I still believe that it's all about the head coach and who he is allowed to surround himself with that makes a winning team. Rankin, Quarles, Whitten, and Ballard should have all been targeted when Clark retired. And if they couldn't get one of them, they should have gone after Carter instead of the "less than marginal" goofball that we now have. Carter's wins speak for themselves. Once again, look at Lafe Cook. Took the band to TOP TEN IN THE NATION 3 TIMES. And #1 in Class in the nation. And just won the TN governor's cup again. His assistants were NOT responsible for that. Expect the band to dwindle in 3 years when he leaves, just like Quarles and Maryville.

Don't tell me it's true that The Hill might have a chance to beat Maryville. £But it is, oh is. Live'n in a new world, with an old soul. Them rich men south of Richmond wanta have total control.... [but won't]. Choke SH choke.

I can totally agree with that. There are several DB should have hired but didn't. Chose a good ole [awful] insider boy instead

I agree. And JoyC is basically correct. Right? Until the football team get anal s o b like the band director, the football program is doa.

As usual, very savy call.

DB had one of those. He tried to take DB down to the db level. (Dobbyns Bentit to ole Coon Skin caps's school.)

WaCoJaCo: "I think DB had a 18 game win streak over SH before SH went on this run. But that was when Darrell Watson was the defensive coordinator. When Watson left it turned DB into an average program and they've never recovered. " That is so true. We need another Darrell. We don't need another "Joker" for head coach. So where does being down from being down put DB?

Hey look Daddy, your boy ain't that good. So forget Pappy.

I do hope you're more correct about the "Tribe" thing than the readiness thing. 71-63? Not ready. Last year was a fluke just as I suspected. Was it Waco that said we're a band school now? Apparently we are. And you know, I'll take that. At least the band is consistently, competitively, placing in the top 10 IN THE NATION. Yeah. Ill take that.

Meow. Yum. Repatriated lizards. Honestly, I don't see the Indians making it past the Knox area teams. But then I was surprised last year.

Well, I wasn't trying to say it's something new. I am saying the use of the word "Tribe" seems to be replacing "Indians". Wokeness in Kingsport politics. I do know we have a left leaning school board. A former head of the board is a left wing fanatic. Yeah, even in my ancient days of yore, The Tribe was was used as a nickname but we were Indians.

Well, to real basketball. What are your thoughts on the chances that the INDIANS could go deep into the playoffs this year? They looked good against The Powder Puffs Friday. But so would North if they still existed.

It seems these days, at least in basketball, that all I see is "Tribe" this and "Tribe" that. "Tribe Nation" at the end of the court. "The Tribe" everywhere including this board. What? These are "The Indians" not "The Tribe". So what's going on here? Perhaps a little left wing attempt to slowly and subtilely take away the word "Indians" relative to Dobyns-Bennett? What we really need to do is get rid of the word "tribe". Why? Because the radical Left that wants to take away our heritage is actvely trying to divide us into tribes and put labels on us. Time to stop it.

Holy moley Waco. I'm for sure that I don't carry any weight with these guys like you do, but can I go with you? I've always wanted to sit with RW & Uncle Stars. I think. I promise to cheer for Murvul. (As if I need to promise)

What makes you think 93 is a dude? Maybe the response was a monthly thing of a dudette. No, it'll be DB in a real battle. Then as bad as MV is, DB is worse so they die at Maryville - again.
