    Marion's is the same as Emory & Henry's and UNC's

    "I'm Marion born"..."I'm Emory born"..."I'm Tar Heel Born" 

    Let's not sleep on Mountain Dew as a secondary fight song, which not only took some ingenuity, but also the use of a song traditionally recognized as a bluegrass song and performing it as a marching band number is the most "SWVA sports" thing that I can imagine.

    Heck Marion actually scored after getting embarrassed last week at Northwood I’m surprised they didn’t lay another goose egg

    I'd rather not think about it. That game set back the sport of football by at least 75 years 🤣

    Can you get good hotdogs at Marion? Not been there in a long time.

    They're pretty decent. They seem to have had a return to form this year. "As goes Marion's hot dog chili, so goes their football team."

    However, they no longer have hotdogs at the home side concession stand which creates a major logjam at the main concession stand just inside the gate. Poor logistical planning, in my opinion.

    What’s your biggest surprise of week 1? For me it was the thorough dismantling of Chilhowie by Marion. 

    Having seen it in person, the scoreboard did not reflect how lopsided that game was. Marion dominated all three phases of the game, and penalties were the only thing that kept that score respectable. With Richlands doing what they did to Gate City, I think it's safe to say that the SWD is VERY deep this year.

    Also, for most people this goes without saying, but never take the scores of benefit games as an actual barometer of a team's abilities. 8 days ago Chilhowie topped Tazewell and Marion was routed by Fort in benefit games, and now we know that probably wasn't the best reflection of any of those teams.
