OH GOD cue "FBE" and the Maryville crowd to remind you that Alcoa is terrible in comparison to Maryville High School. I'm actually surprised that they haven't already made a comment.

wow is all I have to say. You evidently have no life considering you either: 1. are totally obsessed with me 2. have so much time on your hands that you dig through 3 month old threads in order to say "HAHA YOU WERE WRONG." For some reason I feel sort of weird about that, like you might show up at my house with an axe or something. Way to be a total psycho Mr. Weirdy Weirderstein.

that's actually the truth, I think Alcoa had over 100 yards of penalty yards in arbitrary personal fouls in JUST the first half. The referees were completely clueless.

Don't say that I didn't tell you so. I would suggest having SUB FORUMS for the plus members only. This would be motivation for people who HATE the general forum to become plus members. Otherwise, the general populous can hang out in the general forum with all the chaos. The quick, back n' forth replies are what keep message boards alive -- there is no debating that.

The point in what i was trying to say is this. All that "clutter" breeds a successful message board. A very small inconvenience for some people is a HUGE success for this website in the long-term. I am happy to go on the record here. Sub forums are the beginning of the end to the popularity, and more importantly growth, of this website. I won't say anymore than I already have. I would have prefered to PM coacht rather than pubically post this.

Since I don't have the capability of private messaging you, i'll just type it here I guess. I've been posting on internet message boards since I was about 13 or 14 years old (many years ago). The theorhetical concept of "sub forums" is great, not unlike communism; however, "sub forums" are the kiss of death. If you are interested in the growth of this website I would absolutely strongly suggest switching back to the old way. As chaotic as it may be, having ALL the people viewing/posting/flaming in the main football forum is GREAT for this website. With sub forums there will be less posting overall, and certainly less interest across the board. I'm sure you're a smart person and have taken all this into consideration already, but i'm speaking from a lot of experience in posting on message boards. General Mayhem, TribalWar, Something Awful -- the top 3 message boards on the internet -- none of them went to sub-forums until they had 1 million posts.

I think it's pathetic that the SAME Maryville fans hijack every thread with "Alcoa" in the title. I can't click on any meaningful threads anymore because the same idiots ruin every thread. I use this message board to try to keep up with Alcoa's season, and after 2 pages it always turns into "Hey look over here @ Maryville -- we're jealous of Alcoa getting any press!" It's the SAME people over and over and over again. I'm just sick of it, so instead of complaining anymore I am just not going to visit this site anymore. Im just disappointed that the site admins don't ever do anything about this problem. Locking threads is only a temporary solution. By the way, there are a lot of really cool Maryville fans. I'm only talking about the same few people who insist on trying turn every thread about Alcoa vs. "somebody" into a Maryville is GOD over Alcoa thread. Shame on the Alcoa fans involved as well, because they are just as much of a problem.

Alcoa would be moving DOWN by going up to 3A.

Knoxville SIIIIIIIDE!

did alcoa call off the dogs, or did they only score once w/their starters in the 2nd half? Nevertheless, i'm surprised they scored 42 points.

give me a break.

yeah I agree with you. I think 1A is weaker than 3A, but 2A is definitely more competitive across the board than 3A. That blows a lot of people's minds so I quit saying it about a year ago.

dude Alcoa played the defending 4A STATE CHAMPS Maryville, the defending 3A STATE CHAMPS Fulton, a perrenial power from Kentucky, and one of Chattanooga area's best teams McCallie. You're just misinformed.

I think technically Alcoa doesn't qualify for 1A in football anymore. In basketball they might still qualify. But they are right on the cusp, and have a long way to go before being moved to 3A.

double post for the ban.
