me and my buddies raised a little cane back in the day during bball games
I wasn't a student at the time. And at the next game the official that had me thrown out came out of their dressing room as I came in and made a beeline for me and couldn't stop appologizing. I don't know if he had someone watching for me or if he just kept an eye out for me but I was told he had been told by someone after the game to be watching his back, I think it was my b-i-l that told him that. I think it was the LPD tourny actually so he new I would be back.
The Big Red Army is what made playing TS so intimidating I believe. We used to really raise it up there, it only lasted until about the time Dockery left. It has calmed down up there now.
But Ts's administration would shat out a squirrel if they saw a student gettin rowdy. It was pathetic.
I used to love standing behind the opposing team as they would warm up. Anytime any of them came near, we would let them have it. They could write a book of insults with some of the thigns I have heard TS fans say to opposing fans/refs.
ESP Steve Honaker, probably the reason he always blows calls against TS.
TS fans were mild compared to the few rednecks at North though. More numbers at TS, but better insults at North. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]
You ref basketball?
Mccrary tells stories about some of the fans/happenings over at North.
That man could write a best seller of anecdotes.
I had him fly out his chair and slam down the towel at the Cove one night. Definitely no reason a short fat white boy should gather in a backside rebound and go back up uncontested.
No, I don't have time for it. I barely get to make it to any games. I only went to 2 or 3 for the Cove last year. I think both TS games and the girls substate game.
Well its that time of year again:

Looks like I will have to take the misses and little one tomorrow to go cut and find our tree.
He rarely freaks out like that anymore. I've seen him get wilder in a classroom than he does coaching.
He told a story one time of this kid who was kinda like rudy that played for him. Everybody like the kid, but mccrary said he was a pompous prick. The game got outta hand, and the fans started cheering "we want johnny", "give us johnny" or whatever the kids name was. Mccrary called a timeout, and went over to the boy and sent him to sit in the stands with the people calling for him.
Funnier when he tells it i'm sure, probably due ot the way he cracks himself up and starts horse laughing.

That is funny. Hes a nice guy to talk to what little I have been around him. Its too bad someone hasn't had the cajones to do that to Chris Scott. Of course he's not sure now if he's a Titan or a Devil. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]
Lol chris..He was a titan during football season. Saw him patrolling up and down the sidelines lol...
You should have saw him at the Titans benefit game...He cracks me up
And Mccrary is a great guy to talk to. I think his personality is what makes him teh coach he is, b/c i personally hate his coaching.
Half Baked is still a damn funny movie.
When we (Kelly) had the foreign exchange student from Macedonia we played at Coeburn and every time he touched the ball the crazies yelled "USA, USA, USA."
Castlewood did the same thing when we had Marco Jovanovich.
And the whole time, they had a mexican on their team.
I remember talking to Filip and he told be that Brian Pate asked him if he could speak English, while lining up for a free throw, and Filip said "I know two words, F you."

As for McCrary, he's a hoot. I've had many good conversations with him since the mid 90s when Lee Clark started the series with North. I hung around Clark quite a bit and always had good conversations with McCrary when we would play North.
My wife went to North, had McCrary in a couple of classes. His blowups were legendary in Bloomingdale.
One of his favorite jokes would go something like this....
Mccrary - It's your guys lucky day. We aren't talking about government. Instead, NSSB i want you to tell us everything you know about "sax"(how he says sex)...
NSSB - Well I li....
Mccrary - Very good. Now let's learn about government...
I can't stand that freaking kid....complains about everything from your mom to mcdconalds. Nothing is ever good enough for him. I wish he would go back to Macedonia.
So I'm reading an article in the Roanoke Times. Every year at this time they have a daily feature on the Good Neighbors Fund, so people who donate to the fund know what their money is going to.
There was this quote in today's feature:
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Richardson receives $154 a month in food stamps, the children are on Medicaid and the family has a Section 8 housing subsidy. Otherwise, aside from four months she spent on Temporary Aid to Needy Families after the birth of her second child, they receive no public assistance.
</div></div>
No public assistance? What do they think food stamps, medicaid and section 8 are? Food, healthcare, and housing - that's a pretty significant amount of assistance.
Not holding that quote against the program or anything, because it is a good program, but it's just a dumb quote.

That one is definitely true, I was shooting the free throw. Funny as hell haha. The craziest game that I played in was my freshman year against Kelly @ Coeburn. Five people got tossed I believe.. and then we made some crazy comeback and won. I miss playing JJ Kelly.
Never buy a 4-wheel drive with a push button 4-wheel. It will pick the worst times to take a couple of days off.

I've worried about mine since I bought it. Only once has it failed to engage and that was after not using it for a year. I tried it a day later and it engaged.
Do they even make a vehicle with the shifter on the floor anymore? I haven't been in a Dodge in a long time, so I can't remember what they use. I know most Fords have the dial on the dash.

Thats the problem these days, its hard to even find a truck that has a stick unless you special order it. I hate automatics.

I try to kick my 4-wheel in daily, just for a few hundred yards. But right on time, during the last little snow, it decided to stop working. However , so did the HVAC controls, so it was a vacuum problem- finding and changing to hose that was leaking took about an hour. Some companies make a kit to change from vac to a small cable on this model Blazer. Tempting, but I hate to part with 200 bucks.
The ford rangers used to be really bad for that. An ASE service technician at ford told me the biggest reason for that was because the solenoid that engages the 4WD pulls too many amps for the breaker that is dedicated to it. Finally got tired of it and bought an S10, now I have no problem.
I usually buy older vehicles to drive to work, this one is an s-10 blazer . I've had as much trouble from it in 18 months as anything I ever owned. This will be my last GM in all likeyhood. The SUV before was a Pathfinder, paid 3400 bucks for it and drove it to work for 5 years, should have bought an engine and kept it, I guess.

had it got the 2.8?
Yeah shooter its sort of sad. I about wish I had bought the wife a stick Escape I found new a couple of years ago. It was nice and you get a little better mileage out of a manual transmission.
Most of the carriers I work with have an S-10 Blazer or pick-up. We're talking tens of thousands of miles between us in a year. Other than normal maintenance issues, we've had pretty good service out of them. There's nothing tougher on a vehicle than a mail route.
I prefer Blazers from 96-2003. If mine blew up tomorrow, I really couldn't complain. 175,000 mail route miles probably equals 900,000 normal driving miles.
my blazer was an 87. It had the 2.8 in it. about the only issue I had was had to replace the engine once. I think I had almost 200,000 when I traded it in for a 97 Explorer. I gotta say the explorer doesn't hold a candle to the Blazer for getting around in bad weather. Oh yeah, the old Blazers had a rust problem around the wheel well and rocker pannel's.
4. something V-6. 1999. I just get tired of the same stuff- window motor, rear hatch quit opening , 2 vacuum hoses, 2 winters in a row. Perhaps I got a lemon.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Spuds</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> rear hatch quit opening </div></div>
Mine is a 2000 and the button on the back stopped working about 2.5 years after I bought it (sometime in 05).
