Yeah...almost as weak as lying about who you are when asked to your chubby face. Go let another notch out on your jort belt, you m&m eating Diet Coke drinking hack.

Chubby? Lol I am thinking you are talking about Peter Pan man on that one.

Gate opens at 5:30. The Band boosters will have grilled burgers and hot dogs ready shortly after. Pretty good vittles.

Open zone don't matter to Alcoa. According to ya'll they all can walk to school. Nobody lives over 300 yards away from the school.

We walked from Hall to Springbrook in the 70's. What's your point?

[alcoafan72]

We lost 2 Semi games because we couldn't kick a FG.

+1

Florida, FSU, and Miami are the same way, LOL! Miami didn't match other teams' talent until the 80s. Florida and FSU didn't until the 90s. When they did, boy were they fun to watch!

Yep, Miami started recruiting from Liberty City and other ghettos as well as pulling players from FAMU. The other two began to follow suit. Before then FAMU used to rule the roost.

WOW, you have been to his house. Have you been to his house while he lived in Carthage, have you been to his house in Christiana (Riverdale), you say you have been to his house in Maryville, have you been to his vacation home in Gatlinburg, have you been to "Honey's Hive" with him.? All these places I and my family have been to with Gary and Sandra, in case you didn't know his wife's first name many, many, many times.Have you been water skiing with him, he doesn't play golf, have you gone on scouting trips with him, scouted for him, know ALL his brothers, no sisters, know his mother and father who are now deceased, for sure do you know "Spud"? Do you know what his second job while in Carthage?  Have you gone to coaching clinics with him, gone to the Clinic bowl each year with him, do you know what Sandra's hobbie is, gone to church with him - I could go on and on and on. Don't have time or space to go on. Posters in SC know most of the these answews if not all. Please don't embarass yourself saying you know Gary Rankin better than SC fans!! Good luck this year, except for Thursday night.

Sorry for that - Alcoa posters have earned the right to make post that others can't make. You are able to back up what you say because of the Alcoa football team.  That team is made up of about 100 dedicated players AND one of the finest coaching staff in TN. A lot of that is Coach Rankin. My point in my post is that Coach Rankin has ALL of his coaching ability and ALL of his knowledge,  his interest and demands are with  Alcoa. This is exactly as it should be. BUT, Coach Rankin's HEART is in Smith County. The way it should be. He is for EVERY play, no matter who, what or where and will play the ones who deserve to play. To show his diversity, he and Sandre were married by a African-American preacher, Earl Dirkson. Earl is the father of Scott Dirkson, Mr. Football running back while at SC. For SC posters, "Juice" graduatred from MTSU and is now working for the state counseling at risk children in Nashville.

Totally agree about his coaching. One of the few coaches I've seen that doesn't play politics.

and I bet coach still has "juice" at the top of his list on best running backs he has coached. Didn't Willie White play at SC with Scott for a couple years before Willie went to TnTech? He was another great back. Edited August 20, 2014 by UpperCumberlandMan
