Norris isn't in the equation now. Wanted more than what they were willing to give.

I'm really afraid that the next presidential election will be between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. The last couple of elections to me have felt like "choosing the lesser of two evils" but this scenario would go beyond that IMO.

Just my opinion but the Bears will have their hands full with GC this year.. Hunter Collier back with McClung and others. Bears barely scraped their way back last game to beat GC.. I'm not from Union or GC..The schedule GC plays in early season is that which a few teams only face in playoffs. Bears will be a good team...will they be as good as last year is yet to be seen. Richlands lost a ton of great seniors too.. Don't know if they will be as good as last years team.. Time will tell. Teams may have guys who will step up and amaze their fan base.  

Capital and Beckley were scheduled to play several weeks ago, but from what I understand the conference (MSAC) forgot to schedule any officials. So the teams arrived to play, but the officials did not and the game was not rescheduled.

Have another drink.

Better candidate? Absolutely.
Better leader? Definitely not.

9/2 (A) Riverview
10/7 (A) Hurley

I agree it is too much money. Great series in terms of teams, fans, and overall product on the field. Too good to let go. But it was alsmot dropped last cycle.

For those of you who may be coming, I am the drummer for Jake, Milady. We play at 5. You should come say hello!!

VT released a press release today regarding updating the Merriman Center and all of the wording in th renderings have a new look font. What do you guys think of it? I like it.

Congrats Marion girls!  Great job,  My great neice is on that team.

Interesting in AAA, that I see three teams that finished with 9 games.  Capital (9-0), Point Pleasant (9-0), and Woodrow Wilson (6-3).  That was the problem that Bluefield used to have, having a hard time getting 10 games.
 
So, #3 Bluefield will play #14 Ravenswood at home.  What I am curious about is how good Bridgeport and Frankfort are...

I may live in Big Stone, well not exactly in Big Stone more closer to Norton in a split foyer inside the BSG city limits.
I realize people may not like what I post on here but I calls it as I sees it and I also hears it.
Wow! And has I been hearing it! I happen to be a person in Wise County who knows a few people who are friends "on the inside" of the inner circle of some of the Gate City "elite" as he calls them.
I think these people must be like what the shadow government is like to our own political system? That's another story though. (Go Trump!!)
The big news I am hearing from the Elitist be that GC didn't have any person man or woman good enough experienced enough or that they trust enough to coach the Devil program from the inside.
Now the plan is to try and bring in a certain DB coach over to the real football state out of retirement and put him in the same position he held with DB in Kingsport.
Maybe he can bring over some of those Kingsport recruits as well and help GC become good enough to actually try and beat us for a change. Seems like those GC people can finally see the writing on the wall.
We, Union, are going to be around for a while and they want someone who has the capability to beat us.
I know other people from Big Stone who have close dealings and work in Scott County and have friends there. Not "elitist" friends though. Common peasants friends is all.
They had not heard anything as of yet so I know this person knows whats up.
Whoever your applicants are I think GC has this job in GC.
If it is for sure, then welcome Coach C to SWVa football and the Union BEARS.
We welcome the uh.... Challenge. We hope you do because you are in for one.
 
As a spectator I think the GC coach has some major obstacles and here is what I see that has to happen:
 
1) Play people you can beat. Union does and it doesn't hurt us one beat. Gate City isn't the Dallas Cowboys. Wait bad example. They do not beat anyone either. You get my picture though.
 
2) Energize your fan base.
BEST FANS in SWVA
A. Tie Union and Richlands
B. Gate City fans have about as much energy at a football game as Powell Valley Memorial Gardens does at midnight. Idk. That place may actually have more.
 
Whoever gets your program good luck to them. Beware though new HC at GC. The fans are only great when when you win a state championship. They are not even close to happy when you just win a region championship. They are very upset when you just win a conference championship. Very angry if you just win 6 games. Ready to tar and feather you if.you win 5 or less.
Points wise:
They yell and scream when you are winning by 40. They sit on their hands win you are winning by 20. They criticize you if you are winning by 10 or less. They start cussing you if it's a tie game. They look to slash your tires and buat out your windshields if you lose. Then they go to church on Sunday and praise Jesus!
Yes! See?? I DO know people who know the ELITIST in GC.
Good luck coach! You are going to need it!

....and she is still a better candidate than Donald Trump!  
 
Doesn't speak highly of our current political landscape at the highest levels, huh?

Opening day for most teams happens this week, who are the contenders for SWVA?
 
Of course, Virginia High is going for a 3-peat in 2A and Honaker should be good in 1A as always

Congrats to the Marion girls VB will be playing for STATE TITLE...

I have to say, that's strangely impressive. What pressure that has to put on the defense, which almost always delivered.

Still hasn't mention the US military members murdered by a terrorist this past week. With that being said she has found the time to tweet about women's equality, Nelson Mandela, beer koozies, and Rahmadan.

Pics!

Regardless of tomorrow nights outcome, GMan has won this years bracket challenge!! Congrats to him and thanks to all who played this year.
 
Up next: football pick'em!!

CLASS AAA

Why the Thursday night game? I assume Beaver will have Mitchell on Friday but I would think that the Graham game is still good enough to have on a Saturday night.

On another note, pertaining to the GC headcoaching position.....I've heard that it's in fact Robbie Norris's to lose. It's his if he wants to take it.
 
I also do know that Reed and one of the Houserights applied (thinking it was Jeremy). But heard that the school board wanted someone without direct ties to GC.
