That's debatable, but not my point. My point was that it's weird for so many schools in such close proximity to all use the same songs.

I don’t see the issue if multiple teams use it. I’ve really only seen 2 or 3 use it. Richlands has used Thunderstruck for 15 or so years now. And it make when perfect since with what the mascot is. Hells Bells works for GC. They could also use For Whom the Bell Tolls and it make sense, too. But I’m cool with schools using what suits them.

There's no real connection between the song and Union, Bears or Big Stone. Oh and can you clean out your PMs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam McPoyle 1,863 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 A rock-themed song that matches Union is tough. How about a bear-themed bluegrass song with a local connection? Ole Slew Foot was recorded by Wise County natives Jim and Jesse McReynolds.. We shouldn't under estimate the power traditional music can have in sports. UT fans absolutely lose their minds when they hear the song I won't mention. Anyway, the song is about a legendary bear that is so large and so fast that he can't be caught by locals living in the mountains. Other versions were recorded by June Carter and Johnny Cash, Grateful Dead, Chris LeDoux, and Buck Owens. Link to Jim and Jesse 1976 version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KT5kU-Ff0s0 Ole Slew Foot by bluegrasslyrics.com High on a mountain, tell me what do you see Bear tracks bear tracks looking back at me Better get your rifles before its too late The bear’s got a little pig and he’s headed for the gate He’s big around the middle and broad across the rump Running ninety miles an hour, taking thirty feet a jump Ain’t never been caught, he ain’t never been treed And some folks say he looks a lot like me Saved up my money and bought me some bees Started making honey way up in the trees Cut down the trees but the honey’s all gone Old slew foot has done made himself at home Winter’s coming on and it’s forty below River’s froze over, so where can he go I’ll chase him up the gully and run him in the well Shoot him in the bottom just to listen to him yell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trublue 939 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 excerpt from above article: “Last year was our first losing season in 19 years,” Moir said. “I think we should be able to bounce back this year and I think the town still believes in us. We should have a pretty good year.” Yes, Blue Tornado fans still believe... excited for a new season!!! Bigrhsfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tru Blue 72 423 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Old school: run the ball with a threat of passing. New School: pass the ball with a threat of running. Brown showed to be a good short yardage runner last year and having him in this position creates a great opportunity for options, but it will be good to know that Tonney can be thrown into the mix for the speed effect. I agree that this season will very interesting for the Blues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
