sixcat 2,919 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Given the weather we have had down this way, speed wont be a factor. The field conditions will dictate how the game is played. Deleted Account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC_Quincy 582 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Hmmm...it's a wonder that we've been so successful over the years with no athletes. Roba22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat Bob 491 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Well now I am a believer. Exactly how many of those Buckingham "athletes" will we see on TV next year? I would like to follow their careers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiltonian 11 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 This guy from Buckingham is full of crap. I'm a native of GC and have lived in Central VA for much of the past decade. The only difference between the high school football teams in SWVA and the hole that exists between Richmond and Lynchburg is that our kids don't play in dumpy stadiums in front of 300 fans.

Canes00 434 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 this guy is a joke I mean you wait till you get ready to play Gate City to create a username and join this board and then you get on here and down gate city and act like Buckingham is world beaters one thing I do know about SWVA football when you travel to a stadium in SWVA from up the road you better be ready to battle its not going to come easy and anyone can talk big about there team over the computer.

BigO 316 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 And they also project Richlands by 3 over Marion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat Bob 491 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I remember seeing Buckingham in the basketball playoffs a few years ago. They might have brought 50 fans to the game. On another message board, their own fans routinely complain about how poorly they travel in support of their team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueRazor 1,147 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Somebody needs to print his statements about Gate City having only two athletes on the team and post them in the locker room. I'm sure a few of the " good ole boys" would love to just spew on that for a few days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkeyeDan 20 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I never said gate city didn't have any athletes. Never have I acted like we are world beaters. I'm only making a point that there is more athletes on the teams up this way. That don't guarantee victory week in week but honestly it helps. For example from a message received in a pm Gate City Lee you Scored Twice. Who Scored who won this game for ya. From won of your own I was told it was #7 your athlete.

Hiltonian 11 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 The unfounded arrogance amazes me. Beating the 2013 GC team as young as they were has no bearing on this year. That Buckingham team last year wouldn't have defeated any Gate City team from the 1990s or most of the 2000s for that matter. If you want to impress me, beat GC and then Marion or Richlands on the road this year. BlueRazor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiltonian 11 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I will also be impressed if Buckingham brings more than 100 people a few cheerleaders down I-81 for the game as well. I travel by Route 60 quite a bit between Richmond and Roanoke and it's just a full in the summer time as it is for a game it seems! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkeyeDan 20 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Can't compare teams from the 90s to the 2000s or 80s and 70s..... Not going off of last years teams either. I know Gate City is capable of winning this game. I just don't think it will happen. So go keep what if the 2000 team could beat the 90 what ever team. That's never fails to amaze me you talk that because those teams prob. Where better than current and more athletic. I'm just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canes00 434 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 If you think he's bad, you should read the stuff on Twitter..lol Posting that crap on social media comes back to burn most of the time a kid from abingdon a couple weeks ago was talking about Sam Wagner saying Sam didn't have nothing on him and then Sam ran over him in the 4th quarter and the kid got mad and acted like he was going to get him while Marion was huddling up.

Hiltonian 11 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I'll take a Sam Wagner over anyone on Buckingham if I were drafting players. I'm pretty sure I know what you really mean by saying "athletic" . You are basically saying that GC can't beat a team that is predominantly African-American. Well, Gretna said the same thing a few years ago and back in my day William Campbell said the same thing. I guarantee you GC is as in shape and athletic as any of the teams in Central VA I've watched over the years. BlueRazor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GC_Quincy 582 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 These are just a few of the gems so far...I'll post the better ones a little later. Buckingham could easily come to GC and win, but so could any team for that matter. Beating a team is one thing, disrespect is something else entirely. "It's one thing to talk about getting "revenge" it's another to find 11 guys to line up across from us and take it" "I'm tired of hearing about Gate City when we go all the way up there and get that W I don't wanna hear a word about them" "Who cares if they put up 70 on a 4-6 15th seeded team" "plus 4 starters on that team quit to play basketball and head coach got fired†they beat a JV team" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiltonian 11 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I agree as 5 state championships and 3 state runner-up teams from GC have shown, but it sounds like you are insinuating it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
