Durn, is Cotton Robinson back?  Congrats to the Cougars.

 

From the little I read in the article, this sounds like a great book, about a great man.

This is the hidden content, please

Great read, King Cotton gives some insight into how some of the better programs in East Texas got their roots.

I know that dad use to go spend a lot of time talking with Cotton Robinson and also Clemit Hyden about Basketball! Back in the day you would go to those who knew and gain information from them. Im almost positive that the shuffle move by the post man came from those two also. Deadly move to the Basket by hooking your defensive player with either foot and laying the ball at your feet and skipping to the bucket for the easy two points!!  Great article REBgp!

Thanks a lot chuk!  Every time someone mentions King Cotton, I get on iBooks again, only to find out they still don’t have it available.  What is wrong with these people?!?!

I saw it on Amazon.  Paperback at $21.95.  Didn't say, but I assume it's printed on gold leaf for that price :)

Searched on my Kindle to no avail.  Not sure if Kindle search is same as iBooks.  That's past my technology level, as are most things today.  A massive conspiracy to make old people senile - as if I can't do that myself :)

      4A D2 State Final Bellville vs Gilmer

      By blackflag · Posted

      That was an awesome video!  I feel so proud of these young men.  They proved the doubters wrong.  Bellville should be proud, too.  I know it didn't end like they had hoped, but we've been there, so we can definitely empathize with them.  Great season, Brahmas!

      Meh.. Everyone knows this. The kid that got injured wasn't lifting weights. Supposedly he was hit with a helmet in his elbow. In my opinion the kid shouldn't have been put in that situation. AD should've told the Varsity baseball players to sit that one out. I have no issues with the lifting or conditioning. However, anytime helmets/pads are on there is a higher risk of injury. This AD showed a total lack of respect for HIS baseball program.

      What has happened to Jasper?

      By oldschool2 · Posted

      Maybe.. however..  Many athletic director / head football coach have lost their job despite the athletic program as a whole being successful.. if the football team struggles.  On the other hand, when football teams are doing great but the rest of the program stinks.. AD/HFC still keeps their job. WOS.  Newton. .. programs as a whole were fairly weak during those many years of football power and very few people even knew it.  Or cared. Yet, AD/HFC kept their jobs for years. Meanwhile, I remember an AD/HFC at Barbers Hill lost his job after every program in the school won district championships and even had several team sports (baseball, softball, girls hoops, etc.) making runs at state.  But the football team was mediocre.  Fired. I'm not saying you're wrong, just that perception is reality.  And the perception is that your athletic program can suck as long as football wins.. it doesn't matter how strong the athletic program is if football sucks.
