Riverdale vs Blackman

[tsr7487]

Great Post. Move up Nationally (that seems to be where most of our respect is coming from) but move down in the State rankings (where the voters are filled with jealousy and are a bunch of HATERS). Just doesnt make sence to me.

Hmmm..No Riverdale

[hs sports fan]

I guarantee you Riverdale could either hang or beat more than half of those teams on that list, to bad we cant play any this year thumb

[jda9703]

USA today poll traditionally has the same poll every year they stay with the teams that have been up their for years. Its very hard to break into that poll. The other polls have Riverdale ahead of a number of those teams.

Hmmm..No Riverdale

825380693[/snapback]

Why is it that people who are jealous or Riverdale go to such great lengths to try to prove their not good or something. USA today is still a poll (a.k.a. an opinion). They just go by what they THINK. That's why I hate polls, especially for high school.

[jda9703]

Polls are opinions and they really aren't useful unless you are a poster.

and im sure there are tons of great teams in the state of tn who could hang with or beat riverdale... riverdale is not a bunch of gods, sounds like they need to get over their egos.. two of the top 15 teams in the country are playing on national tv tonight, and im sure riverdale will be on here later tonight or tomorrow, talking about how they could beat both of those teams...

keep in mind these are just fans man, there arent any players that post on here. im sure that rankin reminds them each and every week that they still have a long way to go

[icecold06]

These guys sound like a bunch of little school girls arguing about who Riverdale can and can not beat it is silly just worry about who is on their schedule and who they will face in the playoffs because if they slip up and not win the state it wont matter what they are ranked you all will look silly for even arguing about it

[rhshasbeen66]

sports fan, i cannot disagree with you more. those teams that are ranked in those polls are excellent football teams in states that are much better in high school football than tennesee. i agree with blazer14 (and not just because i work with him) when he made his comments about the florida schools. as far as high school football goes, tennessee is a step behind the other southern states, as well as texas and california. now, don't get me wrong, i am and will always be a loyal warrior alum. i love riverdale football and everything that goes with it. however, i know that there is better out there, and i know that there are teams in lower classifications in other states that would give riverdale a run for their money. i would love to see riverdale schedule a 5a clash with teams from mississippi, georgia, florida, etc. during the regular season. then we would really see how awesome of a team that riverdale really is.

 

likewise, these polls mean absolutely nothing. i have all the faith in the world in my boys, and yes, i believe that they are the best team in the state, regardless of classification. however, that doesn't mean that they will go undefeated. any team can be beaten on any given night--its just that it will take a darn good team to beat them. they need to stay focused on whats going on between the sidelines and not whats going on between the ears of whoever makes up these meaningless polls. just wait till december and we'll all know who is number one.

 

there, for all of you riverdale haters, you just witnessed a former warrior player post something that does not paint a picture of the warriors as the gods of greek mythology. maybe now you guys can see that we're not as arrogant as you might think--we're just confident in our boys' ability.

[hs sports fan]

i agree that tennessee is one of the weaker high school football states, i never said they werent, im saying that riverdale is definatley a top 25 team.
