Yes. Contrary to opionion, I have.
You work the scoreboard for most of the Clintwood basketball games. I've seen your daughter play and your niece. I also knew your mother when John Dotson was principal of the elementary school. I was very sorry to hear of her passing.

Here's a few of the things Greencrest has said about Norton... (1) it's just Norton, ie. there's nothing special about them (despite the fact that they are undefeated), (2) it's just a team Clintwood can beat 8 out of 10 times, (3) the only team Norton has beat is Appy (I guess Powell Valley just fell off the face of the earth) and let's not forget (4) they're just 3-time state losers.

Minus the 3-time state championship loser comment which I'll admit was classless and un-called for, everything else is just my honest opinion. I dont mean any disrespect, its just my feelings toward JI Burton. They are absolutely nothing special to me. It seems everyone wants to just bow down to them and just give them every game because its the "MIGHTY RAIDERS", please, give me one reason that would give JI Burton the credibility to where I should think otherwise about them. Yeah they beat us last year 6 to 0 in a slobber knocker of a ball game against probably the worst Clinwtood team in at least 5 years. They beat the worst PV team that there has been in probably 20 years. Woopty freakin doo. Not impressed. I apologize for not being impressed with Norton. It might just be pride talking, but thats how I feel about it. Honest opinions, disrespect or not, take it however you want to.
UTVol, first off, I wont ban you for your opinion. How exactly is my view on something being said 'motivational' being Green shaded? I think thats ridiculous no matter who does it, has nothing to do with Green. Like I said, it would be just as ridiculous if Clintwood was motivated because of you saying that Burton would win handily. Talk is cheap, and if anybody is motivated by something on this board, they need to be examined. What are they going to do later in the playoffs, go patrol Fog River community board, or probably have people like yourself who probably post on the local board as one person, then gripe about it as the other team. You know, for someone who doesn't have any ties to the area, you sure seem to know an awful lot about it.
Again, Haysi beat Clintwood badly. Appy beat us badly. Can't undo that. The past is the past, but its funny how you seem to want to rip into Clintwood about their past and their fans, when last I heard when there used to be a sportsmanship trophy that Clintwood used to get it quite regularly. We've got our bad fans, like anybody else, but most of the time, our fans are generally decent people.
You're right, 2 mods of this board from Clintwood, both put on by a person from Powell Valley because we were able to not just stick the Clintwood colored glasses on. Its funny, I stick up for Burrhead on here and I'm looking out for our own, but to him half the time I pick on him because he's from Clintwood, its all about perspective.
Hey, as far as I know, pretty much everybody has respect for the Burton team, how can you not? Greencrest said its just Burton....well is it not just Burton? I mean if you actually read the board and not just try to snipe Clintwood, people from every school have said this is not a great year for the district. Burton is IMO the class, even though in pre-season PV was picked, but you have had people from all over the area talking about how difficult time they will have winning state. I haven't heard anybody talk about one of the D2 teams winning state, or even being predicted since early. Hey I hope Burton does win the state, and if they beat Clintwood, at least we are beaten by a state championship caliber team. If we were to somehow beat them, and they won state, hey we beat a state championship-caliber team, even better.
I'll agree that Ironlung went a bit overboard, but to his credit, he doesn't hide anything, and he is generally IMO respected on the board because there is no snipeing from him. Outside of your UTVol name, you show or have shown or claimed no support to anybody ( and I don't think you have made a comment about them even *lol*), I looked back, I think you have made less than double digit posts that wasn't a dig or an attack on Clintwood, and for again for someone who has no ties, you sure do seem to know an awful lot about them. Its easy to sit here and attack and be anonymous isn't it.
Go ahead and talk about me and a bias, I admit my bias. That being said, I dont believe you'll find me snipeing Norton, I try to be pretty complimentary about most teams. I'm a lot more prone to gripe about fans than I am teams.
well, this really is getting ridiculous and pointless. I tried to lighten it up quickly but thats obviously not going to happen. I will say this, besides one quarterback who was a coaches son who will remain nameless who i will not say called me a POS little [censored] after me drilling him my junior year. i have never had a problem with anyone at all from clintwood, players fans or anything. they were the classiest bunch i have ever played against in football. without a doubt no questions asked. fans who will say good game to you as you are going back to the bus and players who you can tell are sincere in saying good game and congratulating you on a good game are few and far between. i always enjoyed playing them. (except when honaker reffed)
i'll have to agree with Dawgface on this one
i've always respected the Greenwave program, never had any issues with them, and as he said, great fans, and players
me and duran always had our mouths goin on the field at each other, but after the game was over, we would talk like nothing happened, just part of the game..
and i remember walkin off the field and the fans would always say nice things to you, never seen anything "bad" go down over there
Dawgface, lots of people from Clintwood probably said worse about him at times [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Its not a particular thing, I guess I'm just tired of seeing people afraid to post an opinion, be it a bit smart or completely classy for things attempted to be turned around. Like Burrhead said, last week nobody from GC or PV hardly posted and in normal years, that game is a pick-fest but the programs, as much as they like giving it to each other, had to have mutual respect. We've gotten away from being able to give and take a bit of good natured or even not so good natured ribbing. To quote Robert D. Rayford (or however his name is spelled), we're the United States of the Offended.
One reason for the lack on the PV / GC threads. GC is glad to be moving on.
Notice you had very little comments from any GC posters.
I know some will be glad to see GC exit the LPD. One reason they just can't compete with them at all.
But if you look at the one's who post and make good post you have had none almost all year from the GC faithful.
Who usually add insightful post.
There is a few that still post here like GC1 a good fellar and a few others but many have exited.
Observer77, broady, GC Quincy, WildBill etc etc.
As far as this with CW and Burton. Guess we will see come Friday night.
Like i would say. Come Friday night. I am a Dawg i hope we go to GC and take care of business. And i am sure those from GC feel the same way. They hope GC takes care of business and comes away with a W.
Hope it's a good game myself and in the end i hope we win.
I would like to see the new district post here next year I know Lebanon had a nice message board about 8 or 10 years ago if there posting has not changed then I am sure that those guys could add to the fourm
How do you know Gate City is happy to be moving on? I tell ya LPDFTBL, unless you've got a direct line to Gate City High, you shouldn't base your opinion on a few message board posters. From prior posts, they didn't want to leave the LPD. I don't want them to leave personally, and I'm sincere in this. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
