It is with great sadness I let all know who remember Rex Tuttle from his many posts and information particularly on the Linton Football Program. King Tut was his handle, and he was born in 1931, and had an incredible memory that provided many stories from years well gone from most minds today. Rex graduated Linton in 1949, and while he didn't play football, he was in band, and the band travelled to most games. He could recollect so many iconic Linton games, good and bad, with such clear vision. I'd interviewed him a few times in my Linton radio broadcasts, in particular the Sullivan rivalry because he was really the source in so many ways. With Rader Media, Kevin had done an video stream session with him that was timeless. I begged him to get a cassette recorder and just record his memories for posterity and history sake. So many others said the same thing. I saved a lot of things he posted from his time here just because there would never be another source for such things. He had to stop going to games in person bein well in his 90's but he always checked in online in our broadcasts. He always posted about Linton sports on his Facebook page, honestly right up to Linton's loss in basketball semi-state in Late March of this year. He even posted videos of himself playing his beloved trumpet, and could still do it well. I hadn't seen Rex in person in a while, but still regarded him as a friend and of course a die-hard loyal Linton Miner fan of every sport. We lost such a great mind, and a great person. I will miss his insight and comments during the seasons...particularly football.

we have been blessed with the type of kids that put the effort in year in and year out. Coaches as well. Earning state wide respect was always a goal of Miner Football.

How does the head basketball coach leaving have anything to do with the football program though?? Didn't Paoli just hire a new head football coach??

He got mad a few times when I said Liptons but someone explained the Donnie thing and we had fun with it, at least I did. He was one of the first posters I remember when I joined in 2009. He was already a legend. RIP King Tut✌️💙

From Mitchell's website: "MCS athletics would like to welcome our new head football coach, Mr. Bobby Owens. Coach Owens has been the DC at North Daviess the past several seasons & will begin in the weight room Monday after school. Spring limited contact practices begin April 6th #MitchellPride #GoJackets"

I somehow doubt that.

I would think Glenn will be announced soon. I keep hearing they have found their guy. No idea who it is or if they have released anything on it yet.

132 days until kick off. As a 50+ year old man, and the only tie to the school I follow is that it is where I graduated from, I still get excited as a kid on christmas day for the High school season. I'm already ready already for High School Football.
