seriously. There's no need for name calling. Just argue your points. If you can't defend your points, fold the cards. Someone your age and from such an illustrious high school should be able to do better.

Heck you are the one that started the finger pointing. I slammed you with facts and you freaked. Then you brought Daniel Boone in the picture and nobody has any idea what you are talking about there. Then, you rate sullivan county high school kids! It is like you are a prom queen drama. Best of all; you refuse to tell us your school. :salute:

and through a couple of different jobs I've had in UET, i've had to deal with many high school kids. From Sullivan, Carter and Washington counties, occasionally even Greene. I've learned a great deal about all of them. It is amazing how different the kids from each high school can be.

What exactly do you do?

I'll even admit that I can see kids from Boone and realize a lot of their misconceptions I had while I was there. going to Milligan and Old Dominion for my degrees has changed me a lot. And I would think for the better.

However, my years at Milligan and ODU did nothing to change my opinion of peyton manning kpt. Sorry

I was saving the Manning thing for an example of the bias.

I've worked for a tv station, covered city committee stuff for both JC and Kingsport, helped with charity organizations, and even spent time in the retail world in kingsport just to help get me through school.

Soooo. Is any of that education-related?

tv dealt with the schools. charity dealt with volunteers from the schools. DB, South and North would always have to show up at a KPT city meeting and listen in. Just their mannerisms and levels of professionalism was evident there. Also seeing how they behave in stores taught me a lot.

How exactly are you watching these kids in stores and noticing that the jackasses happen to be from D-B?

wearing DB shirts and jackets kind of gives it away. We had nowhere near the amount of high school apparel I've noticed the past 5 years.

but you could see in the attitudes when they would show up to "volunteer". What schools would come in and actually do stuff, what schools wouldn't.

You could see it in the city meetings in what schools would give respect to the councilmen, what schools wouldn't. Most South kids would leave 5 minutes into the meetings. We would air them on TV and I guess that was good enough. DB kids would at least stay. Even though they'd usually talk the entire time through it.

So peyton Manning and Kpt go hand in hand? Wow. I guess you going working retail,at "a tv station", city committtees, charities, and knowing that you like North and central students the best gave you secret classified info on the inside of the DB vs South game? You think some kid you might know from DB or South has good info? Especially South? Fact is as I have said before, I know the people who communicate directly; you know some kid that knows somebody, that knows somebody, and their daddy said. You think that DB wanted to give up all that money after many, many butt whoopins put on South. Remember in 2006, after the DB Varsity killed South 44-0, it was South that called and said forget about the underclassman games and left DB high and dry. That really sounds like a South that was trying hard to play DB in 2007

No problem. I still have a hard time believing you worked somewhere that let you see a sizeable portion of the student body from D-B, South, Central, and North. If you worked at Wal-Mart, maybe. But hell, every school has its rednecks, D-B included. But the vast majority of those kids are the kind you'd want representing your school/town/whatever. There's a reason D-B has been consistently good at football for so long. We don't have some strange abundance of talent. The kids and coaches work really hard and are disciplined.

maybe the quality of everyone in the area is declining. I will say this, my year and a half in virginia beach and norfolk, i also worked with kids. However, on a middle school level. We were working with them to get them excited about exercise and not just playing video games all day. Those kids were amazingly cooperative and very easy to talk to and deal with.

no, the manning thing is overhead, before your time. And for the record, I also know people in the know. I didn't hear it from some kid who heard it from someone else.

How did you know they were D-B kids at these meetings? Were they wearing school gear, or were they sitting in a special area for their school?

you'd be surprised. While Kingsport has grown by leaps and bounds over the past few years, it's still just now getting any noteworthy size. Up until two years ago, there were only so many places you could go to in Kingsport.
