Glad to see reward money is available. With that amount of money, this close to Christmas, someone will talk. 

I don't know. That "My Name is Earl" show was pretty good.

Another reason could be Turner didn’t run up the score on teams that they probably could have and won by an even greater margin. A teams points allowed on defense is what I like to look at. If they’re not trying to run up the score, a coach can’t help it if his backups score. But... he can scream at the top of his lungs for the backup defense to stop them, even if you’re up by 40. I could be wrong but Union is going to be fired up for the chance at #1 and 10-0.  

All things being equal, I think Central/GC and Tazewell/Grundy determine the #1 seed. Even if Richlands loses to Va High. Sleeper games are Princeton/Brooke and Mo West/Bearden.
The following is based on Central over GC, Va High over Richlands, Grundy over Tazewell, Princeton over Greenbrier, Brooke over Princeton, and Grayson losing their last 2. A tie for #1 between Union/Graham would go to Union for "best overall record". A tie between Union/Marion would come down to "highest average rating of all opponents".

Doubling down on a stupid proposition doesn’t make you correct or justified.  It makes you look doubly foolish and doubly delusional.  Next time you get the urge to produce copious amounts of typewritten diarrhea, just don’t.  Even if you were right (you’re not), and even if your assertions could be based in objectivity (they can’t), you’re pissing people off and making your team, fans, school, and community look like a bunch of entitled jackasses.

You don't know who my team is, im not a Ridgeview guy(I don't live in Dickenson County anymore and don't have any connections to the team).
My sample size of the GC fan base is very small, maybe 10 people total. No where did I state anything to the contrary but that sample is pretty diverse. I assume you have spoken to every GC supporter? Probably not, so its safe to say your sample size is around 5-10%. But that is just my opinion.
Google search "Akers, gate city" and this comes up   https://www.thepetitionsite.com/629/493/130/demand-coach-akers-be-replaced/     id say that's enough to say he is being ran off. Plus theres all the posts on this board stating that he needs to go.
That is my opinion. I don't like seeing GC like this, nobody really does(well there are some that undoubtedly do). Its ok to see them have a horrible season to cap off a string of bad seasons but for SWVA football to be strong GC needs to be strong. That's what I want to see.
If Id wanted to say "every single poster" that's what I would have said, I said "others" as in some but not all, there is no difference. Am I neutral? No I support local football and support a local team, Im invested to some degree but what Im really doing is discussing the ins and outs of local football on a DISCUSSION board.  Im not bitter, angry, or jealous of GCs success. My school took 2 whoopings from GC in football and 1 that I remember in basketball (im not really a basketball guy). The only thing that im bitter or angry about concerning GC is the fact that them playing up through the 90s contributed to drawing Haysi up into D2 and cost my program some success(throw Grundy and Graham into that pot, imo they screwed us but ive discussed that before, no secret there).
 
Your arrogance is unbelievable.  As if the only way that someone could disagree with you is that they hate Gate City and are jealous. No way it could be that theyre just discussing the situation
 

Not everyone who dislikes GC is jealous. Much of the disdain comes from the arrogance of a good portion of the fan base. Then again, another good portion of the fan base is pretty cool. The arrogant fans seem to overshadow the good ones. 
 
Are people jealous of GC for their success in the past? Of course. As a PV grad, I can attest to the fact that winning programs will bring out jealousy among other fan bases. They also bring out arrogance among their own fan bases. 
For that reason a lot of people will enjoy the fans of that team throw fits when said program’s success QUICKLY dwindles like GC’s program is doing.
I am pretty sure that a few weeks ago a GC fan on here said that the GC fans deserve wins. I don’t remember exactly WHO said it. First off, fans of every team deserve NOTHING. The athletes of that program deserve success only as long as they work for it. The fans are just there to watch it. I am sure many of the GC athletes are working hard. Kudos to the ones who are sticking with their team in their moment of turmoil. 
Statements claiming that the fan base deserves to watch a winning program and claiming jealousy everytime someone even remotely criticizes Gate City are reminding people why they dislike GC or have disliked them before.
 I have never seen UVAObserver get disgruntled on here over Graham’s 70-0 loss at the hands of Gate City. A lot of teams and their fan bases would normally be sour about something like that anyway until they avenged it and then they probably get over it after they get revenge. UVAO is a classy guy so I would be surprised if he kept going on about it. I am sure a lot of people from Graham—players and fans—would love to avenge that loss in a regulation game.
It seems like in 2015 a lot of GC faithful wanted Bill Houseright to step down. I am neither taking up for him nor am I saying those who wanted it were right but they got what they asked for. Is GC any better off since he stepped down?

