Go Crack 66 and go 'Kees. And yeah, Go Rebs.

AE you could have heard a pin drop on the Central sideline when Carl stuck it to them. Please get real. Maybe you can start a new trend though. I'll tell you what, you cheer when A-E's opponent scores this week from the A-E sideline and tell me of the reaction you get. I'll bet the rest of the A-E fans will love you for doing it. Let me know how it turns out. Billygoat1 again go back to the yard and eat some tin cans. Go Rebs.

But billygoat1 the kids are all the same age. Get back out in the yard and off something you know nothing about. Go Rebs.

Here's your answer. You DO have that opportunity to make that happen. I just talked to a school board member and here is the way it works. Since Maryville is a public school and recieves state and local funding, they are required by state law to educate all school age children, with of course Maryville residents and their kids being served first. Maryville City Schools is then required, since all kids have a right to be educated, (only if the space is available after all city of Maryville students are included first) to take tuition students if they or their parents are state and local tax paying residents. They are then chosen in the random draw and must be willing to pay the tuition amount, now at $1800.00, set by the Maryville City School Board. Maryville now has that available space, but may I add it is quickly decreasing, to take a limited number of students, as I stated before in a random draw. This meets state requirements for a public school as well as the rules and bylaws of the TSSAA. So, yeah it's FAIR. So you have alternatives and opportunities:

1. You could incorporate your area such as Halls, Powell, Fountain City, etc. and have your own city schools. Farragut has already incorporated, but as of now not implemented their own school system.

2. You could get your lawmakers to fund more for edcation and reinstitute middle school sports.

3. You could move to Maryville.

4. Or you could just quit crying.

By the way Maryville is no different than city systems in Alcoa, Oak Ridge, Kingsport, Clinton, Oneida, and I believe Sweetwater etc. So again what were doing is FAIR and we are required by law to educate. So get busy over there in Knox County and make a difference and quit whining. Go Rebs.

BGdiddy you are a crybaby. I told you the reason Knox County doesn't have it, because they don't want to pay for it. You are wrong, they DO have a choice. Put middle school football back in. But that costs money. So instead of bitchin' about what somebody else has, do something about your school system and their athletic programs. Pay up. Maryville does. Period. Now go back and get the pacifier put it back in before you start crying again. And if you want to cry to someone, whine and cry to the Knox County government. We don't "paint" anything, we tell it the way it is. Go Rebs.

AE you just can't leave well enough alone. I would say when a man and his friend have on red hats with a big H on them then they are not Maryville fans wouldn't you. And when they said dam_ when I told them the score, then I would say that it would be pretty evident there weren't from Maryville. And as for Maryville not cheering when Central was leading, well that's the way it works. Maryville fans would not want Central to think they were cheering for them. I didn't hear the Central sideline cheering when Carl put Maryville back in front. AE that was about the lamest of the lame posts that you come up with yet. I guess you were cheering when Fulton and AC were scoring on A-E too, right???? Please give us all a break. Go Rebs.

Godspeed to that young man. He will be remembered in my prayers.

Thanks Boorelly for your kind and truthful words. I know Quarles has great respect for Stanton and the job he has done. Some people don't want to tell the truth and that's when I get on them. I hope A-E, Maryville, and all other East Tennessee teams make it to the 'Boro. Go Rebs.

I was watching the William Blount-Heritage replay on the local cable station and heard something funny. When Gary Stinnett, the Blount P.A. guy, announced that Central was leading Maryville 24-14 that was the loudest cheer heard all night.

Want to hear something even funnier? When I was leaving the Central game Friday night and crossing Broadway to return to my vehicle, a Heritage fan stopped me and asked if Maryville had lost. I then told him no and you could see the dejected look on his face. I'm sure he was one of the masses who exited William Blount when he heard the score announced by Stinnett. So his weekend was a total wipeout. Heritage lost (as usual), Maryville won, and he used up his weeks worth of gas in the old pick-up, to hurry up to Maryville to see the Rebels lose. What a great mentality those county people have. Jealousy just kills them. Plus now there's no gas in the old pickup until the next paycheck. Go Rebs.

