Looks like LHS is on the up and up this year. Coach Stevens has done a comendable job gathering the team together and the practices are looking real sharp. There was a great hit session with Goodpasture so the vibe has to be positive with one exception. Practice was interrupted yesterday by what sounded like a terrorist invasion. All one could hear was intense screeching and howling, only to see in the distance a black pickup truck. I wondered what it was after I regained my hearing, but after a short while I again refocused on the practice. GO 'RINES!!!!!!

Obviously this post was in jest, but in all honesty Coach Hester has done a fine job with the 'Rines during his tenure. I wish the best of luck to whomever is awarded the position.

Boy, I sure do feel for that Capella guy knowing that he lost his wife to cancer a year ago, and he is getting all of this attention hear on the T. In regards to Walter applying for the position (LMS janitor), that is unconfirmed but he would be a heck of an old ball coach. He might have just replaced Coach Duggin as the dark horse for this opening. I just got word from Peter King that Shadowens is out. So to round out the top three in no particular order here we go 1. Walter the LMS janitor (at least the 'Rines bathrooms wouldn't smell like death) 2. Dwight Yoakum (a dark horse, but he can sing the national anthem like noone else) 3. George W. Bush (his fuzzy math might just mean a playoff birth) So far thats it. I'll keep y'all posted

Now look, first of all most coaches, at least those who are worth a nickel know that your either a teacher or a coach. You can't be both. These rumors of Capella are absurd. Other than being a d-coordinator at Lancaster Christian, he really hasn't put the time in to be a head coach. A guy you really have to look at is Stephen Crutchfield. Cruchfield mastered the intricacies of the culinary arts so quickly that he surely could handle the complexities of the spread offense if he so chose to run that. He may coach barefoot (which has yet to be confirmed) but there is no doubt that he would right the LHS ship!

The rumors of Capella leaving the field goal return unit are uncomfirmed. He has all that he wants at LMS. Lets keep it serious on here please. *****Breaking News****** Coach Long of LMS fame could be introduced as early as 3pm today as the next head coach to dawn the blue and silver. GO 'Rines!

Any ideas on who the frontrunner is for what is likely to be the hottest opeing of the Spring? I heard that Yancey Thigpen called over and talked to the AD but don't quote me on that. Here is what I hear coming out of LaVergne 1. Shadowens had coffee with Hester at the Chruch street Shoneys. 2. Coach Long from LMS threw his name into the hat with a strong outing this year, plus he co-authored the Tony Franklin "Nascar" offense. 3. A dark horse here would have to go to a relative unknown named Coach Duggin. Fresh from the halls of MTSU, this up and comer has a lot to offer but may be a bit overwhelmed with the task of heading up the LMS baseball team this year, may conflict with Spring workouts adn such. I'll try to keep y'all posted.

Sounds to me like a fair is where hogs get ribbons. So lets not talk about fair. Whats not fair is the way the Gallatin fanbase treats officials, opposing crowds and women. And reading, and hygiene. So lets be real

Were is all of this tradition talk comign from? Heres a little multiple choice question: If you were to rename the mascot for Gallatin what would be the best choice? A. Oragami B. Coleman (as in tents) C. Fresh Linen D. Fat person's legs I agree with Goldust, the only tradition in Gallatin is folding late in the game. Maybe Dan Reeves could come in there next and try to win the big one. TSSAA still investigating '92, some sort of recruting violation? At least Beech has class.

School is still open but team went from a modified double wing to a no huddle shotgun spread, similiar to Westmoreland. After going undefeated in 08, headcoach took job in Florida, had his hat in at the Protland gig but didn't get it. (Lucky him)

I do care to elaborate. Several qualified applicants applied for the job, Portland has top notch facilities and great fans, so no offense to the guy that they hired but.......... he was a position coach for a losing program, not even a coordinator. So how does a guy like that get the job at Portland??? I'll let y'all do the research. Let's face it politics sometimes comes to play in these situations. I do know that at least one coach was a head coach and coming from an undefeated program and was not even called back.

That's like saying that Watertown is a good rival with Trousdale. HAHA, just because you play someone, does not make you a rival. Portland's program is a joke. Shady hiring + awful coaching = blowout. Portland has a lot of tradition and great facilities but is in a region where they cannot compete. I really feel bad for them, the kids deserve better. Whitehouse 48 Portland 6

Well, I'm just saying that the guy that came over from eagleville is a little unorthadox. Apparantly he coaches barefoot??? But hey, if it will shore up what was a porous offensive line unit then, so be it. Hester has got the kids on a strict PB and J diet which seems to be working, looked alot faster in and out of cuts. Looking forward to seeing this Ontario James fellow, with Booker never panning out. Think he ended up at Covenant or something.

Any predictions this year about those LaVergne Wolverines? I hear they got a line coach from Eagleville that is suppose to be pretty good. They say he was left Eagleville because his agent didn't like his contact???

I knew that you couldn't resist. Look croz, I am only trying to get your goat, don't be so serious. Its only high school football! And yes that scottsboro kid is an idiot.
