NIL is just a steroid shot for the teams that have money, high school or college. TSSAA should put a foot down and just say the NIL is Okay but you do have to play with the private schools because you have an unfair advantage amoung your competition period. On the college level it's to late to save that burning ship.

Normally this is the week of Thanksgiving practice at Maryville which finally has came to an end. Instead of football news from the high school this week's top story is Karen wants a book taken off the shelf in the library.

NIL and the transfer portal will be the end of football for a lot of college football teams. The got to have it now generation have put demands on coaches that are to unrealistic. In my opinion ten years from now ETSU will have given up football again along with many other schools that can't keep pace with the highway robbery the NIL has created.

Not sure about the 36 or 37 season but I do know for a fact the team was called the Red Rebels in 38 and has been since. Even though the teams had the little Rebel Man on the front of the game programs for years up until the late 80's but they clearly said Red Rebels. There's a bunch of them at the barber shop to look at. When that program changed Maryville was doing it's best to avoid confliction between the two. To me personally Red Rebels has always been the name but bad marketing by someone shortening it to Rebels like the end zone among other things still connects us to what we're not. The story about the 35 team has a meaning behind it and I would hate to lose our name one day over bad marketing mistakes which draws out the idiots like Teeter Tot to hang onto.

I've watched this stuff clearly change since the late 80's. At Maryville their trying to please big brother except do it even better. When we've had this going on for close to 40 years most younger people don't know any better. There isn't a place in this country anymore you can pull over on the side of the road to take a wizz without somebody watching you on a camera. I wouldn't be surprised if Maryville don't have fart detectors in each class to find out the guilty party that cut the cheese.

This is my department. This is my specialty and I can answer this question and not bat a eye lid. ALE YES.

I have a friend that went to Maryville with me that was two grades behind that went there on scholarship as a punter. I'll have to ask him how many times he hit the ceiling with a punt in that building that looked like an armory.

They'll go check out the defensive coordinator at Emory & Hemorrhoid. He has college experience.

Fartky got his early Christmas Present seeing GQ get run off. At least the Arkansas State didn't stick a knife in Butch Jones back after going 5-17 his first two years and stuck it out and their going to a bowl game against Marshall. ETSU to me and always has been a school with a dinky football program at best and the reason everyone lost interest and they shut down shop. Now they have invested money right back into what failed before and expecting different results. After what they did to GQ and signing a five year contract and telling him to go away after the second year and short changing him $275,000 on top of everything they should change the name from Bucs to Indian Givers.

Seriously doubt GQ would pizz on Maryville if it were on fire. You think he hasn't heard about the Wicked Witch of the South and how the basketball coach was handled. Matter of a fact every coach within a 100 mile radius has heard about it. Right now we better hope Derek stays in place long as possible or we'll reap what we sow.

I would be surprised if GQ came back to high school football because he has more options than most people know. Another coach we're all very familiar with is Marcus Satterfield from Greenback who also was fired from Tennessee Tech with the same record of 6-16 after 2 years then went to Baylor for a year then to the Carolina Panthers and was the offensive coordinator with South Carolina the past two years and now the O.C at Nebraska. I promise you Marcus is making 5 times what he did at Tennessee Tech. Once you get into that college circuit there are many opportunities and I believe GQ will get one of those. He paid his dues at Furman as a grad assistant and once you do that your in the club.

I would have said I want all my money and tell Marky Billson to kiss my azz.

That was a good game and I tuned in and watched it and the Bradley game as well. Only getting a field goal just before half really came back and hurt them at the end. The QB got knocked into next week and maybe shouldn't have been in there in the end. You could tell he was half out of it after that hit.

It will take two or three generations from now to forget this stupid episode in the history of the Sweetwater Football Program. I would say forever but remember that's what the new agenda is in all public schools is to erase history and rewrite it the way it didn't happen. Also tear down a statue or two that serves no purpose while their at it.

They've done everything but burn Tapp out to leave Harriman but he won't leave.

We were 9-2 last night. Missed on the Oliver Springs-Coalfield game and Anderson County-Greeneville game.

Is this game being streamed tonight?

Is this game on any stream tonight?

I just like to see new teams meet in the end for the good of the game. I watched that Riverdale game and I can say without a doubt Bradley can beat Oakland if they play like they did against Bearden a few weeks ago.

Love to see Oakland and Bradley play each other. Greeneville game can go either way, almost to close to pick.

This game could go either way. Honestly goes back when Alcoa played Greeneville and how that game was starting to turn around before being called due to lightning.

Alcoa over Gatlinburg Pittman Anderson County over Greeneville Bradley Central over Bearden Knox West over Powell Walker Valley over Clinton Baylor over Knox Catholic Coalfield over Oliver Springs York over Hampton Giles County over Meigs County South Pitt over Gordonsville Oakland over Riverdale 16-4 last week

Why don't you go out to Eagleton and give a free haircut at halftime on live You Tube like Gambuzza's Game Night Makeover on Thursday Night Rivary. You could trim up Coach Childs beard and be the talk of town the next day.

Whens Fishing season?

After 2 years Jeff McMillan steps down with a 6-16 record.
