McCallie, The Citadel (where one of Turner's son went) and Brown University (where Turner went and got expelled) are each beneficiaries of $25 million remainder trusts. The way they get the money is Turner dies. McCallie's endowment is $70+ million. USA1, you certainly don't allow your ignorance of the facts stand in the way of your posting.

Yeah, I understand the fear is palpable at South Bend that if they have to play UT next year in a bowl game it's because they won't be playing in the BCS.

I knew it, I knew it, there's a conspiracy at ESPN because the "top brass'" children couldn't get in to that bastion of educational excellence and now they "hate" the school. And even better, you've scooped all the media including the Sentinel with a story you can prove because your third cousins roomate's best friend heard a former walk on who didn't make the team talk about that "there was a guy offering money around UT for dirt on the program". Have you thought about going to the National Inquirer with this news? They're not much into fact checking so they might want to publish it beside the article about the Big Foot sighting near Townsend.

ESPN is a large media company owned by the Disney corporation and it employs over 1000. Are all 1000 employees part of this conspiracy to dis Tennessee? I know, I know Peyton didn't win the Heisman because somehow and never explained, ESPN figured out that by not "electing" Manning, it increased its revenue. And somehow by not ranking Tennessee high school football higher, its ratings will improve.

Lamarcus, Delmonte, Demetrice, Marsalous, Antonio, Ricardo, Rico. And my wife and I were having a tough time coming up with what to name our last!

"pre-madona"? Mary, the day before the Annunciation?

Thank you Indian, although "sarcastic" might be too strong a word. I prefer to think of it as satire. Must not have been that good of satire or sarcasm, for that matter, because oknative didn't recognize it as such. On the other hand, native must be from Oklahoma which would explain having to explain it to him. Wonder if he's a wagon burner?

You forgot the third important question. Do his parents have $17K for tuition? If his parents can answer affirmatively to the third question. McCallie will answer affirmatively to first two just as Baylor and GPS would too.

Stantrott. Those are the actual posts earlier this year on a BA/McCallie thread prior to the regular season game stating as fact not only what Ralph had supposedly done but what BA was going to do. Obviously, the posters were wrong about this and probably a lot of other things this season. The idea that some guys in Chattanooga would have any insight into what either BA or Coach Potter were doing privately is ridiculous. In order to demonstrate that fact, I used "satire". "Satire" is a literary concept that you should have been introduced to somewhere in your academic career. Generally the concept is introduced through the reading of "Gulliver's Travels" written by a guy by the name of "Jonathan Swift". He wrote it a long time ago. Does any of this ring a bell?

This is one of those incidents that fell in the public domain. As such, there not a privacy issue. Forget the kid's name, it's not important. Most of the opinions have been hypothetically stated as in: "If this happens, then this is what should happen". And besides, this is the internet. It's easy to avoid. Just hit "Control" "Alt" "Delete".

As you can read below, we in Chattanooga have from unimpeachable sources the inside scoop of what's going to happen at BA. PRIMETIME OWL, SergeantOwl22 and ssvolguy put their incredible reputations for accuracy on the line all the way back in September. How a bunch of yahoos from Ooltewah were able to prophesy the future with such certainty is a mystery that the rest of us will never be able to fathom. I understand they are ready to consult on point spreads for not only all the bowl games but will predict which teams will be in the Super Bowl and the winner. Amazing!

PRIMETIME OWL Sep 29 2006 - 03:13 PM Post #62 he will be living in nashville next year, thats all ill say SergeantOwl22 Sep 29 2006 - 04:01 PM Post #65 It starts with a B thats all I will say at this time. SergeantOwl22 Sep 29 2006 - 11:41 PM Post #80 QUOTE(ssvolguy @ Sep 29 2006 - 11:14 PM) I'll tell you right now that Potter will be coaching at Brentwood Academy next year... Mark my words... He has already signed the papers! We have our first winner. Thanks ssvolguy Sep 30 2006 - 06:44 AM Post #81 I heard before this season was even started that Potter was leaving next year. This is his last year at McCallie. Its already in the bag... Trust me. I've heard from very very reliable sources. I've just kept my mouth shut. He has already signed the papers and everything. And actually I live in Chattanooga. I'm not a BA fan ssvolguy Sep 30 2006 - 01:22 PM Post #93 I know for a fact that he is going... When the time comes I want apologies...... Its a done deal! I'm not trying to start anything. Just stating the truth. Yes, it stinks but it is the truth. I kept my mouth shut for 3 months now.

