Thank you for the clarification..................it's CLEAR AS MUD! LOL I like football and LOVE watching high school football but that's about it. BASEBALL & SOFTBALL is really MY sport! LOL and I can't wait for my son to play in High School......football and baseball! Thanks! CONGRATULATIONS PHS SENIORS!!! John Simpson, John Vasser, Josh Holt, Josh Lewis, Jacob Harper, Cody Redburn, Chais Wallsmith, Clark Allen, Adrian Morgan, Patrick Cayson, Trent Donaldson, Kable Hunt and Matt Cox

I am EXTREMELY proud of the Peabody Tidemen!!! You made the dawgs work hard for the win. Koodos to Milan for hanging tough and not giving up. Just a note or two and a question: Looked like PHS made the touchdown early in the 1st quarter to me......or was I just seeing what I wanted to see? (before the two that put points on the board) WHAT IS CONSIDERED Pass interference? PHS #83 was in the air to catch the LONG pass for a first down in the 4th and a milan player hit him--while in the air. I've never "gotten" when the call was made and why it's made. Can someone shed some light on this? Other than those two plays, I thought the game was called pretty fairly.

Oh, don't misunderstand..........I'm not saying that being on break is the reason we lost. I AM saying that it makes a difference in the way high school atheletes perform when they are not in their normal routine.

Trenton Peabody did not play their best game last night, probably their worst. I think being on fall break for two weeks has had a lot to do with how our guys have played the past 2 games. Yes, they've had practice, but they are out of their normal routine. No getting up and getting to school, working your brain, eating right, etc. What are some of your thoughts about that? Especially coaches and players.

Hummm........wonder what your thoughts are NOW?

Peabody's Clark Allen is pretty good! First year to play football.

Ok, so.....the only thing proven on this board is that everyone thinks their band is best (as they should) and everyone has an opinion. I actually think there are many GREAT bands in TENNESSEE and each band has different strengths and weaknesses and even those vary from year to year. Tennessee is known throughout the country for it's music heritage and I believe we have High School music programs to thank.....not to mention the band directors who have dedicated COUNTLESS hours to make each program a SUCCESS. So what do you say we end this board by giving a big thumbs up to TENNESSEE MUSIC! BY THE WAY.............ONE WEST TN BAND DIRECTOR RECEIVED "WBBJ-TV TEACHER OF THE WEEK" TODAY. Tune in to WBBJ-TV at 11:30 am, 5:00pm, 6:00pm and 10:00 pm for details! Congratulations Mr. B!

History of Peabody High School by Gary Blankinship Education in Trenton began in 1823 when the Trenton Male Academy was formed. This was followed in 1842 by the addition of the Trenton Female Academy. In 1852, the Trenton Male Academy was replaced by Andrew College, which was sponsored by the Methodist Episcopal Church of Trenton. In 1875, Andrew College was burdened with debt and it was to be replaced by a public school. In 1875, the public school was organized and went into operation in 1876. The founder and first principal was Professor Gentry R. McGee. Through Professor McGee’s efforts, Trenton received funds from the “George Peabody Fund For Southern Schools.” George Peabody had been a philanthropist from Massachusetts. In gratitude, his name was given to the school. Professor McGee served for 25 years as the head of the school. McGee was probably best known as the author of A School History of Tennessee that was used as a textbook for years across our state. The first graduating class of Peabody was in 1879 with three graduates. In 1917, a new building was completed which is now the central part of “Old Peabody”. In 1931, a new gymnasium was added. A fire in 1944 destroyed the gymnasium and auditorium. A complete remodeling began in 1945. The new gymnasium was finished in 1947. Also, a new Agriculture Building was added and the new auditorium was finished in 1951. In 1965, the school began integration and was completely integrated by 1970. On January 4, 1980, the new Peabody High School was opened where Trenton’s long tradition in education continues.

WELL PUT TIDE MOM!!! GO #4!!! LOL I'd like to also mention that 2 years ago a young man started for the Tidemen, was in the band AND maintained a 4.0 GPA! He received a full ride to Knoxville....oh and even got a huge roll in a Sub-Way commercial!!!!!! ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!

I don't have "stats" but I know Rossi Jones racked up yards last night

We make a big deal out of it because when you are seated next to, above or behind a smoker you tend to get a face full/lungs full of 2nd hand smoke. Those of you who are not affected by 2nd hand smoke will not understand. I get a headache which triggers a severe migraine. Then I'm congested for about 2 days. You also have the risk of burning someone, which I've seen happen! Just a few reasons for making a big deal out of it.

Not sure whether to say fortunately or unfortunately....but they have that right....that choice------BECAUSE OF OUR VETERANS! Too bad they don't get it! Perhaps they would get it if their daddy was gone for over 12 months to a violent filled country like my children's daddy has been. I'm not a veteran, but my husband is...as this is his 2nd tour and I have to tell you it offends me when people do not at least stand to honor our flag...........OUR COUNTRY. It also offends my children. Just this year some guys were cutting up and laughing during the National Anthem at a football game....my daughter heard them and afterwards she marched down there and told them she would appreciate it if they would stand quietly while that song is being played! You go GIRL!!!! So for those of you who do not stand..........you have that right, but stop and think how and why! GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Geeze.....I had to quit reading! Seminole.....I am glad that you are behind the Tide, but come on............Peabody and Gibson County ARE big rivals, but you don't HAVE to "hate" them!!!!! When you have hate on your brain.....hate will be on your tongue.....which means you tend to say things before you think and then have to apologize for your words or actions. Sorry for the lecture......"hate" is NOT one of my favorite words. Actually, I encourage my kids NOT to use that word. And for the record...........the '05 Peabody Tide are excited about their wins, but they take one week at a time and they won't take any team lightly! Most of us/them are not going to "predict wins" through week 10........but we definitely stay positive and work HARD for every game!!! ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!!!!

I know all you guys think about football 24/7 these days, but I'm thinking that these "star athletes" that all of you are talking about are not going to be as focused on football as they were two weeks ago. I mean, I'm thinking that they are going to have so much rushing through their mind........lost home, lost school, lost friends......nothing left of "HOME" and it's going to be difficult for them to "FOCUS" on their game. Yes, young men and women tend to bounce back from things quicker than adults, but I'm affraid this is going to have a lasting effect on them. However; I hope they all get back into school and try to get on with their lives the best they can. By the way.......there ARE around 1,000 people who came into the Gibson County area this past Saturday.

Thank you!
