Franklin vs Riverdale

[sportsguy1976]

Another thing... for the Franklin fans... in the Williamson AM today they asked for us to send in our memories/congratulatory messages/ etc etc from this past season. They're running a big special in next Saturday's Review Appeal that you won't want to miss, I'm sure. Be a part of it and e-mail your thoughts to the guys there...

They really do want a lot of people to participate... and I know there's plenty of you that'll read this who don't post... I know who a lot of you are now so pass on the word about this! Make this something special!

sportsguy, the entire drive to Franklin I was reminding myself to tell everyone I ran into on Saturday about this... yes, that failed... badly. I was kicking myself in the butt the whole way home yesterday for not telling people. Hopefully they'll see this... I know a ton of people I talked to told me they get on here soooo we'll see. Again, I'm sorry!

GerryBertier, Dave will probably end up at MTSU. But I think his mom lives in North Carolina so he could possibly end up at ECU.

Actually VT is interested in Dave as a punt returner and DB.So you dont know what your talking about.He is VT material but more than likely will not be going there.

Congrats to Dave for getting the Titans Player of the Week. He will be on Jeff Fisher tonight. Maybe Jeff should sign the kid on......

What makes you think he isn't? I didn't get to see him play, but I spoke with Coach Joslin at Cookeville last Friday, and he told me how impressed he was with him! So, if you're not a coach, I hardly think that makes you as good a judge of talent as he is. Same with Coach Rankin. If he wasn't good enough to play at a top tier D-I team, I doubt he would get in on 90% of the plays at Riverdale! Yea, yea, I know he touches it all of the plays as a QB, but I mean having the play revolve around him. With the way they disposed of everyone they played this season, most of them in very convincing fashion, I think that makes the D-I case for Thomas.

dave is a d-1 player there is no mistaking that, i just dont think he is THAT good. anyway, its a moot point because he will probably end up going to middle so he can stay close to jacqui I only saw dave play at least 15 times over the course of his career so i think i would know how good he is.

Dave was a receiver in his frosh and soph days.Add in QB, punter, return man, DB.............take your pick at what position he can play. I also heard some schools are looking at him at linebacker??

Yeah the story about him and his gf, has made me have a high regard for him as a human being, he has a big heart on and off the field.

I totally agree with that Gerry! I said it in an earlier post. Most high schoolers wouldn't be able to handle that the way Dave has!

I know it may not be any of my business, but I was wondering, what happend to his girlfriend??
