I don't like how the TSSAA has the teams broken up is my main gripe. There is more than just enrollment involved it's called open zones, financial ability and the distance the average kid has to travel to get to that school. There should be factors in place to offset some of the advantages and disadvantages if your seriously going to break this thing up into six public divisions. My only beef is with the TSSAA for not recognizing that. Alcoa is a very good school, a well coached football program and a great fan base and I would do the same for my kid also if I lived three miles from the school but out of the city limits. I didn't mean it the way it came off when I said step to the plate. I was actually trying to commend Alcoa but I posted it on the fly while doing two different things and didn't realize I had actually set the buttons for WWIII when I got back on. It was one of those grammar mistakes I usually make like helping Uncle Jack off a horse or helping jack off a horse.

So basically you want to split county schools from privates and city schools correct?

Either way, both teams agreed to play. Alcoa was looking because we all knew the 2 year deal with KY was OVER. Most of the larger schools don’t want to play Alcoa. They constantly use the excuse of Alcoa being a 3A school and not benefiting from playing. That’s a chicken crap excuse... The Tornadoes don’t run from competition. They play who will agree to play...:thumb: 

Im hearing that Alcoa is waiting on a response from Greeneville. Would also like to see Oak Ridge on the schedule, but we all know that isn’t going to happen...

Alcoa and Greeneville this year would of been one I'd paid money to see.   Greeneville loses a ton after this season.   Doubt that would be as good a game next year.

Yeah, I’d like to have see this years New England Patriots play the 85 Bears too. That would have been a great game.......:thumb: If only we had an accurate crystal ball to predict just how good teams were gonna be from one year to the next.....

I’m guessing you paid money to see the Alcoa/Murvul game this year?? I’d pay money to see Greeneville play Murvul this year. That would be a great game...

You'd be guessing wrong.  Haven't paid money to see a game in several years.   I'm usually at the field by 3:30 and usually invited by the head coach, so it works out pretty good.   One of the only benefits to doing my show.   Oh, and occasionally they'll throw in a free hot dog or hamburger..  (Tullahoma gave us both...)  :lol:

Yeah, I spent about 60 dollars on gas, 50 on food, and 75 on a hotel room to drive 8 hours to a game last week in Greeneville...  but your right.   I should of thrown that additional 7 bucks in the kitty....

Keep up the good work brother! Just giving you a hard time. If you ever want to see a ballgame, and have time off, give me a shout. I will have a ticket waiting for you at the gate. Appreciate what you do for high school football. :thumb:

    • The amount of people pooing on UH is crazy. They're a noticably better team than last year when they made state and were competitive , AND they run ruled Eagleville a few weeks ago. Now I understand Eagleville was missing a few guys, but they still. They. Run. Ruled. Eagleville. 1st single A team to run rule Eagleville since when? Pre 2017??
    • If that Yellow Paint is all gone I'll flat bet it didn't wash off there. I bet that took some scrubbing to remove that if it is gone. Lacrosse is one of those northern sports all these misplaced Yankee's that are posion to the community brought in by  (Blount Partnership, ( The Devil) with them so somebody allowed them to paint their markings on the field that cost more than the twenty top people on payroll at Maryville make a year. All this to please the 1% Club and the 25 people that would come to see it. All in the name of WOKE!!!!!!
    • They will probably, struggle 
    • Dyersburg is going to be good, really good. As mentioned, they have a lot of talent on the way and the trio of Chelby, Joya, and KayKay will only be better with a full season together under their belt. To me, playing in Murfreesboro two consecutive postseasons will only serve to make them more dangerous if/when they stand among the final eight teams this March. Experience, good or bad, always makes you better. And not only do they have experience, they know how to win there. Schedules are coming together for all of the teams and I am excited about what I am seeing on the preliminary drafts on Dyersburg’s schedule. I know I am being a tease, but it’s simply not my place to announce what another school is doing. With that said, I won’t go into specifics. However, I am excited about renewed home and away contracts for the non-district portion of the calendar. I think west Tennessee will have a lot of interest as well.
    • What does everyone have in the final 8? In no particular order. 1. Eagleville 2. Gordonsville 3. Greenback 4. Oakdale 5. South Pitt/ East Robertson-- not sure 6. Richland 7. Halls 8. Union City
