Welcome to the group! How do you feel about train horns?

Or, you know, you can get the f***ing shot that’s (1) free, (2) not designed to treat parasites in farm animals, and (3) will cut your risk of death by 98+%. That beats any alleged benefit at eating horse worm paste. Normally, I wouldn’t reply to this sheer stupidity, but I’m tired to seeing my friends die.

Before any talk of consolidation, the Scott Co School Board has to consider the significant investment they've made at Titan Stadium. (Photo Credit: Fourseasonsfootball.com)

Absolutely a Riverheads diehard fan and new to posting but not viewing the board. Two things: First, that was quite the accomplishment by Cassius Harris regardless, so congrats to him. Second, I don’t think anyone has ever mistaken Riverheads for being a speed team so that’s not a surprise statement. Thing is they win against speed teams more times than not. The system is not flashy and certainly the defense frustrates us as fans sometimes. But it works fairly consistently against a rather diverse group of offenses. I have no ill will and do not intend to argue, just wanted to say that there is no need for anyone to crap on one kids accomplishment to bolster another's. They are after all high school kids not paid professionals, lol.

Just got threatened by the Grayson Co. administration over blowing the train horn 😂

Didn’t want this thread to die without a shoutout to the good sportsmanship last night!

We all been too busy fighting with each other over this Graham/GW dilemma to worry about anyone else 😂

Schools making scheduling decisions centered around gate money, That is an absurd concept and should never be done.

Back to the original question YES a single game will be played

https://giphy.com/clips/hamlet-debate-argue-out-of-the-loop-QNvOkY2y4bU212laQw

This is completely false! I have yet to save on anything from Xfinity!

Helluva game tonight. What more could you ask for?? A well officiated game that came down to the last play. Proud of Richlands for taking Tazewells punches in the sound half and giving a few back and holding on at the end. The Creasey kid is as advertised. He’s gonna be a thorn in the regions side if the Dogs have talent around him. These teams are separated by 3 points in 2021, with both games being barnburners. Glad the rivalry is back. Good luck to the Dogs the rest of the way.

Don't forget to argue with Gman over who is and who isn't in "SWVA"

You forgot Parades in that list as well

Hey can anyone from Wythe confirm if their players are at home wearing masks tonight or are they out dancing?

Every community has them. TW's is the loudmouth screaming "So they do have flags?" after we get a penalty. Hun it's 28-0,looking like it's going to be much worse. Flags aren't going to matter:). She'll be the one saying the refs screwed them in a 62-6 game (rolls eyes).. Fifth grade? Best 3 years of her life.

You can literally look at the difference in VHS and see that Christ has an Adam Gase-like effect on the teams he coaches…

This is strictly my opinion so take it for what it’s worth. Radford, like Blacksburg, made a regrettable decision in hiring a new coach. Like Blacksburg, Radford will continue to see an erosion of the program.

Tazewell defeats Marion in the Dragon Bowl, but is forced to retain the trophy for another year. I call that a draw.

GameDay! LETS GO G-MEN!

Hey everyone. I am new here. I am a fan of the Volunteer High School Falcons just right next to Kingsport. I’m in my 30s but I know Volunteer played one of the schools that made Union. Powell Valley. I think it was 40 years ago? Well they kicked our asses 22-0 I think? I like a lot of the same pro and college teams people like. Lifelong Saints fan. I get a lot of crap from Titans and Cowboys fans. But it’s all in good fun! I love me some Vols. I love the Bravest. I know football at Volunteer usually makes for a rough season at Volunteer but this season has been excellent for our standards. Went to the Union and Central game. Central side. Nice stadium. Wish the seating was better. Those Union fans sure get fired up and support their boys! Thought I’d become acquainted with everyone here.

Asking for a Graham fan! Would you PLEASE predict Pulaski County over Graham? Thanks buddy! Counting on you! 😂

FootBallOnly.com! It's like a dating site for Covid shafted teams. You swipe left on teams that might beat you and swipe right on other teams that you're compatible with for an easy "score" 😉. If you both have the same open week, it's a MATCH!

