We live in a generation where each coming down the line has made it easier for the next until we have one that would be almost helpless in an environmental catastrophe. Didn't watch the thing so really don't know what it was about or really care. Just curious if the Alcoa Documentary mentioned one of their former head coaches in the mid to late 40's by the name of John "Nig" Wilbur. That's how his name was in several school yearbooks, newspapers and press releases. I always wondered about that, maybe he was from Nigeria.

I've watched the whole Documentary. I think it was well done. I can see how somethings pertaining to the history of the rivalry would be considered as "painting Maryville with a wide brush" or perceived.  Hence, my question. Maybe not a question, but a desire to not give people ammo or cause in this day and age.

I now am more understanding why Maryville turned down the opportunity to participate in this documentary. Perception and opening yourself up for the "hit squad" isn't a desired position. Being as obscure as possible and doing your best to do the right thing is difficult enough in today's society.

Will Alcoa change their terminology? I'm making a spreadsheet. If I could get ahold of the raw video...

Well, gosh, this is... this is great stuff--

Every quarter broken down,

how many times they run each play.

I mean-- We'll be very tough defensively with this.

 Very interesting that Gary's bad call wasn't shown which led to Maryville turning the tide. Hate it for the kid that's dad who is moving him to his third high school because the NFL isn't going to be able to see what he can do if he's setting on the bench. The 7 or 8 kids that got cramps and no Maryville kids did may be because one side listens to the team nutritionist and the other side goes home and eats high on the hog. Someone needs to explain to Tammy that cussing a teacher out then going to the principals office and cussing them out isn't a disagreement, it's called your permanently expelled, now hit the trail, we don't care where you go. I just hate a movie that's not totally truthful and one sided. The twist with the Rebel Flag and all that crap is about butthurt adults. Take that out and it was a great film of some great well deserving kids.

Fact!  No doubt what that tradition means.....and sad you defend it. 

The kids have been painting themselves red and black for years and years at many games, not just Alcoa.  Doing so has no relation to your inference.  However, some have hijacked the red and black painting to mean something it was never related to.  To say "No doubt what that tradition means" just shows and spreads ignorance to fit an agenda.

    • AE has a lot of new transfers and a very good incoming freshman class to mess with the current players.  That's why I'm saying don't sleep on AE.  Many are thinking they can't get back to their winning ways but I think this 2025 team will open a lot of eyes and let the state know, AE won't be an easy win anymore.

    • Correct information on your part Waco regarding your years and wins with no generalities. if Fulmer had not been fired, he would have easily been retired for several  years by now. It’s a new regime at TN participating in the deepest football conference in America.
    • Take your own advice Mr. Bill.  Memphis should stay out of the national news if it doesn't want people knowing about their "business."  SP's classes of '25, 26 and 27 contributed as well.  At the beginning of the season, we weren't sure if SP could make it out of the 2nd or 1st round in 2024 due to only 2 or 3 seniors only 1 of which played much.  We were extremely proud of that 2024 team for what they accomplished between game 1 and game 15.
