Hey man I coached just about half of Smyrna's team in the midstate league I think I know more about them then you do and belive me win or lose friday they deserve to be there.They may not be as good as Bearden but they are the best the midstate has to offer.

Wow - not point in defending a team you have direct ties to. Plain biased and now all credibility is lost. No point in even trying to have a conversation with a guy with Smyrna goggles on.

They may be the best the midstate has to offer - but I guess that isn't saying too much this year.

smyrna has seen good defense and great line play before i.e. Riverdale and Brentwood Academy. Bearden hasn't seen a spread offense like smyrna's. Also smyrna has the experience of being here before, its bearden's first time. if nothing else you've gotta call it a close game. i'll go with the experience and home team, smyrna in a great, hard nosed game.

Biased has nothing to do with your stupid statement thats in guestion you said smyrna was lucky to make it this far explain that.I'm not saying your wrong on thinking bearden will win I Can't say one way or the other because I haven't seen them and I would't say that they'er lucky to be there. I think both teams have earned it.

Middle Tennessee has dominated 5A football for a while now, and I think Smyrna wins this game by 7-10 points.

Actually - it has everything to do with it. It's only 'idiotic' to you because you're a blind homer who is insulted by anyone who says Smyrna is anything short of godlike. Stop being an idiot and stop flaming.

i could care less, but you haven't proven anything about smyrna being lucky. They'll make it a good game and could win it you would take your i-refuse-to-take-anything-about-smyrna-seriously goggles off you would see that.

Smyrna's team is dominated by 2 players. Any real team will beat them. We "should" see Bearden beat Smyrna fairly easily unless Wilkes is just unreal in this game. It's really there only hope.

My point was they haven't exactly rolled the competition this year and have 3 losses. They also have lucked out with Riverdale getting beat. That game wasn't as close as the score was. Was a blowout as far as I'm concerned and Riverdale got too passive.

so you're not giving them credit for going to Riverdale and winning during the regular season? I don't see how they got lucky. Wilson blew out Riverdale and Smyrna took care of them. I'll be in Knoxville Friday night and then off to Atlanta, but I can't wait for Sunday/Monday to revisit this thread and see you eating crow. Smyrna will make this a really good game.

What the heck are you talking about? They didn't beat Riverdale.

Sure come back to this thread - I could care less... everyone's wrong on multiple occasions and I have no dog in this race so it really doesn't make difference to me who wins. I'm calling it like I see it. Your not going to hurt my feelings and make me cry if you do come back to this thread and Smyrna pulls it out. Smyrna won't win unless Mr. Wilkes has an amazing game, which is possible and I'm not denying that.

i was wrong. I thought i had read they won that game. Either way, they are there and have a good chance. wilks alone gives smyrna a chance.

I agree on Wilks - that's why I won't be surprised if they managed to win in a squeaker. But if I were a betting man - I'd be putting my money on Bearden because they're a more complete team imo.

You got to understand that the distric smyrna plays in is so tough top to bottom. I think the toughest in the state. Blackman which finished last won 4 games this yr all to teams that made it to the playoffs. One of the teams being lincoln co. which won their district.

By the way bassdude I'm not really a smyrna homer I actully follow blackman the most because my sons a senior there, I also have players that play for riverdale , lavergne, blackman and seagle so I try to watch them all as much as possible. Sometimes I go to 2 games a night.

I like who bassmanbruno was picking Bearden to get upset in the first round on a seperate thread. Then on here he says they are unbeatable. Shows that his insight is spot on.

smyrna is by no means a two man team. they have five very good recievers, rod is just on a different level. they have a stud rb and he's only a freshman. you'll be seeing him recruited by big time schools soon. smyrna has played good competiton earlier this year (played within 3 pts of d2 runner up brentwood academy without stud qb sonny grey and had a lead on riverdale in the fourth quarter and let it get away.) bearden has a fierce d, but the d lines of BA and riverdale were regarded as two of the top in the whole state.
experienced, battle tested, and at home vs. first time this deep in the playoffs, also played in a tough region, on the road.
smyrna in a close, very hard fought battle.

Leaving for the big showdown in 1 hour and 22 mins. Look for the semi-rowdy group of about 15/20 pulling for the dogs!:rock:

Had the pleasure of coaching bryson and the other freshmen deon meadows two great ballplayers with bright futures maybe the vols need to keep a pipeline open to smyrna.

Bryson is awesome to be only a freshman. Meadows the linebacker?

Oh really? Is that true therickbol? Maybe it's just that I got to see them demolish two very good teams live and they made me a believer? I guess that's never happened before, ever?

Bearden had the most dangerous first round bid for a team that finished 1st in its division in my opinion and they flat out dominated - especially on defense. I didn't realize how good they really were when I made that prediction. Their defense is amazing... and did I mention their defense is amazing? Rod will have to carry this team on their back to score more than 10-14 on them tonight.

Now - either stop trolling on this thread or maybe make a pick instead of trying to insult me for my opinion on who's going to win..

Actually Smyrna qb Sonny Gray was offensive MVP last year in Championship game. He has a great arm(92 mph fastball) and scrambling ability. Believe me bassman, I'll give you credit if Bearden were to win and no hard feelings at all.:eek:k:

Yeah - I don't have any negative vibes against anyone here but I can understand if my posts came off harsh since I was giving Smyrna no chance. I think they can win this game - but it would surprise me if there is a better team than Bearden in Tennessee.

vol_bandit who were you talking about when you said that you had players that go to Riverdale? Im just curious to see if I know any of them since i go there.

Looks like Smyrna will sneak out of this one. Last I heard was 17-0. Bearden didn't play like themselves - 3 turnovers in the first half and who knows in the second. Wilks returned a fumble for a TD. I still don't believe Smyrna is a better team than Bearden 7/10 times if they play but they look like they're going to get the edge tonight when it matters. You can't score enough to win with that many TOs.
