I wonder if Murphy Fair brought up the enrollment scandal during his halftime interview with the Milan Principal (It was speculated on one of these threads that he might)?

no. hes a hustler and puts out a magazine where he says every team has a chance for gold, AI's a couple of players into the paragraph, and sells it for $40.  he's not about to offend someone.

Might just be the dumbest thing I've heard in a while.  What else would you expect from a guy who has been stranded on an island with a best friend named Wilson??

WILSON!!!!

Seymour got away with this for years. They were a 4A school playing in 3A. When the enrollment was done Seymour had sent a bunch of kids to Sevier County High to “take a class” Seymour didn’t offer so those kids didn’t count against their enrollment so they were in 3A but shouldn’t have been. I’m so glad they have fallen

Refresher on the original topic:

*Milan plays 3A for years but, when they are able to get past Covington, they get beat by Pearl if they make it that far and a time or two when they have, they get stomped by Alcoa. So, to run from competition, in 2020 they jump all the way up to 4A and low and behold, they luck up and catch the Covid season. They are able to get forfeits and play teams decimated by Covid. Meanwhile, realizing 4A just isn't sustainable, they have their AD, who is on the T$$AA BOC to work with others in the T$$AA to find a way that they can drop all the way from 4A which, to be fair, they chose to play up into, to go all the way down to 2A.

In the end, even cheating for a gold ball, they still could not win one and to top it off, even if they make it to the second or further, they will have to face East Nashville year in and year out. East Nashville, as we know, will be the new Alcoa of 2A.

There is a saying that has been said for ever. Cheaters never win and winners never cheat.  

I remember the head guy there at Milan after being running clocked for the 2nd year in a row vs CAK screamed at their fans saying they were recruiters. The head guy at CAK said if we recruited we would have a QB bigger than 5’6 or whatever Charlie High is & guys twice the size of the guys who for the 2nd year in a row just blew you off the field. He mumbled something & went over to their Pittsburg Steelers bus lol

I’m just an old Middle Tennessee guy learning about you guys in West Tennessee. I have realized and recognized the massive pull *Milan has and, it’s not just with the T$$AA either.

It's pretty sad ST. Bobby Sharp left Lewis Co. and ends up on Milan's staff and along comes 'ol pizz with his hate and discontent dragging along behind him like a toddler with a saggy diaper. Whatever gut punch poor old Bob hit him with all those years ago must have really ruined his life for him to still be following him around crying.🥲

Those national reports aren’t always up to date.

I would still trust them more than a Milan enrollment report.
