When the rain chills out for a bit I’ll get out of the car and take a look. 😂 It doesn’t bother me. I don’t mind to get wet. It’s just that Union seems to struggle in the rain, so 👎🏼

It’s a wet day in Bristol. 🙄

It may be a very, very interesting night on battle hill...

Graham at home would take everything we have and still may not be enough. Graham on the road would probably be a nightmare. Go Blue Tornado 🌪🌪🌪

Stop the madness!

I think Grundy will win 27-22. I wouldn’t be surprised if Central won 27-22 though. I feel Grundy will be too physical for Central.

Most of us foolishly had that mindset last year. Not this year though 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Props to you. It takes a lot for a parent to admit things like that sometimes, lol. During the play, #44 is one of the top 2 or 3 players on the entire team, but there’s a bit too much going on after the play for my taste at times. It’s good from time to time. It adds some swag and attitude to the team. But there are times when it does go over the edge a bit. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not hating on him because I’m incredibly happy to have a player with the potential like him at Union. Just pointing out a few things

I’m sorry if it’s already been stated, but what will 1-4 look like if Grayson wins tonight but loses Friday?

Has everyone from the board went and applied yet? 😂

It’s wishful thinking to think that he’s saving something for the playoffs. The offensive playbook was opened up when we played Central, yet last night it was very, very basic. If in your two biggest games of the year (RV and Abingdon) you have a hard time opening it up, there’s no way it’ll happen in the win or go home playoffs.

Exactly. That’s one of many things going on that are uncharacteristic. Don’t get me wrong, I love the aggressiveness. But it’s a double edged sword that when is going bad, it’s awful.

You’re spot on.

Congrats to the Falcons. You can’t beat a team with 5-7 fumbles (I don’t know the exact number) and two bad snaps on punts that give them field position inside the 20. Abingdon executed when they needed to though, and you can’t take that away from them. Union has some real issues going on. I’m sure everyone else’s opinion on these certain subjects are pretty close to mine.

Doesn’t one team being favored by 20+ points take some of the wind out of its sails though? 😂

We had a couple games in 2014 that were back to back against Middlesboro and Lee High at the park that were both played in absolute downpours. My friends and I refer to them as “the rain game.” Here we go again... 😂

Thanks Ryan. I assumed it would be due to WCYB.

Does anyone have any inside information on if we are still planning for Friday or moving the game? 😂

With the forecast being what it is, who does everyone think it favors?

Fair point, but I don’t think the fans who actually create the atmosphere would miss it. Regardless of conditions. The fair weather fans, maybe..

I don’t wanna cast blame on any one player or anything like that, but do you think Sexton would have fumbled the ball with 6ish minutes to go, allowing Abingdon to get back in it? I don’t think so.

Excellent work as always. Thanks so much. What’s the tiebreaker for Union/RV? Head to head? also, for those who know, what are Grayson’s chances this week and then against Galax?

They have somewhere between 580 and 600 students. I think that’s a Virginia 2A. Someone may need to correct me though

I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that LCC got a win tonight. I’m sure that helps some. All contingent on a Union win this week of course.

I’m just getting home from Abingdon so here are my very early thoughts. This game scares me. Abingdon is incredibly physical and has a couple very good running backs. I think union has improved very much both physically and schematically since the Ridgeview Game. On senior night at the park, I think the bears hold the Abingdon run game down just enough to get the W.
