big ugly vol

I know some players and most coaches, but not Beavers. Big credit to him for having his head in the right place.

I got to watch RV for the first time this year, and was just really suprised by how the offense looked with that many athletes. Not going to trash anybody, but I was definately not impressed.

What I had done in the past with other peoples kids was 6th to 7th grade start teaching lifts and strengthening shoulder girdles and core so they can handle weight when they get older. 8th grade is usually good for harder lifting. Technique and explosion are more important than weight. The weight will come. People will say you're going to stunt their growth, but my own kids started lifting earlier than that and they are both 6'1" and at 6'2" I'm the tallest person in my family. We generally run 5'9" to 5'11" on both sides of the family.

Strength and Conditioning programs make more difference than pretty much anything besides god given talent. You can't make a grade D athlete an A plus, but you can make them a C to a B minus maybe. Get a whole team doing it and you're going to be a different team. I could give a ton of examples, but I don't want to start preaching. I'm glad I got back on here today and found a thread on my favorite topic. lol

Awesome hire. I feel like this means big things for Ridgeview.

I'm not sure what either team has coming back, but I could see the Grundy/Hurley game as being especially nasty until they consolidate. Whenever that may be.

I'm figuring he's gonna draw his Va retirement and still work. Can't blame him for that, plus he's moving to bourbon country. Pulled the name of the place up on Google just to see where it was and three distilleries popped up. I always thought he was a good guy, hope he succeeds.

March Madness is awesome. I stopped watching NASCAR years ago. I wouldn't watch a baseball game if they were playing it in my front yard. I'm pretty busy with multiple jobs and don't get to watch much TV though, so it hasn't bothered me much. Football is a different story. I live for it. Don't know what I will do if that gets cancelled.

I've heard there is no teaching position to give, because Mullins is not Retiring, just not coaching. SO then it would have to go in house. Not sure how true any of that is.

They will which is why my post said for a few years.

Step 1 for Buchanan Schools - Pass a resolution to never hire Haydee Robinson. Step 2, Look at everything Dickenson County did with how they handled their money and do the EXACT opposite. You will probably be O.K. On a serious note, Council Doesn't field a team and Twin Valley is historically not very strong. Hurley despises Grundy, I doubt most football players will go there. Which means Grundy basically stands alone vs 3A competition and gets absolutely destroyed anytime they play at that level. I hope not, but that's the way I see it shaking out for a few years anyway.

I’m too old for madden. Can we do Tecmobowl?

Dang. Can we pick somebody to joke about from a different school once a week so the board stays fun for the other 8 months of the year?

I was shocked by how bad we were at times against the pass this year. Nowhere to go but up.

There needs to be a one question test for all candidates. 1. How many offensive plays are possible on any given down? a) There are only 6 possible offensive plays. b) There are more than 6 possible offensive plays. Anyone that answers b can be interviewed. As much as Ridgeview has driven me crazy Coach Mullins is a fine man and I wish him the best. It will be a big load off of him and I’m sure he will be happier.
