I could have very well been your room mate had there been cameras LOL.

This whole thing reminds me of the summer before my 9th grade year when Maryville assistant Coach Brown was the manager of John Sevier Swimming Pool when school was out for the summer. One day me and two other boy's got the bright idea to go fishing and bring what we caught and release them into the pool. It was the biggest crowd of the year and a few minutes after we let then go people were telling the lifeguards there were fish in the pool. They cleared everyone out of the pool while employee's were trying to catch them with nets. After an hour when they finally got them all everyone was allowed back in. Coach Brown called all three of us to his office because he pretty much figured who did it. One by one and he got the truth out of the Cooper Boy's and kicked them out of the pool for a week then he called me in and I lied to the end and he kicked me out for two weeks. Me and Coach Brown still laugh about that to this day but the difference between back then and today wouldn't be simple as catching the fish but emptying the pool out and refilling it after it was cleaned and guess who would get the bill, our dads. Will Alcoa be paying the bill or the dads of the ones who did it.

When I threw the M-80 in Down Younder Saloon I was smart enough to take my jersey off.

Thinking about the time Alcoa's gym flooded and now this Josh probably has somebody that fixes gym floors on speed dial.

Mr. Nix needs to tell them boy's to act like they won this game before not like Tennessee does everytime they beat Alabama.

Lord knows I done a lot of stupid chit in my life but I sure never done it on camera.

This could get bad, might have to set out the first quarter of the first playoff game but no need to worry, Alcoa has plenty of money to fix this just like new.

Alcoa football players went into Maryville's auxiliary gym grinding their cleats into the " M " on the gym floor while being recorded by surveillance cameras. Word is Alcoa has agreed to pay for the destruction but please keep this under your hat and not tell anyone. We wouldn't want anyone to think bad of our neighbors.

Good thing the Price Brothers moved on or Oak Ridge would be in some deep do do this week.

I'm making my guess by how lucky Maryville was to get out of Science Hill by the hair of our chinny chin chin.

I'm leaning to Science Hill on this one.

The big question, does the lady running the concession stand at WB want the season to go on ahead and hurry up and end because cold weather will be here soon or do the Govs want to keep playing so she can freeze her tail off for telling the visitors customers something like that?

I think a lot of people didn't really understand just how great an athlete Graf was until he pulled his great Harry Houdini act for all to see last night. Gets sacked for 11 yard loss then scrambles for 23 yards the next play and throws a TD on the next not to mention walking into the endzone untouched on all of his scores.

Congrats to Alcoa on a good win tonight. They wanted this game a lot worse than we did which we saw on their first two drives. I almost left at that time to go see the rest at the barber shop but we dug ourself out of the hole so I stayed. Wish now I hadn't .

You got that right.

Watching Oliver Springs offense is like watching a mouth climb a drape.

Matlock Tires saved themselves another set of tires again this week.

Started doing this 2 years ago because I love the game. Sunday I make my list and knock out half the list very fast with the no brainers. When it comes down to the last 10 or twelve I have to dig deep before making a pick. The upsets are always going to happen but some are so close I go with my gut feeling. You never know of a situation on a team that can determind an outcome. I enjoy beating the experts on TV and the paper and usually do.

Eagleton was a very big disappointment but you know what they were told but did it anyway. They did do much better on offense with the new coach they got from Seymour. The defense looks as if nobody is coaching them at all. My other would be Greenback because they have been ran up and down Coach T Forum by the fans and those people knew what was going to happen before it did and nobody listened on the school board. They are very lucky one of those parents don't file a lawsuit against Loudon County and the schoolboard. When I saw they had 20 dressed at the jamboree and 2 got hurt in that game leaving 18 it's a wonder they didn't end up having to forfeit the season after a game or two but a good number of kids came back out to play after the coach was dismissed.

With all the former students that have went there you would think they would raise the money to straighten that mess out. Back in my day the place was called Harrison-Chilhowee and they would turn out a 15-16 man football team and get their brains beat out every week. Look at all the sucessful private schools that have started up over the past 25 years and this one is still setting in the same place it was 50 years ago. I have no earthly idea why Matt Lowe left Powell to go coach there a few years but he finally regained his senses and went back to where he belonged. Not sure why it changed from Harrison-Chilhowee to The Kings Academy but it has to be the same people because no other two people could manage to run a football program that bad and play at that awful dump that should be renamed Scorched Earth Field.

If I had to pick the biggest dump in East Tennessee to play at it would be at The King's Academy. No seats what's so ever and the place is fenced in with a stone wall that looks like it was built in the Mid Evil Times by the Vikings to keep all their livestock in. If I were the person that runs that place I would get on my hands and knees and crawl across the street to Seymour and beg them to let the team use their field on Thursday Nights and Friday when they were out of town for the sake of attracting some kids to that place. The trainer better tape those kids ankles up good because a place that that isn't ashamed of playing there most likely has a field to match the rest on this stockyard scenery.

This will be a really good game and each side is playing good football at the moment. I'm going with Maryville but if Alcoa wins I won't be surprised or upset. They're a really good football team led by one of the best QB's I've ever seen. The way they pulled that win off against Bearden was a classic. Thought they did as well as we did against West so get ready for a good game Friday Night.
