Did you get hit on the head with a brick as a child? I have no idea what you're saying.

I think a wood carving trophy resembling the mental institute in Marion would be great for the team that loses. Because it's 2017 and everyone deserves a trophy.

The Bearded Moose 1557 Front St, Richlands, VA 24641 if anyone says otherwise I'll fight them

I agree...alternating is stupid...but would expect anything smart to come from the VHSL when it comes to the playoffs?

I'll go different with my suggestion to eat I have had some great experiences at the Bearded Moose but also two not so great experiences. I would go with Roma's and get the garlic knots with pepperoni and cheese.

I believe RCITYHOO is referring to the 1971 Radford team. That one team alone had 10 players play at the Division 1 level. Frank Beamer was also on the coaching staff at Radford at that time as well. http://www.roanoke.com/sports/high_schools/radford-to-welcome-state-champions-back-for-reunion/article_c3138ba4-b3d2-516b-a134-d38f48fce378.html And yes, RCITYHOO, those Radford teams, especially the '71 and '72 teams, should be in the conversation.

I asked a very prominent member of Virginia Tech athletics history (if you're a fan of VT, you would know him) what they thought about the "trophy" for this game. The reply? "I thought it was a cake..."

The Woof, the Woof, the Woof is on fire! Sorry, couldn't contain myself!

I can't tell you anything about a "team". As for "identity", Tom Walker is an author. He wrote Fort Apache, Bronx NY. It was later made into a movie featuring Paul Newman. Glad I could help you out there!

And that's the damn problem with this world, trying to please everybody. You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time...put that in your lesson plan and teach it...

Or Giles, or Glenvar. I really wish they would let power points determine the hosting school instead of this alternating Region stuff. It's possible that a 6-4 Region C or A winner could be hosting a 10-0 D or B winner. Not a fan.

I recommend going across 91 to Glade Spring... why not? Take the scenic route! :D

Which way will Tazewell travel to get to the Game?

Since I have the unfortunate task of calling this game for ESPNBlacksburg, the ONLY thing I'm looking forward to this week is eating at Da Moose before the game Friday and making sure Paul (PBP) finally gets to eat there.

This. Done. End of discussion. Do NOT go anywhere until you've tried Bearded Moose. Oh, and make sure you "holy cheezus" your burger. You can thank me later. :)

The new Mexican place straight across from RHS is pretty good as well.

"Kid and Akers have been cussing back and forth all year." there's your sign!!!!!!!!!!!! SCSB & AD. 10-0 Blue Devils. 0-10

honestly until graham beats richlands I don't think anyone should have graham higher than richlands. hate to say it but I was on the last team to beat richlands from graham but that's how I see it.

That's funny as hell right there Woof woof

I played against the 93 team at Appalachia, to open the season my Freshman year. Not a fun welcome to Varsity football. I also played against the 93, 94, 95, and 96 Gate City teams. GC had the better stars during that time, but the 93 Appalachia team was the best "team" that I ever played against.

I love Jamie at QB, he just needs to clean the turnover issue up. He fumbled at the VHS 8 yd line at Union on the first series of the game, and has subsequently thrown 2 INTs in each game against Tazewell, JSB, and Tn. High. 7 turnovers in 3 and a half games is not a good number. He will be fine though. He is a good athlete, who's learning the QB position.

The Cats were a couple plays short of beating Tn. High last week. They outgained, won time of possession, and were frankly more physical than Tn. High. Those things almost never happen in that rivalry. It's really no fluke that they went to Big Stone and played Union tough. I know that Union is the better team, but most VHS teams in the last 2+ decades would be down 30 or more at the half to this years' Union team. I believe they have made a huge upgrade to their offense by giving their defensive captain some serious carries in the backfield. He has started generating some interest from a few schools at the next level. He destroyed Tn. High's defense with his downhill running style. He only received a carry or two against Union, and I think only one against Tazewell. He's usually used for short yardage, but if you watch his Hudl, he had a chance to show his above average speed to go along with his power. From what I understand, he will be included more on the offense from this point on. Cats bounce back with a big win. Cats 42 WC 13

Is there such a thing in your world as sentence structure and coherency?

Green Bay just needed a little Majik. Still a year or two away.

Yes, and I don't discriminate against anyone...I give you all hell from time to time...

NO...

Don't you mean, Thad and the Revolution?

Neither...Dismissed.

Gman says not to rank them Or Salem in our polls. I especially would avoid mentioning Salem in a poll because we REALLY don't care about them. Blacksburg 41, Richlands 20

This! He never said you can't mention Blacksburg. He never said they can't be in a post when one of our teams is playing them. He simply said -- which is something that has been said FOUR THOUSAND TIMES -- that Blacksburg is not in our coverage area, and therefor, not eligible for our SWVA polls and stuff like that. That's it. Talk about them all you want. Talk about how Beck is so fast. Talk about how Terry is the best player they have. Talk about Thad. Just don't rank them in a poll on here. Pretty simple.

I would add 2010 Richlands and 1996 Gate City with 2001 Graham, but other than that I concur.

GC has played PV every year since 1986...that's for 6 of PV's Titles. GC's record vs PV during those Title years is 1-5, with an average score of 25-11 in the Vikings favor. The only GC win was a 1 point win in overtime. Enough of the GC superiority...be glad they were Division 3, because the way the playoffs were set up then, PV would've sent 'em home in the first round.

Crack kills...lay off the pipe.

Def tinted glasses. Just bc you've watched a lot of their games is meaningless. I meant to type 97. No team scored more than 22 points against PV that year, and the only game that was close was beating an Appalachia team that was state champs. Both teams beat 2A champs GC in regular season. It's all speculation, but saying any team beats one of the best PV teams by four TDs is crazy
