Recommended Posts

Looks like Fulton already got schedule filled ... what a change from 4A .. had the toughest time getting teams to play ... but looks like they got a good schedule .. playing out of region 3 teams that went deep into playoffs .. AE (semi's) , Maryville( semi's) and Central (finals) and added Carter who is playoff bound each year and improving under Jeff McMillan ... gonna be some good games with region games against Oak Ridge, West , Campbell Co, Powell, Karns and Clinton ... we would have had to travel to Chattanooga about 3 or 4 times a year in 4A and would have had trouble filling schedule probably ...

I heard that Knox Co. told schools that had to play Fulton, Farragut, A-E or the AD would make out the schedules himself. Now this is a rumor and I don't know how good the source is. Heard it at a local sporting goods store.

I think there is a rule that if you have common open dates and you are Knox Co schools you have to play .... makes sense to keep money in those schools I guess .. doesnt apply to privates like Knox Catholic who will have a hard time scheduling .. and to beat all they are in a regions with  only 5 teams so they will have to get 6 non region games .. good luck getting any Knox Co school to play ... they will probably be playing CPA and traveling to Nasville or KY again .. on top of thier road trips to Rhea Co abd Chattanooga teams .. they got some travel to do still .. they said thats the reason they didnt go private cause they might have to go to Memphis 1 time a year .. but we all know MBA, Brentwood , Ensworth etc ...... changed their minds on that ...

I saw the schedule and it begins with an immediate rematch with Central. It's a tough looking schedule. I know them Falcons have a good amount of skill players coming back but the offensive and defensive line I'm told is bare. I know they have a couple that will take the reigns but they need depth. If there are any 8th grade linemen out there and are zoned for Fulton or whatnot this is the time to absolutely go to Fulton with a chance to start as a freshman. I missed the pass 3 championship years and I hear so many stories everyday...I'd kinda like to see it for myself too.

Here we go again with the knoxville catholic stuff again. It had been said over and over that football was not the determining factor for staying in Division 1. It was all the other sports. Basketball, baseball, tennis,cross country, volleyball. These kinds can't travel 2 and a half hours to Nashville and then 2 and a half hours back on school days every week. Football would not have a problem with the traveling. The other sports would have the problem.

Tadvols is right, KCS has a rule in place that requires Knox County teams to schedule one another for non-region games. They've been doing this since 2013, I think. If I remember correctly, Powell had scheduled a home-home with Sullivan South (2013-14) when KCS stepped in with that rule, replacing SS with Fulton.

Ridiculous rule! Don't beat teams by 80 and you will find teams that will play you outside of Knox County. I am sure people will want to blast me for that but sometimes the truth hurts.

Catholic's schedule is done.  Wasn't as hard as everyone thought it would be to find games.  Funny thing is a lot of schools contacted them to play. Catholic didn't expect the TSSAA to place them in the region they were put in.  Not sure how true it was, but apparently there were some grumblings from  schools about Catholic being in their region. But in reality Catholic's location placed them in that region. I know people refuse to believe or even listen but not going to D2 was based on the other athletic teams as well, not just football.  I know everyone believes the sun sets on football, but it would have affected other teams as far as travel. The myth that Catholic has all this money is ridiculous and all this "I know someone" talk or "I heard" is just that talk.  Like another poster said, if they were losing or hovering around .500 no one would care. Forgive my ranting TadVols I don't want to become Alcoa and hijack a thread lol.  You guys should be very good next year.  I think the Irish will struggle losing so many players on both sides of the ball a lot of production will be lost to graduation.

    • 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.
