[Mr. Right]

What don't you all say what you really mean? The team went 7-3 and made it to the playoffs. I think they did a heck of a job recruiting, and they had two sign free agent deals in the NFL. I don't think they would have had the team they had just recruiting the area. Plus who do you give a scholarship to? I guy that runs a 4.4 forty and is 6'3" 225 or a local kid. Well if "thuggish" is what you all want to call it, than fine. But I know a lot of those "thugs" now have degrees, only by getting a football scholarship. By the way Belfry leads this category of quitting college football.

One was a guy who couldn't make the grades at N.C. State, flunked out of a JUCO school, but yet he makes the grade at Pikeville College.

One was a guy who couldn't make the grades at Ohio State, then Campbellsville rejected him, but yet he makes the grade at Pikeville College.

I know kids that go to Pikeville College, and a few who are on the football team. I hear the stories of the things that these fine, outstanding young men do. From smoking pot on the bus trip to Pikeville high school's field, to cussing out the coaches during practice, to never going to class, yet they still get on the field because of the win at all cost attitudes of the coaching staff.

Personally, I'd rather go 1-9 as a coach than have half of those guys on my football team. As a fan, I'd rather pay to see local kids go 5-5 than to watch a talent-loaded bunch of menaces to society go 7-3. Until the administration hires football coaches that emphasize class, education, moral values, and grades over winning I will not support them. And until they do I hope Georgetown kicks their ass every year.

As far as Belfry kids quitting. Yeah, I wish they would stick it out because they verbally committed to going to school there. But they come from one of the classiest high school programs in the state, and I probably wouldn't want to be around all that trash either after seeing how a program should be ran.

Oh yeah, show me the graduation record for all Pikeville College football players. I'd be willing to bet that under 10% graduated and probably most of those received degrees from other schools.