No it's not unfair dilweed because not everyone gets in. Maryville is a public school and therefore takes a certain number of tuition students chosen randomly, again unlike Webb, who can chose who they want because they are totally private. Knoxville City used to have a seperate system from the county, but the people in Knoxville did NOT want to get in their pockets and fund a city system anymore, so the school system fell back to the county to run. Knox County is so interested in sports that they don't even fund middle school sports anymore. So don't criticize the people of Maryville, who put there money where their mouth is, and fund great educational and athletic programs. Knoxville and Knox County could do the same, but the government over there is about as progressive as the Flintstones. That's why Sevier County has the Smokies and Florence, S.C. has the old Cherokees. So dilweed get in that pocket, elect some people who look into the future, and you could have the same thing. But until then quit crying about what's not fair, when everything Maryville has, the people of Maryville have paid for it and supported it. Go Rebs.

AE Roadrunners apparently captain thought you were out of line, and he's an A-E fan. If you don't like us, that's your right. But when you get on here and cut on Stewart about being on his "L" when he won the game, then apparently you have an axe to grind with him or you're losing touch with reality. I'm going to call you on it when you get on here and post stuff that isn't true or just silly and you try to downplay someone who played well. Props to Central. Props to Maryville. Props to Stanton and A-E. Props to Stewart. Now let's hear some props from you AE. Go Rebs.

MARYVILLEWHO I CAN say Knox County recruits. Some of the coaches in the KFL have told me of others doing it. Like I said every coach in the KFL knew Kerr recruited. Why do you think all the coaches around now call AC the Tri-county Mavericks? Helton was at Farragut and then ended up at Central. So again don't throw those rocks and tell me it doesn't happen in the KFL. Recruiting is when you go out an actively pursue and try to get kids to come to your school. Simply by having tuition does NOT constitute or even imply recruiting. Webb School relies totally on their own school tuition to fund their costs, along with funding raising and endowments etc. Last time I checked the tuition to Webb was $12,000.00 a year. That's just slightly more than the $1800.00 that Maryville uses to offset tuition costs whose parents don't pay city taxes. So then NO, Maryville is not like a private school. Maryville receives government funding at both the state and local levels. Private schools do not. Maryville takes a limited number of tuition students each year chosen randomly. Much like Alcoa, Oak Ridge, or that Roane County football power Harriman. Or for that matter any city that has a seperate school system. Maryville System teachers with kids, have the opportunity to get their children in the system as a perk, but they still have to pay tuition if they live outside the city. This applies to Ms. Stewart who has been in the system for years. So now you guys can go back and try to find something else to complain about and attack us on. Go Rebs.

BG don't try to tell me there's no recruiting in Knox County. Lyin' Larry had Randy Hall from Norris in '86 playing for the Red Devils. Plus he had numerous "recruits" from Anderson County playing at Halls during his tenure there. Now he hits Campbell County hard every summer. Todd Helton played for Farragut and mysteriously ended up at Central later on. Reggie Cobb was supposed to go to Fulton like his little brother Ty who is now at Fulton. So don't get to throwin' rocks when you live in a glass house. Go Rebs.

Well if you can't beat us on the field try to find something else wrong. Maryville takes tuition students but many are turned away. Tuition is $1800.00 per year so that stops a lot of people, plus that figure continues to rise. But when you have, according to the Nashville Tennessean, the top public school system in Tennessee, you have a lot of parents trying to provide their children with the best education they can. That goes for kids within Maryville and outside the city limits. I even know of cases where some have moved to Maryville for no other reason than to make sure their kids get in the Maryville City Schools. As far as the county schools being on par with Maryville in TCAP testing that is laughable. Just check it out. Go Rebs.

Rebelron, Clinton has improved and apparently has some weapons on offense. I really believe we just need to focus on improving our team and get in a good groove before the playoffs. Thompson needs to return to early and mid season form and he needs to find his secondary receivers better imo. But most importantly, we need to get healthy and hopefully were headed in that direction. I thought that Central played us entirely differently than last year on defense. They played off the line of scrimmage a lot more. They put Jackson on Holt, which is a good match-up for them and had safety help on the other two receivers. IMO Maryville should have stayed a little more patient with the quick hitters (dives and traps) and the overall running game. That is our strength, our OL and RB's. Then maybe we don't let them back in the game. Saw where Drew Galyon was named AP 4-A defensive player of the week. Galyon was outstanding and harrassed Helton all night long. Now let's get those Dragons and take'em one at a time. Go Rebs.

