i served in vietnam during the fall of saigon.i served in desert storm.i got activated last month and am serving at ft campbell right now.i serve so people can say what they want no matter how controversial.i've been to 26 foreign countries,and the good ole USA is by far the best country to be.as i was leaving the base through gate 4 the other day i saw a bunch of demonstrators with signs and they were loud too.i thought well there's a bunch of war protestors.i was really surprised when i got close and saw their signs.the signs read "we love you ft campbell".it was a real show of support.i never saw a thing on the nashville news about that,but you see almost everyday someone protesting the impending war.i guess it's not newsworthy.that's all i have to say about that.

i don't have any stories to tell.i served in vietnam and desert storm

i played for j.c. quite a few years ago,at least 100 years ago.when i was a sophomore we were ahead 35-0 in the first quarter,against johnson county.i got to play 3 quarters in that game.at half-time j.c. stood up in front of us and gave us a speech.i won't go into the particulars of that speech,but in essence he said "i won't be an s.o.b. and run up the score on this team".i've always thought j.c. was a classy guy since then.

they could go back to the way things were back in the early 70's and beyond.a team i played for went 10-0 regular season and didn't make the playoffs because some other teams in their region played one or two bigger schools during the regular season and knocked us out of the playoffs.they used a point system back then,and sometimes your conference had maybe three class "a" schools you had to play in order to win your conference.the rest were class "aa"or "aaa".but those class "a" schools that you had to play lowered you down in your points, so you could go 10-0 and still not make the playoffs.by the way my school was class "a" along with two other schools.i think the way things are now are ok,but i don't know if the private schools could @@@@ up enough points to get into the playoffs under that system,they would really have to play up to get enough points to get into the playoffs being most of them are in the areas of middle tennessee.the public schools in 1-a wouldn't have as hard a time getting in.they would have to beat a couple of 4-a schools or maybe 3-a to get in plus beat all in their respective region.say if a school like ezell played all their 1-a opponents plus a couple of 2-a schools,then a school like cpa,in another conference,but same region played all their 1-a opponents then a 2-a then a 3-a.the say another school down the road in another conference but same region played all their 1-a opponents plus a couple of 4-a schools and all three schools went 10-0 well then the school down the road and cpa would get into the playoffs and ezell would be left out.i hope they don't go back to the way things were back in the 70's because it would be hard for a lot of good teams to get into the playoffs.
