    I am pretty sure Gate City has used forum posts and newspaper quotes as locker room material during the Colobro days. 
     
    It can be a motivational technique.
     
    I am certain they are not the first or the last to do so. 
     
    Coaches, teachers, professors, and bosses read social media quite frequently.

    I wouldn’t say that. They have 2 state championships in football to my knowledge. 
    And they have made it deep in the playoffs the past few seasons. They have lost to better teams. Graham was simply better than Goochland, just like Appomattox was in 2016.

    That’s a fancy way of saying you are arrogant. 
     
    A lot of people here know very very well what constitutes a good team. Far SWVA has produced many of them in the past. Riverheads is playing one of them this afternoon. Riverheads beat that same good team last season.

    It will most likely be safe to play the championship on Saturday, even if the possibility holds up. 
     
    Right now Sunday seems like the danger day, assuming it all holds up. Models are beginning to agree on the possibility. They’ll be more sure in a couple of days.

    I live in Roanoke and they are still keeping a close eye on it. At the moment they THINK—based on models—that any snow will be late Saturday night and early Sunday morning into Monday. It will probably change a thousand times before then. 
     
    If it tracks the way the European model currently shows then it will be snowy.

    Bands definitely have a place in a football discussion. In the stands they are part of the atmosphere for the game. You have Tennessee playing Rocky Top, Vt playing Carry me Back, GC doing some of their pep tunes, etc. If fans and cheerleaders are part of the conversation then so is the band. 
     
    Second, these days you see more shows with less familiar music because those shows win. It hasn’t always been that way. When Graham’s band was under Mr. Brown they would win with Blues Brothers. I think (don’t quote me) that Holston one year did a Michael Jackson show and got a superior at state assessment. I can’t remember. 
     
    I see GC winning this game if they can hang on to the ball.
