When 75% of member schools vote to split in 2002, and the board of control, legislative council, and Uncle Bernard decide on their own that there will not be a split, you call that majority rule. DougS, I really do not understand what your point is other than you just support the private schools in DI with a blindfold on. That is not majority rule, it is T$$AA exerting power over the public with out any oversight from a higher power. Self police? Maybe that is what the T$$AA is doing, no that is what THEY ARE DOING! You seriously do not think that colleges and universities turn each other in? You are not really looking at the HS public vs private situation realistically!

I DON'T NEED TO DO ANYTHING I DON'T WANT TO DO , MONKEY WRENCH

Private school are all about boys sports, except the likes of Webb or CPA. THE MAIN REASON THAT PARENTS SEND THEIR GIRLS TO PRIVATE SCHOOL IS TO KEEP THEM AWAY FROM ALL OF THOSE PUBLIC SCHOOL BOYS.

I vote for BIGDANTEAGUE FOR T$$AA PRESIDENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The advantage of a private school playing in the public league is that the private school recruits from where ever they can and a small public has to play with who is in their defined school district/zone or what ever you want to call it. (We can have an open zone/semi-private school discussion anytime later, I think that they have the same advantage as a private, but lets just keep it totally private and not semi-private right now). I KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO SAY THAT PRIVATES IN DI DON'T RECRUIT, BUT THEY DO. T$$AA JUST DOES NOT WANT TO INVESTIGATE EVERY RECRUITING RULE VIOLATION THAT IS REPORTED TO THEM. IF THE T$$AA WAS SERIOUS ABOUT ENFORCING THEIR RULES THEY WOULD HAVE A SATELITE OFFICE IN KNOXVILLE, JACKSON, MEMPHIS, THE BURO, AND CHATTANOOGA. THEY DON'T WANT THAT BECAUSE UNCLE BERNARD AND THE T$$AA MAFIA WOULD LOOSE ALOT OF MONEY, PLUS THEY ARE AFRAID OF THE PRIVATES (THEY FEAR A LAWSUIT LIKE BA SLAPED ON THEM BACK IN THE DAY. THEY ARE ALSO AFRAID OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE MEDIA, JUST TO NAME A FEW. GRACE IN KNOXVILLE WAS CHEATING AND ALL THE GOT WAS A SLAP ON THE RIST AND THEY KICKED THE KID OUT OF SCHOOL WHEN HE BECAME INELIGIBLE. THEY SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE DEATH PENALTY, SENT TO THE REGIONS OF BIG BOY BALL IN DII INSTEAD OF BEATING UP ON THE small publics. Put T$$AA under control of the state legislature or governors office and things will change. We will get back to the democratic policies of majority rule.

Are you there sky dog. GO PUBLICS!!!!!!

And another thing, why don't all of you privates help out your brothers in DII. They have to travel all over the state for a game. You all could really help them out. I think it is a little two faced to not join them in their division. Just work harder like the private supporters tell the publics. Don't you privates in DI tell your kids about hard work and playing against the best competition? You all have no problem telling the publics how to act. I really have not seen anyone on the DII part of coach t saying that they don't want you private playing in the public division schools to not man up and join them!

Who says this is not a rule, just you. Does the National federation of High school sports recognize the other high school sports associations championships in Tennessee. And what about the oversight by the state legislature or the governor, do you have an objection about that ? Why are the privates so scared of playing their own kind of schools. I wish the publics would bolt and form their own association. I support privates that play by their own rules like MUS, Webb. BA, ECS, Ensworth, St Georges, and all of the rest of the privates that are man enough to play by the private school rules in DII. I could care less if they recruit as long as the publics don't have play them for a championship. Private schools in DI don't have an argument to stay in DI. They are really just afraid of playing Webb.

