I wish you would have joined the Marines and then you could have become The Officer to go with Gentleman you all ready are. Well said!

Much appreciated, but I consider myself poorly educated due to the fact that I only did what I needed to make it through high school, as I had no ambitions of attending college. My ambitions at the time consisted of either joining the Marines, or getting a job in the mines. My dad (a Marine who survived Iwo Jima) talked me out of both. Fortunately, I was able to land a job at Eastman, where I learned that being dependable, listening to people with experience, taking an interest in learning the intricacies of my job, actually doing a good job and having some communication skills would allow me to make a nice living and retire comfortably. I consider myself beyond fortunate.

Any news is good news, when it adds bodies. may find the next all state linebacker just walking the halls.

Heard Gate City picked up several more to put them around 36. Still not ideal but much better than 29. 

Some of y'all just sit around, watch the news, and hope it's bad just so you'll have something to bitch about.

Bo Nix looking pretty good in pre season workouts and they have a full 85 on scholarship. Tough schedule though!

At least we do have some incredibly intelligent posters on this board...

A fractured school board botched the coaching hire after Bill Houseright left... Robbie Norris was hired and the board changed his arrangement about his assistant coaches he was bringing with him and then Justin Hilton turned them down and it was into the bushes they went trying to find a head coach. Houseright the elder knew of the talent hole coming and bailed. I don't think any coach living or dead could have gotten any more wins out of the talent but Akers done a scorched earth policy at Gate City it may never recover from it. Like I posted above they have given me the ultimate thrill of seeing 4 State Championships in person and wining 5 overall and some schools would see their souls just for 1..if they never win another I will always be a fan! 

It is easy to hit a low hanging piñata. And that is what GC football is right now. Will it ever return to the glory it once was? Who knows! I know as a fan they have given me so much pleasure that I can endure the pain. Gate City has lost all it's big money boosters and all it's elite athletes play other sports now and the losing has created a sense of apathy. Football evolved and GC football did not and hence the struggle. So when you combine apathy, lack of athletes and no financial support you get what you have now. Always remember Football more than any other sport runs in cycles and the cycle at GC is down right now, and the board is a little more boring without the GC fans!  

Just don't piss off G-Man and you will be good!

It’s brand new. It’s like a little festival on the field. Fans pay $10 and get a BBQ dinner. There will be live music — games, food, vendors, new merch, etc. And the team will be there, too. It’s more of a community event than a sporting event.

All I can say is go GMen! It cannot get here soon enough! We need football as usual! Heck, everything as usual! 

Only two more months till semi-normal returns! I just want to be able to go to a game, grab a drink and a bag of popcorn and eat one of those terrible hot dogs at the stadium and wonder where the indegestion came from.

It's what's to be expected since the Arab Glade Spring began.

It is ALWAYS football season in my mind.
