This is where it gets good. No one

I've been reading Dr. Henry's response to the ad in the Greeneville Sun by the alumni players and Coach C's subsequent response. I was thinking about this whole thing and then... Poof! It hit me square in the face. So, if you don't mind, I'd like to take you on a little journey. Please feel free to leave your comments to this article if you feel I am off base here.
