Hey Sol where's the "all of the above" choice ? :)

 

Too funny :)

 

I'm hoping for a Del-esque thread we can look back on in two or three years and still laugh about. :huh:

 

The sad part is.....I didn't make up or dramatize any of the options I listed. As a matter of fact, I saw over half of them occur at the game I was at Friday night! :)

 

I must admit, I figured this would start an inadvertant war with the band kids though. Kinda disappointed no one has rallied to their cause yet.

Ok...I'll be the one to stick up for the band. They're very dedicated and are at every game just like the football players and cheerleaders. Their job is also to get the crowd going. As far as playing during plays...it is against the rules and any band who does it is the exception to the rest. And in case you didn't notice their are almost as many Band Parents at football games as their are player parents. Everyone shows support for their school...just in different ways. So what's the problem. If your band isn't very good however, I feel for you. But you should still be supportive. PS- More band students will get scholarships to play in the band than athletes will get to play football in college. We should support the school and its students as a whole...not just the players on the field.

 

However, I agree with a lot of the other annoying factors listed. Just thought someone should take up for the bands.

I have three.

 

Whenever a team has a "Happy Hands" team. They stand right below the band and bounce to the music and wave their arms and look so happy you could kill them.

 

70's funk halftime shows. Stop please.

 

Stupid F'ing Farragut away games. Their announcers are on the loudspeaker the entire game cheering for their team. It's horrible, and it really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really should be illegal.

Honestly, it might be a part of the high school experience...even when I was in high school, but I get annoyed by the group of 15-16 year old girls who walk together below the stands wearing stuff they definitely don't need to be wearing...and do nothing while they are there...besides, walk around, getting in people's way (yet act like they have somewhere to go, haha).

 

Certain stadiums/fields annoy me with how their layout leads to hundreds of kids just walking around and making it hard to move around yourself when you need to. A little bit more organization could do a lot for some places.

Ok, I live in Missouri. But I lived in west Tennessee for most of my life. I am sure the following can be foun in tennessee. But i havent seen it until i went to a game in Perryville, Mo.

 

The home team has your typical style of bleachers. If need be, they are great for stomping on to create noise.

 

The Away fans are sitting on bleachers that are solid concrete. Not very noisy. It is great strategy, but very unfair and uncomfortable.

 

And i also agree that the home team side should SHUT UP when your boys have the ball. GET LOUD when the other team does.

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
