Did anyone else read the topic and think that Travis Turner had resigned?

I didn't realize Cotton's had become a BBQ joint. An old friend of mine used to eat burgers and drink beer at Cotton's everyday like it was his day job.

It's either a down cycle of talent or Chris Akers.

It was likely just a bizarre KY insult unless he referred to your pretty mouth.

The final twist on Field-Gate was that the concession stand at Northwood was not opened, which meant ~5,000 hungry fans descended on Chilhowie after the game.

Nothing good comes from playing HS football in Kentucky.

IMHO, Jamie Harless is the best h.s. coach in Virginia without a title. He's turned a perennial doormat into a top-level 3A program. Nothing against the Beavers, but LB wins going away.

I have one question after week two. Will Graham be hosting their state semi game this year?

Is that against the rules?

I'd love to check out the new Bulldog Radio network but that would mean not listening to Kicks Country 106.3 (the gold standard for high school football broadcasts)

A deliberate mondegreen that's neither original nor funny.

@Tiger 2000, is there a good reason you're berating a kind and respected member of this forum? @Blue 72 simply gave his opinion and you've responded with three blatantly disrespectful and arrogant comments.

Note to self: Don't use trigger words like "weapons" or "playmakers" when discussing Richlands.

The combined results of the WDBJ, WSLS, and Timesland Week 1 polls 1. Lord Botty 2. Evil Empire 3. The 'Burg 4. EC Glass 5. Radford T-6. Franklin Co. T-6. Galax 8. Magna Vista 9. Pulaski Co. 10. Heritage

All sports dynasties eventually decline and most will hit rock-bottom. Some teams are able to rise from the ashes and be great again. It happened to Graham (see 2010) and now they're back. It happened to Gate City (see 2018) and they're laying the foundation for their rebuild. It's likely to get worse at Richlands before it gets better.

I think I've listened to Ron Brown call most of these classic games and concur with those listed. 200 wins is impressive for any coach, but I think Mance's accomplishment is especially remarkable for several reasons: 1. It didn't that long. 23 seasons is a fairly short career to reach this milestone. 2. He got a late start. He didn't become HC until his mid-30s and he's still only in his 50s. 3. He inherited a program in turmoil. 'Nuff said. 4. He had a slow start. His record after 3 seasons was a pedestrian 14-18, which meant he averaged more than 9.7 wins over the next 19 seasons. 5. Not a lot cupcakes. The SWD wasn't always tough, but the OOD always was.

Never bet against the large, nocturnal, semi-aquatic rodents. Bluefield by 7.

Give the pressure washer guy a raise! The new scoreboard looks sharp, but I hope GC never replaces those old-school goal posts.

They'll beat Marion and stake claim to this majestically beautiful trophy.

Nice one...a literal lol

Marion's new helmets: "Design by Committee"

I don't see Chilhowie having a single standout, but the Warriors have a whole slew of potential playmakers. Keep an eye on Logan Adams, Malachi Thomas, Lucas Doss, Jonathon Gilley, Jordan Williams, and Kyle Plemmons . These are just some of last year's underclassmen that gave CHS such depth. I'm not predicting another 10-0, but every regular season game is winnable.

You have a damn Pal's and Tokyo, get over the fact that your football team isn't very good anymore and celebrate the good! Even in the 70s and 80s, they lived it up. When the rest of us were at home eating red dogs with chili sauce, the folks in Lebanon dined on world famous foot longs at their new Weiner King franchise. Clearly there's a lack of appreciation by locals for that gastronomic nirvana that is Lebanon.

The helmet reminds me of the NY Giants logo during that era, More personally, it evokes memories of Brannon Breeding and his relentless running style.
