Tonight’s Freshman game went to SC.  45-7.  Ouch!

Not sure when the last time was when Gallatin’s freshmen had a winning season.  What 6 or 7 years ago?

How do you lose to a 4A school by that score? What is the feeder situation? Are they that bad? If no winning seasons in 6 years sounds like they need some staff changes.

The middle schools have been raided by private schools.  Both starting QB’s for the middle schools are gone and two of the other top players that were coming up are no longer there either.  I realize it takes a team but when your studs are gone others have to step in that might not have ever started before.

From the outside looking in: discipline and identity are holding Gallatin back more than anything. Only time I really got a clear sense of what Gallatin was trying to do was in the last decade was Watson's 1st year.  Talent will never be a problem at Gallatin

I think Coach Stroup is going to run a well disciplined program, and winning cures all. But these changes don't happen overnight. I'm just glad that some of us are still out there that want to represent their home city to the fullest as I and many of you did for your city. If that is not you and Loyalty just isn't really your thing, then by all means please go elsewhere is how I look at it. IF YOU are good enough to be a college athlete, you will get spotted.

Things are changing just have to give it time.  People close to the program are seeing a lot of changes and everybody feels we got the right guy for the job at hand.  And that goes beyond on the field activities.

I know it’s just freshmen, but don’t overlook what they’re doing.

Really wish Gallatin could get back to the glory days of the 90s.   I think Stroup is going to do well.

He may do just fine, but I think sometimes unrealistic expectations are places on first year coaches.

No huge expectations here being put on the year 1 guy. My expectations are: Lets compete & try to win every game! But if not, let's atleast battle for 4 quarters and score points! Make it interesting. Don't do the same thing time after time and expect different results. He has the support of Gallatin. This is still a football town. Lets continue to build from youth & up.

When’s the last time a Gallatin QB had a better statistical game than last week?
