Well, Did you have a past when you were conceived? What about a future?

So the answer is --NO

I think they are on the right track. You have to give any new coach time to get his system in place.

You must be his Daddy...you are awfully defensive about this kid! LOL

bluegrassballa · 11-15-2007, 10:31 PM

He should be in 10th grade. He played middle school ball for 3 years.

Keep the thread on-topic.

Thanks, that means I would have been 13 or 14 at "THE" time. I just get tired of people picking on him. He is not at fault here. You and a few others are really hacking him. He has a lot of ability. He just needs to keep his head. I support him fully.:mad:

This kid will turn out to be a good ball player...i personally played against him and he is probally the most overall talented player on that team.....it does not matter his age.....as long as he is eligible then he is ELIGIBLE.....leave the kid alone!!!!

I hear the head middle school coach has never played football. Is this true?

To each his own opinion.

Looks like you struck a nerve with team mom.

I agree with you bobcat. As long as he's within the rules, that's all that matters.

Go Pirates! With alot of off season work, we WILL turn this thing around!:Thumbs:

bluegrassballa · 11-16-2007, 09:48 PM

I hope Powell can turn things around.

I agree with Team Mom. I think everyone puts this Rose kid up too high and he is only one player. Looks like people could see there is an entire team. Besides that, their record isn't great enough for anyone to be considered so amazing...especially above other players on the team.:dontthink

I am not saying that he is not within the rules....read carefully and take notes if needed.....I am saying that you shouldn't make it sound like he is a young, 14 year old freshman when he, in fact, has another year of maturity and experience behind his belt....that's all. I am not questioning his ability at all...he is good for a 15 year old. It seems that a nerve has been struck with YOU, Mr. Blitz Wink

I just wonder why? :what:

If YOU would read very carefully and take notes, I take up for all of the players on the team. Not just #3. He is the only one under attack as of now. Did he kick your cat or something?:lmao:

But "IF" a frog had wings......You get where I'm going. I too, think "D" wins the big ones, but we played good "D" in a few games that the "O" just sputtered. Most of our guys that play "O", play "D" too. So we need some #'s to come out and help us get better.

Get to the weight room too, Pirates!:Thumbs:

According to some on here the defense was the problem, but you say it was okay and offense was the problem.

You mentioned you could not stop a run in a 50 front.

That is fact, not just word of mouth. Not sure on Whitaker, word has it he may be going.

I've been looking at this post as much as I could! Lol....Let me ask you a question. Do you know when the lifting and conditioning starts fot the pirates?

I think alot are lifting now, during coaches weightlifting class. The off-season workouts start after Christmas break...I think?

Think about what you just said. Do you really think the whole football team is on arguing? There is just a few bickering on here. Most of the arguing has been some of us trying to defend the ones not on this open forum.

Ok thanks. I've been wanting to get ready for next season and I've been trying to figure out when Coach Whitaker is having weight lifting and all that.

MR.PERFECT · 11-18-2007, 10:04 AM

Rose did play middle school football for 3 years, This is true. 6th, 7th and 8th grade.
Support is at an all time high for the football program. The new principal, the A.D., all 100% support coach Whitaker and the football program. Coach Whitaker is NOT going anywhere. Powell will give him the things he needs to win. He is a great coach and in time he will take Powell county football to another level. Team Mom , I agree there is no I in team but Jesse Rose is one of the most talented players to come through there ever.
He is a freshman, a true freshman. Why not support him? He was the leading rusher and tackler on the team as a freshman. If I recall correct he had over 90 tackles this season.
There is a reason he gets so many carries, Don't you think?

MR.PERFECT · 11-18-2007, 10:05 AM

What on earth does it matter team mom if the middle school football coach played football or not, They won 8 games...

Total B.S. He is not going anywhere, for goodness sake the man just built a new home there. STOP WITH THE RUMORS! Coach will be there for a long time.

Why not look for a positive from last year, Jesse was a positive.

MR.PERFECT · 11-18-2007, 10:18 AM

No matter what we think or feel, Coach has alot of confidence in Jesse Rose and I believe he knows a whole lot more than the rest of us. I will leave it at that.
