WELL I AM SURE THE "GAME HAS PASSED HIM BY" STATEMENTS WILL SOON BE FLYING FOR COACH THOMPSON. FUNNY THOUGH THAT THE RULES HAVE STAYED THE SAME FOR AT LEAST THE LAST 50 YEARS. ELEVEN PLAYERS PER TEAM ON THE FIELD AT ONE TIME. YOU MUST GET THE BALL PAST THE GOAL LINE TO SCORE. YOU MUST PREVENT YOUR OPPONENT FROM CROSSING THE GOAL LINE TO KEEP THEM FROM SCORING. YEP, SAME RULES. LINCOLN COUNTY RUINS THE STADIUM OPENER AND COACH THOMPSON CATCHES BACK UP WITH THE GAME. CONGRATS ON YOUR WIN LAST WEEK COACH OLIVE.

WHAT TEAMS ARE IN YOUR NEW REGION? I COACH IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE AND THE WIFE AND I ENJOY YOUR AREA. JUST WONDERING /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

ACTUALLY, NOT THAT I AM QUESTIONING THE EXPERTS, YOU CAN ONLY HAVE AS MANY COACHES, AS THE SEATING CAPACITY OF YOUR STADIUM WILL ALLOW. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

IS IT TRUE THAT MIKE FINNEY AND RED ROBERTS ARE COACHING TOGETHER AT INDEPENDANCE?

TOUCHE'

AHHHHHH....LEAVE IT ALONE. LET EVERONE GET INTO THE PLAYOFFS AND TAKE IN THE MONEY AND MAKE ALL THE KIDS HAPPY. REMEMBER, NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND, EVERYONE IS A WINNER AND THERE ARE NO LOSERS. GOSH, CAN'T YOU FOLKS PAY ATTENTION!

I CANNOT ARGUE WITH THAT AT ALL.

NOW THAT IS SOME INFORMATION THAT I CAN SERIOUSLY USE.

BE CAREFUL OVER THERE BY THE COFFEE POT, YOU CAN EASILY GET BURNED. ACTUALLY I BET YOUR THE KIND OF GUY THAT LIKES THAT "FANCY" COFFEE. BE A MAN, DRINK IT BLACK.

JANUARY 22ND MIGHT HAVE A BIT OF A FACTOR ON THIS PREDICTION.

WHAT REGION DOES EAGLEVILLE PLAY IN AND WHO ARE THEIR REGION OPPONENTS?

IS IT NOT MANDANTORY FOR THE KIDS TO BE IN WEIGHTLIFTING DURING THE OFF SEASON. I HAD READ SOMEWHERE THAT THERE WERE ONLY 10 KIDS IN THE WEIGHTROOM. IF IT IS RESULTS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THEN GETTING IN THE WEIGHTROOM AND WORKING TOGETHER TO BECOME A TEAM IS A POSITIVE STEP. SUPPORTING THE COACHING STAFF AND THE SCHOOL IS ANOTHER POSITIVE STEP. WHEN THE KIDS DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO THEIR HEAD COACH WILL BE FROM YEAR TO YEAR THAT SETS IN DOUBT. DOUBT CANNOT WIN GAMES OR BRING ABOUT A COHEISIVE BALL CLUB.

WHY WOULDN'T THE YOUNG PLAYERS STICK AROUND? THEY ARE ALREADY GETTING ALOT OF PLAYING TIME AND IT SEEMS IF I AM GONNA BE AT PRACTICE EVERYDAY I WANT TO GET ALL THE PLAYING TIME I CAN. I DON'T THINK THERE WILL BE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE YOUNG PLAYERS STICKING AROUND.

MAYBE HE IS JUST TRYING TO BRING SOME OF THAT WINNING SAVY WITH HIM AND RUB IT OFF ON THE NEW INDOOR FACILITY.

WELL MAYBE ALL THE NEW YOUNG PLAYERS ARE LEARNING THE SYSTEM AND WILL BE ABLE TO EXECUTE WHAT THE COACHES ARE ASKING THEM TO DO NEXT YEAR. THERE IS ALWAYS A SILVER LINING AROUND THE DARK CLOUDS.

IS THERE NOT SOMETHING POSITIVE THAT CAN BE SAID ABOUT THIS PAST SEASON? SURELY, THERE IS SOMETHING THAT WENT RIGHT.

WHY DO YOU THINK SHE DOESN'T CARE?

THAT IS QUITE A LARGE DOUBLE EDGED SWORD YOU CARRY THERE. YOU SEEM TO SWING IT BOTH WAYS. I GUESS THAT BRINGS A NEW MEANING TO "BRUTAL TRUTH". ARE THERE ANY POSITIVE COMMENTS OUT THERE?

YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO ASK THE "PIGSKINPAL". HE SEEMS TO KNOW MORE THAN ANYONE IN THAT REGION.

IF IT HELPS THE ARGUEMENT, IN 1998 A TEAM SEEDED 4TH WITH A RECORD OF 4 - 6 WENT TO PLAY THE NUMBER 1 SEEDED TEAM WITH A RECORD OF 10 - 0. THE 4 - 6 TEAM COME OUT WITH A 47 -26 VICTORY AND THEN CAME BACK INTO THEIR REGION AND LOST IN THE SECOND ROUND TO A TEAM THAT WON THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP. I BELIEVE THAT THINGS WORK OUT IN THE LONG RUN.

HOW CAN YOU PLAY AND NOT CARE? BETTER YET, HOW CAN YOU CARE AND NOT EVEN PLAY?

ANY COMMENTS ON THE "DREAM TEAM" IN THE "TENNESSEAN"?

Riverdale smoke spear last year.

I HAVE HEARD THE REASON THEY ARE REQUIRING VISORS TO BE WORN BY PLAYERS IS THAT TOBACCO SPIT IS GETTING INTO THE EYES OF PLAYERS. I DON'T SEE WHERE TINT WOULD HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT. OH YEA, THAT GOES BACK TO ANOTHER TOPIC THOUGH DOESN'T IT?
