Good to hear from you Footballdad, we have missed talking to you. You are so right, Alcoa will get beat sometime or another. When that day comes, it won't be by Milan, it will be CAK or Loudon that has the honors. I think either team (CAK or Loudon) could beat Milan right now; both excellent programs.

 

Thanks for your compliments.

Both good teams but not quiet as good as Milan. Saw some tape of CAK, just another JCS. Play hard but wear down against physical teams for 4 quarters.

 

You may be correct that Milan is better than CAK and Loudon. We'll never know because neither will play Milan this year. All we really know is that Alcoa has 4 wins over excellent CAK and Loudon teams this year by a combined margin of 97-20.

 

Watching tape of a team can sometimes be deceiving. A lot of people who see Alcoa only on tape, rather than live, don't get an true impression of how physical a team Alcoa is. It's only after they line up against them for the first time that they find out (example, Elizabethton). Of course, Milan has lined up against Alcoa once and should have a better gauge for how to prepare this time.

 

Who was CAK playing in the tape you saw? If it was a CAK-Alcoa tape, you may have gotten the wrong impression of CAK's stamina. A CAK-Elizabethton or CAK-Loudon tape would more realistically measure CAK's strength against another good 3A team.

 

Funny you should mention JCS. Is that the 4-6 JCS team that Milan smashed 24-14 on August 21? After a quick scan of the results of JCS's games, I sincerely doubt JCS could have stayed with CAK this season.

 

After looking at Milan's results this year, it appears the Milan offense started the season a little slowly and picked up steam as the season progressed. Is that a fair assumption? I suspect Milan is much stronger offensively now than when they played JCS.

 

Should be an exciting game Friday. I'm looking forward to watching it.

Milan started the season missing (if I'm not mistaken) 6 starters. So yes, they started out slowly. Which explains the first three games being closer than people would think. After week 3, most of the starters were back on the field.

I have the utmost respect for the Milan program. I have personal friends that have played for the dawgs. Milan has proved that they are one of the top programs in west Tn. Having said that they will be facing the F5 on Friday and Milan has not played anyone close to Alcoa's level all year. Their schedule has been fools gold. That will be exposed come Friday night. :thumb:

I don't recall who the opponent was, but IMO, CAK was a mirror image of JCS. Probably a little better, with a little more depth, but not that much. I think JCS had a hard time getting excited about playing D2 ball this year and I think their record reflected that.

 

Milan had a lot of pre-season injuries to some key players. Safety, both DT(one gone for the year), and 2 LB. Week 2 two we had 6 starters out with the QB being sick. Milan still got the W (at Huntingdon (rivalry game) and that says something for the depth this team has. Just got 2 players going both ways full time and that's Gilbert and Avery. I still haven't seen Avery wear down in a game.

 

Milan has gotten better as the season has progressed and I"m sure Alcoa has too.

Believe me, I've been keeping up with your Tornadoes. I had BC texting me each time Alcoa scored against Betsy. :D GVK & I were planning on coming to Cookeville and having some Bobby Q's with some of the Alcoa faithful, but that silly old round ball is getting in the way. So I'll be watching on tv I quess. I know your boys will be well represented. Several of our players traveled to E-town to watch that game and will be traveling to Cookeville as well. Not sure if they will have their blue & gold on, but they will be cheering for our district 4 comrades. Its been fun bantering back and forth with you Mom, as well as all the other Alcoa supporters. You have helped make another football season on CoachT informative & enjoyable. Have a safe trip and I'll catch you next year, same bat time, same bat channel. :lol:

War eagle reminds me of how Goodpasture was mouthing off a few yrs back when they walked into the championshiip game undefeated and saying how they were going to beat Alcoa , if memory serves me right they only scored 10 or 13 points on the freshmen late in the game and the final was 35 to 10 or 13 . I hope it's a good game and injury free but I don't see Milan staying with Alcoa with the running game we have . BTW how many top 10 teams in any classification did Milan play this year , especially in the 6A division ? Alcoa 35 Milan 7 maybe

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
