first to tom - don't criticize my grammar or spelling. read your last post. second, i thought that this would be a totally negative thread, but there are a few who understand what i'm saying. reid is covering his tail already...quote from reid in local newspaper, "he's not worried about the tigers right now..he is concerned about alcoa getting lined up and not making mistakes. WELL NOW IS THE TIME TO WORRY ABOUT THE TIGERS....and a team returning 20 starters and the great depth that they have developed SHOULD BE ABLE TO LINE UP AND KNOW THEIR ASSIGNMENTS...get real...if they don't know how to line up by now what have they been doing in practice...the statements are ridiculous....and for the english majors...excuse my grammar...but listen to what i tell you..

didn't know this was grammar class..have seen much worse..some of you complaining can't even spell grammar . any way you get the idea of what i am saying. the "autograph" session was for kids, students, adults, if you wanted an autograph you could get it. some times if you are so good with your super D1's you need to be humble. you will be humbled by maryville. so enjoy your scrimmage in kentucky. remember not to think ahead to what awaits you on august 26, 2005

back to what thread is about. i do know all players (starters that is), yes have been to some practices. let me give you example about what i'm trying to say. i hope alcoa goes 15-0. last night they had meet the player night. it was an autographing session. how rediculous. you would think that we had come to pay homage to our football God's. i only went because i wanted to see for myself. this is the kind of thing that gives these boys the idea that all they have to do is show up and they will win. as for the people that say alcoa takes it one game at a time, last night i ran my own little poll. polled 12 starters (2 of which are part of the super 3) :::results- 9 of the 12 said hopkinsville was going to be nothing. those same nine explained to me that it would be like a scrimmage. they wanted to get to what they say "is their first real game...MARYVILLE. please tell me how that is taking one game at a time. this kind of ###### of the walk stuff will only hurt them in the long run.

know all of them ..daughter goes to alcoa. watch what i tell you. time will tell.

after watching scrimmage and jamboree i wonder if coach reid can keep his super D1 players focused. looked lazy at oak ridge scrimmage. didn't look that impressive in jamboree. i know they won but look who they played. brandon warren has yet to show me much. at scrimmage and jamboree i saw him take himself out about every three plays like he was tired. i'm afraid alcoa may have e few too many I's on this team. word has it that they just show up and they win. they have to play the games and i'm afraid they will get shocked a couple of times. potential is there for great TEAM if they can play team ball. reid has to many egos to satisfy. alcoa will win state championship but will not go undefeated like they want to. guarantee they will lose to maryville!!!!!!
