Thank you for the kind words and the feedback. We really want to do a good job for our listeners. We value them. We value their time. We also appreciate people who love KY HS Football. If our answers are not honest, no reason to listen. Also, our answers must be fair. No exploitation or throwing someone under the bus. Our approach to the podcast is the same as when we coach our teams. We want to make it the absolute best it can possibly be. From 1969 through 2019, the head football coach at Boyle County HS was either my Dad or someone from his coaching tree, for all but 3 years (1989-1991). That is 48 out of 51 seasons. While Chuck and I certainly will disagree on some things, that type of culture, consistency, philosophy, commitment to excellence and longevity show up often on our episodes. It is one of those things that can be tough to pinpoint, but I believe that feature makes our podcast unique, and gives it the potential to be exceptional. Eat your Wheaties because we are fired up for the long haul! 😎 🎤 🏈

The Guru thinks of everything. That is why HE is THEGURU. 😎

🏈 Thanksgiving Episode: Kurt Hines 🦃

Went to Phil Simm's Camp w/ some great guys from Bath County, summer of 1981... Charlie Kissick, John Lyons and Juan Armitage. We practiced football all day and chased girls(Girls State at MSU) after practice in the evenings. Good grief we had fun back in those days. Juan had a girlfriend back home so he wouldn't go with us. Lol When I was at Paris in the late 80's and early 90's, Gary Ramey had some good football teams. We got them in the region championship, 15-0, on top of that hill. Freezing. 1989.

I know of one excellent young assistant that is prepping materials to apply. Would be a great hire. When I was an assistant at Paris, we had a dang track meet down there one night to open the season. 1989. Beautiful place for a football game. The mountains of eastern KY are special and the brand of football played in the mountains is top notch.

Season 2: Episode 15 Thanksgiving 7:30 EST 4:30 PST Guest Coach: Kurt Hines of Coronado HS (CA) How does a guy get 70,000 followers on Twitter? Boyd Epley The World Is Flat Coaching Against Your Son Be inspired! I had to brag on Chuck Smith, he won't say a word. Listener Question: Keegan Kendrick Tough Topic: Brennin Hazlett Semifinal Predictions: All 12 Games (we agreed on at least one game in each class... except for one... which class... who was right....who was wrong... we find out Friday Night!)

We had a blast recording this episode. And, he may not want to admit it, but Coach Hines... he is one of us! The Coaches Office: Behind the Scenes of HS w/ Chuck Smith & David Buchanan Thanksgiving 7:30 pm EST / 4:30 pm PST

Mike Bowlin is an awful good football coach... and an even better man and friend. He has had alot on his plate the last few years. He always put the kids first and never made excuses. I am a big fan of Coach Bowlin and if he ever wants to be a Bearcat, we would welcome him with open arms.
