Hold on a minute. No practice until November and season starts 2 weeks later. You gotta be kidding. out of all the things I have seen on this board that needs change, that is the biggest one. How can a coach get their team ready to play in less than 2 weeks. The T$$AA has to change that. Heck, no wonder coaches are practicing.

The season doesn't have to start two weeks later. Coaches CHOOSE to play Hall of Fame games.

It has been November 1st for 30 years.

TSSAA sets opening games dates as well, should make first date to play HOF games on November 22.  Gives the teams three weeks of practice before first game.  Conditioning and OPEN GYM supervised by Coaches are allowed up until real Practice begins.

They set the first date you CAN play and the last. You decide where in that spectrum you play. You are not required to play on the first available date.

Why not just move the start of practice to october 15th?

Never realized it was a rule.  Guess cause every coach in Carroll, Weakley, Henry, and Gibson Counties practices from the time school starts.  Saw a girl in a restaurant yesterday afternoon decked out in full practice uniform.  Plays for a red and blue team about 25 minutes down the road.  Talked to her a bit and she said she had just left practice.  If coaches are going to cheat, TSSAA should do something about it or just allow practice 365 days a year

You or anyone else can turn them in. Call the TSSAA and let them know.

not allowing the next sport to start practice until the regular season of one sport ends is not smart at all.  Makes zero sense.

I never said I liked it, but I understand the why behind the rule.  I bet when they made the original rule/calendar that more kids played football and basketball.  Sadly, we have fewer multi-sport athletes than we used to

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
