Guns 4

I think that Noway, Pasture and OldHops10 all share the same last name and I think that they all are very close to this whole situation.

Sorry but Temple doesn't have that big of a following.

No. Not trying to pick a fight. Just don't understand why you are defending them so bad....thats all....

I know you wont name any names so tell us what the title is of this "expert". As bad as the TSSAA is at times I doubt very seriously that you could get anyone there to say something as ambiguous (sp) as that. No pads means NO PADS. Again, if they can wear shoulder pads, why do they not wear them in the 7-on-7 scrimmages? Yeah. I don't know either. I guess Whitwell is just the only ones in the state that knows and understands the rules. I would like for you to tell us what title this so-called expert holds so that it might lend a little credibility to his/her statement. Who knows, you may have just single-handedly revolutionized Tennessee High School Football. Coaches all over the state will be able to modify their off-season practices now because there is a whole lot more that you can do with shoulder pads on than you can do with just tees, shorts and helmets. I've always enjoyed reading your posts because you generally have good input, but this has got to be the biggest load of manure that I've ever read. You had to prowl through a lot of chicken houses in Grundy to come up with this crap! Whitwell was in pads a full week early. Nice attempt at defending them but it's going to take more than simple hearsay to clear their good (um, um) name.

Maybe you need to make another call or ask the right questions. Practice does not begin until July 30. No pads are allowed until the first day of practice. The last time I checked, shoulder pads are in the category of "pads". Why do you think all the 7-on-7 scrimmages use only shorts, tee shirts and helmets? Wouldn't you think that if shoulder pads were acceptable every coach in the state would be using them? IF Whitwell was in shoulder pads, as you and others have said, they were most obviously doing something wrong. They were in "pads" a full week before everyone else. No matter how anyone wants to spin this, IF they had their shoulder pads on, they were breaking the rules... aka...cheating. NOTE: Please note my use of the word "IF". I did not see them in pads and am only going by what a couple of people have posted on here.

I hear North Jackson has an opening. /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

Does that include your new $7M gym or not. Oh, wait, you don't have one do you? Personally, I think that SC has the best football facilities in the Valley. JMO though.

If Brainerd can neutralize Darius this game wont even be close.

Blah,blah,blah... Here we go again!

See Cornbread....why can't you be like volsbbfan? You need to lighten up a bit. He took it for what it was....a joke. For crying out loud...get that crumb off your cornbread shoulders.

Nope! All games still on. Get there early to get a good seat!

Two questions. 1. What happened to SP Whackballers? 2. Where was the flamethrower? No offense SP, but if that is all that you have got, you need to just schedule a full season of home and aways with Richard Hardy. That way you may come out winning .500, otherwise it is going to be a L O N G season. I expected to see a much closer ballgame.

Stewart crying on the court was no different than Antonio crying on the field after he got jackhammered. What's that?....hearing those footsteps again? Why is it when ya'll lose it's because you get cheated but when you win it's because you're the greatest team ever? Ya'll stink and you know it. Keep talking trash about baseball and you'll find out how ugly games can get.

with practice less than a week away has anyone got more news on coach laws?

I can hear it now...... Just like football (clap clap clap,clap,clap) Just like football (clap clap clap,clap,clap) The Ridley Rowdies will be there and we'll be pumped. Too much PURPLE for the little red kittens.

Hey WLS. It looks like you jumped the gun on getting excited. http://www.times-journal.com/report.lasso?wcd=5135 You just need to stay in Whutwill and keep your nose out of Marion County High School.

I agree with your first statement about the horn. The horn was implemented so that the refs wouldn't have to be concerned about subs waiting at the table and they could focus their attention on something really important, like officiating the game. Now we've taken a step back. Although your statement in #2 about taking away a good defensive play is correct , I still think that the coach needs to have the ability to call timeout when he chooses and shouldn't have to rely on some 14 - 18 year old that is geeked up on adrenaline (1.) hearing his request for calling time out; (2.) comprehending that the coach wants a time out; and (3.) being able to clearly communicate to the official that he and his coach would like to have a time out. #3 is just plain stupid.

You've got to be kidding! Poor lighting, no player seating (sit on front row of bleachers with fans walking up and down), make-shift scorers table and very small visitor's locker room. Definitely not one of the best in the state...heck, not even one of the best in the area. Sorry Moose.

I don't know how many people on here get a chance to see them, but Gordon Lee High School in Chickamauga GA has a great student section to be such a small school. I hope you are right, Moose. We come to town on Saturday and I love a great basketball atmosphere.

Thank you for explaining that you know so much about me, but you really have no idea what you are talking about. Next month I will celebrate my 39th birthday and remember the good ole' days. But unlike many of my crusty old counterparts, I try to keep up with the modern vernacular so that I can communicate with the youth of today. I don't want to be the type of adult that looked at me when I was a teen and shook their head. I turned out to be a good, productive citizen of my community and believe that young people need to have their own identity. "Crunk" is no more or no less stupid than whatever the latest saying was when you were young. At the same time, just because young people today use slang that you don't understand, doesn't mean that they are going to turn out any worse or any better than you or I. I am not ashamed of the slang that we used as kids. I do not feel that it was stupid. It was how we communicated. You sound like one of those guys that grew up to be a stuffed shirt executive type that has a perceived image that you must uphold or else your other stuffed shirt executive friends and associates will think less of you. Go back to your white-collared, yuppy lifestyle and leave the fun stuff to those of us who actually enjoy being young, or in my case, young at heart.

What about Coach David Phillips. He is an assistant at South Pittsburg and is just waiting in the wings to show what he can do. He has a good relationship with the girls and really knows his basketball. He does an excellent job scouting other teams and sets up an outstanding game plan. He is limited only because he is coaching at a single A school where the tallent level isn't quite as deep.

C'mon ReitzFan. You and 85Warrior should go start a Senior Citizen thread and post on it. "Crunk" is a slang word that is used in the place of Cranked. That's Cranked, as in, CRANKED UP, LOUD, ROWDY, EXCITED, EXCITING, EXUBERANT, Absolutely IN-YOUR-FACE for 32 Minutes, THE SIXTH MAN or any other adjective that you wish to discribe a fan base that is a difference maker. "Crunk" can also be used to discribe an individual that is hyped, stoked, excited, focused, ready to kick your a-- and make you like it, has his/her game face on, or any such adjective or description. Surely you should have been able to read the context clues to figure it out, but assuming that you were unable to decipher the lingo I thought this 30 something has been would clarify for you. If you can't talk the talk, DON'T say anything at all.

Yeah... you know what your talking about because you are "the chosen one". The last one chosen in P.E. The last one chosen in backyard football. The last one chosen in Squeal's rec. league baseball.

Yeah... But he's not the principal now, is he?
