  1. Between the other video talking about his "Big Orange" drank and this one about Dooley.... Andy had to be a Tennessee fan.
  2. 24 g.o. was fabulous. We also had a lot of success with 18 solid gold. It was one of the few passing plays in the arsenal. Mac was a strong believer in the run even when we trailed which was few and far between. I'm excited to see how Mac does with MC. Can't wait for some football!
  3. Everything I've read sounds about right when it comes to Mac. I played under him at Moore County in the late nineties. He was defintely hard nosed. He would weed out the weak. Every summer he would haul the team to a week long football camp back in the woods. We as players called it "The Week of heck". If you survived this week, you made the team. I remember going to my first camp as a freshman. We had one of the biggest teams Moore County fielded in years. I believe it was roughly 61 of us that left for camp. Only 44 made it to the end of the day that Friday. I remember hearing kids pack up at night and make a run across the field. The only pay phone was on the other side of camp. They would call Mom or Dad and say, "Come get me!". Now don't get me wrong. We were NOT mistreated, but the practices would make you a player. There were several practices during the day with full pads in the blazing heat. McCurry was going to make his teams "unconditional". We always said under any condition we would not be affected. We would play our game in any place, any weather, and under any circumstance. It helped prepare us beyond football, and I believe that's why so many of his players still respect him. We couldn't stand him while we played for him. It's not until later in life that you understand his method of madness. Give him time and your program will flourish. Give him time and your boys will definitely benefit. Most of all don't doubt the Wing-T. We didn't always enjoy running it, but man did we win some games. Many teammates of mine can vouche for this as my senior class went 43-9 for our high school career. I just wonder if ole 47 Sweep is still in the playbook. Enjoy the ride MC! I sure did.
  4. Good luck to the Raiders tonight. I really wish I could make the game but just can't go through another night with the announcer. I'm hoping like so many others on this thread that there will be a trip to Gordonsville in the future; however, it will be mighty difficult to pull the upset there. That's why they play the game!
  5. Oh ME of little faith! That's why they play the games to disprove what some of us guys say especially me. ha ha Great job by the boys in Columbia blue. Keep it rolling! Anxious to see where the postseason takes ya!
  6. It'll always be Chapel Hill to me. It's a special place just like Lynchburg. I heard the Rockets have a coach by the name of David Evans. Is he the same David Evans that was a kicker and a pretty good tackle for the Raiders back in the late 90s?
  7. Witnessed this past Friday's game of Community at Moore County Boy, are you right about homefield advantage! I have NEVER heard a PA announcer talk as much as the guy at Raider Stadium. I am privileged in my line of work to go to several stadiums throughout the great state of Tennessee and have never heard someone do such a subpar job. The Vikings were begging to get out of the stadium so their ears could recover. (fans as well!) Moore County no longer has the homefield advantage they once had. The years of fans lining the entire fence and making tremendous noise are gone. The "dog pound" group that would congregate down in the endzone below the scoreboard is gone. The days of trying to find an inch of bleacher to sit for only a minute are gone. The hey days of the Moore County Raiders were in the 90s and apparently ended there as well. Community fought hard and led at halftime 7 to 6. I give props to MC for turning on the juice and putting away a team that just had no depth. Give Community credit for battling, but they just do not have enough horses in the stable. I wish I was wrong, but I see Chapel Hill winning with ease. Good luck to both this Friday and in the playoffs. Play every play like it's your last play.
  8. The privately owned High School Football Radio Network provides online broadcasts. We are looking for a game to broadcast on October the 28th that would NOT normally be broadcasted otherwise. We provide the man power and the equipment. All that is needed is a place in the booth to set up so we can have one outlet to plug our equipment up. A wireless internet connection would also have to be essential in order to broadcast over the net. We would like the game to be in Rutherford, Williamson, or some county in that proximity. The game would be broadcasted for FREE, and our services are FREE. We just want to see how many hits we receive on the website to see if Middle Tennessee is interested in us eventually doing full seasons of broadcasts. Know any teams that may need us??? If interested please respond to the post so we can get in touch. Thanks for reading.

  10. I'm looking forward to this one. I have only been back to Raider Stadium once since my playing days back in the 90s with McCurry. 1) How early should I get there to get a good seat, or will it not be that packed? 2) Any possible tailgating going on outside the stadium? 3) Will there be any merchandise for sell that I can take back with me? I'm really looking forward to coming "home". Prediction: Community 14 Moore County 28 Go Raiders!
  11. Hmmmmm makes you wonder how much of the offense was called by the OC. So who has the best season next year? Mr. VA at Ravenwood Rec at Centennial Big K at Summit Dy at Indy I had to throw in the last one for Palin. Let's hear it. Predictions?
  12. It could be a tough decision for the AD if Dyson begins to have losing seasons and has to be let go. Although I hear that him and the AD are very tight.
  13. 1.Wow! Dyson is the head man at Indy. Webb is gone to BGA. Ravenwood and Centennial will continue to rebuild. BRENTWOOD must be geeked. 2. Will there even be any competition for Brentwood for the top spot in the district? 3. From what I gather from reading these posts and what my son has said, the players haven't had much of a workout routine up to this point. Why would all this time go by with the players doing nothing when there was at least one coach in the building who could be working them out? Sounds like there may be a problem with the AD at Independence. Oops! Nevermind. Go Eagles!
  14. Who cares who the coach is at this point? My son said that several of the players are getting frustrated and may not continue to play. We need everyone at this point to get on board to make the 2010 football year a success. Get the coach in and let's get to work!
  15. Well here is the latest whether Palin or Hogan believe it. I know for a fact that the job was offered to a coach out of Kentucky, and he said no thanks. The other situation I was referring to earlier was I know a local guy was being sought after pretty highly. My source told me that he also turned down the job, but I found out later that this coach actually "took his own name out of the hat" so I apologize for confusing anyone. Hogan, any chance that Mr. Music City Miracle would get the job by default? I know he probably doesn't want it, but give us another clue to who is left out there. You claim the man will be named by this weekend so leak the info early if you truly are "The Wizard".
