Too funny, your not a "mod" your not even a man. Anyone who played for these men know they were not child abusers but you knew that they commanded respect, did we always agree...no but our opinions didn't count, you know kinda like yours

It's true that interest is down, but when your best player screams "I hope you get f...... fired!" at the HC it kind of tells you everything you need to know about the direction of the program. Oh well, maybe GC can get a win or two in 18. 

Rivalry or deathmatch? Haha.  The stuff on Twitter before and after the 2014 game was down right nasty!

I thought GC \ Buckingham was going to turn into a great rivalry if they kept meeting up. Lots of bad blood generated in just a couple meetings.

Can't speak for everyone but I don't dislike Abingdon. I pull some for them when not playing GC. 

I don't know how Abingdon feels about them... but I am pretty sure that Gate City doesn't like Abingdon, especially when it comes to hoops season.

Can't speak on the kid's reaction, but blaming it on a former coach is just dumb. GC's coach is a bum, and the mess is all his. Attitude reflects leadership. The problem starts with the SB and the AD - also bums. Acres was the only man that would take the job; no one else wanted it after 1. Meeting GC's esteemed AD & 2. seeing GC's crumbling facilities. GC finishes 2017 either 1-9 or 0-10, depending on how they play against Lee.

The basketball is going to be fine, even after Mac is gone. Coach V has a nice program going and they will be competitive in the region for several more years. The football and girls basketball are down, but football is the money maker. The situation with football will get worse before it gets better.

He's referring to the purchase of property to build a sports complex, that can't be accessed, for $2 million +. It has turned into a boondoggle. A planned VDOT road that would have given access to the property never materialized. Thus, it sits....unused. This was viewed as a huge waste of money that could have been better spent elsewhere. This was also prior to the downturn in the economy, so now there is no money for anything.

At this time, I would say the boys basketball program is the most popular sport at GC. 

Facilities aren't the problem and they certainly aren't going to help the current talent level. Talent in small towns is cyclical and the last few years there just hasn't been enough to be competitive on the football field. 

No facilities upgrades of any kind for GC sports since 1997. Not trying to highjack the thread, but GC has the worst overall (basketball, volleyball, baseball, track, softball) facilities around. The visitor's side of Legion was condemned in 2015. The SB's sports complex decision might have something to with that. I know for a fact that when South's current HC interviewed, he recommended to the AD that he stop showing candidates the facilities.

I got to see the weight room this year for the first time since the mid 90s. Definitely a shame where it is now.

Is there such a thing in your world as sentence structure and coherency?

I can't tell you anything about a "team".  As for "identity", Tom Walker is an author.  He wrote Fort Apache, Bronx NY.  It was later made into a movie featuring Paul Newman.
Glad I could help you out there!

GC has played PV every year since 1986...that's for 6 of PV's Titles. GC's record vs PV during those Title years is 1-5, with an average score of 25-11 in the Vikings favor. The only GC win was a 1 point win in overtime. Enough of the GC superiority...be glad they were Division 3, because the way the playoffs were set up then, PV would've sent 'em home in the first round.

Crack kills...lay off the pipe.

Def tinted glasses. Just bc you've watched a lot of their games is meaningless. I meant to type 97.
No team scored more than 22 points against PV that year, and the only game that was close was beating an Appalachia team that was state champs. Both teams beat 2A champs GC in regular season. It's all speculation, but saying any team beats one of the best PV teams by four TDs is crazy
