All this talk of the search for a new football coach got me thinking. A football coach ain't all this school is missing.
Every great team is represented by a symbol that is identifiable to all who see it.Western Kentucky University is known as the Hilltoppers. Their mascot has received nation wide fame over the past few years. Numerous commercials on national television. Great exposure for a rather unknown small university located in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Teams are recognized for their mascot, or mascots. Heck, UK has two. The famous Wildcat, and fun and goofy Scratch. USC has the Trojan Horse, Notre Dame has the Leperchaun and so on and so on.High school sports teams don't always showcase their beloved mascots. It is very rare in this day and age. It's time for change!
Those who have followed the Pats for years probably remember the good ole days when their mascot attented every football game. The majestic white horse galloping down the hill onto the track (which ironically is now in such bad condition a horse could not eat off of it) bring school spirit and pride to all. People from afar wondering who or what could being jockeying this creature of freedom, fans chanting, yankee doodle went to town being blasted (heard at least ten feet from the bleachers) by the band. All this in anticipation of the PATRIOT. The one and only mascot of Lincoln County High School. Who was behind the mask, the mystery is unknown; unless you were a member of the FCA or took Physics at LCHS or looked real closely at the man on the horse.
It didn't matter who the man on the horse was, or if this story is true. Mascots are cool, and entertaining to kids and wives who pay no attention to the game. Mascots are for all the people watchers out there, who need something to do when the game gets boring. We all know one or two.
SARCASM, some get it. Some don't

It was Bruce "poop" Schute wasn't it?
LOL
"poop"
what does that mean
You take it however you want. If you can't figure out what "poop" means you might need to join forces with KM Man and you might be able to figure it out.
Personally, I have never seen a man with a middle name poop
This mascot thing is gay, no wonder Kings Mountain Man makes fun of you.
I'll tell you who the patriot should be. Bradley McClaren. Freedom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this really would be cool. bring him back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Instead of a Patriot on a white horse, how about Mike Goodwin on his 4-wheeler. It would be alot more intimidating to the other team. I can see him riding circles around them now as they lay on the Death Valley turf and stretch before the game. Tell him he can even put a "Hillary 08" sticker on his Honda and he may consider taking the job.
That would be nice, Mike riding a wheelie down the track with that big flag flapping behind him.
Awesome!! Forget the Bilary sticker though, they might think were soft with that on there.
No Bilary, no Goodwin. I'm afraid it's a package deal. :-(
dont think Mikes big belly is good for riding wheelies. how bout jamye phillips in his rasslin outfit. that would be intimidating.
anyone who would vote for Hillary does not deserve to be mentioned on this site. no carpet eaters allowed.
The comment directly above could be the best ever. Hillary sucks. I'd much rather have Osama Obama (hate to see that happen as well). If Hillary lived in Central Ky, she'd be a Boyle Co fan and Osama Obama would be a Danville fan, of course.
If you guys want me to start a political website I will....I (being a diplomat of course) will have to remain the true independent.
But let's get back on track, how about Buckwheat posing like the old school patriot in the 3-point stance for our new logo???
McCain would be a Ft Logan fan. Or maybe a fan of the Senior Citizen center out by Dix River.
I think we should let "doodlebug" be the mascot. Didn't any of you see Morgan Freeman in the movie "Glory"?
I think mrs. Lewis should be the mascot.
DIS got to be the corniest bull i ever seen
you are so gangsta white barn i bet those hard streets of LC got you grippin hard.
grippin, nah
ain't even from there. just heard bout dis site from that dope site ckysports
First warning white barn. I will delete everything you post if you keep this up. ADMIN STYLE BABY
Take the trash off her Hazmit..we dont need whitebarn
is it whitebarn or whitetrash
I got one. How about Debra Watts riding around the track in an ice cream truck. While Dick from Garrad County shoots of a muzzle loader while simultaneously funneling a half case. Meanwhile "cheesypoof" does the infamous start the lawnmower fart, and Stan from Killarney wishes Alex a happy birthday over the P.A. system. Finally Chris Gosser leads the Standing Ford Dud missiles out onto the field and runs into the goal post and breaks his glasses for the fifteenth time. Glad you all got to hear from me. P.S. Somebody ask Whitebarn if he has a pair of those Reeboks with the straps.
You already know KMM. I gots da ones without the straps and an extensive collection of dem Air Force Ones.
Sorry I have been out of town for a while, but we all know that Hillary would be a fan of Boyle girls. Who would be on top her or Mason? Web sites with more hits than this would pay for that footage.
Mason is at Danville
You know what. That damn old school patriot looks a lot like Sammy Burke from the county. You want to talk about a football player. Sammy Burke was the defensive captain for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and a second team all american as a corner back. By the way while he held that title his team played in the Rose Bowl that year. Talk about being there and done that. I have played countless rounds with him and he has never said a word about it. 3000 times the player Kelvin Givens was.
I remember when I was at LCHS and we had that mascot there for a little while "bubble gum McTooth" and at half everyone used to chant "throw in the beef, throw in the beef!!!" and some kids even made shirts that had rambo on them. I always thought that was so awesome. They should do that again.
OMG!!! its funny you say that, I posted throw in the beef on another thread. Everyone used to get so pumped when they did that. Remember the back of the Rambo shirts they put "its bubble or nuttin".
