What is the best IFL game never played?

DB vs. Gate City (Virginia)  circa late 70's early 80's

 

Do any of you old-timers remember back in the 70's and early 80's about how much smack talk was going on about this game?       This was the most talked about game that was never played, for some reason the two schools just never scheduled each other.    Even the Kingsport Times stirred it up occasionally.    A lot of this was between Eastman employees who lived in both cities and I guess had kids in both schools (I had a friend at Eastman at the time who relayed this info....).   You would hear things like:

 

GATE CITY:   The mighty DB is afraid to step over the line, yeah that's right, afraid...

 

DB:  Kingsport residents, please remember to flush your toilets, Gate City needs the water...

 

At that time DB was stomping the stuffing out of all the other Tri-cities teams and Gate City had some pretty stout teams as well.

 

I submit to you that this is the greatest IFL game never played.

    • Yep..could possibly have 3 teams ranked in top ten in the same four team district.
    • He had an opportunity to be the OC at TC without final say in the offensive gameplan. How does that work? Smh. Head Coaches are public figures regardless of the community size, and yes there are some out there, it’s irrelevant and not fair to them to name them on here. Also why is said “head coach” the head coach of the MS baseball program to begin with? Oh because no one wants it. As for the Lebanon question, I know what I’ve been told so just going off here say, some of the boosters were not happy with his roster decisions and wanted him out. Although he lead them to 20+ wins in multiple seasons 
    • A head coach in the school system? No I dont think so. Head coaches are public figures in small communities. Not trying to slander, but this is an actual question. Do you know why he was forced to resign at Lebanon? This was his second chance.  He already left trousdale once and had an opportunity to come back a couple of years ago but spoiled that. 
    • Are you perfect? Nope no one is, at the end of the day there are several teachers/coaches and even some in the Trousdale County school system that have DUI’s on their record. You’re correct on it being a bad mistake and it unfortunately could have ended horribly. While you consider the consequences minimal, I can assure you they are not. Ultimately I hope and have faith that he will learn from it and use it to better himself.
