PayDirt, I'm sure Alcoa plans on playing a few playoff games on their home field. If they play on a saturated field this week, it'll ruin it for the postseason. There's going to be 4 high school games and 6 youth league games on Tech's field in a span of 3 days...but since you're looking for a reason to hate...Hate on.

Who does Alcoa think they are fooling by saying the reason they are playing at Tech is because their field is too saturated....NOBODY! We all know that want to get accustomed to the atmosphere at Tech before December. Sounds like they are counting their chickens before they hatch! I have always had lots of respect for alcoa but now hope someone pulls off the upset in the playoffs and they don't make it to cookeville.

 

I normally don't like to disparage posters, but this is the stupidist thing I have ever read on this message board. It wasn't even Alcoas decision, not to mention the loss of gate, and the band parents concession loses. Next time you want to engage in a battle of wits, don't come unarmed.

Boy I must have hit a nerve. While talking about wits, how is it not alcoa's decision to move their home game? Did TSSAA make them move it? Come on, you must be smarter than that.

Dailey Times reports Josh Stevens:

"We've been having some drainage problems with our field," Alcoa athletic director Josh Stephens said. "We determined that it wouldn't be safe to play on, especially on the visitors' side of the field, and that's all it took for us to decide to move the game."

 

As far as gate returns:

"Stone Memorial (2-6, 0-3) is located in Crossville, so both teams will be traveling to play at 4:30 p.m. (3:30 Central) in what is a home game for Alcoa, with the Tornado program still benefiting from all ticket sales."

 

Stone Memorial had the chance to have game:

"Alcoa first contacted Stone Memorial about playing the contest in Crossville, but the field there was in even worse shape after heavy rains."

 

After all that is said and done....who cares. The game is played on a football field...the rules and the players no matter where it is played is the same. If Alcoa gains some kind of advantage to play in central Tennessee closer to Stone Memorial without near as many supporters so be it. I do not think Coach Rankin cares. A regular season game is a regular season game, that is all. If this was a game to qualify for the playoffs, I think Alcoa would do everything in their power to stay at home.

 

Last time I heard TSSAA still requires Alcoa to play all the playoff games....for Alcoa and Coach Rankin that is when the real fun begins...stay tuned.

      Think he would be better suited to save our baseball program. We struggle to win 5 games a year but noone wants to talk about that. Could even coach from the fence across the creek should he continue in his extra curricular activities.

      Mancoverage sez: This thread has been an absolute delight! Absolutely marvelous! Such eloquent and rosy prose, contained here in, is so seldom found amongst the more jocular subset of our species. The brilliant author behind such poetic use of an obviously deep and broad vernacular, reminds me of the other-worldly talents of Oscar Wilde. I humbly thank you, kind sir, for so generously sharing your elegantly loquacious gifts. The Goat sez: You better watch your back, Lord Byron, I’m sure poetry isn’t the only talent and passion that the author shares with Oscar Wilde.
