  1. DBturningitAROUND is right about one thing; the past doesn't matter. Having said that, most people factor in past outcomes when they are trying to predict the future. Let's talk about the present. As of right now, WB will have at least decent qb play and be able to put 3 or 4 receivers out on the field that can make plays. That spells trouble for teams with weak secondaries.
  2. I can read circles around you, bud. You talked smack earlier and the fact that you got butthurt about me thinking WB can win more games with the new schedule shows that it hurt your ego in some way. Let's look at the math. DB and SH will be the favorites in the new region and WB is 3-3 against DB in the last 6 matchups between the two teams. On the other hand WB hasn't beaten Maryville since 1999 and is 0-7 against Bradley in the last 7 matchups between the two teams. So yeah, the schedule will be easier. Anyone who disagrees with that isn't very bright.
  3. Good grief, dude. It's not all about DB. We dropped Maryville and added teams like Clinton, Karns, and Hardin Valley. And region wise we will play teams like Morristown East and Jefferson County. How is saying we can win more games against that schedule a slight to DB? But since you chose to run your mouth, WB is 3-3 against DB in the last 6 matchups between the two teams and two of those wins were in Kingsport. Like it or not, WB has been competitive with DB. And you talk about road trips, but DB has to come to WB in 2021 and we had long road trips in the old region too.
  4. Barney, Football participation is down everywhere. There are a lot of factors that contribute to that. One of the biggest factors is the fact that a lot of parents don't want their kids to play football because of the risks associated with it. I have asked parents of some of the good players that play other sports like basketball and baseball and they said they didn't want their kids playing because of injury concerns. WB usually has between 50 and 80 dressed out for varsity football. That is on par with the other 6A teams in East Tennessee.
  5. What does any of that have to do with high school football? And what do you mean by outliving its usefulness? Are you defining usefulness purely by success in high school football? Does academic success and success in other sports not matter?
  6. 1. Maryville's zone is bigger than you make it out to be. There are kids zoned for Maryville that are closer to WB and Heritage. At one point I lived 5 minutes from Heritage and my address was zoned for Maryville. 2. Most of WB's kids are within a 10 or so minute drive from the school. Heritage has a much bigger geography issue that is impossible to dispute. 3. Maryville has more kids than WB and Heritage.
  7. Barney, Are you aware that Maryville has more kids than WB and Heritage now? And your school zone keeps growing too. Your tired narratives are making less and less sense with each passing year.
  8. As far as I'm concerned, we can beat any team on the schedule. DB and Science Hill will be heavy favorites against us of course, but we have shown that we can beat good DB teams.
  9. They get the Govs in their first game in 2021. We are gonna run them off the field like we did OR in that scrimmage a few years ago. Aye momma aye!
  10. WB needs a break from Maryville. Neither team gets anything out of that game right now and the fans don't get excited. There's no mystery and everyone knows what's going to happen. After we drop Maryville for a few years and do better in the new region, I bet you anything there will be bigger crowds when we add them back to the schedule in a few years. It will be like when we played Alcoa during Shad's first two years at WB. The crowd at the 2015 Alcoa game was the biggest crowd I have seen at WB since the 2007 Maryville game.
  11. Again, all the countries that have pushed masks the hardest are going back into lockdown mode. I'm going to repeat the question: what good are masks? The CDC was urging people not to wear masks in the spring, so what changed? Masks went from being useless to a panacea. You are right when you say masks are political, just not in the way you think they are. They are a visible sign of who is willing to give up everything for a little false security. That's what this mask crap is about. The idiots yelling at people in the stores for not wearing masks would be the first ones on the boxcar if the government offered to take them to COVID-19 safety camps.
  12. Pretty much all the countries that have pushed the masks and lockdowns are going back into lockdown mode again. So what does all this bs (masks, social distancing, lockdown etc.) stop exactly? Serious question. I bet you can't answer that question without launching into insults. Masks literally make it harder to breathe if you have any sort of respiratory issues. And they are supposed to make people safer? lol! Nobody is safer because of masks. Nobody. The world has really gone off the deep end. I know people who are morbidly obese and have been asymptomatic with COVID-19. This whole thing is a complete joke.
  13. What if I told you that I personally know several very unhealthy people who tested positive for this virus and they were either asymptomatic or had very mild symptoms?
  14. This is the premier matchup of the second round in East Tennessee. I wish I could make the trip up to see this game.
  15. That was hilarious when Clark called called Waco out. Lol
  16. West could score 100 if they wanted to.
  17. It wasn't competitive at all. Lenoir City was inept and couldn't even pick up a first down. How do I know WB is improving? Because we played awful Friday night and still won 35-6. Had our offense been clicking we could have scored 80 on that team. Oh and we had a real shot at beating Bradley Central and scored more on McMinn County than anyone else all year and we were one of the few teams that scored on Maryville's first team defense. But who cares about all that right? Let's talk about Oliver Springs. I wish you haters would keep talking about Oliver Springs. We only played that game because the 6A team we were supposed to play couldn't play because of Covid-19, then we scheduled Halls and they agreed and then had to back out too. So we scrambled for a game and came to an agreement with Oliver Springs. What of it? Both teams agreed to and we won on the field and all of our starters were out early in the second half. That powerhouse Greenback couldn't beat them lol.
  18. Yes, that is the field house. Heritage is getting theirs first.
  19. We had our ups and downs this season. We looked like we didn't belong on the field with Cleveland, but we also scored more points on McMinn County than anybody else. We also had a pretty good game offensively against Bradley.
