[Old School Hound]

This thread is dedicated to a lot of people. In particular, a lot of old farts who thought they knew what's best for Corbin football when, in fact, they didn't know sh!t from apple butter. In other words , four decades of good ol' boys and gals, whose decisions and actions have left Corbin wandering in the championship title wilderness for forty years.  Complicit among this hodgepodge of  self-delusioned, degenerate narcissists is the cabal of ego-driven brown-nosers and mental midgets who chased the best young coach in Kentucky out of town, with reckless disregard for the consequences.  There is really no other reasonable explanation for why a program like Corbin has gone more than half of a human being's average life expectancy without winning a single varsity state championship, other than the fact that a lot of adults who think they are smart, but aren't, have gotten in the way of that ultimate level of success.

I have really enjoyed watching the kids play this year. They are super-talented and relentless in their drive and determination to be the best they can be. I'm hoping they get the trophy that they so richly deserve.  If they come up short, the trophy will be hoisted ,yet again , by the team coached by a man who never wanted to leave Corbin, a man who all but begged for the opportunity to stay, only to be shown the door. "Super D" can take that "Straight A" report card , big bonus , and plaque he got from the Board puppets and, as the Rock would say, "shine it up real nice, turn that sum beech sideways and...  well, you know.

Anyway, hoping for the best for these Hounds. These kids deserve all the accolades of a state title win.  How long has it been since '82?  I'm glad you asked that question.

Here's  my first long-distance dedication to Corbin's good ol' boy club. This song went to #1 in 1982, just as the Hounds were marching their way to #1 in 2A football.


This one hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100  forty years ago for John Cougar(back before he added the Mellencamp to his name) :


"Oh, let it rock, let it roll
Let the Bible Belt come and save my soul
Holdin' on to sixteen as long as you can
Change is coming 'round real soon
Make us women and men... "