The solution to the T$$AA being able to run the show with out anybody having any control over their decisions or their members decisions or their legislative council or their board of control members decisions is to make them subject to review by the state legislature of the state of Tennessee. If the public schools can show Uncle Bernard that the state legislature or the governors office will have oversight over Uncle Bernard's decisions and the rest of the T$$AA mafia decisions then you will have the T$$AA mafia and Childress dictatorship doing what they should be doing, running T$$AA like a democracy and not a dictatorship. What ever happened to the theory of the will of the people (public schools) vs the will of a few rich and privileged (private schools). We have TWRA that has control over fish and wildlife that is a state agency that is subject to the state legislature, but we have an agency (T$$AA mafia) that has control over humans lives and they have total control over their own actions with out any oversight from the state legislature or the governors office. T$$AA makes the majority of their money from public schools that are funded by state taxes that are appropriated by the state legislature. Where is the oversight. Let the private schools leave and have their own association. There are other high school sports associations in Tennessee that have championships. Let the privates go and compete for their own championships. If their association or championship is not recognized by the National Federation of High School Sports, and that is why the privates don't want to leave the T$$AA because of that reason, then there argument to keep playing with the public schools IS ALL ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS. Uncle Bernard and the rest of the T$$AA MAFIA will tell everyone concerned that it will be total heck if the T$$AA is taken over by the state government. What they fear is the state having control of their money and power. What they really fear is another lawsuit like Brentwood Academy slapped them with back in the day. Face it, Uncle Bernard and the T$$AA ARE AFRAID OF THE PRIVATE SCHOOLS BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY GOT IT HANDED TO THEM BY BRENTWOOD ACADEMY.

Sorry about that slip up in spelling. English was not a strong point at Bluegrass, plus we skipped to go fishing a lot. Plus Starz post are so entrusting tat I em loosing mi ablity too spells.

What took so long stars? Now my cover is blown and the Mafia will be after me. I am shaking, and don't know what to do. Maybe COACH Twill protect me from the Mafia. OK Stars, send anybody but peep vol, he is so scary! You have to admit though, Stars the parkway did make your garbig runz eazer . You will never hav to by a big Jon boat to get across Ft. Nasty. But you could start up Wrights Ferry and Lowes Ferry agin and get some of those boys from Red Hollar, Rocky Hill, and Bluegrass, I herd they was pretty tuff.

So that is what the slant man and all of his Alcoa buddies do after the game!

Seems that a few privates that play on the publics dime (they play DI), are saying that if there is a split that they want it equitable, for example we don't want to play schools our size like Webb and Ensworth. What ever happened to the theory of work harder and quit whining like the privates playing in DI always throw in the small publics face. Kind of different when the worm has turned on the other side. But don't worry little privates, Uncle Bernard won't make you play Webb, and Ensworth would not even bother scheduling you. Plus he won't throw the open zone semi privates in with you. He does not want the privates leaving and taking all their money to their new association. I don't think the T$$AA has the backbone to make the right decision and split public and private, so the publics should present their plan for their own association to the media after T$$AA makes the wrong decision and does not make the split.

I guess you went through the same computer program as the slant man at Alcoa and just skipped English.

If T$$AA does not do the right thing and make the privates quit riding the public school train for free, publics need to form their own association and end this power for money game the T$$AA has been running for too long.

Surprised that I did not get a reply from the Maryville Mafia, but I knew the other school that benefits from the parkway would show up. I guess the Maryville boys are still fighting over who should be on the statues/monuments at the school after George retires. Or maybe the Gov Man and the rest of the WB mafia are entertaining them. I figured it would be the slant man with one of his catchy videos. I guess they are just skipping English over at Alcoa for the tuition students/players and going right to how to use youtube on coach T. Or maybe the slant man's girlfriend/wife/cousin was out working and could not help him spell.

