If all this 'stuff' going around is supposed to make me disown my ancestors, it ain't happening.

All this is HISTORY and all the whining in the world will not change it.

Maryville you have a proud tradition.  Keep it!

One time in an office full of Liberals made the mistake of asking me my 'Heritage'.  The only black person in the office thought my answer was not only honest but funny to her!

Hope this doesn't hurt your reputation but I do agree with you. It's part of our history and nothing will change that.  "But" what we're seeing is an attempt to change history as well as our future.  If you haven't already read Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky. It's the Liberal Bible and the Socialist that are at work today are following it to a tee. Everything that's happening is straight from that book.

Let me correct some mis-statements in your post. I'll chalk your statements up to just plain ole ignorance or maybe just not willing to accept the truth. First of all I don't donate money to the Dobyns Bennett program. It's taken by force through city taxes. Most of the millions donated to BLM is from corporations, and that's through good ole extortion. Also millions of dollars from George Soros. Trump didn't here someone shout "White Power" in the video he posted on Twitter. When it was brought to his attention he took it down. You believe what you want to believe, not the truth. Trump never said the "Klan were good people" "NEVER SAID IT".  He said there were "good people on both sides". Not everybody on that other side was a Klan member. Actually you'd have to look very hard to even find a Klan member in this country. And by the way, the KKK was organized and maintained by Democrats. It's a Democrat organization. So yeah, you can lie and make me out to be a racist (in your mind). But I know the truth. Donald Trump has done more for the Black population in America since Abraham Lincoln. But you'll never admit that because you're drinking the Democrat Kool Aid.

Waco not everyone that supports 45 is racist, just some of the stuff that comes out of his mouth makes you kind of wonder. You're correct some of it is media driven. Even though I cringe seeing the Confederate flag not everyone that fly it is racist.

When we talk about racism we have to be careful who we label as racist. My wife is white, I am not but I would be lying to you and everyone on coacht that sometime in my lifetime while I was out driving an a white guy cut me off, that i didn't think hey this white dude is crazy, or i was at a grocery store in a rush an somebody white cut in front of me that I have thought in my head or said out loud who does this white person think he/she is.

So I'm not going to be a hypocrite an read some of things you guys post an deem it as racist, all races have to have some type of lead way.

The BLM protestors yes some of them were in it for free stuff an the ability to destroy property, some hearts was really into the movement. It never made sense to me that if a cop killed an unarmed person that you should destroy someone else property that had nothing to do with it, while the cop house and car is unscathed. I do agree with peaceful protest just not the looting.

To be able to know which posters are aligned with which school is an amazing ability. 

I'm not here to argue with you, these are some trying times we all are going through. All I was saying personally I don't have a problem with the name red rebel, I think it should be up to the minority that attend murvil, and if they don't have a problem with it then let's all move on an fight to get football started this season.

Good post. I think the fact that Trump is not a polished politician is just something people are not used to. Todays "slick politician" has a staff that vets pretty much everything they say in public to make sure their not going to offend any certain group.  Trump has the press dissect every word that comes out of his mouth just to see if they can use something against him. Many times there's nothing there but they create something anyway. It's happening daily now. It's like at the end of a fireworks display when they shoot off a barrage. The election is coming up and their throwing everything they got at him. To call someone a racist not knowing what is in their heart is a bad way to go. I don't think Trump is a racist at all.

It won't be long until Oak Ridge has to take the atom off the school building. Our history will be attacked by those who think our Cold War heros hated the Japanese and the entire asian race. Any angle that can be attacked will.

What has our world come to?.

Go Wildcats!

Go Rebels!

I had to look it up, but that's funny. Not to hijack Maryville's important thread, but oh the things we will have to rename.

I agree. Terrell Owens, Dennis Rodman, Floyd Mayweather and Mike Tyson just to name a few minority have spoken highly of Trump. They all have known him personally pre-election shook hands with him, shared business interests and so on. Like you said anything that comes out his mouth that's in the verge of being racist then the media is going to try to capitalize on it. No matter the race we all have said something that could be deemed racist, it's just not all of us are in the position of power, famous or have been recorded so nobody cares.

Joe Biden said if your black an still haven't decided on which way to vote then you're not truly black. I didn't have a problem with him saying that, though I wish he didn't I'm not going to be a hypocrite an think every thing that comes out of Trump to be racist. And the people that do think what Trump says is racist then they have to find what joe Biden said was or their not be true to themselves.

This is TOTALLY getting out of hand. I'm a loyal Dobyns-Bennett Fan and I'll be darned if they will change our name without a fight. 

Couple of things...We went to the Maryville/DB game last year and while we got a well deserved #### kickin, we certainly was treated very well by the Maryville faithful. Very polite folks and I certainly appreciate it. 

I"m with you guys on blocking this name change. You point me to a petition to save it and I'll put my John Hancock right there with the rest of you. I'm just ready for some football!

Your Star ain't too bright! Do you know where our nickname came from? Let's proceed step by step. I'll give you a clue, 1935.

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
