Too late now. You done got it started. :D:D

It's getting closer to playoff time so it's about time for that talk to start up.

Yeah I know! That’s why I was “ oh ****!” Btw I’m glad you had to travel last year, I only had to drive 12 min to the game!

Heck it don't bother me none if Murphy had kids transfer in.. every school has them or has had them at some point. I just heard from a buddy of mine down that way that they had 2 new kids show up at practice. I was genuinely curious if it were true or not and if anyone knew anything about it. But you guys are funny lol.

I heard the QB is injured but their cousin DeJon Barkley is coming. He is an RB.

Heck I heard he's on crutches too. There is a controversial one coming too I think. Rollins Jaspernick. He'll really fire the crowd up. They're even adding a new coach from Mississippi named Rhett Favre.

I could respect it more if you wasn’t constantly tooting you own horn. Fact of the matter is they switched some people around after you played them and got a new coach to call plays. They were completely out of sync against y’all and running around like chickens with no head half the time. Their stud receiver never had a chance because that QB was terrible, not so much the case anymore. I honestly feel like we were 3 tds better than them, but they made us work for that W.
What number was the QB y'all played against?

Using your Smoky Mtn logic, LCA was a much better team a week later. Even better when they played Murphy. Not sure of his number because of their uniform color. I find it amusing that you still are comparing scores like a youth league coach, knowing that they mean absolutely nothing.

I was asking a legit question there bud. Playing the same opponent and comparing scores is part of rankings and everything. But you know how much they love to do ranking in youth league.

Hard to make the numbers out on film but when Swain played them he looked like #8.
When Robbinsville played them the qb had (what looks like) #12.
Definitely 2 different players. Swain played a bigger slower looking qb.
This qb Robbinsville played was smaller, faster and could sling it and run it.

Better hope this is fake news..Murphy doesn't beat Andrews without those 3??
Unless Rathburn can pick up the slack for all 3.

Wow. This week the picks are pretty straightforward, but given this I might go with Andrews as an upset pick. I'm gonna have to start picking a few upset picks if I'm gonna get back at the top of the pack lol.

Thanks Gentle. The QB we played against had a decent arm and size but was not the toughest kid on the field.

lol Not even if it's true. I went with Andrews for a upset last week and they were my only lost and by 25 points. Won't be picking them again until Cherokee.

I believe that it was number 12 that played against Murphy at qb. Hard to see and even remember now. But that kid was a phenomenal athlete and was super fast and elusive. He was also very accurate with his passes. I dont know if it was the same exact line up that played against Swain in week one or not. Either way I'm figuring that was the teams first real game together. If Swain held the line up we played against to only six points then their D is MUCH improved from last year. With that said from watching their disorganization against Murphy I can only imagine how bad it was in week one. I think everyone would have a hard time beating that bunch if they had played together since youth league and were coached for years by quality coaches and been in a system for years the way our boys have.

Murphy at Andrews
Cherokee at Swain County
Robbinsville at Rosman
WNC GOTW: Mtn Heritage at Pisgah
1A GOTW: East Surry at Reidsville

I was looking out of curiosity at the first two weeks I missed just to see were I'd be now the first week would have been bad 5-4 week two 8-1 which would have made me 35-8 now. Lord willing and I live another year I'll try remember to start week one.

From what I've read no one knows completely the Maxprep formula they do seem besides a teams record they're strength of schedule , you're rewarded for playing up in conference and can be hurt losing to a lower conference team , they don't consider a schools history and one goal was to do away margin of victory. According to MaxPreps thier rankings are done solely by mathematical formulas. There is no human subjectivity in the rankings then NCHSAA takes that and sends information to a San Francisco based companies computer system that sends them the adjusted rankings.
San Francisco was all you had to say..Why in the hell would NCHSAA turn there responsibility to seed the teams over to anyone.muchless SF.

Yeah I kinda wondered the same thing. It stated SF based company, so maybe they have a office in NC and main headquarters in SF. I've been waiting for someone to mention that lol.
