CLINTON @ WILLIAM BLOUNT Aug 20th

[Thegovernorofwillyb]

We have a running back who is son of former ut running back sitting on bench he's a freshman and very talented had 300 plus yards against bearden in jv scrimmage should be playing that's problem at William Blount we always leave talent on bench

Clinton mostly ran the ball all night same plays and couldn't stop it why didn't our coordinators put up a 5 or 6 man front I mean I'm not expert but I was reading Clinton's offense  all night it wasn't complicated lots of poor tackling too do they not hit in practice anymore

It seemed to me last night that Clinton's offensive line just outplayed WB's defensive line. Clinton looked bigger and stronger to me.  That's the kind of football our coach likes to play. Just line up and beat your guy one on one.

Even our uniforms and branding suck right now. Bring back the old logo and navy helmets.

No. There's no bouncing back from that. This team will beat Heritage. That's the ceiling now. And honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they lost that game too. I don't care either way. I'm definitely not coming to any more games this season. I have had it with this loser program and loser school. Nobody cares about winning down there. Nobody has any pride and it's making me sick to my stomach. 

Lol, Don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya, lololol

I have sat through over a decade of losing seasons, friend. Last night was rock bottom and I'm not just saying that.  I have seen a lot of bad football and last night was the worst effort I have seen since I have been supporting this program. It actually hurts me to see WB be so bad. I have seen WB as one of the best teams in the state back when I was in school. Those teams played physical and we had linemen that could block people. This program could be so much better than what I saw last night.

Because I don’t know I’m asking. How many above .500 teams has WB has since 1990

 do you happen to know

 why I ask is because I don’t know if they will ever have a 7-8 win season. Since I have been around the best kids always leave there and I have been around since 2006

Well, WB had one of its best years in 2007 for one thing. Yes, we lose players, but that's not an excuse for our players to show up to the first game of the season not knowing how to block or tackle. Where's this great offseason in the weight room that Shad tells Stork and the media about every year? He must be lying because I saw our lines getting dominated all night.  Heck, we had a defensive lineman get driven back into the goalpost on one of Clinton's tds. That's embarrassing in any game, and it's especially embarrassing when it's against a team that has been worse than you for almost a decade and that was with them going up against worse competition than the teams we play every year. The difference in last night's contest was coaching.  Clinton's new coach had his team playing hard and fundamentally sound in the first game of his second season. Our coach is in year #7 and we are still seeing the same things we see every year.

William Blount was 9-3 in 2007

There was a good article about Clinton in the Oak Ridger the other day. I read it earlier. Honestly, that Coach sounds like he knows what he’s doing. Said last season was pretty humbling for him, cause he said he expected to come in and just all the sudden turn things around, which obviously didn’t happen. Said it was the first losing team he had ever been involved with. Sounds like the mighty ones might have found ‘em a good’un. Bet ole Fred Fagan pitched himself a tent this evening after seeing the mighty ones in action.

WB might win 2-3 games. That coach might be great but he'd be 0-1 if Clinton had played South Doyle, and it wouldn't have been close.

My point was historically WB has not done well. They had a couple really good coaches around 2004-2007 Reed/Meadows and both left. Why do you think they left? Players leaving?

Don’t get me wrong. Some of the things you bring up should not happen and those things seem to lead to bad coaching. Didn’t 2 guys from South Doyle come over? Surely they know what they’re doing. Right??
