Alcoa 2016

Mr Twister,

 

Just now catching up on this thread but ... would you happen to have a copy of Alcoa vs Friendsville from that '78 season?  I was on that Friendsville team.  We were both undefeated coming in, the Tornadoes prevailed 31-0 that night.  I would love to be able to relive trying to block Sam Love all night. 

I wish someone could find the film of the 1999 Maryville-William Blount game. I've never even seen a photo of that game.

I wonder why Rivalry Thursday didn't include the Maryville-Alcoa game? That would be a top notch game for them to show.

They may have worn Maroon helmets in earlier years but from 1977 till now they've worn the silver helmets. Kind of like today you'll hear people say that Alcoa's colors are Maroon & Silver. Back then our School colors was Maroon & Gray.

No i do not have any of those films. Only have Playoff films and one Alcoa vs Maryville from '78 or '79 can't remember the year. This is the only one I have transferred over to DVD so far.

Alcoa wore Maroon Helmets with a white stripe on them in 66 when Albert Davis was there and I seem to remember them having a large A on them after that but I know for 100% they wore silver helmets in 1970 with three maroon pin stripes in the middle and a large maroon A on the side. I also remember in 75 they had Alcoa spelled across the side in maroon but I can tell you they have had silver helmets since 1970 for sure in one design or another.

You guys are forgetting the Suitcase Scott years when they wore those awful Michigan style buckets.

I think Ironside brought them on board if I am not mistaken....and I usually am not mistaken.

 

I thought I was wrong once, but as it turned out, I was correct.

The horn helmet was 1998-1999 under Ironside. Meadows first team in 2000 was back to the traditional helmet....
