Last year a lot of us met at the stadium and saw the team off and then we convoyed to Cookeville behind the busses. It was really nice and I could tell the boys were excited that we did it.

Can definitely confirm that. It's rough getting the buses and all those vehicles out on Broadway every 1st Saturday in December.  But I wouldn't (and haven't in to many years to count) miss leading them for anything.  Heck, Maryville-Alcoa Jaycees even moved the Christmas Parade to the 2nd Saturday in December because of everybody going to the games.

That's what we called each other in the old days at murvil and still do. Nobody took it personal. I am not used to this PC world just yet. What is the appropriate word used in the murvil sustem these days? Football challenged? Its all good because everybody has a role in "the system" whatever they are called. Scrubs sometimes turn into studs.

Like I said.....pathetic to use the reference of scrubs for a group of kids. Not a surprise coming from you though, as you have tried to stir it up since you son stepped foot on the Middle School campus.

Not politically correct, never will be. I was a scrub my son is a scrub and I'm sure you were a scrub at one time yourself. Laughable coming from you of all people.

Webster Definition of a Scrub pertaining to this conversation "a player not belonging to the first string"  I agree in "internet lanquage" or "Urban vocabulary" its not the best term. But before the "internet" we were all scrubs. With enough hard work, talent, desire and excellent coaching we could possibly become "a player on the first string". At Maryville I do not think it would be derogatory in anyway. Our "Scrubs" contributed to every game this year and without them we would not be where we are every year.  JMO

 

P.S. I'm not taking any sides on this, just supporting the Rebels every day and in every way.

When I was at AC we called the 2nd string/JV/Freshman the scrub team and I was a proud member of that for a time as are 99% of all High school players.  No shame in being a part of the scrub team as it was part of the process and once you started taking pride in being a scrub and gained the "drive" to want to line up and take on the starters that is when you graduated from the scrub team and move on up the food chain.  The Scrub teamers always were and are a vital part of any program as it is very difficult to get ready against air lol.  what is funny about this is that as long as a player takes offense to being called a scrub and wants to use the PC route instead of joining the process they will always be a scrub, kind of a catch 22

 Good thing Gaylor didn't make them go pick up trash during Practice , then CountryREb and Frydaddy would of both been upset . While you're at it CountryReb , any Player / Personnel things going on that you could maybe inform Hendersonville about ? Good Lord are we gonna have to hear you guys whine every time someone from that Evil Empire upsets you ? It's a privilege  to get to be a part of the Rebel Family , maybe some of you guys would enjoy this ride a lot more if you quit trying to find something to Complain about and just enjoyed the Ride . Ya I drink Kool Aid every dang day , and am Proud of it , the real question is why wouldn't anybody be thrilled to be a part of this Rebel Community .... other than maybe still being able to be buddies with all your Maryville Hating Buddies .

    • Lee would have been a good choice, also.  I'm sure Benny was involved with the decision.  
    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
