  1. Pujo.... I'll be making the game Friday night. Would like to stop by and shake your hand. Where will you be?
  2. My dad taught for 30+ years at Cloudland. My sister has taught for 20+ in Elizabethton. I know a little about it. You can teach a kid to take a test and get good ACT, TCAP, etc scores. Then watch the "smart" ones get to college and struggle because they weren't educated. My niece is a perfect example. 4.0 and all A's in high school. Didn't get much scholarship assistance at all and was actually told that the quality of schools she came from had something to do with it. Didn't mean to get this started... we could go on for days and days about on this subject. Sorry..... and now, back to football.
  3. He's doing good. Real weak. Trying to get his strength built back up. One day at a time.
  4. Could you imagine if Carter County found a piece of land off the new Gap Creek "by-pass" and consolidated Hampton, Cloudland and Happy Valley. You would have a strong 4A program. They'd be some gold balls brought back for sure.
  5. I agree with you BUT if you look at the quality of education that consolidation would provide for the kids, it would be the best thing. Lots of pros and cons here (I think the pros out weigh the cons) but I don't think you can base it on how Friday nights will be affected. Carter County will be forced to do something real soon with the aging schools they have.
  6. Just looked at the Creekers schedule............Creekers games on Oct 5th (Boyd Buchannon) and Oct 12th (Hampton). Over/under 150 pts 2 games combined for BB and Hampton or 100 total offense for the Creekers 2 games combined?

  15. Just in case you want the rest: Old Rattler was a smart old dog; Even tho' he was blind He wouldn't hurt one single thing; Tho' he was very fine. One night I saw a big fat 'coon; Climb up in a tree I called old Rattler right away; To get 'im down fer me. But Rattler wouldn't do it; Because he liked that 'coon I saw them walkin' paw in paw; Later by the light of the moon. HERE! RATTLER, HERE! HERE! HERE, RATTLER HERE! Call ole Rattler from the barn, here Rattler, here Here! Rattler! HERE! HERE--BOY! HERE RATTLER HERE; Call ole Rattler from the barn, here Rattler heeeeerrrrrrrrrrre! Now old Rattler's dead and gone; Like all good dogs do You better not act a dog yourself; Or you'll be goin' there too. HERE! RATTLER, HERE! HERE! HERE, RATTLER HERE! Call ole Rattler from the barn, here Rattler, here Here! Rattler! HERE! HERE--BOY! HERE RATTLER HERE; Call ole Rattler from the barn, here Rattler heeeeerrrrrrrrrrre!
  16. Well, grandma had a yeller hen; We set her as you know We set her on three buzzard eggs; And hatched out one old crow Grandpa had a muley cow; She was muley when she's born It took a jaybird forty year; To fly from horn to horn HERE! RATTLER, HERE! HERE! HERE, RATTLER HERE! Call ole Rattler from the barn, here Rattler, here Here! Rattler! HERE! HERE--BOY! HERE RATTLER HERE; Call ole Rattler from the barn, here Rattler heeeeerrrrrrrrrrre! What do I win???????
  17. Several years ago everybody in the community was putting up their first cutting of hay. A family down the road had a very unexpected death in the family. My dad and another man decided that we were all going to go down and get their hay in for them. Dad called and hired some teenage help for a couple days. It was extremely hot one day and we took a lunch break. Mom fixed bologna sandwhiches and we had a cooler of ice cold pepsi. As we sat there one of the hired kids said "man, they aint nothing better on a hot day that a bologna sandwhich and cold pepsi. One of his buddies replied................................................... I fell off the back of the truck laughing so hard!!!
  18. I got a good story (and it's true) about watermelons.... I'd get kicked off if I told it on here though.
  19. Papaw always said "son, don't eat nothing a hog won't eat". Cucumbers fall into that category.
  20. I can't even imagine if he's involved!! Can't wait to hear this one....
  21. Me and momma drove by there today. Blocks wer being laid. Everything looked great. I'll be around there more often...... Just bought a houseboat.
