No kidding. This game is huge, and both teams are extremely good this year. Should be a great game.

If there aren't any VOL recruits on these teams, I don't care.

Cool story bro.


Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's the oldest rivalry in the state.

 

[TrueOrange]

21-3 McCallie at half

 

[TrueOrange]

28-3 McCallie, 8 min left in the 3rd

 

[TrueOrange]

35-3 McCallie with 9 min left in the game.

Looks like the Blue Tornados will be ending the Red Raiders' 6 game winning streak.

(This is apparently the first time this game's been played at McCallie - rather than at UTC's Finley Stadium - since 1998)

 

[TrueOrange]

35-9 McCallie, final.

And the students rush the field to celebrate that streak ending...also fireworks, apparently.

Acutually, Father Ryan/MBA is the oldest rivalry in the State. :hi:

The McCallie QB is one to watch for

McCallie-Baylor started in 1905. Father Ryan - MBA started in 1926, did it not?


I think the issue in the meeting numbers is that McCallie and Baylor had to stop/cancel the game from 1940 to 1971 (if I recall correctly, the reasoning was that it got bad around the late 30s/early 40s; there were like multiple incidents of fights and/or vandalism and such in the city of Chattanooga between either students from or fans of the two schools).


Baylor-McCallie would be an older rivalry, but Father Ryan-MBA looks like it would be the longer continuous rivalry (from 1945 on).

I don't know. Doesn't seem like he does too much passing in that team's game plan.
