The Emory & Henry football family lost a pillar this weekend. His legacy will live on within each player and coach he impacted.

We are deeply saddened, and send our thoughts and prayers to the entire Newsome family.

[Virginia Tech Football @HokiesFB]

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Coach Curt Newsome.

A respected leader at Virginia Tech, James Madison, Emory & Henry & across Virginia high school football, Coach Newsome devoted his life to mentoring student-athletes & building championship programs.

We join his family, friends, former players & colleagues in remembering his life, legacy & impact.

Look what we got here... it's a box from southwest Virginia!

The Emory & Henry Wasps invented one of the COOLEST shifts in football... even Steve Spurrier used it!

Thank you Coach Hunter and @EmoryHenry_FB for this great box, STINGERS UP!

In the 90s, only 1 SEC team could do such a thing to poor Smokey.

So far this week:
Trump threatened to wipe out a civilization on Tuesday.
Announced a ceasefire on Wednesday.
Israel leveled parts of Beirut on Thursday.
Iran shut down the Strait of Hormuz, AGAIN.
Gulf states are still intercepting drones.

13 American service members are dead. Over 3,400 Iranians killed. 1,500 dead in Lebanon.

And this administration has the nerve to call this a win.

They light the world on fire and then take credit for calling the fire department.

37 years ago today, December 24, 1988, Harry Ellis walked in with full sleaze and absolutely no ability to read the room, then tried a negotiation technique that wouldn’t work at a mall kiosk. RIP.

No. 38 is Alijah Clark, an undrafted free agent on the #Cowboys, and this won Dallas the game. A+ effort.

Emory & Henry EDGE Ean Rhea is entering the portal, @thebizofathlete tells @SWiltfong_ and me.

Trump has never been a conservative, will never be a conservative, and has made the Republican Party weak and aimless. Conservatives should walk away from this guy, who constantly backs the worst establishment politicians while smearing those actually trying to make a difference.

Today, we say goodbye to Garth "Honey Boy" Hudson. A true genius who helped shape The Band’s sound. Rest in peace, Garth.
