Ryan4VT 4,550 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Showdown at Ernie. One team has a QB with 41 TD passes. One team has a RB with 41 rushing TDs. Two completely different styles of offense. Just like the Abingdon game, I think this one comes down to defense. And I'll not bet against the Richlands defense anytime soon. I'll also be interested to see how Blankenship looks this week after sitting out last night to rest that ankle sprain a little more. Thoughts?

LegendatLegion 109 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 I am sure Richlands got a good look at Buckingham last year in the GC game. They had a really good size line and Ragland just stands up and sneaks around behind the line and looks for an opening to try and break one. The line didn't fire off the ball, they just kinda stand up. It was odd. They were pretty athletic and VERY VERY cocky/chippy. I don't expect Richlands to have very much of a problem unless they have a bunch of turnovers. This time of year you have to come to play but Richlands is the better team.

Yep......I'll not bet against that D either. especially against a running team ! Richlands makes an emphatic statement at Ernie. Richlands - 41 Buckingham - 10 I like the way you think !! I can NOT wait to see this one. Lay it on em Blues! I can't wait either and I sure hope we do ! I would love for us to make a big statement here, but i will be more than happy with a 1 point win!

old_school_blue 247 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Will this be a Friday night game or will Buckingham want a Saturday game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,550 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Balls in their court. We told them if they will play Friday night, we will move it to 7pm. They get to decide though. We will know Monday. Seems more logical to me to leave school at 12 and come down and play and get home late as opposed to leaving Buckingham at 7am to get to Richlands for a 1:30 kick. But that's just me.

sup_rbeast 296 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 It seems more reasonable to me for Buckingham to leave after school on Friday and get a hotel near Abingdon/Bristol for Friday night. Get 'em in bed by 1030-1100, get 'em up round 9 on Saturday morning. Then feed 'em breakfast, and head to Richlands for a 1-2 PM start.

One of their fans on Preps said that staying in a hotel before Gate City last year made them come out "flat" and that he heard the kids stayed up all night playing around.

sup_rbeast 296 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Gettin' 'em in bed is the duty if the coaching staff...as is all team discipline. It's still a better scenario than playing immediately after a long bus ride. The way I see it tho, if a team's players don't care enough about advancing in the playoffs that they can't get in bed, behave, and put forth their best effort preparing to play the game...in that case, it doesn't matter anyways and they don't deserve to win. Being a champ comes down to much more than athletic ability. redtiger, Ryan4VT, wave316 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhstigers7327 217 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Anytime we were took somewhere to start over night it was made clear that it was a business trip first and foremost. You wasn't there to have fun you were there to get a win and get back home. If everyone has the team in mind it should not be a problem.

redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 We went to a camp at UT when I was in school(not the whole team but 12-15 of us. In bed by 10-10:30, up by 6:30-7 and handled business. Its on the coaching staff and the players. If they arent man enough to do what is needed to win then they dont deserve to win.

Union_Fan 2,154 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 I would play on Saturday, playoff games = Saturday I used to think the same thing, but they just don't have that "feeling" anymore for me. The night playoff games that Union has had over the past 4 seasons(including Friday night) have been far greater than the Saturday day games. More energy, better atmosphere, better crowd participation for the night games. Don't know why. People just sit there during the day games like they're watching a movie. Could just be a Union thing, IDK. I did watch Burton's game today against Covington, and I was shocked at how few fans were there. Not just Covington, but Burton's side was scarce and not very involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