I am glad to see V-High performing well. It is good for the entire district and SWVA.

Wait… I always thought it was cold-cocked. Am I crazy? It’s not coal-cocked is it???

It's been "Sensitive Saturday" on here today.

I would bet a frosty!!

Good lord, just take the L.

Please share all your favorite Myrtle Beach spots.

It's Bluefield. When are they not fast?

Two things 1. The thing that separates Tazewell's Stadium and Richlands' turf is the fact that an outside source paid for our turf, kinda hard to be too picky there, and Tazewell could have bought one shade of green paint in bulk and fixed the problem. 2. If you take things on this message board so literal that you dig into your color wheel for reference, you should probably find a hobby for enjoyment.

This is a very ironic statement knowing that Richlands logo and end zone on their field is a royal blue(ish) color with a Hex number around #0957C3 instead of their normal school color of navy blue with a Hex number of around #000080. Don’t be a hypocrite.

To me it's ridiculous for 5 year olds to have to get on a bus that early and ride that far to school especially in the winter when it's dark about the time they get home

I'm always enamored on how many different shades of green you can find inside Bulldog Stadium, truly a sight to see! Also, where should I park just in case there happens to be another parade? I'd really like to avoid that at all costs.

Tremendous class Thomas Walker. Honoring fallen Union coach Steve Gardner with lovely tribute and having his wife and son do the coin toss.. Got me all choked up.

Uncle Percy wants me to post his Disclaimer before any story telling or picking any losers. GMan, we would like to not have to use a Mulligan here. Keep in mind it is Uncle Percy. Disclaimer: I am using the VHSL Master Schedule, we all should know how they can mess things up, and some the weekly newspapers to pick “losers”. (Who would have ever believed you could get better high school football coverage from, of all newspapers, The Voice than from The Bluefield Daily Telegraph.). However, We understand, due to The Wuhan Virus some games may suddenly change and we may not know it in time before we pick a bunch of losers. We had two such games last week. The Long Hunters of Lebanon and Richlands Little Blue Fizzle Machine. Lebanon was pick as a loser, played another and lost. The Little Blue Fizzle Machine didn’t play and ended September as an O-fer. SO, if any of you Nit-Pickin’, Political Correct, Mamby Pamby Millennials are going to condemn, then we need a certain Bluefield Gentleman (He’s one of the Old Dogs on this site) to repost his elegant description and philosophy of what Political Correctness is. Get It. Folks, Uncle Percy takes pickin’ Losers seriously. So let’s pick a bunch of losers. Ridgeview @ Richlands Richlands didn’t get to play The Flattails last week because of the Wuhan Virus and ended the month of September as a Big O-fer (no points, no wins). The Little Blue Fizzle Machine gets to host the Ridge Wolves from Dickinson County this Friday. (Lot of Ridges in Dickinson County, seems like a lot of people live on the Ridges in Dickinson County). Ridgeview is also an O-fer, the lost column. The Little Blue Fizzle Machine is going to have their hands full with this howling Wolfpack Friday Night. Now Ridgeview lost some Big Wolves off last years team but they shouldn’t have any problem from having a howl in’ good time at Ernie Hicks Stadium. On a positive note, the Little Fizzlers may finally get on the scoreboard when the Big Wolves turn the Wolf Pups loose to play the 4th Q. Loser: Richlands Wise-Central @Abington Yes Uncle Percy spells it with a ton instead of Don. The reason, Uncle Percy says it is because you can find tons of it there and none of it is any good. I’ll not say anything more and just leave it there. Uncle Percy says this is probably what you would call a toss-up game. Both teams have only wins against weak teams and lost to good teams. Both lost to Christianburg by 8 pts and 5 pts. Wise Central beat Eastside which is a better team than the 3 Blue Buzzards victims. Wise Central lost to Ridgeview which is a very, very good team. So, look for the Warriors to take home a bunch of Buzzard feathers this Friday. There you have it have folks, The Pronosticating Logic Uncle Percy now uses for toss-up games. (I liked it better when we used Grandpa Clovis’ fighting’ rooster Ol’ Phantom to pick toss up games). Uncle Percy says how can you pick a Loser to be a winner when they’ll always be a loser. ??????? Loser: Abington Grundy @Tazewell As expected the Bull Pups lost to Riverheads this past Saturday, Then again, everybody will probably lose to Riverheads this year. However, we hear that the Bull Pups were able to move the ball at times against a very good defense. With that in mind and looking at the remaining games on the Bull Pup schedule, the Bull Pups might be able to pull out of a slow start and have a winning season. That turn around could very easily start this Friday Night when The Slate Crik Crawdads roll into or should we say back into town. (Ever notice how crawdads are always traveling bas ackwards.) The Crawdads may have blew their chances this past Friday of the BDD Title when they lost to Honaker. Word is that Slate Crik may not even be the best team in Buchanan County this year. The best may be the team on the Pilgram’s Knob. By the Dismal River. Anyway, one of Uncle Percy’s Co-Horts (more like partner in crime) went to the Blacksburg-Grundy game. He told Uncle Percy that a nest full of eggs would at have been safe between the 2 opposing lines. (Translation for Mamby Pamby Millennials - no pads popping, no hitting). With that info, looking at who Tazewell has played, there will be plenty of Smoked Crawdads for Saturday lunch in Tazewell. Because the Bull Pups can bite. Loser: Slate Crik VA High @ Spotswood Interesting…. So the Boys from Bristol are going Cat Racing up in Horse Country this weeekend. Interesting…. We don’t know much about the Spotswood Blazers. Uncle Percy says it has been at least 30 years, give or take a year or two, since he has been to Penn Laird. We know they are 1-3, they scored 91 points, given up137 point, that sounds good for the Bearcats. We know the Bearcats can score and score quick. We don’t know how quick the Blazers are. So this could turn into a heck of a game or a track meet. We are going with the Bearcats by a nose or should we say a Cat’s Whisker. Loser: Spotswood Couple of notes: Uncle Percy and I want to tank Union Fan for his Power Rating Posts. It takes some time and work. Thank You, it’s a big help for us. V-Cats, Uncle Percy says that if you are going to Spotswood, that the last time he was there, the concession stand had the best Smoked Bar-B-Que sandwiches. Don’t know if they still serve them but they were good 30 years ago. Cousin Claude wants to thank Ryan4VT for helping him win a free meal off Uncle Percy. See, Uncle Percy had to cover any bets last week.

