27ALLGO Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 After one game McMinn has one of the best backfields in the state? O.K., McBride had a good season last year and from what I've heard he was the fastest player at a camp in Nashville over the summer, but the other two backs have one game under their belt. McDermott is a soph and Locke, I think, didn't play last year b/c of an injury. And not to be biased but hasn't Caldwell only played one game? He didn't play last year did he? All this trash talk about virtually unproven players. The fact of the matter is that even after the game the title of "best back" won't be known b/c unless they've changed the rules the backfields don't play each other. They go against the other team's D. So if Caldwell gets 200 against McMinn's young defense and McMinn's trio rush for 125 against the Owls "great" LB corp, are we any further along in deciding best back? NO! SO MAKE IT STOP!!! Prediction: McMinn 28 Ooltewah 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradfromtheNest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Although I don't like your prediction, that was a very good post 27ALLGO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TribeGuy22 Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Let me start by saying that the reason I say any of this is because I've played with and followed all of these guys from McMinn, and I know their capabilities and potential. We've already decided though that this arguement was going to be left on the field, and we weren't saying who wins will determine who has the better backs or anything like that, but their play will tell alot. Whoever's backs make the best plays and have the best stats and look the best, blah blah blah, will say a lot about who's running back corp is the better one. I believe we are intelligent and most of us have a good understanding and lots of knowledge on the game of football. We can make an intelligent judgement on this.

TribeFan Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 The bottom line is that McMinn wins by 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImaOWL Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 You played? What year did you graduate? I might have played against you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnowl Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 who the heck are these three tailbacks from mcminn? never heard of them. i would say there is probably a reason for that. everybody else has heard of caldwell and williams from ooltewah because they have actually done something!!!! williams is a one-time state player of the week (as a sophomore), and caldwell just rushed for 296 against a program that was the 5-a state champion in 2000. and these other guys have been doing what? beating up on riceville elementary????

GradfromtheNest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Haha, I love it Barnowl! Just as we were beginning to get along with the "tribe" faithful on here, we throw another piece of wood on the fire! But that's why I love CoachT! I'm just excited to see Dwayne run for about 200+ yards against the tribe and our D shut their AWESOME 3 RBs down to less than 100 combined!

silverspur Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 My question is who does MacMinn play this week? Do they need downtime from last week to get ready for the OWLS. Surely Cum County didn't pose that much of a threat? Anyways, Grad, You are the real instigator on COACH T. BarnOwl said it right - What has these three backs done to make all of MacMinn countians think they are the real deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't illiterate now are we? And the reason we love these back is because we know what McBride and Locke can do and we know the potential T. McD has. They are all quick and explode through the holes. Its gonna be a good game I think. I say McMinn comes out on top, though, probably by 3 or so. GO TRIBE!!!

ImaOWL Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 What grade are these running backs in for MacMinn County? I've never heard of them before. Did they play last year. If they are so great why hasn't anyone heard of them from last year? Also just to let you know; Ooltewah's offensive line has no seniors on it and the defensive line has 1 senior. The backfield are all young except Marcus Williams. I can't wait to see these young bucks go at it. Should be a great game. Oh and I forgot to tell you that Ooltewah has a great passing game so if McMinn starts keying on Dwayne which they prob will ol' Zach Woods will be throwing the ball all over the place!
