I’ll make sure to find you and talk to you tonight. Maybe even buy you a slice of pizza.

I'm looking forward to the county football festival on Friday evening, what say you Murph.....

I’m ready for tonight. Looking forward to seeing all the county teams tonight. It’s fun having all the county together and catching up with old friends.

Tonight would been a great time to pull out all those Little Smoky Bowl trophies to show everyone for recruiting purposes. I actually saw a program from that game two weeks ago for the game against Powell back on 11-23-67. It would take an awfully dedicated fan to miss Thanksgiving Dinner in order to go watch a 2-6-1 Sevier County football team in the cold weather play Powell High School.

They sure were piled in to the old Lon C Burchfield last night, some good football was played and some uuuuugly football was played. The Smoky Bears looked really good IMO and the Cougars were a nice surprise playing with the Highlanders....

Not even sure where those trophies are. I hope they’re in the trophy cases in the commons area, but I don’t think they are.

Maybe the most packed I’ve ever seen it. Had a lot fun watching the local teams play. Me personally I’d rather watch SC play the county teams than lenoir, hva, or east hamilton. Be more fun and a bigger crowd against Northview, GP, PF, or Seymour.

I would want that on my tombstone if I had been one of those coaches. Speaking of old coaches Bob Davis who was an assistant for one year back in 55 under Coggins then took the program over in 56, 57 and 58 before leaving for Carson-Newman was one of Doug Dickey's hand picked assistants when he arrived at UT. Davis was a long time employee of UT and served many rolls until his retirement. It's nice to know that one of your former head coaches done well after leaving there.

Ol Barn ain’t playing. Thanks for sharing the program with me at Hardee’s this morning.

I really enjoyed us old timers discussing the jamborees and what we think will happen this upcoming season. Maybe next time some of our “fans” from 226 cedar street will join us and get a history lesson.

Check this out smoky bear fans. Knoxville dirty birds, fort Craig, Ron wright, fountain city, Newells station, and north maryville all on the same schedule. 

 

And now we duck these teams.

GP will never play SC on football. They are happy beating up on the likes of North Green before getting trounced by Alcoa in the playoffs

Heard the FR QB from Sevier is a real player. I am sure he will make a few mistakes due to youth, but ole Murphy sure has egg on his face on that one
