Great City, I apologize for quoting you with my previous post  You only offered your honest opinion of how the Blue Devils could have kept the game competitive.  I was unable to make it to the game but know that the final score was 45-7.....so I thought to suggest that if GC would have continued to throw the ball it would have made a bit of difference was inaccurate......well my assessment could be false.  The facts are GC is 0-6.  They have scored a total of 48 points, given up 218, and been shut out twice, as per Maxpreps.  The last five years, GC has went 29 and 35, inwhich 2014 they had a 11-3 season.  The previous head coach walked away.  The entire coaching staff, with the exception of Coach Akers, walked away after last year.  I won't mention DBs QB being a GC kid or the other obvious GC athlete not playing football.  I may be way out there but it appears obvious something is wrong.
I hope you can accept my humble apology.

This number is idiotic and completely inaccurate, like everything else you post.  Please make some token effort to fact check yourself; I'm embarrassed for you.

That's for a minimum 40 extra hours of work per week. Many of Bill Houseright's assistants worked for a half stipend. Educate yourself.

This 100%
I am not sure of GCs past records in MS/JV in the past 4-6 years but I would wager mediocre at best if not below average. 
As an outsider, I know absolutely nothing about what Akers has done since July. What I do know is he came in with the cupboard virtually bare and NO support of past coaches who are, I would imagine, toxic to his program. I can only imagine what some of the past coaches that still work at GC are saying about him. He is literally up against the entire town who is expecting a 6-4 + season when the talent is there for about 2-8 maybe? I am not sure. 
As far as the AD situation goes... Who cares? besides you of course and a handful of your pals. If it was a problem it would have been fixed. Sour grapes. 

Could it be GC is just that bad? I know a far fetched idea since GC is always on top of their high horse...
Sure play calling and such are important but you could bring any coach into some teams and they won't win... 
Classic GC though, it is not the kids its the coach. You all are starting a vicious cycle with that idea. 

I have a question or two...Considering those links are 3 years old, if there is any merit to those lawsuits, shouldn't those have played out by now? And, if so, wouldn't the AD already be gone if there were anything to any of that? Seems to me, the answer to both of those questions would be "yes" if there were any substance to any of that. I think those are 2 legit questions, though.

Throughout this thread, I've kept wondering a few things...just gonna put 'em out there.
1-Out of the first 4 games, who exactly should GC have beaten?  Looking down the schedule, I don't see a team in those four who GC is better than. 
2-Out of the games left, how many of those should GC be the clear favorite in?  Out of the 6 games left, I only see one team who GC is clearly better than...and that is due in large part to injury.
3-The biggest question is this...with the level of talent currently at GC, I think GC's record is where it would be even if the coach was Nick Saban. 
It's clear to me that GC is just in a sour run when it comes to athletes.  In order to be successful, you have to have athletes and you have to have talent to coach up.  Without that, it doesn't matter who your coach is.  Just my 2 cents.

I guess 14 games qualifies as "insurmountable evidence" these days.  I'll just warn you folks: you're 1-2 coaches ran off away from being Tazewell.

Not sure about the middle school teams. Started travel ball last year. They have played Morristown and Lynn View so far this year and lost to both. The 12U team held good against both before tiring out in the 4th. 

Whoa whoa whoa!!!! They have been involved in a COUPLE of divorce cases?  It's high school football  The tickets were probably worth what 30 or 40 dollars?  I see why people from GC are going nuts on this board. People expect Super Bowl     champions not conference winners. People from other places are going to read this and die laughing. I can see it now. We make it to a state playoff game in football or dare I say basketball and play Gate City       in a region or state game. One of.our students will hold up a sign that says, "My mom got divorced     from my dad in Gate City and all.she got were these crappy football tickets!" I'm not sure how the game   will go on Friday. If Gate City were to lose and someone from Union sees this and the band plays a wedding march if they win, that might be equivalent to Baker Mayfield planting the flag on the O at Ohio State. 
 

"I have been to Legion Field several times and I can't remember a time when the home stands weren't packed, Until this year and we all wondered why GC fans were sitting on the visitors side when there were numerous seats on the home side.  That spoke volumes."
To clarify.........the "home" side at GC is 99% reserved seats for season ticket holders.
GC fans have always sat on the "visitors" side. Generally on about half of the visitors side.
 
 

Some sandwich man said who a few of the posters were, got blocked, made a new user, posted again, got blocked again. I'm sure there are tons of screen shots around. Also said they're making GC look like fools on the message board. Basically all info everyone already knew.

There seems to be one fanbase per year that exposes itself for being knuckleheads.  Hurley was the program last year.  Gate City is on the verge of asking Hurley to hold its beer.

A little bit different but the subject has been on my mind lately. 
 
Say you you were an athletic director or coach. How would you--personally--use athletics to connect with students that have special needs? How do you go about including them if they are able to play?

(1) Why do Gate City's fans whine, cry, and moan like a gaggle of prepubescent schoolgirls over every little thing even tangentially negative about Gate City football?
 
(2) How did you really feel about broadcasting a Richlands defeat while working for the other side?
 
(3) How possible is it that Marion is 7-0 when it hosts Richlands in Week 8?

Correct.

You guys should kill GC but intetested to see how Marion does against Graham and Richlands.
