Are you kidding me, they have watered down there schedule. Did Corbin fill the 11th week game and if not why not Bell.

 

Obviously you have some problem with the coaching staff's decision not to play Bell. Either you are with the staff or you are against the staff, you can't support them when they win and talk poorly about them when Coach Jewell makes a decision for HIS team. Maybe that is what is bothering you, it is HIS team.

Thanks for the kind words UKCATSFAN. I have nothing but good things to say about Coach McGlone, the Devils, and all their fans I encountered. Definately a top notch and class program. I think you could be right about Corbin next year based on everything they are returning. You all will still be a very good team as well.

 

I think Corbin will be very prepared next season as they play a very good schedule. Sure it won't have Bell on it ( I wish to hades that it did) but it still has some fine teams. Dunbar, @ Belfry, Middlesboro, Leslie, NL, SL, Somerset. Those aren't your Kentucky School for the Blind type teams. Corbin will be very battle tested and prepared for the playoffs. I know a lot of us don't always agree with every play call by Coach Jewell and Coach Farris, but we all can agree that we have them prepared when it gets down to the nitty gritty. Obviously, the Hounds don't win every playoff game but it's not because they had no business being there. Every playoff game that Corbin lost minus the Breathitt game (sorry to bring that up TR), they were in over the past few years. Yes I think Corbin should have won the majority of those games but that's water under the bridge.

 

I have no doubt that this team will be hungry after underachieving for Corbin standards over the past 2 seasons. This will be one of Corbin's better teams in a while and you can bet the farm that Coach Jewell won't let them be cocky. They'll be a talented and confident bunch that will take it one game at a time.

very well put do you know if there playing east jess.

Thanks for the complement those compliments mean alot from a class act program as well who knows football. Good luck to Russell next year. Corbin will do just fine, no talks about winning it all yet that has to be in the sights. Since some "fans" want to criticize the schedule that we have don't want to start anything and go in to the game by game.

The math man likes you don't he.

As a supporter of the Corbin program, I'd like this to be heard loud and clear: This is NOT Steve Jewells team, this is CORBINS team, period. It belongs to a community deeply rooted in football tradition, and Corbin football will exist long after Steve Jewell is no longer coach. Coach Jewell was put there to continue to build the tradition that is Corbin football. He is NOT Corbin football, and this is NOT "his" team. That train of thought is very much his problem.

 

Living in this town are several ex coaches, former players, fans, ect. who paid the price to build the Corbin program into a yearly 2A contender. This was happening before Steve Jewell was in Corbin, and probably before he was born. Very much a part of the tradition are the rivals we play. Among them, Middlesboro, South Laurel (in recent years), and of course the biggest, Bell County. Most of the community, at some point in history, are directly involved in these rivalries either by playing, cheering, or simply coming out to support the team. Other than a few posters from Corbin on here, I cannot find a Corbin fan who supports the decison to drop Bell. By dropping this rivalry Steve Jewell is throwing away 50 years worth of blood, sweat and tears from thousands of Corbin Alumni. The Coach wasn't thinking about those folks when he dropped Bell, he was only thinking about himself and how Dudley has been smacking him around in the last few meetings. I would venture to say thats the main reason people like Coach T and the Math Man are so upset. Jewell is not preserving the proud tradition of Corbin by dropping the #1 rival we have.

 

Talk to any Redhound fan in this town, Bell County is a game the players AND entire town looks forward to each year. If you could have looked down main street the week before the Bell game last year, you would have seen several businesses whose windows were clad in Redhound spirit, with red and white paw prints all around. Steve Jewell took an exciting part of Redhound football away from this community. While we will go on supporting these kids, and this program. We do not have to agree with everything the Coach does, simply because the team really does not belong to him, it belongs to this town, and those who helped build it. If we stay quiet when bad things happen to the program, then we too are responsible for the programs suffering just as much as Coach Jewell.

If you think that coach jewell has the mind set that this is HIS team, you are badly mistaken. He knows that this team was made by the town and the town made by the team. If you have ever listened to him he will tell his players that they are representing this community, the redhound jersey, and the Rich Pride and Tradition that Corbin has. He doesn't say go out and represent Coach Jewell or Coach Farris etc. He knows what made Corbin football what it is today and he was a part of that. Corbin will be fine next year.

The math man likes you don't he.

Hey man i wouldnt have it any other way.:ylsuper:

By the way just doin some math corbin bell hasn't been a rivalry for 50 years bell hasnt been a consolodated school that long.

Am i right math man?

Corbin will be fine next year, no one said they would not be fine. He has yet another state championship caliber team on his hands. This has nothing to do with how the team will do next year.

 

This is about a coach who dropped his teams best rivalry game, without thinking of shame he brought to the Corbin team, and Corbin community.

 

I'm aware that he was a part of what made the Corbin football tradition, but sometimes I wonder if he fell asleep during the lessons. Corbin football "today" is not the same Corbin football that made it famous. We don't dominate the area like we used to. I'd like to see us restake our claim as Southeast Kentucky's premier football program, but dropping Bell County was not a step in that direction.

I don't know about you, but to me beating or playing bell co. every year because it is a rivalry is not the goal in mind. The goal in mind is to Win a State Title.

Using your logic, I guess all the predistrict games we play are a waste of time. Maybe Coach needs to cancel all the out of district games since they are not in line with the goal in mind. They may seem unimportant to you, but we've only won 1 out of the last 9. Thats important and alarming to me.

 

Ask any former Redhound what beating Bell County means to them. It means a great deal to them. Playing and beating Bell County is a big part of preparing for a run to Louisville. It is a tough early test, and it pays off down the road. A close loss to Bell would serve our team more lessons than blowing out Lex. Christian anyday.

 

This is about two great teams and 4 great quarters of the best Mountain Football you'll ever see. Its not about a state title, its about PRIDE. Do you know anything about that? I guess you really didn't care if you beat Bell or not, since it had nothing to do with a state title? :confused:

You've told us a thousand times on this board that you played for Corbin, and I know you worked just as any other Corbin athlete, but working hard and understanding things are two different objects. Anyone thinking that Corbin/Bell isn't very important, doesn't know what Corbin football is about.
