Could be true...our nanny, maid, butler and driver were off on Friday due to the hard work they put in onThanksgiving day.

Good luck to CAK next week. Oh wait!!!! HAHAHAHA!

Thanks for the kind words realmen. Glad to hear our boys acted with respect. Thanks for the hospitality last week. Hard fought game.

Uh...Wrong here also. Zero credibility.

Nope. Its a Star.

Dang it...Luther Hastings was the name I was gonna use.

Loser!!!

Whoever you are, stay away from the personal jabs about our individual parents. This is a football forum and needs to stay that way.

Easy now LuckyLuther, hope your not insinuating what I think you are. Your post is totally out of line. Get a grip. Who's the one hiding things? Reveal your real name and re-post your comments big man. That is unless, your afraid ot what might be out there. Hmmmm!!!

The whole purpose for the multipler in TSSAA is that they (TSSAA) feel some private schools have the advantage of "non zoned" athletes attending a private school and becoming a powerhouse in sports. Correct? So why can a student athlete transfer to a Blount county school and pay 500.00 TUITION, and not be sujected to the multiplier? Hmmmm!!!! Curious.

I guess Catholic's side of the field wasn't wet?

HECK YEAH!!!! T$$AA is a money grubbing institution. I totally agree, no need for 6 classifications in football. Without a doubt the worse high school governing body in America.

Indian, I hear you. At one time Catholic was in DII. The travel was realy tough. Getting back to Knoxville from Chattanooga or Nashville at 1 a.m. on a Tuesday night after a baseball or basketball game is a hard on the student athlete. It was an option that wasn't even considered this go 'round. If I'm not mistaken, the Baylor's, Brentwood Academy and Webb's of the world CAN recruit and give scholorship money because they are in the Private school division. I know that Webb recruits and pays tuition money. Which is perfectly legal in their division. I'm not sure that Catholic has the resources to compete in that market if they were to go back to private school division. Could be wrong. I'm without a doubt whining about what went down today. Since 2010 we've been hoping to get back to a more competitve division, where at the beginning of each season, we actually thought we could advance from our district. You know, it's a tough pill to swallow, but we'll have to deal with it for at least another 4 years. Thanks for your input. Whining in Knoxville.

No, the schools that are forced to use a 1.8X multiplier are significanty smaller than their non multiplier district counterpart. We have a case where a school with an enrollment of 630 students is forced to compete in a distrct with school enrollments up to 2000 students due to this crazy rule. The numbers just don't add up. Staistics have proven, for obvoius reasons, that the injury rates are much higher for the smaller schools. The reason we have different classifications in High School is to equal things out. Schools of the same size typically have about the same amount of depth. Size does matter. I'm still trying to figure out why a team with 650 students (approx. 325 boys) sould have to schedule a school with an enrollment of 2000 students (approx. 1000 boys). Sure I'm whining, but I've seen some pretty serious injuries over the last 3 years. Someone please try to sell me on the TSSAA logic. I thought they were smart enough to realize that this joke of a multiplier (HIGHEST IN THE NATION) was not working...Guess I was wrong.

There shouldn't be a multiplier at all. Let the chips fall where they may.
