Only 4 region games this upcoming year.  Who has heard anything about out of region games?  Who would yall like to see on schedule?

Jasper, Boyd, Sequatchie, Bledsoe, Grungy, and maybe try to put the old SVC back by getting North Jackwagon in there, but it would require the other schools playing.

Im just saying that Sanders was a great qb as a 7th grader at grundy and that is where his future is. Kid could probably go to Baylor or McCallie and be a qb. Awesome athlete.

Kid has it all, he is an absolute man-child, but has all the maturity in the world. Knows when to run his motor and be a ruthless competitor and when to extend a hand as a true sportsman as a truly classy individual. I promise if Coach Grider ***is the coach while he is there, he'll put them in Cookeville with a serious chance to own a gold ball.

I think we need to beef our schedule up. It's always good to keep a good level of competition so when we play teams like GB this year in the playoffs it won't be the first time in 8 weeks that your playing a high caliber team. In the 2007-2012 played your signal mountains, tyners, Boyd, Seq, Polk (when they were dang good), we played 6-a Franklin County, Chattanooga Central which I believe is 3-a, in 12-13 we played the Bell County team from Kentucky. I watched the game in KY, and they were no slouch.

 

The only high caliber teams we played this year were SEQ, then MC and then GB came in and hit us in the mouth pretty good, and that was the first time it had happened since MC early in the season. We need to try and beef up the schedule because some of the teams we are forced to play just aren't very good.

 

Just my opinion.

We need to do the same thing. Need a couple games that are real tests so you can see what you need to work on for the playoffs. 10-0 and 9-1 records look good but I would rather go 6-4 and win a championship.

I somewhat agree with what your saying but at the same time you have to look at it like this. We got beat this year by GB and it wouldn't have mattered if we played Tyner or other high caliber teams because we simply didn't have the players to compete through a brutal schedule like that. It's good for the fans to watch those type of games but bad on the players health at a 1A school with low numbers. I do agree to having about 3 tough games in the regular season. This year we only had 2 so it was okay. We just don't need to be playing the sale creeks every week to prepare for the playoffs.

Let me ask you a question. Do you think Grider and that Mathis man would play each other about three times each year? Grider needs to play that McKamey man again to. You think im joking but im not.

6-4 and have several out with injuries is the only concern I have. I think it puts you at a disadvantage in the playoffs by risking injury on a small roster size.

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
