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.

    • So much talk about an investigation about student record manipulation and then everything has went silent. Has anyone heard how the investigation is going?
    • Basically what you're saying is schools can basically bully students around and get away with it because they are protected. I agree to a certain extent but when schools decisions to keep knuckleheads on staff starts costing kids careers and a college education there is a problem. Our school system last week had a teacher supposedly push a kid and the parents went to the law and the teacher is suspended. So I wouldn't say that they can just do what they want without liability. This case don't pass the smell test because the coach had already been fired before and she got fired after a year on the job. Sounds like the student was right in this case on the outside looking in because the coach gets fired after one year. How many coaches get fired after one year?? Not many. 
    • Problem with DB football goes beyond coaching. Like Waco said. Thr band is the main focus of their community and school. They have the resources to be a championship level team. Guarantee Ballard or Witten could have them nationally relevant at some point but everyone down to peewee would have to buy in and at DB we all know that would never happen. 
    • I know the RB from OR he’s fast and has good hands. Is good on special teams also. Didn’t want to play defense over to the Ridge.