At the bottom of the hill would be a good start.  They're not called the Walmart Warriors for nothing you know....

^ Agree 100%. The Pound community really got shafted. Norton now has 2 high schools.

You did not tag me but glad I saw this.
 
1. Hate Union Week- Man, what a privilege it must be to to attend the county seat school and have a week sponsored by the school board to hate another school in the district.... Students started this and ran with it. Is it dumb? maybe, but its kids being kids. Union and Central are constantly trying to outdo one another. 
2. Moving the ROTC program- Sounds to me like Union had privileges that Central/Eastside did not have. Backwards to your argument. Did they move it to the VOTEC center? If so, good place for it. Give Estside/Central/Union the same educational opportunities.
3. Stadium cost- Unsure on all this. It is public knowledge though so looking at the budget would be helpful but I am too lazy to do this. Does someone want to provide real research on this rather than trusting these very trustworthy posters? I might try and look in a few hours...  
4. Tennis courts- You're speculating... If the SB fronted ANY cost, you would have seen it in the budget. 
5. PV has ALWAYS played at Bulliet. I am not sure how the upkeep for Bulliet occurs or if the SB pays the town of BSG to use it. If not, good gig on the SB's side of things. Bulliet it a great place to play a game. If you wanted turf, I could name a few gentlemen who would probably proudly donate money for it. 
 
Union hates Central and vice versus for the same reasons. They are the county rival. It was set up that way and good for them. I remember when JJK and JIB used to be heated rivals as was Appy and PV. Regardless of the sport, it was always wild. Good for the schools to instill that rivalry mentality into today's society. 

You Gate City folks are hilarious.  I think your in denial right now.  If they had kept passing they would have been in it to the end.  You got beat 45-7.....45-7.  Sounds like grapeape has some insight.  Before this game I thought GC might finish 1-9, now I'm thinking Central game could go either way.  Hilarious!!!!!  Yeah, I think Coach Akers needs time, maybe 5 more years.

Well your dad and critical noise have something in common, they're both wrong
MW will be able to to 35-40 high quality players on the field at various times, U will be able to put 15-18 tops. Numbers will wear Union down. Their only chance imo is to get up early and hold on late. With Mitchell and Jenkins thyre perfectly capable of doing it but I don't think they will. And theres no shame in that
 
 

But there's a heckuva lot more to choose from when you have 3,000 students compared to 600.

I have been "out-of-pocket" for awhile and missed much of the football season to date.  Clicked on the SWVAsports board this am to catch up and WTF!  GC fans and their version of "Days of our Lives" have firmly migrated here.  Much like soap operas, you really don't need to watch often, one or two episodes and you are all caught up on the misery and woe.  SSDD, if you know what I mean. 
Hint(s) for some of the more brash, newer posters:  (1) Don't piss off he who wields the hammer; and (2) UVAO knows his stuff.  You better have your ducks in a row before entering battle with either.

Ahhh  Sandlick Field  many a good memory there.   The visitors locker room was about 12x12. GC fans are a little different and it was totally unexpected to have fans show up that early. That's my time period at Haysi, fan support was pretty low and things were kind of bare bones.  We still scored in the 1stQ on the Blue Devils though. A small...very small... glimmer of hope that quickly faded.
 
I was working and missed the North game.  North being much larger than Haysi sounds about right. The success of Haysi football can be traced back to the line; when we had size up front we won region titles, when we didn't teams would simply push us around(Honaker, Clintwood, S. North, PV, Lee, etc.).

This from the guy who threw a hysterical crap fit when I poked a little fun for saying "alot".

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.

Adkins may not get to the century mark, but I would be willing to bet he at least gets close.  He's going to be a contender for Mountain POTY in the next two years.  I guarantee that.

Anybody else read this the way I did???

Post said, state title...not titles, just saying... lol.

It'll be closer than that.  The crooked ass officials down that way will ensure it.

I have a kid in that team. So it would serve you well to watch the comments. They weren't even the stadium and couldn't hear the anthem being played. Post a name or message any of us and we can discuss. Takes a tough guy to hide behind a screen and callout a bunch of 16 year olds. 

I don't see reporters beating down your door either, but you still feel inclined to pollute this place with your useless commentary.
