Once again it's the Obion River rivalry. Dresden is finally play good football and Gleason has struggled a little more than I figured they would. One thing for sure is; Gleason will play their best football game of the year when they are against Dresden. Has Liggins came back from the shoulder injury? If not Dresden should roll, but I say that every year and we struggle mightily against them.

imo Gleason has beat us on field last few games but sadly for them (glad for us) not on the scoreboard. Lions better be ready because Bulldogs will be for sure. I think we will be though. Hopefully Dresden gets a clear, overwhelming win this year, not a "miraculous" comeback we somehow pulled out of the hat.

It seems like regardless of how season going for the Bulldogs, when they play Dresden they get super-ized, they put on superman clothes or eat spinach or sumin, they usually come out and play the best they can. Lions underestimate them at their own peril. But I doubt that happens. Still... on any given gameday anything can happen. Injury free games is perpetual prayer & hope, and it'd be nice to see Lions win big, even allowing subs lotsa playing time. (Hey, I can hope can't I? Even if it's delusional, let me be happy in my own dreamworld.) :)

Dresden should get the w...I think the program is about to take an upswing

I hope so friend. These next two games will have a huge impact on our future imo, not just this one season. I think we'll do good though, we're peaking at right time and still have room to improve. We'll need to hit on all eight cylinders come playoff time. Future looking bright (for rest of this year and even with new TSSAA system coming next year, Lions gonna roar!).

A little personal encouragement and "atta-boys" goes a long way, even for coaches. I text coach Rang at times (and other ones), complimenting & encouraging them, even in a loss. Wish I could afford it I'd even treat them to an occasional meal. Hope others do the same. It might even help keep a good staff here if any of them are getting the wanderlust bug. Perhaps these things would help them be comfortable in a strange, foreign land like Dresden that is not their home/ roots. Little things like that count imo.

    • 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.