Thanks captain, like I said before, Stevens has done a great job in rebuilding A-E. MARYVILLEWHO so you're from Powell. That answers lots of questions. But you're wrong. The Maryville people who get on here are WINNERS, not losers. And your comment about Powell would beat Maryville IF they had depth. Well again as I have as I have stated before. "If IF's and BUT'S were candy and nuts what a Merry Christmas it would be."---Johnny Majors, after losing another Alabama game. Go Rebs.

AE there were 2 INT's ran back for TD's. The first was a shuttle pass that was knocked up in the air and intercepted, and the second was the pass intercepted in the flats. Go Rebs.

Us Maryville "peeps" don't overlook anyone. That's how you get a 20 game winning streak, along with back to back championships. When AE gets on here and starts slamming Maryville and spewing that venom, then you have to be able to take the heat. The one thing I don't understand though, is why all the Maryville hate? I have been very complementary of A-E's program and the job Stevens has done in rebuilding their program. Us Maryville fans don't jump on A-E posts and start downing them and their players. Also I want to give Central props. They played hard.

But the silliest comment I have ever read, was when AE said Stewart didn't do anything Friday night. The only thing he did was score the winning TD, rush for 154 yds. on 13 carries (almost a 12 yd. average), and lead his team to the win. I would say that was pretty good for a guy who was on his "L" wouldn't you. Just please AE, at least be truthful. Take off those glasses of hate that blind you. AE you refuse to give Maryville any props.

And for MARYVILLEWHO, I've got a question for you WHO. Who is your team, WHO? I'll be waiting to hear this. All of us Maryville "boys" will. I'll bet Maryville has whipped your "boys" somewhere along the way. Go Rebs.

StanTrott both teams have a long way to go. Hillsboro will probably have to beat Overton again and then go to Memphis and play either Melrose or East. Maryville will probably have to play Cleveland or Central again. Then if they get by those guys, MoTown West or Greeneville. So both teams have a tough road to go before we can talk about a Blue Cross Bowl rematch. Go Rebs.

Thanks for dropping us 64TNChUmp. I'll be able to sleep tonight. Actually the talent pool is better at Central and Maryville than it was in the '60's. The black athletes at both schools have seen to that. Segregation was after your time. Also the game you refer to in '64 was a bowl game played 3 weeks after the season had ended. Maryville took the game after putting away the pads for 2 weeks with 1 week of practice. Young did win, but get your facts straight, the score was 28-7. The polls were taken at the end of the regular season then. And polls are subjective. Thank goodness for the playoffs. By the way, do us all a favor and leave the Christ reference out of your future posts. Go Rebs.

Insider I'll bet it's real good. Central has a good team. They play hard. But to say Carl didn't do anything is ludicrous. Go Rebs.

AE you started it all, chiming in on all of Maryville's games if you think they might get beat. So you stick your neck out and hate on Maryville. Now you have to take the grief. You better be worried about your team. Whoever your team is. By the way, Carl is sittin on a big W tonight. Go Rebs.

[Edited by STARSNBARS on 10-25-02 11:54P]

Way to go Greenback. Maybe we'll get to go to the 'Boro together. Go Rebs.

Carl put the "hush" to the Central sideline with a 60+ yd. run in the 1st half for a TD. Then he put the dagger to the Bobcats in the second half with a 50+ yard run. A run which WON the game. So my question is, what the heck are you talkin' bout AE? Go Rebs.

As Johnny Majors use to say, "If ifs and buts were candy and nuts what a Merry Christmas it would be." In the playoffs Maryville will be healthier, but I will give Central props. But AE you need to give Maryville props. How many teams could turn the ball over 4 times in the 3rd quarter, trail by 10 and still pull it out? Not many. Only a CHAMPION, a BACK TO BACK CHAMPION!!!! Go Rebs.
