Union Academy vs Murphy
- Thread starter MHS-88
- Start date
Not sure, I'm pretty sure that Al has them playing well. I'll be waiting for R-Ville to be joining the "Couch" next week in my opinion. And nothing against R-Ville, but Murphy is starting to hit their stride and I see an "Upset" after Thanksgiving....that's all. And it's funny that you bring up BBall, made me chuckle. The way this "Weak" 1A bracket looks, you better be thankful Albemarle isn't in there. Albemarle would have "Cake Walked" to the 4th round this year.West Columbus/TJCA/Alleghany/Pine Lake Prep......please! I see nothing but 8th grade teams there. Good Luck.
Albemarle would not made it pass the 4th round no matter who they played. I knew you guys would start talking smack after Ablemarle didnt get into the playoffs and it couldnt be settled. Albemarle ranked outside the top 15 in all polls. Nothing would be different if the Blue Dogs had made the playoffs.
We would have "Not" made it "Past" the 4th round, this is "True" and I do not disagree, but would we have made it "TOO" the 4th round....we defiantly would've. You guys enjoy yourselves, I'm just going to sit back and comment where I see fit. We won't be any good next year either, but we will be better than this year. We are slowly but surely getting our feet back up under us, you'll see. But, hey we're not in it and you guys are. But that's doesn't mean that I'm going to sit back and say nothing.
Oh and those polls means absolutely squat in my eye. It would be a shame for R-Ville who's the number 1 seed and Top "1AAA/AA/A" school in the "Great State of North Carolina" to not go all the way and win....imjs....

Sway,did you fail as many classes in school as your ineligible players did this year? you know the ones that were allowed to play anyway? if you did your research you would have known that you all wouldn't have made it past the 2nd round, because you all would have been either the 4 seed or 5 seed(meaning you would have to go to murphy or play murphy at home no matter what) which would be a huge beatdown. 1.Robbinsville, 2. Thomas Jefferson because they tied for 1st in their conference. 3. Elkin because they are #1 seed. leaving Albemarle and Murphy to draw for 4th and 5th seed. So you wouldn't have made it past the 2nd round. Heck if this new 2.0 grade point average rule I've seen people talk about on these message boards gets put into place Albemarle may not even be able to field a team next year. Enjoy the couch this offseason.
I do agree with you on one thing though...polls don't meen s**T. And you probably would have beaten those other schools, but no need to throw stones calling them 8th grade teams. Bottom line is some schools require there athletes to actually pass classes to be on the team not just be able to run fast.

Oh I forgot KW23, where you been buddy? I forgot that one of those teams I mentioned are your favorites...kinda sorta and I also forgot that your an CBS sports analyst/quick pick type of guy. Your the next Mel Kiper. ESPN is down here in Ballantyne, you should apply. TJCA or whoever will never be only Albemarle's level....ever. Yeah we have had it here the last two years, there's no denying that, especially when you make Channel 9 news and the whole state is looking at you.
You lecture me on calling a school a 8th grade team, but you turn around call Albemarle a school full of "Thugs" HA! You express your opinion, and I'm gonna express mines....
Oh and about GPA's....they don't matter either just like polls. My GPA wasn't the highest not even close to top 30 in my class, but I did go on to college and land a good job making more than the top 10 GPA's in my class.....how does that work? hmm...

Sway, I hate that your dawgs didnt make the playoffs this year. I was looking forward to seeing them after all we have not be able to make it that for since 09. And, there is not shame in losing to Murphy. They have a really good team. But I think if you seen the Rville Murphy game this year you might no be so fast to pick them. They could very well beat us this year but I think we are the clear favorite. Our line did a great job vs the yeller dawgs and that was the key.
Sorry for hijacking the thread. Back to the topic. I think Murphy will have atleast a 4td lead at the half. Game over.

It's all good BK, no pawn taking. I didn't get a chance to see you guys play Swain over online broadcast. But, yeah if would have been nice to see my Bulldogs play you guys, but honestly, we were not very good this year. In the other bracket with Elkin TJCA and so on, we would have cut through that bracket like hot steel on butter. Murphy would have killed us this year, not as bad as last year, but it would've been at least 2td difference. You guys would have killed us also. And I don't think we play that well in the cold lol, so maybe next year when we get our ducks in a row, we will meet in the second or third round. Hopefully 4th where you guys will come down and see our beautiful stadium. Good luck.
We are not coming with the same Offense. Been watching practice and we have been running the Box with a direct snap to Cruz and Skylar. Got the 2nd string QB back and he is in the box also. He does most of the passing. Our big fullback looks tough leading the way for those guys out of the box. Love that offense.
Not to mention Murphy's line play is much better on both sides of the ball now with Graves healthy . That allows Stafford to play defense something he wasn't doing in the first matchup . It also puts him and Graves both on the line and that has made them meaner and stronger . Keep doubting us BK , you can ask Albemarle posters when a State Championship birth is on the line Murphy will come to play and there not gonna hand it to you 1 ` .
Both teams are gonna install new little wrinkles that neither team seen out of the other in the previous game. Murphy's defense will be the key if they play again. Robbinsville has proved on both sides of the ball they can play. Murphy's D has to show up this time. I think this game will be interesting for sure. I hope to be in town, but I may miss Thanksgiving altogether.
SMCdogfan, What do you mean by keep doubting us? Because I am picking us to be a small favorite? I have not talked smack and I have said on every thread that it will be close and muprhy could very well beat us this time. So I really dont know what you mean. No matter what I say some of you guys will put things in my mouth that I didnt say, if Murphy wins.
Robbinsville 28 Murphy 24.
Is that okay that I pick that score?

Can't help but think about Travis when you mentioned the Box. Great offense for yalls team this year. I love the old smashmouth style and there actually are several options to run out of it.
Its not every play. Just as needed. 230 pound fullback and Sklyar leading the way for Cruz around the end. What Corner wants a part of that, I ask you?

You guys might not see it. We are probably saving it for the 4th round.
Union Academy has a pretty good O/D line. They have some good athletes that can break the long one so Murphy will have to gang tackle. I think Murphy wins at home, but might be a good game early.
Murphys big fullback will be to much for UA line. He might be bigger than any linemen UA has. Over 250 pounds.
