Spring Concerns- The biggest question marks heading into to spring practice when be trying to find quality players at both wide receiver and defensive back.

Why would you have a retirement party for someone who isn't retiring? He bailed on Signal. He knew the gig was up. Just like East Hamilton the newness has worn off. With districts changing and Price knowing he couldn't get past the 1st round,he did the logical thing;BAIL ON SIGNAL. You can say he's the beloved. The truth of the matter is that the parents(except for the ones picked up in front of Howard high school) hated him,the staff hated him,TSSAA hated him,other school coaches hated him,referees hated him etc.......... He was never about teaching the boys how to be young men. It was always about himself and winning at all cost. That's why he'll be coaching in Georgia this coming fall. He is even leaving right in the middle of the school year. Why couldn't he wait until the end of the year? Why wouldn't he finish his career there if it was such a great program? He literally quit on those young men. Defend him all you want the writing is on the wall. That video made me vomit. Why didnt you put on there,him cussing his players or show him coaching against ND last year(to show how he acts in a loss). He blamed the seniors after the loss telling them they were nothing but quitters and he got into a scream fest with his coaching staff. He is a vulgar man with a little mans complex. TROLL HE QUIT ON YOUR TEAM WHEN THE GOING GOT ROUGH FOR A LATERAL MOVE JOB.

Wow you Alcoians are a class act!! Coach Rankin has done a world of good for Alcoa football;heck not just Alcoa football,the whole state of Tennessee football. Don't win a championship you all want to call him one dimensional and fire him. As long as you all are winning his playbook is just fine. I knew it wouldn't take long before you all would throw him under the bus. I'm truly astonished !!!

Who are you the policeman of what can be said and what can't be said? Over the top!!! LMAO We don't want to hurt any ones feelings;now would we. When you have a tradition of winning,you tend to get the best players in the state trying to come to your school. If it wasn't for 6 turnovers,Notre Dame would have beat Alcoa. Before you all jump down my throat listen to this next statement. ND fumbled 3 times. One of them were caused by Alcoa. ND QB through an interception that was tipped by our wide receiver. Turnovers accounted for 21 of Alcoa's 28 pts. Last year Puffermen wasn't the same when they played Alcoa after playing Notre Dame the previous game. Same as Alcoa this year. After playing ND last week Alcoa looked beat up and lathorgic against CPA. Puffermen knows it and Alcoa (and the Poon Squad) know it now,what a physical,hard hitting team ND is. Our new coaching staff have been at our school for just 3 years now. They have completely turned our program around. From the head coach all the way down to the line coach are great christian men. What mostly like about them is that they are not a win at all cost.

Could someone tell me if Alcoa did that before the game warm up Hype thing they were bragging about after the game tonight. Pound that rock! Pound that rock! Pound that rock! Pound that rock! Pound that rock! Pound that rock! Pound that rock! Pound that rock! Then drive home a loser. Go Alcoa!

Basketball,Soccer here we come! Nite Nite Alcoa Congrats CPA

Well Crow since your gonna chime in with your pie hole,BCsportsfan said he wished Alcoa would have had their starting QB like that would have made a difference today. I definately don't have to worry about seeing Puffermen next year. You all will be put out in the first round if you make playoffs at all. Now let me hear you blow that horn.

This loss couldn't have happened to better group of obnoxious,self righteous,over bearing,oh how are we suppose to compete with the privates,self absorbed bunch of %%$#@@. I can't wait to hear oh the refs were against us,oh Tyson was hurt,oh the team ate some bad sushi,blah blah blah,............ Where are your boosters at now? To bad they couldn't buy you another championship. I hope Under Armor pulls their sponsorship. No one wants to back a losing team. Alcoa just got beat by Christian private school. The just announced 13 of the 16 seniors have attended CPA since kindergarten. Maybe Alcoa should take a page from CPA's book. Congratulation CPA its nice to see a christian based school win it all. ALCOA; NOTRE DAME WILL SEE YOU NEXT YEAR

1:44 4th qtr Alcoa has the ball at the 50

1:44

51 carries against a hard hitting Notre Dame team last week has taken its toll on Tyson. Lessur and F5 said it wouldn't affect him but they were wrong. Also CPA has several guys that can run the ball and there is no fall off. Alcoa relies on ONE Tyson. He looked good against us. The 6 turnovers killed us.

I like the way you let everyone know the QB is a sophomore.

Tyson not the same runner he was a week ago. Those 51 carries and the physical play of Notre Dame has taking its toll on him. He's running tired it looks like to me.

I apologize if you took that as racism. Being a racist is far from who I am. I just stated fact. You didn't see me shake someones hand. You don't even know me. By the way I haven't had a beer in 10 years. You have great coaches but your team plays extremely dirty football. Good luck against CPA. By the way you sound like a 12 year old boy calling me names. Sticks and stones my friend sticks and stones Don't responsed I'm off this thread.

Why am I sorry? I just told the truth. Does he not have two kids,does he not live in townhouses close to the school? We all know he's not from Blount county. So why am I sorry ? The person who is sorry is the one who searched to find out who I am. When all you had to do is ask me. During and after the game all you did was scream out Trickster and look at the fat man. like you knew something no one else know. Like a 12 year old boy. Look what I can do Mommy......Childish at its up most..

First thing is I never question the integrity of your coaching staff or team. What you all do is legal according to TSSAA. As for the man calling our coaches is absurd. Our coaching staff is some of the finest I've ever met. No one needed someone to call plays to them. Alcoa has 2 or 3 plays they run and they run them extremely well. By the way if someone was calling plays to someone;it surely didn't help. I do know what your talking about by the way. If a parent chooses to do something during the game;that's their perogative. By the way it sounds like the refs don't much like Alcoa. You alls words not mine. I don't know what your talking about questioning our integrity and character. We treated you all with up most respect. You talk about your experience with the Catholic schools. Did you mean all Christian schools? Cause that's what we are Christians. I don't know your denomination and I really don't care. STOOP LOW ? We did nothing wrong. I never spoke bad of your coaches or school. I still think the fans are obnoxious and lack respect. You don't deserve to be champions. Alcoians don't act humble or modest. Like a true champion is suppose to act.

CPA you better check which refs are coming. I think you can beat them anyway. Do it for the privates

You keep getting the other threads closed down Lessur

Someone please explain to me how TSSAA can send a h thKnoxville crew to referee a game between a Chattanooga team and a Knoxville team? And also I ask the crew if they had ever reffered Alcoa team this year and he said 6 of them. I'm not much a complainer of the refs but my god it was awful. I watched the game twice on film. It is amazing a crew can get away with that. Oh yeah that's right they haven't. The officials in the sky box have launched an investigation. I think the jumping over the center on extra point blocking it and no call by the ref at all. The targeting on our widereceiver #1 in the end zone(no call) probably got them too. Go Alcoa

We had are shot. But you can't turn over the ball as much as we did and expect to win.

Alcoas fans are just as obnoxious as I thought.

Sorry CPA to hijack your thread but The Alcoians get all their threads locked down. Go figure!

Well I said the game ND/Alcoa 28-14. Well I was right. I just didn't pick the right team.

CPA YOU BETTER WATCH OUT If you can believe it Alcoa plays dirtier this year then did last year. They do one thing and they do it well. They were not as good this year as they have been in the past. We imploded !!!!! You can't spot Alcoa 21 points and expect to win. THE STORY LINE IS 5 TURNOVERS.
