This should be a good game,but it can't have the offense explosion as y'all had in the game tonight

[polksalet]

Tem Gunter 49
Ross Whipple 38

[~WPS~]

It'll be interesting to see if anybody can slow down this offense. Nashville's starters didn't score on only 1 drive tonight which was the first time this year. The starters have scored on 29/30 possessions.

[Oldbadger]

If they let the Badgers score 63 on them they may come up with their first loss.  Did their cheerleaders play defense for them?

LOL

If a team scores 63 they should win, right?

[Top Shelf]

I think what you and everyone else is misssing is..  all those studs that played offense only for the first 3 games also play defense at a pretty high level.  I said that to say, there won't be anymore 63's put up on Nashville this season.

If the badgers give up 91 they will lose...lol.

[fredcage]

Lost in the explosion is the fact that Idabel turned the ball over on their first two possessions and missed a TD just before halftime by 2 yds.  Nashville was shown to be unable to defend passes 20 yds downfield.  The Idabel pass-catch combination was better than most they will face.  However, the key to beating Nashville has been revealed.  As Idabel discovered last night, relying on outscoring one's opponent can be derailed by your own turnovers.

[~WPS~]

Nashville does not play kids both ways early in the season. Did the same things last year. When the best players are in the secondary it will be a completely different defense.

[Oldbadger]

The Badger defense doesn't roll over and play dead like it seems the Idabel defense did.  I really bet that Nashville's best players will play defense as well as offense this week.  If not, the Badgers will hang 63 on them like Idabel did.  Looking for a good game.  Wish I could be there.

May be the post of the year right here. Very amusing.  When is the last time arky hung 63 on anyone let alone Nashville at Nashville.

Arkadelphia hung 56 points AT Nashville in 2012

[cuckoobird]

I don't think arkie will need to score 63. If the score 42 they will win

[kjjackson]

Yeah, that Arkadelphia defense only gave up 28 to Sheridan. How will the Nashville offense ever move the ball?

[cuckoobird]

Honestly Nashville has played no one yet. Not saying they will lose but their previous non conference games is by no means an indicator of how good they are. Dewitt could score 40 against any of the teams they have played

[scrapman]

You didn't answer my question

[scrapman]

Arkadelphia has?

[cuckoobird]

They have played better competition that's for sure

[kjjackson]

Arkadelphia has played 'somebody"? Who has Arkadelphia played that won't be fighting for the bottom of their conference?

[AirItOut21]

Stuttgart


Try to do better

[kjjackson]

Yes, Stuttgart, try to do better.

[cuckoobird]

Stuttgart may be the only one but at least they have played somebody. Again I'll say that Nashville may very well win and probably should, just don't count your chickens before they hatch.

[kjjackson]

What you should say is that Nashville may very well win and I don't like that. Why all the typing?

[scrapman]

Speaking of counting chickens....the same can be said of Stuttgart being a good team.

[AirItOut21]

Yes, Stuttgart, try to do better.

Lol you don't have a clue

[cuckoobird]

Idc either way honestly 

[kjjackson]

You too, just say you don't like when them and be done with it.

[cuckoobird]

Will someone interpret Mr jackson's post please.

[scrapman]

I know that they are 1-2 and their Coach jumped ship on themy after last season.  Hard to say they are a good team right now. I go off of facts, not speculation of what they once we're or may be in the future.

[cuckoobird]

You definitely aren't going off of facts.

[kjjackson]

When they win, or like them, either way or both, maybe? Something like that.

[kjjackson]

And my post doesn't make sense to you? Who is 1-2 with a coach jumping?

[kjjackson]

I'd like to go off facts of the future.

[scrapman]

You definitely aren't going off of facts.

Fact...Stuttgart is 1-2
Fact...last year's HC left and took another job.

[scrapman]

And I hate talking about Stuttgart on the Nashville thread but I couldn't find a Stuttgart one. They were all over the place last year but no where to be found now. I didn't look on page 2 or three though.

[SUGARTOWN]

I love it how someone from Stuttgart can't offer a critique of any other game or team without someone bringing up the Ricebirds. I'm glad we're always on your minds.

Why did you talk about Stuttgart in a Nashville thread anyway?

[scrapman]

Only our minds because you are in our thread. I saw some nonsense that made no sense and saw it was someone from stuttgart...then it made sense.

Oh, these threads aren't open to anyone? Sorry I posted in YOUR thread. I'll go find some other threads to post in and you can go try find the Scrappers defense...

Appreciate it. You will see our D in the playoffs....oh wait, maybe you can catch the playoffs on the livestream

Nah, I don't pay to watch high school games. Good luck.

[Oldbadger]

Oh arrogance, thy name is Nashville!  The same arrogant team with D1 athletes who traipsed into Lincoln Stadium in the fall of 2013, never having lost a first round playoff game, only to leave the stadium that night, heading home to Nashville with their tails tucked between their legs (do scrappers have tails) having lost their first to a "scrappier" little Lincoln team.  Be sure to play your D1 athletes on defense this week, because, there is always a first time for everything. 

[Bigbossman]

Until someone can beat Nashville, i dont think it is really right for us to have to travel any. And that goes for our jr. High as well.

[mharris31696]

This is a game that imo could be close or it could be a blowout. The question is if one team gets down early how will they respond? Arkadelphia got down by 21 twice a few years and  came back to win. Last year Nashville got down in the first quarter and responded big time.  I'll pick the Scrappers over the Badgers 45-24.

[cuckoobird]

Welcome back BBM

[JimBobApplesauce]

Everyone Nashville plays will have major problems containing this year's offence.  Hopefully you naysayers will realize that soon.

SCRAPPERS > 28
badgers < 28

[cuckoobird]

I don't think anyone has been a naysayer, some have just been cautious concerning the level of competition, or lack there of.
