Gil'sBlues

Haha yea I remember that

I was at one point a third string quarterback! Remember @Gil'sBlues?? lol Man we had a good time. 

Also agree Brady wins that race against beck, and that's just going off of what I remember of Brady when I coached/watched him

Brady love the statement: I'm a lifer
made me smile big man

Unlike some fans I see on here I'm glad that  Richlands gave him a chance to improve after the way he started his first 2 years. Ive been lucky to watch about 7 Richlands games over the last 3 years and I will say Mance is hard to outcoach.

Haha ok, I didn't know. Happy to have helped out, I remember those years good as a player for the blues

Thanks guys!!! We have a blast doing it. I truly look forward to it every week. 

Agree podcast length is good, I really enjoy listening each week. 

My phone wouldn't let me copy any more older than 2004 for some reason so I just cut it to 13 years haha thanks though!

Respect the VH players, but don't think they have seen a defense like Richlands. From a man's viewpoint Richlands wins

Yes he did. Race is Qb when they go spread and Trey is Qb otherwise. Also had Johnson running ball. I know it was against Lebanon but his first carry as a rb goes 50 yards for a Td. They may have found a little something. If they can just make the playoffs they may give a top team a very good game.

Marcus Smith recovers a fumble in the end zone! Blues can't NOT score. 52-0, 9:00 left in 4th

Great podcast this week guys

When Blues make it into playoffs, which top seed team do they send home early?

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".

Except that he literally did last year in a bigger game with more on the line. 

Richlands has 6 losses:
Union 8-0
Blacksburg 8-1
William Byrd 7-1
Bluefield 9-0
Marion 8-0
Graham 7-1
 
That's a combined 40-3 record out of 6 teams, and they still have a 6-2 team left on the schedule. And the crazy part is the Blues have been within a touchdown of every one of those teams in the 4th quarter. This defense is damned impressive given the fact the offense is inept and now is without it's top 2 WR and it's two best OL, with all 4 of those players playing D as well. A play here or there, and the Blues could be .500. 
 
IF they make the playoffs, whoever gets them in the first round will be sweating. You can't come in and not bring your A game and expect to coast through this defense. 

Sophmore
 

Can someone ask Richlands' kicker if he's available to kick for Alabama tomorrow vs. Tennessee? jeeez that boy can kick the ball. He pinned graham deep all game, kicked two field goals with ease, and executed a perfect onside kick. 

Mance could take hisuns and beat yoursuns, or take yoursuns and beat hisuns!  

Graham said to call them buttah, cause they're on a roll! 

Richland's defense has not played poorly all year( Except giving up the big play at times) !  I think Graham has speed, and speed kills, but no one from Graham is talking about last years implosions at Bluefield? 

On paper Graham should be favored, but does Mance have their number? 

I mean Mance adjusted and overcame HUGE deficits last year, with in my opinion, a better Graham Team last year? 
I thought Cousins, Meade, Allen, Dante, and last years team were better? 
No offense to Marion, but they caught lightning in a bottle with a couple of penalties and a 3 vertical call, that caught an adjustment to the run. 

RIchlands  should have beat one of the best record wise team n the Region.... 

Mance and company had Blacksburg sweating early with game plan. If Richlands moves the chains, and chews the clock, and doesn't let Graham hit a home run with Allen Scramble, Long Run, or Long Pass to Cook I would have to say the pressure is on the G men, and a wise man once said "Pressure Busts Pipes"     Graham may be too hype coming out..... Look for Mance to take the Rock, and if RIchlands gets the lead, the heat is on.......  Levi the Leg Forrest is a Weapon and can kick it deep from the turf at Ernie and has been clanging and banging coffin corner punts all year long (Except the ruh roh kick to Mitchell where he proceeded to MIA take it to the house through the coverage)  ALL THE PRESSURE IS ON GRAHAM. Same as it was on the Scarlet Hurricanes....... It took a bad snap, a 58 yard TD Strike LATE in the game, and some fortutious penalties (30 yards worth) and a blown call before the half to negate a RIchlands TD end of second for the Hurricane to emerge..........

Have not heard yet how serious is it.
He was playing safety at start of season but got injured. Marion was his first game back and they only played him at WR.
Yea he is, he is a brother also and the last one.