Be nice to the Raider truck if you see it in Bluefield on Saturday. If you see the Raider A and SMITH STRONG please leave the tires alone. Looking forward to seeing your home field as I'll be there for my sons college game (Georgetown College) Hitting the Railyard for lunch is the plan provided 81 flows well.

Found a pic of Yoder commenting on this board.

I’m out of reactions but bravo!!! 🙌🏻 I don’t understand the mentality of grown men putting down high school kids, period.

I kind of get the whole points thing and if you lose, etc, but............at some point it should come down to letting your kids play a football game. For the seniors, it is their final year and high school football seasons are short. I just don't understand the "scheming" on power points or worrying about losing and what it will do to your power point ranking. Because, with what has happened in the spring with a shortened season and at present, a coaches and ADs duty to find your kids a football game and let them play trump's worrying about how many power points you get or don't get.

Idk what’s going on behind the scenes but how I see it is not playing this game will help GW in points if they find an opponent next week that they can beat. Graham is a very physical team and I’m sure any team other than Galax in 1C or 1D would avoid them at all cost. I hate it for Graham because this is going to hurt them. Hopefully they can find someone. Giles has been fortunate to not have to cancel any games this season or else we would likely be playing Graham this week since it’s our bye week.

Go ahead and call "the idiots of the tunnel" what they really are: Ohio drivers lol

One thing about Riverheads is not in doubt. They have the largest pressbox relative to home bleachers.

Everyone keeps bringing up last year and year before and 5 years ago. This year, no team in SWVA is beating Riverheads.
