didnt say they would win. I just reminded everyone how richlands was wrote off last year. however it was still a successful season and would have been successful if we only had one win as long as the one win was over the bull pups.

didnt we see the same thing said about grayson county and ridgeview against richlands last year. we all know how that turned out.

You really cant assume 1-4 will win all the time. Just take a look at Richlands last year. They played grayson/Ridgeview and were the underdog in both.  Also an earlier post asked why do you play harder competition during the regular season if you get the same points for playing down. The answer is simple. You play harder compitition so when the playoffs come you are battle tested and ready for the caliber of other playoff teams. Playing weaker teams during the regular season sets you up for a letdown in the playoffs. Just ask the above mentioned teams that Richlands beat in the playoffs last year.

Even though you were being sarcastic it still brings up a good topic for teams playing cupcakes. getting Their goal of not playing tougher competition may be because they know they can win and obtain a higher seed for the playoff with the hopes that playing at home will be to their benefit.
As for rebuilding I will agree that a weaker schedule is the way to go for a team that has been down for several years. Getting some wins may be the only way to generate some excitement and desire to play in up and coming kids. This however is hard to do when there are a couple teams in your district that are big dogs each year.

Look on the bright side canes. you will get either union or RV the first round so the playoffs will be over quick. I for one would be happy as a pig in mud if my team were the 8th seed and got to play after week 10 no matter what their record. But thats the way i am. always looking for a football game even if my home team is not playing.

didnt adkins miss some game time a few weeks ago and then come back in and run the ball sparingly? dont want to put a bad luck curse on the kid but maybe he was injured in that game instead of suffering cramps like was reported. This could be a reason he was coming out in 3rd downs and didnt look like himself. However I will give some of the credit for the low production to the Union D. Those kids are tough.

thx ol dawg. was doing a little number crunching and needed those numbers. much appreciated.

Who let the dogs? The bulldogs will get loose and bite at least 6 teams this year if they can avoid the injury bug. They have talent but might be shallow on bench players which makes staying healthy a must. Will be cheering for them til they play my Blues.

Hope all of SWVA shows up. going to support Graham even though we "hate" them when we play, its circle the wagons take off my Tornado and pull on the big G shirt this Saturday.

I hope the game is on Friday. Saturday games are good but you cant get the feel of a stadiums atmosphere unless you play on Friday night. This will be my first trip to Ridgeview. Hopefully this will be the first game in a new R vs R rivalry.

No matter who gets the job, the culture needs to get back to the way it used to be. focus on football with the kids being the main focus. make it fun again with the most important thing being the kids, not the coach or record. also the GC posters need to be more positive about the program. all the negative posts whether they are about the coaches or program in general are here for all to see including the kids that play at GC. positive energy will go a long way towards improving the mentality of the program because football is not all physical. the mental aspect is a very important part of any athletic program.

sounds good. it will be good to see a strong GC team back on the field. with the way the kids played the last few weeks it seems to me the kids have the talent and the want to. you are also correct about having the right coach for the future. with the right man at the helm I think the kids will be there waiting when the new season comes around.
