Yes to reply to each different section of your post so as to not have a long post makes for easier reading.also you do not know what was in my mind as to my intention in the comments about college you assumed what they were. And you my kind sir were entirely wrong in that assumption.
Ok Ryan I have been on here since 2003 and never been banned.now my original post was a reply to why kids transfer and you replied to I by saying kettle meet pot ant lumping me in with all graham fans that had complained about transfers to Richlands in the past. I did no like that and ask you to look back and see where I had ever said anything about that subject.now this has continued on and on until you get offended about you college but you see I still ask you where in the past have I ever said anything bad towards the transfers. I am no in the group of Graham people that have said things like that and if you cannot find the post where I said that then that is why I said I feel you should appologize to me because you grouped me in with those that have said that in the past. Again I do not post a lot on here nor do I say bad things about others or other teams. I will defend myself and speak my mind and say what I think now and then. I do not know very much about the history of many teams like many on here but again I will not take any crap from anyone without defending myself. I also expect others to do the same with respect. As you see I did appologize to you for hurting your feelings though I think you did not accept it but that is your right. The challenge to you is to find any post or anyone who can tell you that I have posted something negative about this transfers.
If you noticed, I also quoted something Gridiron60 said, and then said it wasn’t aimed at him because he didn’t say what I was referencing. It was nearly a carbon copy of my intentions with you — but keep on thinkin’ otherwise.
It was 100% a dig at my intelligence level and my collegiate degrees, which I don’t take too kindly. That comment is where you got on my radar.
Hurt my feelings? No. Annoyed me when taking a stab at my intelligence? Yes.
Also, is there really a need to have three posts at a time?

Boy for someone who made fun of me for being a “college man,” you sure don’t know how to do the whole grammar thing very well.
Im right here, MP. Where I’ve always been.
Here is a quote from you, “Everyone is acting like these kids transferred to Graham on their own just to play football for the gmen. But that is not the facts. Their parents had to move to bluefield for a reason.”
You are implying that the kids who transferred to Graham all had a reason other than sports, and they they all moved to Bluefield. There may be one or two that didn’t make the specific move for football.
Hell, Booker moved to Richlands and then moved back when he saw the writing on the wall that Graham was going to be better than Richlands.
Ive never held a thing against him. Same as I didn’t when Cody Fuller left for Bluefield. Do what you and your family thinks is the best move for you.
What UVAO (who is a VERY close friend of mine in real life, btw) said backs my point up. Sure. Some do go for legitimate reasons. But most are not. The VAST majority are not. They transfer to chase a ring. And I’m cool with that.
So go ahead and offer your rebuttal about how I’m a “college man” and I should be smarter or whatever it is that you will say. I’ll try to make sense of it.
I am so sorry I hurt your feeling 😢 I appologize will you please find it in your heart to forgive me and my insensitivity towards you.
But see you jumped all over me but left everyone else alone which shows your comment was aimed at me otherwise you would be saying something to others about their transfer comments also or is it that you just dislike me so much
Oh never made fun of you for being college man just made reference to the fact that you are or were in college and you did call me bud which if I wanted to could I could say that you were making fun of me 😏

You are not allowed to tell me what I did or did not mean in my comment. I wrote it, not you. You are not inside my thoughts. I've tried to explain that it came off as directed solely at you, when it was truly you who was the first one to defend transfers as something other than football. 90% of transfers in high school when the kid plays sports is because of said sports. But when Richlands fans tried (they shouldn't have) to defend the transfers to Richlands for the 5-7 years they were present, Graham fans were the first to throw egg on our faces. I just find it funny that now a Graham fan has reversed those same sentiments to defending transfers, just as Blues fans did. It may not have been you (and it wasn't), but you just happened to be the one defending them today.
I'm done with this now. Have a great week!
You just made my point that you were commenting to me and I asked you to look and see where I had ever said anything in the past about Richland's and transfers. I was commenting about transfers and reasons for them and you went after me which you just confirmed.i just said look and see in any of my post which are very few where I said anything about Richland and transfers.
