Please send me what you have; I have put the MBA ones up there tonight. Thanks.

 

Question to anyone: Should the Clinic Bowls at the beginning of the season ('05 - Byrnes/MBA, '06 - Lipscomb/Goodpasture, '07 - Franklin/Hillsboro) count? Yes, they are Clinic Bowls, but there's something about their occurring at the beginning of the season that makes me unsure as to whether or not they should be included.

 

 

No. They are glorified regular-season games, not a post-season game played as a reward for a good season. Several of the jamborees played in this era are known as bowls, e.g. the "Tobacco Bowl" played annually at Hartsville. These shouldn't be regarded as bowls either.

On the Clinic Bowl, I have included only Clinic Bowls up until 1971. In 1972, the Clinic Bowl became essentially a playoff game for AAA Middle Tennessee teams, so it was more of a playoff game than a bowl game. And, of course, the Clinic Bowl ultimately became the title game for the various classes before the Blue Cross Bowl.

 

As for the Hartsville Tobacco Bowl, while I haven't researched all the games, it appears most, if not all, of these games occurred at the end of the season, and they involved teams with winning records. I certainly don't claim to know the history, but they appear to have the attributes (i.e., end of season, teams with winning records, etc.) of a bowl game.

    • This late in the year, you’d have to think they’d go with an Asst. on staff, right? I’m pretty new to the area so still learning how folks do things around here…if Woods stays there to teach, it could be hard on a new guy/staff coming in…
    • Well, your Big Western Hunt better turn up some Zebras to come graze on the Stones to make the jungle gametime ready again and make sure the plumber bros. still will come service the facilities at the Mecca. I hope your weekend is Fowl. Tell Rip hello from the Five Oh. Maybe the Gravedigger will catch a ride with Alphaniner on a flyover soon to BNA. 
    • It’s not hearsay, just patently false. As one of those young coaches he apparently “ran off”, coach never once ridiculed or degraded anyone. Sure he challenged kids and coached them very hard,  but we have different definitions of you call that degrading. Coach Hammontree changed my life when he gave me the chance to work for him. I learned more about being a man and caring for the people around me in 4 years working for him than I did in 20 years of my life. No one sacrificed more than he did. I left Heritage because I felt there would never be the support necessary to help the program succeed. I’m tired of hearing people drag others down especially those they truly don’t know. Coach has moved on and a new coach is there. Just let the man live and root for the team. 
    • Waiting on the Great One.   White Horse and Rip have a big weekend in the woods, and the Sheriff is working the overtime here.      Turkey season awaits…..Big Gobblers everywhere.
