abetee Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 2 hours ago, HTV said: Tennessee does have "conferences". They are called regions. And most regions in East Tennessee have no more than 6 or 7 teams, which leaves 4 or 5 opportunities to play those schools you are talking about sharing "goals" in non region games. But in reality, isn't every school's goal to play as deeply in to the playoffs as possible? Or at least, it should be. Incorrect, TSSAA does not have conferences, as I described them. They have regions, based on enrollment and geographic location. Yes, binary thinking, winning a state championship is the goal, but in reality, life isn't so black-and-white.

They are both organized units. Call them what you want, but in essence they are still the same. And you glossed right over the fact that every school has 4 or 5 opportunities to play schools with common "goals", as you asserted, in non region games. And as for the teams who don't want to compete for state championships, they don't have to. Schools have the option in the TSSAA of playing independent and not playing in a region and competing for playoff spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel1972 Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 What are the score predictions? I think Maryville will play everyone on the sidelines. 49-7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountaineer Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 Time to bring the moving truck in! 14-68 in 8 seasons. Does not promote players to the next level. Does not talk to or send stats into media outlets. Has alienated most people that want to help the program. Nobody wants to hear about or cares about what happened in 98 with a bunch of D1 players. Nobody wants to hear war stories. If the AD does not do something then he needs to go too. It’s now or never! One more year with him and the program will be lost forever.

Red Rebels Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 If they do repurpose Eagleton into a high school, is it a more attractive job than Heritage? What improvements would have to be made to the football stadium? Would they play at Eagleton at all to start with? Would they play at Heritage or what about Everett High School stadium? Blount County still owns the whole block on Everett hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when I went to school we had vocational training that those kids went to take after so many hours at school that day and none of them played sports.

I do agree with you about alienating a lot of people that only want to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all that vocational talk is the old bait and switch. I think this is football driven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also prefer hot dogs at a ballgame instead of tacos and tamales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