You can also say you’re for a group. Especially if you’re talking to a member of said group. Which you are. You are a Graham fan. If I’m talking to a member of a group, then I’m going to say you’re. It doesn’t take a “college man” to understand that. But thanks for trying to take a jab at my education. 👌🏻
In my post am a group of Graham fans or one. If is am one the the you're would be used in the singular tense hense meaning it was meant for me. If on the other hand if I am more than one fan then it is used in the plural tense then you would be right. But I am only one person so it seems likely to be used in the singular tense.
You can also say you’re for a group. Especially if you’re talking to a member of said group. Which you are. You are a Graham fan. If I’m talking to a member of a group, then I’m going to say you’re. It doesn’t take a “college man” to understand that. But thanks for trying to take a jab at my education. 👌🏻
You were not talking to a group of Graham fans and you know it that is why you made the comment back to my post mind you not others posts quote now you're are upset. Again this was in response to only one post no other post.where others had said something about this subject.
You’re doesn’t have to mean you specifically. It can also be used in the context of an entire fan base, which is the way it was intended. Although I do understand things don’t anyways come off crystal clear through text. You just happened to be the person that said something this time.
You're is you are humm that means one one person not an entire group. Key word is you not they or they're which would mean an entire group. Would think a college man would know that.but you were addressing it to me by using my post not a group of post therefore lending the meaning to bring singular and to only men.
I was proud of the effort and heart that tazewell showed during the game they should do very good they rest of the year and I will be pulling for them to do so.
Notice I said “Graham fans” and not “from ghs73.” You’ll be waiting a long time before you receive an apology from me, bud.
And also look at your statement you said and I quote and now you're upset. Now that is not Graham fans that is at me because you quoted my post.so hummm looks like you need to do a little bit of rereading of your post.
HAHAHAHHAHA. Pot meet kettle. Do you know how many times Richlands fans heard the same things from Graham fans? And now you’re upset?
My how the tides have turned.
Look back in time and find one post where I have ever commented on this subject about Richland's go ahead please take your time and research it. Where in my comment did I say I was mad. I gave reasons why parents transfer their kids and that includes Richland's and other schools. Not just Graham. You just assumed a lot by my handle. But dear sir I live in Staunton Virginia. Now I pull for Graham Richland and tazewell except when the later two play Graham. But still I see lots of kids getting transferred to other schools for many reasons some for the reason to play football. My point is still to you to search and find a post where I said something about Richland's recruiting or getting transfers. I will be waiting for your appology.
To me the biggest impact player on defense is Edwards. The kid is all over the field making tackles. Without the transfers Graham's defense would not be what it is. I don't count Lester as a transfer. Edwards, Ray, and Atkins all three make a big impact not only on defense but offense too. What kid that is standing on the sideline now could come in and make an impact the same way each of those 3 do? I don't know of any myself. I'm not saying Graham wouldn't be good but those 3 help tremendously.
Everyone is acting like these kids transferred to Graham on their own just to play football for the gmen. But that is not the facts. Their parents had to move to bluefield for a reason. Ic might have been for the small town atmosphere,the smaller school and better school. Or it could have been for a job. None of us know why the kids transferred I would guess unless you know them personally but the point is they are at Graham and not at tazewell or any other school and speculating on if they could or could not win without them is a mute point. They beat tazewell. The game is in the past now Graham has Giles to face and tazewell has its next team to worry about. So lick your wounds and move on
2nd offensive series with starters, Lester appears to break a long one that probably would have went to the house. Refs blew it dead apparently qbs cant be tackled in a scrimmage and somebody touched him with a fingernail, I didnt see it. 60 yard td pass to Marcus Ray on next play. Ray showed great athleticism on the play. Cheap shot on Lester after whistle on next play and a skirmish breaks out, several players involved. Both teams get a lecture in middle of field. Deep pass by Lester caught but blown dead, again nobody touched him. For some reasons the refs are not on the field anymore but the coaches apparently have decided to keep going.
Ref leave the game after this play and getting scolded by both coaches for their calling of the game. Also Christiansburg decided not to scrimmage either team and the refs then left the area.
