SXSW

I sure will SXSW,  I'll send you a PM in the next couple of days.  I ride my bike over around Kingsport quite a bit when the weather permits so we will try to work something out.

P.M me and I will give you my number sometime and we can text and meet up for dinner sometime. My gosh all the memories. I think we lived the same life just a few years apart.

We grew up well, didn't we. We were there long enough to soak up the culture and the area but not long enough to let it jade us. We would take Sunday rides to Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania and we thought it was normal. We went back and spent some time at Conowingo Dam and Peach Bottom, Pa. My mom's favorite place was Longwood Garden's in Longwood, Pa. The 4th of July Fireworks over the Chesapeake Bay at Havre De Grace was and is still awesome. The Ripken Family sponsored our Little League team in the Aberdeen Little League met their Cal, Sr. a couple of times. The trip down memory lane has been fantastic. I am a railroad nut and the trains there were awesome to me the  Northeast Corridor of Amtrak was is a sight to behold trains zooming by at 100 mph plus. The big rail gun at the Proving Ground everyone should see.

I too, went to elementary school in Maryland, (Hillsdale Elementary in Aberdeen) we had the most awesome lunches, we had shrimp, pizza, and philly cheesesteak sandwiches, crab cakes and apple pies. we came back to Scott Co. in sixth grade and the cook at Yuma Elementary School was fantastic she made homemade rolls that were to die for  and her hot dog chili was homemade. Soup Beans and cornbread with real butter, turkey and dressing. man the memories. I was glad to partake in the hijacking of this thread just for nostalgia's sake!

I don't know of a single football player Harry Fry had that transferred just to play football, all his talent was home grown! His teams relied on defense and running the football and those kids learned that in little league. Most Tennessee kids couldn't take the strictness and conformity that was the GC program until a few years ago,

3 interviews were held yesterday. 3 were held today. No offers made yet.

Any news on the interviews?

DB was very mediocre during Fry's tenure. DB is the most overrated high school in the State of Tennessee in sports, academics is another issue, but very, very average on a state level in sports.

The Cumberland and Black Diamond just need to merge and be done with it. The combined district would have Burton, Castlewood, Eastside, Rye Cove, Twin Springs, Thomas Walker, Grundy, Honaker, Hurley and Twin Valley. A perfect ten team district with competitive balance. Call it the Cumberdiamond District. nine district games and one non-district.

Poor Hurley, they can't catch a break. Poor schedule, bad attitudes and now fleeing players. What's next an earthquake at the Cliff and it slides away into Kentucky. Honestly I don't know if the fans can take much more. 

No. Interviews were supposed to be started today from what I heard through the grapevine. About 12 solid applicants as of the beginning of this week.

So back to the original topic, Have any of the vacancies been filled on the staff.

And without Colobro coaching, Darren Reed will drive Abingdon straight into the mediocrity from which Colobro raised it. I'm fairly certain of that.

Richt will have them on the edge of greatness very soon.  They may not ever reach greatness but he will get them close.

I just wanted to take a second and thank everyone on the message board a very Merry Christmas, I know it is a couple of days early but I want be near for the next couple of days. If you don't believe in Jesus, Happy whatever you celebrate! Thanks for the inclusion and here's to an outstanding 2017.

Congratulations and best of luck to him, I hope he has as much success as the last D1 player from Honaker had.

My thoughts are that he brings one of his son with him and turns the program over to him. His son turns Tazewell into a championship caliber team and the year before they win the state title he leaves to go coach Gate City and has wild success there, winning multiple state titles there. He retires in twenty five years as GC's all-time wins leader and then ten years later goes back to Tazewell and Colobro's grandson starts the whole process over again.

If Tazewell has any glory to be squeezed out of it, Nick will get it done, if the kids are willing to listen and work hard.

I think he has seen the writing on the wall, Middle Tennessee is becoming a beast for the East Tennessee teams to deal with. I think in the next few years all the football power will be within a one hundred mile circle of Nashvillie. He can't accomplish more in high school than he already has so good luck to him. It won't be long until he is a head coach somewhere in college, probably Furman.
