    R0cketer got a reaction from BandanaVTDavis4321 in Richlands incident   
    I had seen the video earlier, was wondering if it would trend, guess so.   Pretty sure there is enough blame to go around.   While the coach did probably push and grab, he didn't swing.  At that point he also could play the card of protecting the girls, assuming that with what the guy was saying, he intended harm.   His saving grace, to me at least, is he didn't swing or anything and was pretty much immediately, as soon as he kind of had him restrained, was motioning for others to come and get him.    It's being blown up more than it really should be in that nobody threw any punches (like the infamous little league brawl from a couple years ago....wait Central was involved there too, wasn't it....do they provoke everybody??? *lol*)    With the way the guy was leaning into it, and since it sounds like he had been a problem before, there is the possibility of playing the protecting players card, afterall nobody else was there to it and he didn't know, he controlled the scene and requested back-up.   I'd think since the guy had coached a long time in the past apparently and unless he had issues before, it sort of makes it easy to point in one direction as the fault at least.

    Graham is using their speed incredibly well so far.   Big plays on returns, and runs.  Quick off the ends not giving QB much time.  RV is in the game which is helpeful, thye are going to have to make some adjustments, they play   Graham is physical, borderline dirty on some shots and got some calls for that.  Part of that is to get in RV head no doubt, and it's working on the QB (IMO).   As always I hate an announcer that is a cheerleader more than an announcer.   Don't like it when it's for us, or against us, just takes away from the game to me.

    I'd take Beavers over Hill, but they do forget about Hill.  They forget about a lot, but offensively speaking it's a pretty young staff and that will get better with experience.
    Grahams front 7 is very good and play a very agressive scheme. There's no time for deep passes, you gotta get the ball out now

    Crazy how often that Ridgeview forgets their best player is Hill. 
     
    Graham’s front 7 is too good for 5 step drops when you have no threat to run.

    Also go with the common assessment, when you win a lot, the fans end up being idiots too much.   Just like cheering them on, the negative energy goes and causes them to blow up on stupid stuff.    I say this from seeing my team and fans do it before too.

    There is a risk/reward thing there, sometimes it can come off as a bit much but with the chance to get fast clock, it can help because you keep players off the field more, reduce chance of injuries on something stupid.

    R0cketer got a reaction from VHSLhelper in Playoff Round One Score Updates   
    From the broadcast, Ridgeview went for it on 4th and goal from the 5 and it sounds like caught it on the 1/2 yard line.   Sounds like was a lot ot confusing on catch, non-catch, in end zone, not in end zone, but Richlands got the ball inside the 1, I think tried once up the gut and generally nothing and then pitched wide and didn't escape.  Take it as absolute non-gospel though lol

    I watched this on NFHS and it was a crazy game. First of all hats off to both teams. Neither one quit. I know most (including me) thought Ridgeview would win this game, but how it turned out I feel like this a huge win for the program. 
    In the game, both offenses were able to get to the red zone, but both struggled.   RV only scored on 2of 4 trips. Richlands’ had 5 field goals on their trips. Webb hit a big run in the 2nd quarter and the kickoff return late in the 4th. 
    Rv just had no consistent running game which will probably cost them next week, but the kids need to enjoy this one.

    Amen.   I don't want to listen to coverage that isn't at least mostly neutral.  I don't mind a bit of hometeam bias,it's hard to not get that when there are stations that tend to cover only one team and I get it a bit more in the playoffs because its the end for pretty much all of the senior kids and the emotion at the end, sadness, saying close calls and been different, etc. but this one just bad.   I try to not criticize the coverage because I'm always glad when someone is covering the games, but this was one where I multiple times turned the coverage off and would come back later to get an update.   I'm fine listening to specific teams home stations/coverages most of the time, you get a lot of it and understand the hometeam support but it was past that line and into the gag worthy.

    You're posting here complaining about it. Therefore, it would be logical to conclude you saw something HERE.
    If you're referring to social media, then go THERE and complain.
    If a team's fanbase was judged solely by negative posts on Facebook or Twitter then there wouldn't be a single fanbase, at any level,  with a good reputation. 
    Social media brings out the worst in people. It also gives the dumbest of people a platform.
    It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you're a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
    That quote is often attributed to Mark Twain, but social media is a constant reminder of how true it is.

    Radio said ended up with something around 240, so probably at least 200, maybe up to 250.   Sounded like he may have had a small injury or been a bit under the weather, as they didn't use him much , and he was out some, but considering that he played some in the third, and knowing Coach Mullins, it must have been very minor or equipment or something because there is no chance he would have had him in in there was any real issue.

    Sort of obvious Central is doing some things right.   Not sure that they are able to beat Ridgeview right now but it wouldn't shock me if they give them a battle.   Central will be ready for it, and the problem with Ridgeview so far has been playing a full game.   If Central can stay in it and put the pressure on Ridgeview, it could be interesting.

    R0cketer got a reaction from CoachT423 in Ridgeview at Burton -- Thursday   
    I think/hope it was the inexperienced secondary players playing a we aren't sure what this team is going to do defense.    I don't think its too hyper critical of the defense.  13, when one score is a kickoff.  short field due to turnovers, some apparent personnel problems in the last few days at Norton with an us versus the world thing kind of going.   RV has to kind of expect the best of every team this year.   They did what a good team should do, not panic when someone counter-punches back but continue to punch themselves.   Curious on the players quitting or being booted, but knowing the ship that Coach Mullins runs, maybe there was some selves instead of team guys.   I'd dare say at least one or more was on special teams due to the problems there.
