I've got a funny feeling that Coach Meadows and his new staff will have the Govs back on the right track next year./wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Yep, 68-0 and it was 54-0 at the half. Alcoa won't be tested until the semis. I hope to see Milan in the Boro.

I don't care if the score is 2-0 as long as Alcoa wins!! hahaha

Why are they private then?? explain to me how all that works because I don't understand. I figured since they did pay their students then they had to be private.

I'm willing to bet my life that Alcoa's not recruiting. I played on the 15-0 2000 Alcoa team I know for a fact all 40 players were from Blount Co.!! Sure there's kids that transfer in from other schools, but it's not like our coaches are going out and begging those players to come to Alcoa. Alcoa doesn't need to recruit! The talent has always been there we just needed the right coaches. Randall Cobb and Brandon Warren sure weren't recruited and look were they are now! Both will be starting in the SEC this weekend! So save that recruit bull for someone else??

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Goodpasture and DL used to be private or don't they still recruit or pay students?? I'm not sure if they still do, but I know Alcoa owns GP and destroyed DL the last time they played!! and beat Brentwood in 89 for the gold ball!!

If Alcoa and Maryville had $20,000 scholarships to give out then I bet they'd have a lot more gold balls! There wouldn't be a team on the east coast that could touch them!! Alcoa played McCallie in 05 and 06 and won both, so believe me private schools can be beat!!

If we make it that far?? I believe Alcoa's schedule favors them more than your Mighty Rebs. Alcoa will make it that far and be the first to 5!! Are the Rebs going to make it???

You're the first person to ever give me credit for this and I appreciate it. There's something about that chant that got our team focused.

What's up Rebel Ron and Skibo and everybody else!! it's that time of year again and I've got a weird feeling about this one. I don't know why and I'm still trying to figure it out but this one is gonna be closer than the 2000 game. Should come down to a last second field goal with Brodus kicking a 40 yarder to win 24-21! hahahahhaha Just a thought! /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

I don't get enough credit for bringing this tradition to Alcoa! I started this chant back in 2000 and it's still going to this day! I should be getting paid for this!! hahaha! Alcoa must BELIEVE they can win this game! When we beat the Rebs in 2000, we knew we could win the game and there was nothing that could stop us! There was no doubt at all on that team and that's the attitude Alcoa must have on Friday. They must KNOW they can win and hit Maryville in the mouth for 4 quarters!

I'm glad to be back. haha, I wasn't gonna say anything on this thread but I couldn't sit here and let Milan talk non sense about their athletes compared to Alcoa's! If Milan makes it to the boro I'm willing to bet Alcoa wins by at least 20!!

Milan may have good athletes, but they aint matching up athlete to athlete with alcoa. How many D1's has Milan ever produced?? Alcoa will have 3 starting in the SEC this year. 2 at UK and 1 at UT

You're just too young my lad to understand how good some of Alcoa's opponents were in the past! The region wasn't as lopsided as it is now.

Yeah I could try to get you a copy of all 4 rounds of the 89 playoffs. I must find the tape though and take it to the elementary.

I still own those two playoff games on tape and you guys were pretty good. It seemed like all teams in the area were good and athletic. Even seymour looked good on tape.

When will people learn? Just because you're a 5a school doesn't mean you have the better athletes or team, just more students! Maryville did whip Alcoa, but don't think that the game wasn't close for most of the game. GQ and Co. just pulled away, there's not many teams in the state that can whip Alcoa and that's in any classiification!!

Heck Alcoa usually has the better athletes but we just can't seem to beat that well, oiled, Machine! haha

You guys just don't understand how Maryville plays in big games! In 05 Alcoa was supposed to be the most talented team in the state and the Rebs could have beaten them by 60. GQ & Co. would find a way to win and I'm willing to bet on that.

I will do. I talked to him tonight and he said that he talked to Indiana coaches today. I don't know what that means but it could add another school to the mix.

I know for a fact that I know him more. In case you're his mother, father, or brother then I got you there. He doesn't even know who you are cause I asked him and told him what you said and he said that he didn't know who you were. So I'm sure I'm right about this one.

Rebelron you always seem to hit it right on the head. All of your post seem to make the most sense out of everyone. I do remember hearing about that 93 cleveland team. I didn't get to see them in person but I heard alot about them.

First off, that 2000 heritage team was probably their best team ever! Did you even come to any games in 2000? If you did then you'd know that we just didn't run the wing t. We went 4 and 5 wide when we threw the ball also, and how dare you say that lanxter was as good as meschendorf! Kyrus made great plays, but he wasn't physical at all. Messy seemed to be in the right place all the time and he was as smart as they come on the field. He did make all-state at safety! 7 from 00 make all-state, now that's hard to do on any team! the 05 team was bigger up front and had play makers, but their db's weren't that great! Good, but not great!

If you haven't noticed the recruiting ways have changed somewhat since the early days. I'm not taking anything away from these players, but there were plenty of players in the 90's and early 00 that were better than these you have listed and most never went on to play college ball. I know for a fact that the 05 secondary wouldn't last a quarter with the team speed of the 00 or 89 team. now the 00 team had probably the best safety Alcoa's ever had in Meschendorf and I do believe that secondary only gave up 100 yrds. one time that year and that was Marvyille. This is just my opinion though.

Now I stated that the 89 team was the best, but I will not agree with them being faster than the 00 team. Billy Williams was fast, but he will tell you himself that he was no where near Rainer or Lundy! Overall team speed on the 00 and 89 team are very close but I know for a fact that Billy sure wasn't the fastest player ever.
