If anyone feels the need to ponder Melrose's team-class, don't sweat it. I was around in 97 and saw friday night's game; this is a different Melrose team! Melrose's players were disciplined and ready for White House.

In contrast to past teams, Melrose spent most of the evening in slot I or tight I. Their linemen did NOT lean. Melrose got off the ball a blocked all night. In my opinion those gifted athletes are most dangerous when Melrose lines down and plays football, rather than spreading with 5 wides and scramble plays.

Before friday night, I would not have supposed that Melrose could stick with the conditioned, and disciplined Maryville squad, as I am familiar with the Rebels as well. Though I have not seen Maryville this year, do not expect to out class the Wildcats.

 

Maryville by a field goal; Team that tackles wins.

I think we could get between 6 and 10,000 fans there. If you count fans that aren't ours that would root for us, I'd say 20,000...easily. If it were at Neyland, I might buy 1000 tickets hahaha :P

I agree FBE.  The games should be played at the colleges with grass.  The venues could roate every year, for fairness sake.  So, for instance, one year the game is played at UT and the next maybe at memphis or vandy.  Does memphis have turf?  If they do, stirke that.  You get my point though...

there are not to many universities that will allow five games to be played on their natural grass fields. that was why it was moved from vandy.

i could have sworn i put a post on here last night about how coacht is on a thread shut-down rampage, but i guess i didnt..or maybe somebody deleted it...but ill say it again...holy crap coacht is on a thread shutdown rampage!!!...this is madness!!!!..but anywayss, ill say what i've been sayin....no one can hold Melrose's athletes...someone made a really good post earlier(on another thread) about the linemen and how they had no trouble with some of the nations biggest prospects in East's Dan Williams and Malcolm Rawls...and also Briarcrests Micheal Oher...these are kids that are being recruited by D-1 schools like crazy and Melrose took them down....I dont think either that maryville has seen team speed like Melrose ever..they have to be if not the fastest, one of the fastest teams in the state...Melrose that is....im looking forward to seeing the Wildcats elated with celebration after the time runs out Saturday afternoon and they are state champs.....GO WILDCATS!!

Man, you're not kidding!! I have pretty good relationships with the day mods, but I have no idea what's goin on. Most of the timeI can talk sense to them. Instead of sanctioning the troublemakers (which I am one of occassionally), their just shutting the htread down and punishing everyone.

 

It feels to me as if they had a meeting and decided that the Maryville threads have gotten out of hand, so their gonna call any and all 15 yard penalties...whether their real or not. What gives guys??

 

More to the point rebel78, Vandy wasn't making enuff $$ off it.

hey acmoney.......gerald riggs rolled up to maryville a couple of seasons ago and got shut down big time......now im pretty sure that you all dont have anyone like riggs down there.....and we got people just as good as the ones that were shutting him down so make sure u dont forget that.......speed isnt gonna mean anything our ends are gonna force you all to run it up the middle........those little pitches and sweeps are not gonna be allowed (there wont be any 7 or 8 yds per carry on saturday from Melrose) and when our defense forces you up the middle i dont care how fast you are those boys up front are gonna bring you down

Me knows this! Been there! What I was saying was move the games to various sites, not all played in one place. Why should murfboro's hotels and eating places make all the cash? I mean what do they give the schools in return for having the games. ZERO! MTSU is a great site, except for the turf but where does all this money go? The T$$AA sells the rights to put the games on the air, internet and gets a big cut of the gate and hotdogs. And they have a link that gets the rights to take pictures and for a not cheap price you can buy a picture of YOUR KID! Why should they make a profit on a picture of my kid? What do the schools get in return? A trophy. The kids don't even get a cheap shirt or patch for even being there. I'm thinking that some of this cash should go to the schools. Who pays for the state rings? Parents, Supporters, boosters and other donors. Why doesn’t the T$$AA pay for them. Heck I tried to by my fourth Maryville program of the year during the play-offs and was told by a seller they were not allowed to sell home team programs, just the T$$AA play-off program was available at $3.00. I asked how much the school got for selling them and the answer was ZERO! Man I could go on but I'm tired and I better watch out of the T$$AA might have me snuffed out.

 

And by the way it is a load of crap that fans can't go on to the field to congradulate or consol their teams kids after a game. That is a load of you know what in my view.

You must not know who George Quarles is. He is the brainchild of the Maryville dynasty. Every time a big time player rolls into a game with MHS, they get shut down. He may be an incredible athlete and it sounds like he is. But, Quarles knows how to deal with those guys and he will.

 

but see the thing you guys dont understand is that Melrose has several BIG play makers and they can beat you many different ways...

 

speed isnt gonna mean anything our ends are gonna force you all to run it up the middle

 

Speed isnt gonna mean anything?!?!??....what!...dude you are crazy, how can speed not mean anything..speed is whats gonna burn maryville on Saturday...speed is how Graig Cooper is gonna have over 200 yards on Saturday...and when Cooper runs up the middle, he's gonna be runnin over folks...you'll see....GO WILDCATS!!...

 

PS. Some of you moderators need to quit deleting my posts...i mean i wanna talk about this game...there are other ppl talkin just as much trash...dont get on a power trip................please thumb

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
