Tell him that those Devils are going to be hard to beat and hope he gets better soon.

Both these teams have handed my Springfield boys there hats a couple of times, but I’ve nothing but respect for the passionate fans on both sides. It’s good to know their are others like some of us Jacket fans out there. That being said, there’s no truer fan that loves his team more than BVD. Tell him the Springfield fans wish him nothing but the best. Get well soon BVD!!

It's the calm before the storm. Who's got some fun facts about the Greeneville  Elizabethton rivalry? 

The series started in 1924, the first two games between the two saw Greeneville win by a combined score of 89-0. The 1926 season saw one of two ties in the history of the series. Elizabethton got their first win over Greenville in the 1927 season, 19-0. Elizabethton would take the next 9 straight games in the series before it ended until 1953.

Now that's the kind of historical breakdown every game thread on here needs. Nearly a hundred years ago they got this rivalry going.

Just to add a little to the History Betsy holds a 42-33-2 record vs the Devils and 5-3 in the Play Offs.  Betsy and Greeneville played every years since 1924 (Except during WW2) until Betsy dropped Greeneville in 2007

Being a 12 month Administrator, I was always the acting AD basically in July. We had not received the contract for the home game from Betsy. I made the call and the AD said we weren’t playing. First we had heard about the cancelling of our game. I wondered when they would have contacted us. It was very  un Elizabethton like. We hustled and found you all a game in Kentucky.

Both sides worked hard not to make this mishap a stumbling block for our schools, and other activities and sports.

We were replaced by Happy Valley and we added Mercer County Kentucky.

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
