Yes, it would have bothered me. Most people bother me actually. That's why I either try to find a place to sit where no one else is around or I sit near people that I know are not there for the game or I sit around people I know will not annoy me.

 

My point exactly!! I have been sitting in the approximate same spot for 4 years and these people have recently "invaded our territory" you might say--which they have every right to do-- but please, be considerate of those around and especially behind you!!! I will definately be in a different spot come Friday night!!!

GREAT POST!!!!!!!

"wish the band wouldn't play during offensive drives" -- TSSAA rules (and those in most states) explicitly say that is the only time the band is ALLOWED to play. Bands (rather the team of the offending band) are given penalties if the band plays during the opponent's offensive drives. For the rule to be enforced, the opposing coach simply has to ask the ref to enforce it. When this request is made, the ref is usually more than happy to oblige, as is the offending band director.

 

There's a thread on this very topic on this board. Where can you find this rule? I was in band and our director would say this, plus its good sportsmanshipnot to play while the other team is on offence.

 

Can't find it online, but I do know that I saw it in writing a few years ago. My school's AD showed a list of rules to all coaches, sponsors, and directors prior to each football season. Have seen officials issue warnings, though never actually saw a penalty enforced.

 

Sorry I can't be more help.

One thing I don't like is that people who graduated 3+years ago who didn't even play football come to watch the game decked out in their school gear and paint.Come on guys,you're 21,there has to be something better to do on a friday night than go to a high school game and hit on jailbait.

 

And The drunk guy in his young 30s hanging with the high school kids bashing the play calls and hitting on high school girls is just as bad,they are probably trying to relive their high school days but please move on!

Kids running around. At our home games you are lucky to make it to the concessions or bathroom without getting hit in the head with a football or run into three or four times by kids running a hail mary.

 

 

toughen up...they're just kids

my guess is that the people annoying you are not reading this board. So quit complaining, either say something to them or move.

I was slightly out-numbered and extremely out-dumbed!! I did move though, Smart guy!! Thanks for the great advise!! I thought that was what this thread was for---complaining!!

I can take just about anything, and block anything out, but the cheerleaders throwing out footballs during plays is more than I can handle! I got hit a few times because (imagine this!) I was actually watching the game.

What are they doing during the timeouts??? Seems like that's the time to throw them out.

Also annoying is cheerleaders not paying attention to the game and yelling defense cheers when we're on offense and vice versa. (I try really hard not to sit anywhere near them!)

Oh, and one more: The fans who insist on bringing milk jugs with rocks in them. Not so bad if you don't sit right next to them, but when that's the only seat..watch out!!!

I agree with the cheerleaders throwing the balls, and always during play it seems. It gets very annoying when you can't see the game because every one is scrambling for the balls. As for the fans with the milk jugs with rocks and change, it isn't an Alcoa game without them, I expect to see them at every game and I have no problem with it, maybe we all need some milk jugs.

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year.
