I hate seeing AE down like they have been the past few years... when I played we used to battle with AE high school football at its finest. I will say AE will be on their way to recovering it's past they have a good freshmen class with some good middle schoolers about to go to AE. This year AE will be lucky to keep it within 60

Just asking a question, do you think AE is suffering the same problem as Powell?  AE has had a lot of coaching changes themselves since Stanton Stevens left.  As for the game while AE has athletes, Fulton has an advantage with depth, size, speed and coaching.  Fulton by as much as they want.

Absolutely that's a factor in the decline of their program. They have some athletes but it's difficult to build a program when you change coaches every year or two. I sure do miss the rivalry. Me and "turtle" would be at least on page 7 by now on Fulton/AE week! I haven't seen anything from him yet! This was my sister's favorite week. Hope our starters get to play at least half a ballgame and hope it's a safe injury free game for both teams. Go Falcons!

Where's Turtle been?  I haven't seen any of his colorful commentary on AE or West in while. lol

Q I think coaching has something to do but the overall factor in decline IMO is the amount of total students they now have. AE is now around 500 students that's no where near enough to compete with the big teams unless your Alcoa. As far as turtle I talked to him earlier in the week he says he still has faith in AE and the score will be a lot closer than people think. I tried to wager with him but he declined lol.

I think the lack of quality coaching at the youth level hurts as well. I know it's hard to find coaches with a strong background. With you having seen Fulton's youth team, it helps having that coaching. I coached in youth football from 2006-2012 and some of the Roadrunner teams were not well coached  We played them in 2011 and the coach refused to play the second half.  Grant it we were up 42-0 at the half but he said HE had enough, not the kids. He yelled and hollered the whole game and after a while kids just shut that out. I see it in AAU too, after a while you have to coach your kids up. When we played the same team the next year it was closer at the half but the coaches never made adjustments. They had way better athletes then we did but we still won by 4 TD's. Teaching the kids the fundamentals at an early age really helps when they get to high school.  You mean to tell me that Turtle wouldn't take the spread lol.

I tried to give him 40 points lol but youth coaching is a huge factor in high school football. Getting players that can contribute for 4 years is huge for the future of a program.

Greetings!!! Yea I've been MIA but I'm here now hahaha! As for as the game Friday, like I've been saying it won't be as bad as many are saying/thinking! The only thing I'm hearing is 100-0, I know for sure Coach Black wouldn't allow it to get that bad. Just know Fulton hasn't always been on top!!

 

 

As for as West Rebels, we have those other Rebs coming to Sutherland tomorrow night so I'm saying West finally beats Maryville

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
