How many do Appy have out this year?
What were you doing this afternoon????
I seen more players throw up today, than I've seen in the last 9-10 years. And it was the easiest day of 2 a days I've ever seen. Have you all not been running? getting in shape? Some looked like they hadnt touched a weight? Whats goin on? Players sitting down, taking breaks...Taking helmets off, while on the field. Not paying attention to Coaches. Do you want to win a few games this year ? act like it. When Coach Austin says
"hustle" or "on the hop" There shouldnt be 5-10 ppl in the back still walking. Just b/c Coach Turner isnt there to stick his foot up your butts, doesnt mean you all can take it easy, or take shortcuts. 1 last thing...Where is the leadership at???? When you seniors/ Juniors see ppl walking, or taking plays off....step in and get on em. Even if its another Junior or Senior.
Remember this.... You play the way you practice. 4th and 1, down by 7 with a few min to go in the game....Ppl are tired.....Do you want to have someone on your team who's gonna take that play off, or go 50% on that play? If you do....then fine...Keep goin' the way you're going...You'll be in street clothes come playoff time, watching J.I.Burton playing freakin' Hurley for the region title. Do you want that? If not....go 100%, all the time. Get on the ones who're not going 100%. If you get sick and need a play off... do what coach says...take your helmet off and walk a couple laps to get some air....That doesnt mean walk 50 laps and take advantage of the situation, while your friends are running their butts off.
You all have the talent..Just listen to Coach Austin, and Travis. You've got good coaches...Just pay attention, and work for em. No shortcuts, 100% all the time. No quit.
Its time to step it up a notch or two. Good luck Dawgs!
How many do Appy have out this year?
I could have easily miscounted, but I counted about 37 or so.
On another note...caught about the last 20 min of Pvs practice....They're Big...real big...and real fast. What little bit I did see of em, they looked sharp. I dont see anyone beating them... not even close.
Never know. But good luck to em.
Deja Moo: The feeling that you've heard this bull before.
Best of Luck to the Dawgs, Hope to see them come back to the regular Appy Standards.
Took the words from my mouth.

Not on the subject of Appy football, but football in general. Even though Coeburn will be out of the LPD after this year, i look for them to start fielding some competitive teams in the next couple of years (couple being 4-5). I played under Coach Mullins, not as head coach, but assistant, and i've always thought him to be a footbal-minded person who knows his stuff. Anyways, i stopped by the fieldhouse to lift weights today and got to talk to him for a while. Just to see what all he has done to the place in general (ie. new weights, equipment, etc.), has surprised me. And to know that he spends so much of his time helping to get these things (via working bingo, fundraisers, golf tournaments, etc.) really goes to show how much he cares about the programs future. And with him starting to help out with the younger kids..elementary kids that is, is what we have always needed. A feeder program is where it is at, and when you have a head coach at the HS level getting involved in that, then good things can happen in time. I'm not saying that the Knights are going to be world beaters anytime soon, but give Mullins a few years, and good things will happen. The man knows his football, has a great staff around him now (got a new assistant this year as well, i believe he said his name was Reynolds..played at Clintwood a few years back i believe). Maybe not this year, or next year, or the year after that, but once he gets the pendulum swinging in the right direction in all aspects of "coeburn football" i look for great things to happen.
"i asked a toothless man, who all these people were and, he said the soapmakers...and we are workin workin"
i'm heard JIB has 65 out..15 of those being jv players....
looks like the success of the program has attracted some attention of students that usually aren't out there in the heat working their butts off
how many kids did pv have on the field today?
will pv stay in the spread set or will they go back to the I formation.
They were running passing plays out of the spread, while I was watching. Like I said, I only caught about the last 20 min of practice though.
