A huge blow to DB's chances of repeating as State Champs. 

Technically it happened off campus so the school does not have to do anything till convicted. Innocent till proven guilty. 

 

Now the PR of that move would be awful. 

 

Kinda like Lamon* Williams back in the day for football.

This would be the second offense as he missed the first several games of the season due to something similar.  First offense, I would chalk it up to being young and irresponsible and forgivable.  Second offense should be automatic dismissal from the team, no question.

I thought it was a bad look also that Gillespie only sat out a few games, but Dabbs of Greeneville sat out until after the first of the year for a similar offense.

Dabbs was the exact same thing as they were together in November.  Poore agreed to same suspension and then back pedaled on it.  Not surprising as he's not afraid the go against what's ethical (and flirt  with T$$AA rules) if it means Ws. or give in to mommy's telling him their kid will transfer if he doesn't play

It would be all ethical rules, there is not a TSSAA rule that I know of that stops one that is accused of a crime from playing. 

Heck a fast scrub of the rules and I didn't see anything about having a Felony being against the rules. As long as he is still in class and has the grades is all I found.

    • 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. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
