One of the highlights of my summer in middle school. A little disappointed they rebranded. How involved is Joe Dean Jr these days?

Had no idea it was even still around these days. That sucks that it’s done.

That was one of the most fun weekends of my life in high school.

ETA: I think I went in either ‘94 or ‘95.

Heck, that will trigger people as well.

To lynch is to hang. Another saying for hanging someone is "Stringing them up." How can they rename something they perceive as racist with something that is arguably even more racist?

My brother attended the DBC around 1977. He still talks about a motivational speech by Dale Brown as every kid was ready to run through a brick wall.

Soft.

They probably wont even let you call the group designated at camp as the "ABA", the "GayBA" anymore.

Softest and lamest camp ever.

Pistol Pete’s in Clearwater was the one.
A heavy dose of Pete’s Ego, dribbling drills, religion, Press stomping around grouchy and diatribes about fast food. And no salt or sugar.

Take that string music.

Is it still owned by the same family of the 2000s?

How has the term, "Ole Miss" not gotten canceled? It is the term for a slave owner's wife.

Man I have some great memories from that place playing on a carpeted court with zero air conditioning.

Must have smelled like absolute shite but we were kids so we didn’t care.

Think I still have brush burns from that court. Such a fun time though. Water balloon wars. leaning up garbage cans of water on doors, knocking and running away. Doing tours for it.

The level of coaching wasn't anything special, you just played so much basketball, you got better.

Absolutely.. Dixie = old time South which is automatically racist nowadays.

I think Oxford would burn down if they ever changed from the rebels.
