Bottom line is I have my opinion, everybody else has theirs, thats what this forum is for. I really dont care if you like what I say or not. I wore the K ON THE SIDE, that tells you a time frame. I broke a bone in my ankle in practice my junior season and I started all 5 games until this happened. I have no reason to rip anyone, other than the fact that , how many conference titles have we won? too many to count. How many states since '64? 0. How many disgusting 1 and outs, too painful to count. How many times should we have won the game we were eliminated from ? also way too many to count. How long do we stay content to be a big fish in a small pond? thats what this discussion is all about., one thats growing every year in the stands every Friday night ., cause Im always there on Friday night and hear it. DBSMOKE blow your smoke up some other peoples as---, yea you'll get some people that will agree cause they dont want to hurt some good ole boys feelings, but the fans, and players I know want to win. If that means taking over the middle school programs to get it done, so be it, but after lets throw out some numbers--like the last 20 years whats the win percentage in the playoffs? So there SMOKE, thats my opinion, like it or not. like i said I dont care. Oh yea you mentioned somewhere about straping something on? sorry not in to that sort on activity

Yes, I could have stated it better, but I was at work last night, and half asleep. I think Sevier, and RNR gives D-B a good start at talent, but the coaching is so terrible, we sometimes dont get to see it until they are Juniors and seniors., or maybe not at all since they are so far behind from lack of the simple skills they need for high school. #2 I guess what I should have said was It is the Mac daddy, no doubt, but half the town could care less. Go to some other programs where they are consistantly good year after year, and the WHOLE town gives their support from the bill boards at Hardees to small business owners simply writing good luck to their team on the glass of their shops. We dont have that, and maybe never will because the 3 schools here are so close together, theres too much b--tchin and fighting.

From living in Knoxville and following football in the area for a few years I can tell you what I know to be true about M'ville. 1. I can tell you that Maryville has an excellent feeder program. 2. M'ville is a 'regional' football team. The may not recruit, per se. But, they have a 'regional' flavor as do most great teams in the area. 3. GQ has surrounded himself with quality assistant coaches. Several of his coaches are former head coaches. And, GQ is himself and excellent game day coach. Maybe the best playcaller. M'vill doesn't get out coached. 4. GQ is also the AD at M'ville. Excellence is expected in their program. Heck, they even won a state basketball tournament a few years back. Ask youself how DB stacks up in each of the above. THIS IS A GREAT POST! 1. -D-B HAS A GOOD FEEDER PROGRAM 2nd_- D-B is not just Kingsports team, Kingsporters have kids in 3 schools. This town is not just behind THEIR city's program anymore. The stupid Kpt. Times is not even behind them now 3rd-Graham is a good enough coach, and with the exception on Mr. defense Watson, and a very good young Mr. Wagner is not surrounded by quality assistant coaches.-too much buddy buddy, what I did back in the day, or who my daddy was, or how much i put in the QB club coaches. 4th.-Graham is the best choice for AD. This guy we have now is a crumb from the table of a Science Hill leftover. He single handedly ruined the basketball program, and I know parents that dont even want their kids playing any sport that he's associated with. 5. The head coach of D-B with the talent they bring from both middle schools, needs to take over BOTH PROGRAMS. This is a horrible example, but why do you think D-B has the undisputed best band in the state, with people standing in line just to get in?-the connection? D-Bs band director, is in touch with both middle schools and they know what to practice, what to play, what to expect and what it takes to be the best in TN period. 6. I bet Maryville doesnt have coaches thay refuse to let the head coach at the high school his players will be attending oversee the program that feeds him his players, and I'll also bet that they dont have a coach, or coaches, because D-B has had two of them, that are low enough to send their kids to play against the coach of the high school they're feeding- tell me im wrong 1-St clair, 2 Hoover. Neither of which should have been coaching anyway. refer to line 3 Until this changes, we should all be content to go at least 1 extra round in the playoffs. the truth hurts huh?

Thats taking a big bite of someones ---!

Is that "fuzzy math" ? He he, thats the new city math.

I will agree that too many DB fans sit on their hands. They do travel as good as any team in the state, and the ones that do travel are usually very vocal. On another thread, it was said the South faithful was brobably band parents??? give me a break, DB has the biggest band in the state, and if only 1 parent left, it would only be about 400, South appeared to have about 100 in their band, but more like 1500 left in the 3rd, go figure?

This game came down to DB getting shoved into a corner, and fighting their way out. Death Valley was their corner. One team left with some respect, the other their pants torn but lives to fight another day. DB will have to play with that same intensity from here on out, because the Boone game opened the door for the locals, its up to the Indians to shut it back.

So far I've seen South, DB, Science Hill and Boone play, soon to see TN High this weekend. Here's my take based on what i've seen. South tons of talent, 1st game still in their heads and understandable. Huge line both ways, but lacking in the psych. dept. (DB) DB down on talent, but big on heart, headbusting RB. better get em this year, because the have much talent yet to play varsity. Science Hill, maybe more wasted talent than any school in the area, no coaching, but big talent coming from underclassmen. Boone, big heart, very good linebacker, will make you very sore on Saturday. Could make some noise in a few weeks. TN High, from what I can tell maybe the most talent in the backfield(QB AND 2 GOOD BACKS) we'll see this weekend.
