First off I must say that I hope Jordan is ok and I wish him a speedy recovery. I saw him and Will collide and immediately knew something was wrong. Obviously nobody is smiling because a player got hurt. The refs seemed to make a few questionable calls but I don't think it was that bad. And I'm pretty sure there wasn't any time left on the clock when the ump threw the delay flag. He was too busy staring at his play clock the entire game to be watching the game clock. Holston ran the ball very well tonight. Seemed like they had a lot of 2nd and short situations but just couldn't capitalize. I can see why #15 is the leading rusher in the Hogo. Not a very big back but he's got some moves. Usually the running game opens up the passing game first but for GW tonight the passing game opened up the running game. Jacob threw very well tonight. It's always nice to see the good kids do well. Good win for the Maroons tonight.

I have an idea...maybe we can get the GMan to place subcatagories under the SWVA Football forum title that contain links to every SWVA team. Then each fan can click on his own team and doesn't have to worry about reading about teams other than his own. If he chooses to click on another teams link then he has no right to complain because he clicked on the wrong link! I'm kidding for those of you who don't know better. I say let the Richlands' fans and/or players have their fun. Because next year the superstar player may be on CC's team or Grundy's or maybe even Richland's again. Due to the small schools we have here in SWVA, all it usually takes is one superstar and 10 slightly better than average players to do good. It was Graham when Bradshaw was there and now it's McCracken and Richlands. Am I tired of reading about Richlands in nearly every thread....yes. But I'm also glad that we'll have a team like Richlands to represent the SW district come playoff time. Would you be posting a thread titled "Who Really Cares Anymore" if it were Carroll County doing the butt kicking?

There is really no comparison between GW's performances against Lebanon and RR. They looked horrible in every aspect of the game against RR. Against Lebanon their defense looked really good especially since they were on the field most the night. The offense didn't look bad, just couldn't put any points on the board. I think the Lebanon-RR game will be a good game but Lebanon will have more points on the scoreboard when the final second ticks off.

[ QUOTE ] What do you want? You have four pages of answers and have insulted just about everyone who responded. Maybe you should start the "What if I wasn't an A$$?" thread over on the "I think I'm smarter than everyone" board. [/ QUOTE ] I would but you'd be a moderator on that board as well! Seriously, I assure you all that my intent was not to insult anyone.

I was still hoping for those "intelligent members" input that I was talking about. It would appear as though I need to be much more careful in which questions I ask but that is where I become confused. If you're not supposed to talk about a past game because it's useless and there's nothing you can do about it and you're not supposed to talk about a future game because it's not been played and anything could happen, wouldn't that make 90% of all posts pointless? Never mind, I've learned a much more valuable lesson than the answer to my original question....just don't ask! Apparently is much easier to sit around and wait for somebody else to ask a question then ridicule them for doing so. Next topic please.

ok...great! if it gets me some better answers: "What if Graham had been able to prevent the Richlands special teams performance?" It's just an innocent question....it's hard to know how to put a "what if" question. I can easily accept a loss to Richlands this year or any other team for that matter....I'm not really a "die hard" fan of any team. However, there are several intelligent members on this board whose opinion I value and I thought this was the place to ask.

GHS06, the post you quoted wasn't necessarily directed towards your "what if" questions...at least they were legitimate questions.

Well, I can assure you that Graham is going to be breaking this game down in to as many pieces as they can when they watch the film. You can't just lump the game into one pot and say "ok we just sucked" and go on to the next game. You have to seperate the offense, defense, and special teams in order to find the major meltdown. I agree that one aspect of a game is just as important as the other two when it comes to playing a game....but we should be able to seperate these aspects when analyzing a game.

If you want answers to your own "what if" questions, start your own thread. Bluefield Rules, you may need to go to different website to ask yours. I just wanted to get good opinions on how many of Richlands' points was scored from special teams. If any of you need me to rephrase the question, just ask.

Thanks Blues. Any guesses as to the final score?

I'm not implying that Richlands' special teams play was a fluke against Graham. Richlands dominated that game in every fashion and I think it's a safe bet to say they done the same thing in the previous four games. I'm just asking "what if" for analyzation purposes.

I think it's obvious that Graham still would not have scored in this game but what do you all think the Richlands score would have been if you exclude the awesome special teams performance?

Lebanon has a good program…even when they are supposed to be down, they still have the ability to beat the so-called "better" team. GW's self destruction was inevitable from the beginning of the season. It almost happened last week against Grayson Co. but instead it happened against Lebanon this week. A loss is always the perfect wake-up call for the coaches and the players. GW should chalk this one up as a lesson learned. I can assure you that GW has physical talent but I'm not as confident when it comes to discipline or respect.

After three impressive shutouts, it doesn't appear anybody in this area will be able to hang with Richlands this year...certainly not Rural Retreat.

As a fan of both these teams, I was wondering how they would match up and what would be the outcome if they played. What do you all think? Personally, I think it would be a pretty good game.
