And you want me to cut them some slack?Now, I expect this type of thing out of South Greene. Blowhard Blazers? Only people trashing YOU on here weren't from Boone. Read it again. Sorry you lost, but your coach scheduled the 4A opponent.No, Barb, as I said before, last year they were usually smaller than the teams they played, but had good skills as lineman. Occasionally size overcame them. Volunteer had a big line, and of course, MoWest was big and talented. Sullivan South was just too talented overall. This year, I don't know yet. It would seem that the conference will go to either Greeneville or MoEast, MoWest will still make some noise, and Boone will have to struggle for a playoff spot, but it's very early, anything could happen. Kinda surprised that Volunteer lost to Sullivan east, even though I heard East was improved.Best I can figure Compustupe is a Sullivan South guy, so he'll be obnoxious for at least one more season.chasescott appears to be from Knoxville way, not a Boone fan, just a Greeneville hater, I guess.

So...enough football, do you think I should switch from mud to jello...I think it might be easier on my old knees.

Is Boone's line big? Are they tall and heavy or just heavy? Don't know?

I thought you saw them in the jamboree.Thats why I asked.

Didn't your line backer get kicked in the face by a horse last year? How is he doing does anyone know?

 

 

Didn't mean to ignore the question, sorry.

 

Calvin McCray, the linebacker you mentioned, was stomped in the face by a bull after being thrown off in a rodeo event. His skull was fractured, facial bones crushed, as well as other injuries. I was told he stopped breathing twice on the way to the hospital.

 

After a tough recovery and a few setbacks (including a life-threatening infection that caused the doctors to remove the titanium plates in his face), he has recovered as much as possible. However, my understanding is that doctors will not release him to play, which (especially if you know Calvin) is absolutely killing him. I suppose because of the facial and head trauma, and because he lost an eye in the accident.

 

He is certainly one tough customer. If you saw any Boone games late in the season last year, you probably saw him on the sideline, the short, muscular boy wearing the black cowboy hat and eyepatch, and waving the towel to keep his teammates fired up, including one game where he made the doctors put off his surgery for the afore-mentioned infection until after Friday night, so he wouldn't miss the game.

 

He's still part of the soul of the team, so thanks for asking.

Calvin is a fine country gentleman, and I did have an opportunity to talk to him. FB may be a love for him but after riding the bulls I got the impression that mear humans would be easy. If you thought we got whipped last year, be glad Calvin wasn't out there. Now this year.......

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
