I just watched the camper road trip clip from Top Gear. I've somehow missed this piece of comedy gold. Jeremy: "Been on the go now pretty much seven hours. Could have flown to New York in that time. But no, here, drizzle, cold, frightened...And all I have to look forward to is camping with...a lunatic and a retard"

Fauci said to "follow the science". Apparently, he meant Political Science.

Chilhowie coach Jeff Robinson nor the announcers seem to understand "Intentional Grounding" in high school. The rule is different than college. The tackle box is not a factor Under NFHS rules, intentional grounding is a foul whenever a legal forward pass is thrown into an area not occupied by an eligible receiver, or when a pass is thrown to prevent a loss of yardage or to conserve time. ... The penalty is 5 yards from the spot of the foul and a loss of down

Nothing moves faster in SWVA than the rumor mill at the Mercer Co. School Board.

Surprisingly, the home team advantage only applied to the past decade. From 1991 -2010, each school had 10 wins with exactly half on their respective home fields.

This rivalry is as even as possible. In the last 10 games, each team has 5 wins. In the last 20 games, each team has 10 wins. In the last 30 games, each team has 15 wins.

I do understand the difference between straight-line speed and football speed. I was just listing their 40 times as one factor to consider for the sake of the debate.

40 speeds: Carson Jenkins 4.4, Sage Webb 4.5, Stevie Thomas 4.52

I think there should be a parade after a Jamboree win.

I have no specific memory of Doug Hubbard, only tremendous admiration for his longevity and success. Even without a title, I still consider him and James Colley among the best ever in SWVA.

I think he's about 6'8", 265 lbs. If that's wrong, a mad mom will set me straight.

Council Cobras need a reboot just to improve the 0-40 all-time record. To guarantee success, their entire schedule could be teams from Eastern KY. FEAR THE SNAKE, BETSY LAYNE!

I've received the vaccine and would consider myself pro-vaccine; but I find the idea of a mandate premature and deeply troubling. Additionally, I'd encourage others to stop the shame and blame tactics. These are not only ineffective, they're actually counter-productive.

True! I was editing my post just as you responded

And once a lifetime there's something like 440 days between games. Well, at least in Virginia

All Four Seasons?

I've been looking for VRBO near the confluence of Mudlick and the Clinch.

You've got fatherhood figured out lol. I can tell you're a great dad.

Surfside is a great compromise if you have kids (or adults) who insist on Myrtle and others who want something more laid back. It's amazing how the atmosphere changes once you're south of Ocean Lakes Campground. Supper at River City Cafe is mandatory.

I love visiting any place where wild ponies outnumber people, such as the Eastern Shore, Grayson Highlands...

37 years! Dang, did Ernie Hicks hire Tarter?

Those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me, Hank and Tennessee... and Hank Jr. and Don and Robin and Billy Dee and Doug and Pharrell...

Baseball wasn't always king at VA High. Ballard Lee and Fred Fisher produced some outstanding basketball and football teams in the 70s and 80s with star players like Darryal Wilson (UT), Oakley Clay, Tyrone Mitchell, Milton Franklin (VT), Mike Pender, Flipper Sensabaugh...

IMO, Joey did a great job here in Marion and would be an excellent hire. He's a proud Lee Co. native who'd understand the unique challenges of the position.

Perhaps I'm missing something as well. The statement regarding Graham and Lebanon seems incorrect. The schools listed below would all be Class 2 under the proposal. "Schools with enrollments of 375 or below would be in Class 1; 376-751 in Class 2; 752-1199 in Class 3; and 1,200 and above in Class 4."