Ensworth and Maryville played a scrimmage game and Ensworth put a spanking on them. (There was a clock and officals though)Maryville will never schedule Ensworth. Maryville will never schedule a DII private school like Ensworth, BA, MBA, MUS, CBHS, Baylor, or McCallie. They did schedule Webb instead, and I bet Webb called them. Other 6A schools have scheduled the big private schools but Maryville never will. The split is about the privates playing in DI. They don't want to have to compete with Webb. Webb would still dominate their division of DII-A if their was a split and that is who most of the privates playing public would have to play against. They don't want any part of Webb. The other part of keeping a split from happening are the open zone schools. They think that if there is a split, then they might be a part of it in some way. Either a multiplier, or just go play with the privates. Big George and Gary won't let that happen. And none of the 6A or 5A schools have to compete against a private school for a championship. That went away with Catholic going down. Once Catholic went back down out of 5A then the split argument lost the 5A/6A support. The wild card right now is still Catholic. Remember when they switched from private to public. Did not win a championship in the private division, but it was not long until they were whipping all of the publics in E Tenn and then won a championship. That really smelled bad and I am sure that Fulton really had a lot of input on getting Catholic kicked back up with the big boys in 5A/6A. Well guess where Catholic is now? Fulton does not even have to loose to them to get the ball rolling to end the Catholic problem for ever. When Baby Falcons best running back is playing for Catholic, you know what is going to hit the fan. And Fulton and the rest of the publics are right. There should be a split. Then work on the open zone problem. Plus coaches don't really care about rivalries that much. You just replace old rivalries with new ones. Plus open zone does not automatically equate to football or sports success. Some open zone schools us it for academics or other programs to help students other than in football. But not Maryville or Alcoa. When CAK won a state championship and broke Alcoa's streak, they broke ground on a bigger school very quickly, And it's not to get more merit scholarship of band students in school. Plus Maryville has QB'S from Halls and linemen from Farragut. And they both have played on Sunday in the Bible belt. If you really want to look at what has made Maryville better then just look at when Pellissippi Parkway was opened. Maryville was not as good as they are now in the 80,s and early 90,s. Just look at the pictures at the stadium. When the parkway was opened in the middle 90,s it was a new ball game for Knox county students(players) to get to Blount Co. They no longer had to think about trying to go down Alkillyea Hwy to get to Maryville. The students (players) going to Alcoa came from So knox after you got past Alcoa Hwy. They could not afford the $1000.00 to go to Maryville so they went cheap and saved $500 by going to Alcoa .Gambler, It really is simple to just use history and geography to se how it is done. I don't know about the other open zone schools in or around Knoxville, because apparently football is not king there like it is south or Fort Loudon Lake, or Lake Loudon like they call it on TV.

If Alcoa and Maryville don't need out of zone players, then why do they keep that option for their school, other than needing a few great tuba players, merit scholars, or chess team members? Seems like they are using the Putin propoganda method. We don't have any troops in Urkrane,( WE DON'T HAVE OR NEED OUT OF ZONE PLAYERS).

I think Bearden beat WB pretty bad in 07?

Just think of all the great rivalries that some of these private schools could have if they went to D II. Grace v Webb, CAK v Webb, Boyd v Webb, ND v Webb, Catholic v Webb (for a State Championship), CPA v Webb. Basically every private school in D I that would not go to the top private division if there was a complete split that would have to play Webb, unless the privates went to three classifications. If there was a complete split between public and private schools there would be enough schools to have three divisions. The old travel argument that the privates used to ride on the back of the public schools for their success, (and to not have to play Webb) is over. I talked to a major booster/parent/donor from one of the private schools in Knoxville that said the petition in the TSSAA to split public private is really picking up support in Knoxville and East Tennessee because of the way(recruiting) Knoxville Catholic is getting players. Their own parents and boosters brag to everyone how they are getting any player they want and that has brought a lot of attention from people who want a split, especially Knox Fulton people. Seems like the Shomperant brothers have crossed to many lines and now they will have to compete with Webb instead of Fulton for a State Championship. This booster/parent/donor also told me that all that it will take is for a media person to do some snooping and get some people to talk and get it in the paper so T$$AA will have to investigate. I don't think that Jesse from the Sentinel would do it because he is too scared to report anything real because he would loose all of his coaching buddies and no one would come on his TV or radio shows. Plus then George would get scared the Jesse would come after the Maryville Mafia, or Gary would just beat him up.Also his boss at the paper is Catholic. Maybe those guys from the Chattanooga paper will do the job. They don't seem to be afraid of anyone.

Do they have a coach or a field/stadium?

Anyone know the record of the team he was OC @ in NJ? What size school was it, how competitive was the league they were in, and what was the make-up of the student body. What type of offense did he run? Points scored average, and was it a passing or running based offense. Were they ever shut out or held to under 10 points. How much, (if anything other than a TSU career, coaching stints Hillsboro, OR, and Hankensack), Central fans do you know about your new coach. Does a Blade endorsement, now carry as much a Quarles endorsement? Seems like a lot of the new coaches around ET are getting jobs based on who they know, not on what they have done as coaches.

No on knows who has been hired!

It is a secret to me. Tell everyone who Central has hired if you say you know who it is!

Does anyone have any information Concord Christian. Do they have a schedule and a HC?
