Motorhead 5150

I know they practiced at Emory & Henry's field one day this week. That's a good move, letting the players get used to the field turf somewhat before the game today. Good luck Warriors! I'll be listening. I'm sure my barber from Chilhowie will be at the game.

Ha! Yep. That was me! :). Nice to meet you for a little bit. Did you all drive down last night?

Could have been. I was wearing a Georgia hat and a black jacket. Was that you I spoke to while I was waiting for a table?

I saw several Appomattox fans at Ihop in Bristol this morning.

My family likes it as well. Love the catfish and always have some left over to bring home. I remember eating there years ago when it was Western Sizzlin.

Probably about 40 mins.

Now there's a guy I can't stand! lol

I know this is the morning after but I went back and read this post which made me think back to when I was a kid growing up and cheering for the Bulldogs. I had never been to a game at Grundy before and the week of the game people were telling me, "Oh I hear the last time, Tazewell went to Grundy, they slashed the tires on the band bus and stabbed a few people and threw them into the bushes!". Well naturally I was scared to death to go, but of course we had to go watch my brother play so off we went. Of course nothing happened and years later, I got to know several people from Grundy when I was in college who were some of the nicest people I've ever met on earth. It's a shame that a few fans from a each school tend to ruin the perception for everyone else.

The one guy keeps yawning. Can someone get him a cup of coffee?

They don't even know the overtime rules. "So if they score a touchdown is it over?". LOL!

They never let the other one talk. They're always interrupting each other. Horrible!

Being a former Bulldog player myself, I don't know about Marion being such a big rivalry game either. I do know things got pretty heated at the end of a playoff game over there in '87. If it was going to turn into a big rivalry, it would have definitely been after that.

Is that a final?

My top worst fields would be: (and this is no reflection on the people who live there) 1. Marion- The baseball/football field is horrible. They need a dedicated field just for football. 2. Richlands visitor side- I was over there one year back in the 80's when a bleacher broke and a girl fell through and hit a metal cross member underneath the stands. Not enough seats for the big rival games plus no concessions or bathrooms on visitor's side. 3. Grundy- Awful stands (only one side) and awful field. Well it used to be like that. I haven't been to a game there in several years. 4. Lebanon- So cramped in beside the old high school it's not even funny. Legion field in Gate City was intimidating back in the 80's (fireworks being set off during the game by fans) but I went there for a playoff game about 3 yrs ago and thoroughly enjoyed it! The fans were great and I witnessed true sportsmanship at the end of the game between the Richlands fans and the GC fans.

So glad to see Coach Colobro back in Tazewell again. There is a buzz back in the community like I haven't seen in a while. I guarantee you they will go back to the basics of blocking, tackling, and being in tip top shape. That's as much about football as X's and O's. I think too often this day and age people overlook the basics and focus on running the Pistol formation and Jet sweeps, etc.
