that's correct but I still think there was supposed to be a home and away but maybe that will have to come another season.  the other 3 just wanted out.  it's all 2nd or 3rd hand info so take it for what it's worth.  i'm just trying to keep things interesting.  : )

I mean we're still pretty full on beating privates last year. Gotta slim down a little. Oakland learned the hard way that you better have a backup plan if you schedule Pulaski

that's funny but it could have gone the other way very easily...twice!

when did you play pulaski?  the LA game is still on their YT page.  it's funny to watch and listen to them reason how they are about to get back into it at any moment.  then finally admit they were out matched and try to think of the last running clock on them.

It could have, but it didn't; sometimes the margin between victory and defeat is razor thin. Oakland had scheduled Pulaski but never got a chance to play them, cancelled before the season started, on pretty short notice. Never been a big fan of the way Pulaski plays, but obviously works for them

I joke about it but pretty soon the schedule for Oakland is going to look like a private school, nothing but out of state games and games against privates

If you require teams to pay a  cancellation fee between $15,000 and $25,000 if they cancel a game this nonsense will stop. If they refuse to sign you know that they are not serious about playing

Then your going to be playing alot of 6-7 game seasons because nobody on either side is going to agree to that, in this state. This isn't College or the NFL

Why would you not agree to pay the cancelation fee if you are serious about playing the game?  As a principal I would have no problem signing the contract because I fully expect to play the game.  The bottom line is that a cancelation fee of between 15-25 thousand dollars completely eliminates the less than honest people or at the very least it holds them accountable.  Just think about the amount of revenue a team loses (gate receipts, concessions, parking, etc...) when someone has a home game canceled.

LA had 4 cancel the return to their place and 3 were out of state who had already traveled here!  makes no sense.  looking forward to oakland coming to nashville when they can work it in.  : )

Only got room for one Nashville private at a time. Maybe next time you can call us during the offseason

    • As I said somewhere earlier in the thread, the original plans had no outdoor athletic facilities being part of the campus.  The original plan was for HVA to use facilities at nearby schools.  Very late in the process they came up with a plan and found budget to have minimal facilities and crammed them in to space that never was intended for athletic facilities.  
    • Agreed, the way the field is turned you get the evening sun blasting right into the press box making filming a nightmare there, plus its so low.  The field is land locked and parking is a nightmare too. Seems like Knox County could have done a lot better there with the design and the quality. 
    • I think this upcoming team may be pretty good, they will definately be better up front and if they can replace Dozier, Heyward and Rembert, they can be real good. They have the same strange schedule, but this time with 5 straight home games. The road games at Jeff County, Powell will be tough to open up with and the back side at Bearden is the tough game there.  One question I had if anyone knows: There has been some talk of an indoor practice facility in the past, with the new track area now more of a track area, that kind of leaves a need for a football practice area. Just sayin....
    • I find it hard to believe that 70% of a schools enrollment is zoned for another school district
    • I was told that the indoor facility is happening regardless of the vote on the taxes but it would be a much bigger project with more funds if they vote goes through
