We seen the D1 athlete tonight 

Why on earth does Tazewell's coach still have all his starters in in the 4th qrt and it 41-0? So he can say they scored on a mix of 2nd, 3rd string and JV? No excuse for that. 

I noticed during the Richland's game that this Union team is their most chippy and mouthy team they've had.

You must not really keep up with football. Since Richlands renewed this series Bluefield only leads 4-3. Dont see how that is taking an L every year.

i personally hate the train horn but i can tolerate it ,cowbells and most noise makers are ok but i jus dont get why you would want to blow a train horn unless you jus love the attention

It ends at the act of intentionally trying to get an advantage. There is noise in the stadium. Natural noise and a band or two. There are lights in a stadium at night. Sometimes these things do impact play but it is not designed to do that. When something is designed to distract an opponent to gain advantage that is where it crosses the line IMO. I am a PA announcer for Graham and Bluefield. Am I allowed to scream on the PA when the opponent is trying to call signals? Of course not. It is unethical.

In 2017 Tazewell's starters were the JV team.

Union is always solid. Cant count them out in any game.

Disagree, I always thought the grass in Big Stone was better and the best around, but that's opinion stuff.

I think it should be a good game. First drive Abingdon drove down the field with ease and took 9 mins off the clock with 4 and 5 yard runs. Seems like their big line ran out of gas toward the end and Richlands was getting in the backfield pretty easily. See it being close at the half and Union pulling away at the end. I could see Union getting 250+ on the ground.

Congrats on the big 200th win. Called a beautiful game tonight. Mixed it up well with the run and short pass game. I knew this team had potential. Go get 201 next week. Love that he threw in the RPO.

Rack 'em up, sack 'em up!

It’s gonna happen this year.  As someone who’s been on the wrong side of a couple streaks like that, I’m tickled for you all.

No one knows this team like Mance so im sure he does what he does for a good reason. We're all here just giving our opinions which i think is great to have a place to do that. I would just like to see Mance adapt. I just dont think he has the personnel to run a true spread. I mean how many practices would it take to throw in some plays with a couple different formations? Without the speed they need to be playing the short game. Slants, middle screens, delayed routes from the TE. Then every once in a while throw in a stop and go. Try the pistol formation with 2 RBs and a TE that way it gives the RB more space to  hit the hole harder and you can still stay in shotgun. But with Medley and Whited i believe i would always have a TE in the middle of the field. Maybe even 2. Double them up on one side. Imagine the mismatches with their height.  And why no play action? Mance in all the years ive been watching, i might see 2 play action passes all year. This would open huge holes for slants and the TE in my opinion. I get it Mance lives and dies by the spread. But when youve only scored 1 offensive TD in 2 games its not working. Like someone said, spread is great if you have the playmakers. With lack of speed you have to have some misdirection. Cant really do that with one back. Its too easy for the defense to see who has the ball unless youre a downhill runner then it doesnt really matter if you hit the hole hard. I know ill probably piss someone off with this by coming off like a know it all but honestly just giving my opinion cuz i really know nothing. Just throwing my thoughts out there on what i would like to see. I would never make it as a coach so why not give couch coaching a try hahaha. Whatever happens im still pulling for Mance and company. But at least maybe some play action? 😕
