The Drunken Sailor

It looks like Coach is getting in his spring training.

Thomas Morrell? I thought this was a post about Butch Jones' days in Knoxville.

Everyone is still enjoying the basketball season I guess.

Lol. Whatever can you be taking about???

You ain't fooling ST twice. He paid his money at the gate this time to watch the game. He's not going to let them cut the feed on him tonight.

Exactly. There's why I mentioned that they may have ran out of time. It's possible that it was all innocent. But then to ST's point, if I paid for a service, then I expect to get the service.

I don't know the rules and regulations that NFHS has on broadcasting. You would think they would want the whole game shown. The broadcasters could have run out of tape, time, space, had technical difficulties, or just didn't want to show their team getting beat. If it was any of the first, well, sometimes that's the breaks and there's really nothing to do. But if it was the last then that's just poor judgement, poor sportsmanship, poor broadcasting and a lack of integrity. I know that if we pulled the plug intentionally, it wouldn't go over well with the station owner and it wouldn't look good to fans - home or visiting. I don't like losing, but if you sign up to do something, then you have to take the bad with the good.

One of the best. I'll definitely miss our pregame talks on the sidelines. Even though they were usually short, they could contain a lot of info.

You gain some players, you lose some players. It happens. I don't know if that plays into the decision to not schedule NJ again or not, I just know that I've been told that we are looking elsewhere for a 10th game.

At that point he was too far into his commitment to back out. LOL He crossed his Rubicon when he passed the wheelchair.

I saw two guys sitting beside each other on the top row start scuffling. Whatever was going on must have been going on for a few moments because as soon as the shoving started, everyone started rushing over.

Ok, so, why did everyone start going over there? I understand if it was too break up the fight, but why did the kids get involved? I'm watching on the phone, maybe a desktop would show me more. Did the kids start swinging too?

Good stuff General. Looks like a good hire for you guys.

Amen. But we're in the old fart category now, or at least I am. People don't think like us anymore it seems.

Yeah, I'm still waiting for it to destroy college. You already can't keep up with where certain players are. Some have been to 3 schools and still have 2 years to go. I may be overreacting, but the NIL and the transfer portal are going to hurt the game, IMO. We were almost getting to a point at the college level where parity was beginning to show. That's going to be gone now.

Yeah, but let's be honest, since Red Sanders 9 out of every 10 coaches in Vanderbilt's history have done the same thing.

Congrats to White and to Moore County.

Congrats to him.

Yes, the G-men and the folks from OZ will have a lot to say about the March to Chattanooga again next year. I'm not sure what Coalfield has coming back, but I expect them to be in the mix.

South Pittsburg loses its quarterback, 7 receivers, tight end, a couple of linemen, 3 DBs 2 linebackers, a couple of D linemen and the punter. Still, if we can figure out the QB spot, we may have a shot to be back at Finley.

Yes, it was a mist, but it's been a steady rain here for the final contest. I came within a frogs hair of picking Houston in my big ones picks and at the moment I'm regretting not doing it. I guess I'm staying until the Pats pull it out, or Houston scores again.

Congrats Southtowner. I don't know how I ended up in 2nd. This feels like my worst Kraken performance ever.

And keep fishing. They're still biting.
