Perhaps the surrendering of the troops, even though the fact of the surrender didn't get through to all lines for several weeks and battles still raged. The north had industry and improvement, while the south wanted to stay and rely upon the old style plantation, which made them ship all of their goods to the north for finishing. Now anyone with HALF a brain knows that the money stays with the finished product. So, the south was producings a crop, being paid for it, but then having to purchase the finished product from the North. This left them entirely dependent upon the North and other countries. However, they still refused to change. Would you like to know more? They had no means of true income beyond crop production and no desire to improve their means of crop production because they didn't want to change their way of crop production. Actually slavery wasn't an issue until towards the middle of the war when Lincoln used the moral issue of slavery to rouse the North to fight harder because they weren't sure they really wanted the southern lands. I still know tons more? It is amazing what one knows when they are actually educated....

All I can say is I want more than anything for the Falcons to KICK BOOTY and win!!! I know they have worked harder this week than they have the preceding weeks, so I sure know they are getting ready for this game. I want them to come away the VICTORS it would do their moral some good!!

 

So what about the game? Do I smell an upset, or is it something else?

Very easy to correct get rid of trouble makers no matter whose son or daughter they are. It won't take but one time of doing this for the rest of the players to find out HEY COACH ISN"T GOINT TO PUT UP WITH THIS, we better straighten up or we are gone ----VERY SIMPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The coach is in charge and he can say whose stays and goes and he can't then there are big problems.

 

they do it is all over the place, look at Franklin Co, shelbyville, most all of the nashville schools, for the most part the kids these days don't care until they are out of high school and then they look back and see what they missed out on. Heck for the last five years franklin county has been the most athletic team in the region, the kids just can't stay out of trouble

Not really. Most of the goods were shipped north. Some goods were shipped back to England or to France, but not near as many. The East Indian Trading Company picked up quite a few when they brought over new slaves as well. From what else I could gather of your choppy sentence(s), you were speaking of state's rights. Well, state's rights ENDS when it comes to human rights. The South argued over repayment of Revolution debt, taxes and slavery. Basically, they wanted to control each state individually, which is not what we as a new nation, had slated. I could go on for hours on history...I am working on my Masters in History......

I wish you knew what you were talking about but aparently you don't have a clue. I was born and raised here and followed Lincoln County when it was Central and Billy Joe Evans was a coach. Followed it when John Medows was the coach, now there is a great coach. I was in the stands when Tim Johnson scored in overtime to win LC's first State Champioship. You want to open your mouth and talk about something you know little about so lets hear it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

So you were in the stands when Tim scored on Gallant to win the first State. Well I was there too. Now have some respect and for the past, present and future. All the things that you and Flying Mom are saying and this board is hurting the players more than anybody. Coach T is a grown man, but the players on the team are still children. Again, if you have problems with the way things are going why don't you go and talk to the man himself. He is a great man and I am sure he will more than glad to hear about how you think he should do his job.

I have no problem with the the players/children you call them that are doing what is right. I do have a problem with the ones that are using all the foul language , drinking, getting arrested and acting like punks and I have a problem with the coaches doing some things they are doing. I just wish Coach T would stand up and take care of these problems. If he does this I will back him 100% and will see that the GREATNESS is still there.

No, I am not from here. I am from an area where things are MUCH different. It is time for a change. Too much politics. I have been asked by many to run for school board to start the movement for change, yet I hesitate because of people like you; entrenched in the old with blinders and a refusal to change. No wonder why the South lost the war. The refusal to change has been historically famous in the South for generations and centuries. What angers me is, I am sure the same people on here touting not to speak in public against our kids and school ball team, are probably the same people that do not hesitate to degrade and down our government and political system without doing anything about it either.

 

 

Again you are wrong. It most be wonderful to know everything like you /roflolk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflolk:" border="0" alt="roflolk.gif" /> . I am a voter and I vote for what I believe in,God and my country.(Country First: Reform*Prosperity*Peace) /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" /> And when someone crosses the line, I have not problem letting them know about it. That is why I am trying to make you understand that you are doing more damage than good. You need to think more about the good of the players than you very stupid opinions.

    • A complete cultural change happened at Greeneville and the administration and community opened up their checkbooks.  What a lot of people don't know is Ballard was Zeller's OC for many years and stopped coaching for two years because Zeller and Ballard didn't see eye to eye on some things.  Zeller lead Greeneville to it's first ever Semi Final appearance in 2000 and lost 28-12 at Maryville and had them in the Quarter Finals in 2002 and 2003.  Z was a great coach but lost some control when it came to making workouts mandatory. (He learned from that Mistake and it was at LC when i coached with him.).  Z was let go going into my Senior Year and was replaced by Steve McCurry who was the one that turned the program around.  Steve had won a 4a state championship at AC Reynolds in Asheville and made the administration completely redo the weight room with new equipment, had a football period at the end of the school day to lift, started devil camp, and brought in coaches like Danny Bentley (Still the OL coach), Ballard as the OC, Cody Baugh (QB coach and still there), and even Spradlen who is Greeneville's head coach now as the DB's Coach.  McCurry only coached for two seasons at Greeneville and took a team that had a losing record the year before and finished my Senior Year making it to the Quarters and having a 10-3 record and then followed it up with a Semi Final appearance the next year with an 11-3 record and back to back conference championships.  Loved McCurry to death but the recession hit and the story i heard was he was still buying new equipment for the team that the Principal didn't authorize and his response was "I don't answer to you and only to Niswonger and Bewley" (Two huge donors).  That was it for him and they Promoted Ballard shortly after that.   Greeneville had always been relevant ever since the the late 70's under Coach Fred Sorrell's.  Since Sorrell's took over in 1977 Greeneville overall winning percentage is over 76%.  The biggest reason people might not have thought Greeneville was "Good" until Ballard was Greeneville always played up Classification wise and could never get over the hump. (When there were 3 classifications we played 3a, when it went to 5 we played 4a).  Greeneville is the largest its ever been with 953 students and where playing teams 2 or 3 times there size back in the day (I had a little over 800 kids in the school when i graduated in 2008).  Other teams always would know they would be sore after a game but depth took over and never won a Championship until Greeneville played in the classification the TSSAA actually assigned them. You had names like Dustin Moore (1993 Mr Football for 3a and who Phillip Fulmer said was one of the greatest athletes he ever recruited), James "Mud Turtle" Mayes, Brigham Lyons, Byron Gillespie, Frankie Debusk (National Champion Qb at Furman with GQ), Jasmine Lowery, Cody Baugh, The Greenway Brothers, Joe Watson (Furman), etc.  Now the cultural is from the Pee Wee league up and you grow up as a young kid wanting to wear the Greene and White.  Here is a really good link when it comes to anything Greeneville Football related. https://greenevillefootball.com/   I also don't coach anymore.  Z told me i was to smart with how the school systems are ran these days and ended up going into real estate in Knoxville which has been a great decision for my life.
    • Yes, they will. I'm wondering what kinds of strides Sale Creek will make heading into the second season under Coach Fitz.
    • No yellow stripes on the rug last night. Biggest crowd I’ve seen at 825 since the alco debacle. 
    • I know most Pirate starters were seniors last year. Im not sure how accurate it is but someone said we only have 3 seniors. That Prep team will probably make some noise this coming season too.
