I'm pretty sure Drew Richmond fell a lot last season.



Off the bench? He was there a lot more than he was on the field last year.

He is ok not worth what we paid though tbh.



Compared to Smith everyone looks like a bad investment but Smith is one helluva an amazing prospect and at 17 looks like he belongs more attending his 5th pro-bowl than as a 17 year old true frosh. Richmond did better as the season went on but every one on the OL underperformed last year even with injuries included. He's still young and OL is not an easy place to start young. Def. not like starting at a skills position.

I remember a year or so ago when the University of Missouri was taken over by bedwetters.

you could pour OM 10rc and Mozzo in to a 55 gallon drum and mix well, pour it out in three piles and you would have what you started with.

It's river madness. The only thing all three have in common.

I went to MUS as well

Go Owls (or Buzzards depending on the sport)!

There's actually been quite a few

Wow, we've sent a ton of kids to play at some tiny schools haha. I recognize a lot more names than I could think of last night, but mostly from personal knowledge. I still couldn't tell you if any of those guys who made it to major programs were meaningful contributors though, much less All America. Has MUS ever produced an All American? And I definitely agree on Alston. Going into the season where he coached his first title, 2004 sounds right, I remember he probably would've been canned if he'd finished any other way, but then he managed to reel off three more by 2009. MUS has been the bridesmaid since, but dude's job is probably safe until he wants to retire. Nashville's prep teams have made it a good bit harder these days anyway.

It's also funny to me to list a punter and two practice squad guys (I'd completely forgotten Tyler Horn was decent at Miami) as the NFL alums. John Stokes went to the Titans training camp fully knowing he was starting med school in the fall iirc

Most of this is accurate. MUS didn't pretend to be anything more than a small, almost all white private school the entire time I was there (graduated in 2003). We were really good while I was there but we couldn't get past Ingle Martin and MBA. Guys I remember playing big time ball while I was there was Mark Pera at Auburn and Richard Moore at UNC and a handful of others at smaller D1 schools or guys that didn't really play.

But with all that said, the MUS coaching staff is awesome and that's why we've been able to compete with nationally ranked teams the last 10-15 years

Ensworth is such a machine now that it's really changed the old Super 7. If they follow through with this boarding program they've been discussing, I'm not sure they'll be able to stay in TSSAA much longer.

There were probably more minorities and kids on financial aid than there were in the late 90s/early aughts, but it was still a predominantly white boy prep school while I was there. I'm a few years younger, but I would've been sitting on the chapel balcony when you had mock graduation. It is crazy how well MUS has competed for a small prep school. I still can't believe they beat a 2000s South Panola team in Batesville. It's one of the few times where the team was clearly outmatched but still came away with the W. I remember in 2006, everyone in high school just assumed we'd be hot shite, as spoiled privileged high school kids who'd just watched their school win consecutive titles are wont to do. We played some team in Alabama that played (maybe beat?) Hoover of MTV's Two-a-Days fame. The Bama team was clearly a completely different level of competition, and we got waxed by more than 30 iirc. I think that was the only year during my time we finished under .500 while I was there though
