I forgot I was here to keep you satisfied....

Seeing how the bridge is the only tangible object of relevance in E-Town, I have to play the cards I am dealt.

What are you doing out of the kitchen again, anyway?

Pies are in the oven and the turkey is in the brine...dressing's made and in the fridge. Just gotta whip up a batch of crow sauce for my Maplewood buddy Boski and I'm done. Now as for the bridge being the only tangible object of relevance in Cowtown, I believe you are correct.

Scots I (an African American man) stand with you as a brother. I read cp's post, but felt it not worthy of my response, especially since I could sense the intent of his comment (for shame, and in 2010 no less). I am proud of the diversity of the community and school (which includes Hispanics, Asians, Africans, etc.) I love the Hall/Oldfield and Spring Brook communities. The truth is- that is where the real talent pool springs from :thumb:

 

Ditto, I am proud to be living in this community and embrace my fellow man without regard to their ethnic background.

 

Best of luck to all and I hope for an injury free game between these two teams who have worked hard to be at this place in the playoffs. Safe travels to all from Elizabethton and hope that all fans, players and coaches have a very Happy Thanksgiving. May sportsmanship prevail over all emotion on Friday.

 

I will be on the concrete cheering on Alcoa as well as celebrating all the victories for ALL the young men who are competing on Friday night.

Anybody that claimed that Alcoa or Maryville does not pull from the other schools was not telling the truth. We have several on the Alcoa team. We have also had several transfer back out the the County schools as they could not make it academically or they were never going to see the field.

 

I cannot stop without addressing the grossly incorrect comment about recruiting inner city Knoxville athletes. This drival was the most henious comment I have read yet. We all now what the writer meant. We have no inner city Knoxville athletes. Alcoa has a vibrant African American community that serves as the sole source for our outstanding athletes. Moreover, I strongly believe (I am white so read this carefully) this community is the heart and sole of everything that is right with the Alcoa community and School System. The blending of diversity among these young men, our families, and fans is special and should serve as a role model for all communities still living in the past.

 

Being involved with this team for the countless year I have, I understand where you're coming from but dont sell the rest of the city out. The amazing athletes that came out of the Hall and Old Field communities couldnt do it without the athletes that came out of the Springbrook and Armona areas...and vice versa. Alcoa shows it's a team effort! :thumb:

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
