  1. Probably wouldn’t have made a difference considering the official tried giving Alcoa the game at the end. You know it’s an atrocious call when Austin Price gets fired up and says it was an absolute garbage call. Really though, great game to watch and I don’t expect anything less than the Tornadoes bouncing back and inevitably bringing home another gold ball from Chattanooga in December.
  2. Considering an overwhelming majority of alumni and community hold the same sentiment and feel similarly, yes she does. When I came back into town for the weekend when we played Kingston, I had to do my best to talk her into going with me. I promise that my statements towards him are nice compared to a lot of what you’ll from other people.
  3. History is on Greeneville’s side, but hopefully when the time comes your boys are focused. Getting caught thinking the game is already one against a team like AC is a recipe for disaster.
  4. Not surprised. Another week and another example of the pathetic excuse Travis Tapp is head coach. I kept my mouth shut for close to a decade and wouldn’t speak negatively or against him publicly. Truth be told he didn’t even deserve the decency of that. I, along with most of our alumni are beyond sick and tired of his atrocious coaching and approach to the game. I said it after the Kingston and I’ll say it again, the players and community deserve so much better. It’s time for Travis Tapp to take a slice of humble pie, have an ounce of humility, and step aside and let a proven coach take over the program to at least get it in a respectable state.
  5. For the most part we usually do. We’ve had a couple wins where we handled them, and they’ve definitely had their fair share of take us out back. I think overall it’s usually a good game though.
  6. Love to see Oakdale getting some votes, most people don’t know much about them but Coach Voyles might have done the biggest turnaround in the state considering where thus program was for the longest before he took over. It’s great to see them having success.
  7. Had you asked me last week before we played Wartburg how I thought we would do against Coalfield, I would’ve absolutely said I expect a running clock. Now after last week and seeing how we just simply dominated Wartburg, I’m honestly not sure what to make of this game on Friday. I’m not expecting a win as Coalfield is always a handful, and playing up there adds to the task. Come Friday though I wouldn’t be shocked if we pull off a win, but instead of thinking it will be a blowout like I previously thought, I’m thinking coalfield takes it by 1 or 2 scores. If the Big Blue can somehow pull it off, it would be a huge win to start region play.
  8. Agreed. He’s honestly a joke at this point. He needs to stick to the classroom. He knows people feel this way but still selfishly continues to drive the program as far into the ground as it will go.
  9. It’s no secret I’ve been critical of my alma mater the past few years. Coach Tapp came in the early 2000s and inherited a team on 20+ game losing streak. At the time he was a solid bridge coach to get us out of the basement where we were and set us up for the next guy to get us back to playing a high level of football. 15 years later and we’re still waiting for that to happen. I’m just genuinely curious when the administration at Harriman will get the intestinal fortitude to make the right decision that’s been long overdue. It’s time, and it’s been time to show Tapp the door. From 2008 up until last week our teams have severely underachieved and anybody that has a knowledge of the game can see how underdeveloped and lack of physicality our teams consistently have. With the talent Tapp had from 08-12 and then a handful of years from 13 to present day, the lack of proudction and results have been absolutely pathetic. At some point it’s time to set pride to the side and do the right thing. Being a good man and good teacher isn’t cutting anymore. The vast majority of the alumni refuse to come to games until a change is made because of how he’s ran our program into the ground. There are multiple alumni that are successful coaches around the state that have made it known coming back home would be something they’d love to do. Last week was the last game I attend until the change is made. It’s simply not right to the kids or to the alumni and fans to have to continue dealing with a man who simply won’t see how far downhill the program has gone and do the right thing and step aside and let fresh blood rejuvenate this program. The potential is there but it’s going to take the right man and staff to come in and overhaul the culture. Here’s to hoping the change happens sooner as opposed to later. The kids and the Harriman community deserve better than a Travis Tapp led football program.
  10. Thanks bud. Same story, different year. I won’t be back to another game until the Harriman administration gets a set of berries and decides to make a change. It’s honestly despicable at how much a mockery Travis Tapp has made this program. Consistent underachievement and severe underdevelopment. It’s a disgrace to Harriman at this point.
  11. About that time again! With the exception of last year this rivalry has had some great games the past 7 meetings. Harriman has taken 2 of the last 3 at home. Not sure what Kingston is bringing to the table but Harriman has improved a decent amount from last season. Still not sure it will be enough to knock off the Jackets but playing at home has helped in the last 3 matchups. Good luck to both teams tonight for a clean and injury free game!
  12. Powell is talented no doubt. They might be the most undisciplined and mouthy team I’ve saw this season. It’s been the same with them multiple games that I’ve watched.
  13. No reason not to brother! Life is too short to not make the most of it and have fun!
