    I really don't care if no one takes me serious. I won't set on here and lie to ya about something to make you mad. Others are having the same conversations around town so believe me it's not anything I made up. Like I said I know parents of some of the kids there and one keeps telling me not next year but the next Alcoa is going to take a drop that will shock everyone and had a lot to do with Rankin getting out of Dodge before it falls on him. All parents are very proud of their kids and thinks the sun sets on them and when their gone it will all go away so I do take that in consideration but have heard some real interesting things this year. 

    Yawn.

    It does no good to show the hard facts to anyone living in the dream but others can see it for themselves. You see I actually personally know more parents that have kids at Alcoa than Maryville so I want only the best for them also. If you can't see the little cracks I'm talking about wait a while you'll fall through one. You see I already know how bad Maryville had slipped but didn't realize Alcoa had slipped a little also until the West game. Then I kept seeing the other teams were putting some points on the board which I'm sure were mainly on your seconds but your seconds are your future.

    I don't post much but I read alot and you seem to always be running that flapper about things that aren't true or turn out to be meaningless. What I have noticed is that no one ever takes you serious and for good reason.

    Little disappointed Alcoa didn't move up knowing their school enrollment will swell due to the new big plants opening before next school year. If their wanting a cheap trophy that means nothing ruling over schools that clearly have no money and have more schools fighting for the bottom than the top so be it. Not good thinking on AD's part gate wise. Maybe it's in the back of his mind about the Eagleton situation, the number of kids that have quit the team on Nix or with Mr. Hard Knocks gone  to Boyd Buchanan discipline has slipped a notch. Maybe it's in the back of his mind they went from giving up 37 points during the 2019 regular season, to 43 in 2020 to 78 in 2021 to 134 this season and still got a game to go. The offense is really just trying to outrace the defense is what I'm seeing.  Before I get all the hen house stirred up over there I've always said when Maryville starts to fall you'll see the cracks in the wall very fast at Alcoa because they both feed off of each other for each one's existence and the facts are there for all to see. Don't want nothing bad to happen to neither side but I said earlier when Alcoa beat Maryville they didn't get the prize they thought they won. The West loss was to a West team that was actually better last year than they are this year. Both Maryville and Alcoa have some rotten apples especially us, about a bushel full, Alcoa just a hand full but ole Gary was master at getting rid of those before they they hurt any of the rest. Look at those numbers and tell me the AD didn't think about this before staying in his safe place in 3A.

    I don't know if it's Jealousy because maryville has become irrelevant in the last 3 or 4 years or if you just like being wrong most of the time but either way, no one takes you serious either.

    Alcoa hasnt proved it in 4A and up playoffs though, thats what really matters

    They cannot beat Greeneville, Betsy in 4A Playoffs, theyd be lucky to make 5A playoffs and out in First Round and would not make 6A Playoffs and would get Mercy Ruled by Oakland

    Regular Season does not matter, Playoffs matter

    Wins over 4A, 5A, and 6A Schools dont mean nothing since they wouldnt win 4A, 5A, or 6A Gold Balls :lol:

    Reality is that Alcoa has done fine in each classification they've been in by winning state championships and beating bigger schools including taking Fulton to the woodshed multiple times as well as Elizabethton and Greenville but leave it to fan of a nonrelevant school to cry about a team that they are like 1-14 against. Snicker

    just you wait next go around Alcoa will be in 2A or 1A cuz they are bored with 3A and are Scared of 4A :lol:

    Alcoa has won multiple state championships in 1A, 2A, and 3A on top of whipping bigger classifications top teams. You're just going to have to deal with it. Snicker.

    Just saying you guys are completely delusional if you think you could beat catholic this year. They would win by 3 scores. And they dont bring anymore more players in then Alcoa does. Even your coach knows it .Doesnt look like he wanted any of them this year lol..might be a top 5 team in your area. But your the bottom part of the top 5.

    I finally see what all the Upperman chatter was about, plus have an observation on this year's Alcoa team. I watched the 1st half of the Aloca Upperman game today and they were definitely fortunate to get get past Upperman. Alcoa struggled mightly. And at the same time Upperman had to overcome issue after issue(penalties, bad field position etc) and gave Alcoa all they wanted. One drive Upperman it seemed had 35-55 yards in penalties alone and still overcame em and continued to make 1st downs when you would think it was impossible. Alcoa went up 14-0 at halftime, you'd think, typical Alcoa would of run away with it. I don't even know the final score(haven't looked) but know it wasn't a lot. I think at least on the field(thou not on the scoreboard Upperman was better this night the 1st half I watched anyway). Upperman has some talent & size as well(OL was nasty). And Covington as well gave em a game,could of easily won.

    Now my theory

    I think the worst thing that happened to Alcoa was beating Maryville(and in hindsight a Maryville team that wasn't as good as a typical maryville team) therefore set em up for disaster. I think everyone crowned em(Alcoa) when they beat Maryville. I think they crowned themselves, the coaches, the fans, other teams, officials, media, administrators, everyone in the state crowned em after that W and they became complacent, satisfied and stagnant. They became the perceived best(top) team when in reality they weren't, at least by the presumed amount. I think Upperman, Covington, prolly PC(with some better coaching guidance) and definitely Stratford with even minimal competent coaching could and may be better than Alcoa this yr. As a disclaimer I'm in no way suggesting Stratford would ever come remotely close to beating Alcoa with what they do now, however do feel they got better athletes w/o doubt 

    Upperman was for real

    ( one thing I did hear an Upperman announcer say was that if Upperman was in the East that Alcoa Upperman would be State Title Game. Not so fast with that. I think all  Cov, Stratford, PC(thou they can't even make to quarterfinals yr after yr), Upperman & Alcoa are capable of beating one another

    Alcoa was inflated

    Alcoa still Champs however til someone beats em on the scoreboard

    Daddy what was the high point when you played football at upperman? ...Well son, we lost to Alcoa 27-14.

    Let it go bees fans. We will be back in 2019 for revenge. Nothing you can change or prove  now. Boys played a great game. No reason to keep this thread alive. We shot ourselves in the foot no matter how you look at it. Can't depend on the onside kick to try and win a game. Hind sight is 20/20. Refs could of did better. We also could of run the clock out to end the first half instead of passing and giving Alcoa the ball back. That in the end is what cost us. Coaches did a great job. Boys did a great job. There's always knowledge gained. They are now a more familiar opponent. Time will fly by and we will be in Alcoa replaying this game before you know it.

    And find out how many times we had to get the same first down two or 3 times because every time we would get one some phantom penalty call would come down to negate the first down. It will be the best 9.95 you could spend. Then you would know you have a chance against the Mighty Alcoa. Find out from these people what Gary Rankin said when he told his guys he was gonna get them more help this week? They have 20 something assistants and are they gonna bring in some more players if not where is he gonna get his help from?

    I find it glorious that you are still getting bent over your team losing.
