it. To be truthful however, when I heard of our scheduling Gallatin and Brentwood, I asked one of the coach's why. Their answer was that Coach Alsup's philosophy is that you have to schedule big games against big teams to win big games against big teams. I can only hope we will win, but it should be a good game either way.
