futfan Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 It has been ten years (15th) since Carl's passing, but every time I drive into the lot for a game, he always appears in my thoughts. Pulling out after the Carthage game had me nervous, as it was even more crowded than that fateful night. I miss our interactions... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futfan Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 One of his last posts. Talking smack and still being classy!

Anyways it should be an enjoyable game for the visitor side and hopefully PG will walk away injury free and live to play another week. j/k Good luck to the Hawks but hopefully just a little better luck for LE... either way I think both make the playoffs. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jubilant Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Carl was known as LEDad on the Downlow. He was quite the character. Man time sure passes quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShadowKnows Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 He was a good guy and when I read the headline to the post....I thought of this scene in star wars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomuser Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Wow, has it really been 10 years? I was a reader only for years on here before I started an account and posted. But I remember him because I’m a good friend of Brian Brown and Drew Norwood who were coaching at L-E at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PG's overflow parking is across the street from the school.. he was crossing the street when a truck hit them. He saved his daughter as she only ended up suffering a broken leg. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackflag79 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I miss him, too. He was always there to watch his son play, and we would meet up every time we played L-E. The first time we met was when he and his daughter drove to Rose Stadium in Tyler to watch Gilmer play in the Classic on a Thursday night. They sat with my family for a good portion of that game. I only met his son briefly after a game in Gilmer. He was certainly good people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often confuse the year of graduation with the year of football seasons with both my boys. Going to be a large crowd from PG at the game, they allocated 1300 tickets for the Hawks, and folks are wondering if they will be able to go.

Did the same thing when Arkansas High and Texas High have played at our stadium. Our visitor side is small just like PG's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
