I know who Jason is. Let me tell you this, I I will leave it alone because I still have PTSD over this guy. He wears overhauls. He's a big dude. I went camping one year in Pennsylvania at this awesome little teenage summer camp called Crystal Lake. It's a cool place, but a little creepy. Turns out, Jason was there, and he came after a me and my friends with a machete and successfully killed some of them. His own mother supported him with the crimes!!! They never caught the dude and years later, I'm working in Manhattan, NYC, and low and behold, guess who shows up? Yep, Jason. He had made it up to Manhattan! This is a dangerous individual and true story folks, very true!

Strangerdanger and 1wing, you guys need to take a breather men.  Best wishes to the Spartans on the rest of the season.  

We've had some at Radford for years. We had people wanting Coach Lineberg gone and you could never please em. Even at the booster meetings, always an argument or complaint. Long on problems and short on solutions.

Your argument. Giles talent level is the same as 10 years ago and the problem is the coaches. The coach was once solid,, but now is not good. That makes you.........not smart. Everything that has followed has been meaningless babble and you sir, are soon to get the hammer. 

I feel the hammer coming on. You will not be here long. I also know who you are.

Once again, another personal emotion filled insult where you simply don't say anything. That means you have lost the argument. You actually never had one to start with.

All I here from you two lugnuts are emotion.  You give ZERO reasons as to how the numbers you give ARE what they ARE, or the WHY behind the numbers.  That's the part that you two don't seem to get through those thick emotional skulls.  I can assure you, if Giles were go 10-0 next year, Williams would be the greatest Coach in the world again and he would all of a sudden in your minds, "be refocused for 2023."  You two basically don't know what you are talking about and everytime you post, you make arses of yourselves.  99% of reasonable people on this board over the years know and understand (and have stated it) that Giles has a talent problem compared to where we were.  It's absolutely noticeable.  You can only coach a 180 lb left guard so much.  You can only coach a 135 pound running back and safety so much.  That guard or safety could be incredible also, but when he goes against the 230 lb Galax defensive tackle, he's not going to win, or when the 140lb safety goes to tackle the 200 lb plus Galax running back, he will get that tackle some, but sooner or later by the 2nd half, he's not. 
Our line has been noticeably SMALL the past 6 or so years.  I know it's a stretch for you two, because you would actually have to THINK back 10 years, (not easy for many in 2022 because EMOTION trumps any rational thought) but if you are able to do it, compare the differences in size from those teams and now.  Forget about looking at the starters, just look at the team photos.  I know this hurts because if you can "feel"<-----your driving force that Giles has a coaching problem, then that's a "simple one person problem" and it sets better with you emotionally.  If Giles has a talent problem, then that's a whole other ballgame.  You know that it's not a one person fix and that it's a deeper and more complicated thing to fix, and that bothers you because you aren't in as much control emotionally anymore.  Richlands has gone through the same thing the past 5 or so years and their fans are now realizing it.  They are even finally admitting on this board that the talent simply is not what it once was.  These talent cycles happen.  It's a real thing whether you want to admit it or not (and you don't.)  You are giving concrete numbers (which are good numbers) but you aren't giving the accurate meaning as to the WHY those numbers are that way.

It's weird that presenting a talent cycle or talent up or down scenario is some "foreign" concept to you. That's equally comical. You don't even acknowledge talent levels. It's completely off the table to you. You don't acknowledge numbers/student population. Ragsdale had way more to choose from and he had no social media interference or cell phones for most of his career, and once a program was rolling, keeping it that way was easier than today.
You are giving valid numbers without giving valid rationale as to why those numbers are what they are. Williams has done well, especially early on. You do NOT go from being a great coach to a poor coach. In your emotional mind, you may feel different, but by in large, it doesn't work that way. 
I think you are a little concrete, and never fully reached formal operations with reasoning. Add in the 2022 emotional based par-for-the-course argumentative style, and it tells me you don't know Shit from Shinola

We have a talent drop/talent cycle down this is the culprit. It's Obvious guys. It's Obvious. If you've watched Giles football for decades, you can see with your eyes and know when we have talent/talent cycle up and talent down, or talent medium (which is where we are now). We will be back. Our coaching is solid in my opinion. Future looks good at Giles.

What's more plausible is not 'what's possible", but what is Obvious and clearly in front of your eyeballs. Our talent level is nowhere close to what it once was, and home fans and away and neutral fans have been commenting on it on this board for years. 

You are ALWAYS going to have that small crowd that will constantly blame coaching. They are in every town. They are on every message board. From Giles, I present the two tokens....Stranger danger (who's time here is limited) and 1wingit23.  We've seen a couple from Appalachia/Big Stone wanting Turner fired. The world is full of tokens. It's scary though...we let em drive and vote. Thank God we don't let em become nuclear power plant operators.

Common sense football says when the other team has an explosive offense and you have a run first offense use every second of that game clock and shorten the game. Thats not playing not to lose that a pretty decent game play that works for a lot of teams

Bobob I think so too. They also used the words to describe the announcer as He or She. It's a matter of time before those words are also replaced.

Martinsville has already beat Glenvar at Glenvar 21-14. Should start finding out more about the Dogs next week as we go to undefeated 4A Halifax Co. Then we still have games with 3A Magna Vista, Bassett and Tunstall and 4A GW-Danville. Also 2A games with Chatham and Patrick Co., so Martinsville still has a long way to go. We do have alot of speed, 2A 100 meter state champion had 318 yards on 17 carries Friday night with 5 tds. But we're young in the line and it all depends how they hold up.

No Class 1 teams and very few Class 2 teams will have the athletes Radford has. But Galax needs to get something else going if for no other reason than to give Tedrhun a break. I'm sure he slept well after 43 carried and LB duties. 

If Graham or RV were to run table or Union runs table with only 1 loss on season, keep your eyes on Raddy vs CBurg this upcoming weekend. That game could be the decisive game if we win region that will decide if we host or travel in the semi's IF we win Region.  1 loss Union Reg D winner and 1 loss Raddy will be close in points. An undefeated Graham or RV Region D outpoints 1 loss Radford. Huge game this weekend for us.

Parker lines up some at RB, WR, and he's a DB. I agree with yall on Raddy beating Graham. If we meet again, and lots of ball left, a big if but until we beat the Gmen, it would be tough to pick us. Our team this year is pretty solid though. We would have a decent shot this year.

Graham's defense is pretty good.  They have some weapons on offense and it is coming along.  Last year, the defense improved as the season went on, this year, I guess it's the offenses turn.  If Galax can throw the ball and protect the qb long enough to get some throws off, they may pose a challenge.   I don't think they will be able to run much on Graham.

Both teams are good...officiating is suspect all over.  Always friendly rivals but always respect one another.  I don't believe in witches, except for my wife (born on Halloween) and I took a double shot of Dramamine...or bourbon...not sure which...

No but I'm a Raddy Homer.  But, Graham is better on the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. 

Don’t some of y’all have a yard to mow or something 😂. 

This year, I would love to have the wiggle room that speed and talent affords. A penalty kills the drive for less talented teams.
