how about the heart showed by db players like tyler nottingham on the clinching td run passed out from the overwhelming pain in the endzone and after the game when i ran out on to the field he could barley walk you could tell he left his heart on the field. what an effort and youre right snake dee pumping up the fans while being helped off the field and the student section chanting his name was awesome

Steven Moton is not a dirty player. I did notice however that the first time he touched the ball Friday that he was getting his ankle twisted after the play was over. I believe that if anybody was playin dirty it was Oak Ridge. Gulmire does sound like a nice kid, and boy is he good, but he did get nailed at the end, maybe Choke Ridge should have just let the pain get over with and end the game.

 

By the way, BigReno, I think you need to stop hidin from me and OJ after lunch, we find you every day, and we take you cupcakes every day. You should have stayed with the student section Friday, I guess you couldnt see over us.... oh well

AhhSkeetSkeet,

 

Them thars fightin' words. First of all, Big Reno don't hide from nobody, well maybe his wife, but definitely not you and OJ - whoever you are.

 

Big Reno don't remember anyone giving him cupcakes, but if you want to his birthday is in a couple of weeks. Wait a minute - Big Reno remembers some FRESHMEN eating his birthday cupcakes.

 

Big Reno will also show you whose standing tall and can see over everyone else. Meet me in the Activities lobby after 1st lunch. Whatcha gonna do when Big Reno comes crashin' down on you.

 

DRDB - I hope you got my back!!!!

Hey Skunk, next time you come back to the ship, come to the tailgate at the top of the hill on Kentucky Ave. and the meal is on me . I'll be the one over the bar-b-que grill. Sometimes I'm called the Cookin Coach. By the way, I got the idea from you all. I was at DB in my motorhome and you guys were selling bbq in the parking lot. thanks for the idea. Good luck the rest of the season, don't get anyone hurt and we will see you later in the year.

Thank you bounder, I'll happily take you up on your offer...but you don't have to pay for the meal, I'll be happy to. I had planned on dining at the "Ship" last week, but my oldest daughter was involved in a traffic accident last Friday morning and so we didn't leave Kingsport as early as planned...she is fine (car totalled, but she is fine - not her fault)...and just so that you know, I do plan on a return visit this year - we have to take care of business up this way and then get through a couple of playoff rounds, but I am hopeful we can and I am sure you all will do the same. So there you go, we get to play again and I get to enjoy your cooking...Thanks again Cooking Coach (bounder)...Good luck to your "Cats" the rest of the way, as well.

Has the wind and rain hit Oak Ridge yet? I see where the Chattanooga games rescheduled for tonight have now been postponed...this may well be some very ugly weather (and football is not the main concern, but safety is).

Skunk late reading this coachT thing ,the wife has a long honey do list. Sorry about your daughter but am glad she is alright. Boy did it rain here the only time I saw more rain was when we played Johnson City here a the Ship a few, no a lot of years ago. I think it was a playoff game. Getting old, must have sometimers, or maybe I just have too much to keep up with.

    • I've always been a football fan first and then if you have a band that's awesome.No question that DB has one of the best bands in the country and the whole region should attend at least one DB game just to see their band. I don't know if Nick Saban could come to Kingsport and build a football program that could match the Dobyns Bennett band's success.That said,as mentioned before, a couple of things would have to change in order for the Tribe to just win a state championship on the field.Besides a program that starts from the peewee teams and goes all the way to J Fred with all coaches and weight training { in time }on the same page. Sometimes it also takes a little luck like the 1998 Vols .There are a lot of great athletes at a lot of big schools around the state and just because you want something doesn't mean your going to build a program like Alcoa has. Yes,start at the bottom and have guys that are quality coaches teaching at every level is 100% the first step. Parents can make it a lot easier by getting their young athletes into an early start with conditioning and weights as well when they are old enough to lift.If your son is a man in the weight room before he gets to DB , then it won't take a "Dobbs" coach to make him competitive against other schools athletes when it comes to strength.

    • 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.
