Has ETSU Football Come Full Circle From 1992?

Thirty-one years ago an ETSU victory against VMI was a turning point for the program. Now, the Buccaneers may have passed that torch back to the Keydets. Despite winning the Southern Conference football championship in the spring of 2021, there’s a feeling in the SoCon whenever you lose…

For the Sake of Journalistic Integrity, Will the Tri-Cities Sports Media Please Ask These Questions at the Next George Quarles Press Conference?

They’ve become nothing but apologists for a losing program. I cannot imagine a more irresponsible mainstream media than those who cover the East Tennessee State Buccaneers. “Kid gloves” does not even begin to describe the treatment the Buccaneers receive in the media. The ETSU football and men’s basketball…

Did the NCAA Just Doom ETSU and the rest of the Southern Conference?

Possibly, though there may be a way out. Last week the NCAA raised the fee for a Football Championship Subdivision program wishing to join the Football Championship Subdivision from a cheap $5,000 to a whopping $5 million. Which likely means FCS programs are going to stay right where…

WHY IS GEORGE QUARLES STILL COACHING THE ETSU BUCCANEERS?

In 14 games under their new coach ETSU has gone from the quarterfinals of the FCS playoffs to 4–10, culminating with the worst loss in program history last week. Every few minutes since late Saturday night I have checked the internet. Twitter. Message boards. www.wjhl.com. I don’t check…

The Stinkin’ Media!

Usually that’s said when it’s suggested the media is too critical. But when covering ETSU, the media isn’t critical enough. “What do we want from our media?” Former Tennessee head football coach Butch Jones asked this at a press conference early in the 2017 season when asked about the criticism…
