Couple of school board members wanting his scalp and not being shy about it. The wheels are coming off the A train! The F5 Tornadoes will never win another game.......poor kids. Ha.

There isn't a person in town that hasn't formed an opinion over this now and it's never good. Some say that this will be swept under the rug, baloney. The Fish Wrap opened the gate and let the horses out yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC I have a closet full of been there done that T Shirts I will be glad to give you on what will happen next. If you want to switch the conversation to the last game I will be glad to tell you our line was no match. Was no match against Alcoa either if that will make you feel better. The jury is out right now with me regarding the line and looking forward to the first scrimmage to see if it was just a bad group or did the absence of Mr. Ellis make that big of a difference.

I thought Dr. Bell handled the meeting and the questions very intelligently, very respectfully, very professionally and his explanations were very rational and logical. The school board member that was quoted as saying he "disagrees with that" regarding it was ok for good students to transfer in, was later quoted as saying "well who gives a rat's, ..before trailing off" and even admitted that the tuition students help raise academic scores, after he was complaining that they were not putting a priority on academics, did not sound professional, rational or logical in the least. Several friends of mine that are not from Blount county read the article. Especially with the two board members having the same last name, almost all of them made the comment that this seemed personal not professional and had nothing to do with academic concerns or the best interest of the children. A logical , inquisitive person can infer pretty quickly what the real issue is. Some folks can't handle competition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarneySox2007 Posted June 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 Without putting a picture in the paper this is what they were trying to paint for all it's readers. The Times went out of their way on someone's account to muddy up the water in Alcoa. Part of the reason I don't subscribe anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
