That was the only one and it was the injury. The other was never considered.
To each their own I guess. I have no idea about the Appy situation and could really care less. I was curious if 18 would be back from his injury. When I played, if a kid quit, he was done for good. I guess a coach has to judge each instance on it's own merits though. Each case is different. My feelings are, if a player abandons CW (like some have done this year) I don't think we want them back or need them back.

That's the way it should be, imo. You could tell though that he (18) couldn't do much.

So you're telling me Tom Turner would have allowed someone to quit, then return to the team once they made the playoffs? </div></div>
Well, he did, I know that for sure. </div></div>
Well I just lost a metric [censored] load of respect for Turner. </div></div>
Oh no, the entire town won't be able.....well nobody really cares what anyone else thinks.

I'll take your word for it. But those 3 hours didn't seem to do anything for them. And who's fault is that? Yup, the coaches.

They didn't look like a fish out of water when they used the split back 2 WR offense against the Cove and won 44-0. Yes, I realize it was the Cove but it still proves they can play in some other formation. Only problem with that was they decided to use it again against Gate City the next week. They quickly tucked tail and ran back to the T. But the split back didn't fail because they couldn't run it. It failed because Gate City out coached it. Those boys could be coached to play whatever the coaches wanted them to, if the coaches could do it. I'm not comparing Austin to Turner, that's not fair. But I will say his results speak for themselves. 9-3 his first year with a team another coach built. 6-5 the next season with almost the same squad. Just wait until next season and see. And if next season doesn't convince you, maybe 2009 will. Like I said, Austin may be a really nice guy. He just can't coach very well.

Appy is loseing ALOT of kids to Graduation I THINK Appy will be Very young next season and would be a tough situation for any coach
That's the way it was when I was there too spuds!
free like OJ all day
I think we lose 10 or 11 seniors this year...it's a big hit on the program considering 6 of them have started since they were freshmen. But with only one Junior on the team this year...they should have a rebuilding year and we might see a good ball club in the next few years.
If they're losing 10-11, I hope they have a pretty good sized freshmen class coming in. I think there were only 23 dressed. Losing that many will hurt any program.

Size...it is one of the reasons for that "T". We had 3 kids over 200 pounds, I do think we were the smallest team I saw this year. You have 2 linemen coming back.