Quit taunting the Owls! They'll peck you to death.

WWLD? What would Logsdon do? Off the team. There's got to be consequences for crimes - sit out a year. There's got to be redemption - come back the next after you've learned your lesson. One of the main problems with college athletes who continually get into trouble is that all through their lives, their athletic ability is used as a "get out of jail for free card". Learning a tough lesson now might be the best thing that comes out of this.

It's such a natural rivalry that even folks from Middle Tennessee wonder why it doesn't happen. I heard ESPN is going to do a story on it "Ooltewah Owls or Chickens". Bob Costas has a call to Ed Foster wanting to know why not. Bill O'Reilly wants him to quit spinning. 2007 would be a great year to start it. McCallie's cupboard is bare. Ooltewah remains the "Champion of Most of Chattanooga". McCallie won't be able to recruit your "8th graders". You'll get to make thousands of posts on CoachT prior to the game and rub it in afterwards. I'm calling Rhonda (I do my own hair) Thurman to report this conspiracy not to play McCallie. The very fate of high school athletics hangs on whether this game gets played.

This field has been plowed and this horse has been beaten. They ain't going to play McCallie come He** or high water. They blame it on their principal. The story is he's afraid they'll recruit "his" 8th graders. The irony is one of their best players is a McCallie transfer. Instead of whipping up on Rhea and Chattanooga Central this year, scheduling some better competition might have helped them in the playoffs. Of course they'll be able to tell their kids they had an undefeated regular season and were the "Champions of Most of Chattanooga".

You got waayy political and just plain wrong when you attributed the sorry state of public education to white flight and "Christian educational systems". Those are the results of the education establishment (NEA), Federal government and ACLU screwing up public education. The breakdown of the nuclear family contributed mightly. An ancillary effect is that the only schools that can effectively discipline children (or that's what all my public school teacher friends tell me) are private and as we all know one of the most important attributes that successful teams have in common is desciplined athletes.

And you know if you're the principal at Polk County, a trip to Atlantic City is the trip of a lifetime. Not to mention being able to stick it to the big bad privates on a regular basis.

Please, let's compare entrance requirements for UNC and UT. Besides being able to fog a mirror, does UT have any others?

Heard Mike Shula was considering it. He's getting $68K per month in "retirement", so $70K per will cinch it. And with the pending big check from the TSSAA, it won't be a problem.

I just blew my coffee out of nose on that one! Since Smyrna, Riverdale, Ravenwood, etc. were actually playing 4A ball unbeknownst to the general public and the TSSAA, I guess you have valid point in some other galaxy far far away.

Public school officials with the highest IQ's are selected. The results are similar to selecting the guys with the most fingers at the leper colony.

That's because you haven't been hanging around the principal's office. Yeah, McCallie regularly drives to Alcoa, Knoxville, Niceville, FL because they don't want to play Ooltewah. This coming year would be a great one to schedule McCallie. The cupboard is bare. Ooltewah wins by 20 and you don't have to worry about getting embarrassed befrore the playoffs.

I was in the student section at Carmichael (pre Dean Dome). The students started chanting Bull**** Bull*****. Dean Smith called a timeout. Went to the PR system and announced that UNC students didn't do that. On the other hand that would be one of the few chants that Dukies do that you could post on a family website. Smith was all class.

The year Red Bank won the state championship, they rented a billboard on Dayton Boulevard and put a team picture on it. That was school and town pride. When McCallie won state the rented a billboard on Dodds Avenue and placed a picture of the state championship team on it that ,no doubt, was recruiting.

The official answer regularly espoused on Coacht is "Our principal won't allow it". The unofficial answer is "We may lose".
