And I didn't mean that as an insult. Just pointing out that it's different. It's been that way as long as I can remember. Not specifically referring to Appo, but any area east of SWVA in general. Clarke Co people were amazed because our band traveled 5.5 hours to support our team when their own didn't show up. The support and packed stands that you have seen at Appo the last 2 years is what we have seen for 50 + here, even in down years. A 4-6 Richlands team packed out the 1000 seat visitor stands last week where the temp was in the 20s by game's end. Would Appo's fans do that if they were 4-6 and not expected to win? There was a game in 1968 between the Appalachia Bulldogs and Gate City Blue Devils that had 10-12,000 spectators (depending on which article you read). I have several family members that attended or played in that game. People had climbed to the roof of the school to watch the game because there was no place left to sit or even stand. People are CRAZY about HS football here. Gate City, Richlands, and Lee High have all brought their inflatables to Union's field. I remember a few times when Lee brought their horse and train horn. I understand why Appo doesn't want the train horn. Different culture. But we, here in SWVA, find it amusing. Different culture. Nothing wrong with that. Just different.

The TD pass in the first quarter was definitely a touchdown seen the highlights on wcyb last night

I can't wait for the game tomorrow night I think Canes have a shot to win this game. Good Luck to Union and all the fans on here we'll see you guys tomorrow night.

Let’s tear em’ up G-Men!

dumb question but how is a 10 and 0 1st seed in 2A barely making the playoffs?

Good luck GMEN ,Giles I hope you all win and maybe we will see you at the Park

He looking to get out and he trying to do it on his own terms...he would much rather say that he left instead of having to say "I got ran off".

Hope both teams have an injury free game and all are careful in their travels. Enjoy the game and best of luck to both teams.

I found james mitchell's 1 flaw.. he's left handed ?

And that was at a time when Richlands’ numbers averaged 100 or more. Richlands has always had quite a few audition and make it. I never had a problem with Richlands’ Band or their band director at the time, which is why I was shocked when he got in trouble because I never would have suspected something like that. Long story there. I always felt that if you deserved to be placed in the All District Band (symphonic or concert) then your audition would show it. Whether you auditioned first or last.

I would never make fun of God , period. God doesn't care who wins a football game. Anyone that believes that He does is ignorant of His word. Generally speaking, there are people who throw God's name around for show and do not actually walk the walk but gladly talk the talk and people that know them and God's word realize that. Those kind of people poison Christianity and turn people away from God and church. Please do not read into this that I'm pointing fingers or calling someone out. I noted, "generally speaking". This entire thread was meant in good fun obviously. Your perceptions are your own.

Game day ... Go G-Men! #grahampride

LOL... sounds like a lot of people wanting to be nosey.

VA High has good facilities and living in Bristol would be a plus for the conveniences and the fact that Bristol isn't losing population like most other places

Back in my day at E C Glass we totally packed lynchburg city stadium.

No doubt. I've been to a little league tournament where the police were called. Those mamas be like "Dat's my baby....don't you be hurtin my baby....that ain't fair to my baby." haha

For real. You would think that horn had pillaged and plundered their village, kissed their wives, and took their dogs.

Sorry if that came off like a shot towards you.. When the school board gets brought up I just like to point out the severe disservice to the taxpayers they pulled by hiring that lady.

Yes. God lays out the avenue. You still have to choose which path to take.

My understanding is God gives you an avenue to make decions. He doesn't make them for you. Just saying.

When they paid an outside firm to find their new superintendent & brought the lady in from the east only to let her go after one year and still paid her 100k+ salary the following year while she sat on the couch?

I hope you are a God fearing person, and I hope this post was your way of trying to be funny, but for Mance to say it is in God's hands show's his reliance on the one who created the universe, and for you to make light of that shows pure ignorance on your part. I respect everyone on this board, but if you are making fun of God being in control, I have no respect for that, and I will pray that you had no intention for your post to turn out that way, but that is how I perceived the wording. This has always been a good place for all of us to have a little fun and post our opinions, but making fun of God almighty is going a bit to far, so please tell me that was not your intentions.

I can’t see him retiring just yet,the post was only in fun because of the numerous close games at Bulliett, the state championship games played there, where the home team always won except 1 time. Bullitt has magic in it, from the catch of Ricky Webb to the “Run” of Mitchell to the pick 6 on the final play of Union / Richlands

Carter is a very nice pick up for RU. Im sure he will be a much bigger impact player coming in that Mac would have been and you guys should be thrilled that you filled a big need. But it seems like Macs decommittment rustled some jimmies of fans....obviously. I'm well aware how it works though.....its the usual college fan base reaction. "Hes gonna be a stud and do big things and have RU rocking" while he's committed and literally a day later after he decommits "he's not impressive at all....not sure why Pikiell went after him". It boggles the mind.
