I will add this. Due to the miniature bleachers I was able to hear a lot of things. If you scream, and I mean scream, at the Graham staff, and everybody knows they can hear you, then you embarrass yourself beyond words. I respect our coaches more than ever after listening the stuff I heard tonight. Sure, they are struggling to win on the field right now, but I respect them as people.

Went to the game.  Tazewell has a tremendous team, but Graham's Defense had more holes in it then my old sweatsocks...... I hope it gets better, fast.  I may have to take back my 7 win season prediction a lot sooner than I thought I would.  Still have faith that they will straighten things out...but Tazewell got over 500 yards of offense and made Graham look really, really bad.  Tazewell looked sharp, I like the new uniforms and the new attitude and the new intro.....they looked great tonight and they had a great crowd.  Glad to see some good things happening for the Buldogs.

And do something about the nasty bathrooms!

Unless it does...

Most of this rant I'm about to go on is not directed at you vtdavis, so please forgive me.  
 
You can't blame Williams for that first year.....he had been with the team for about a month.... Also, I've been watching Bluefield play for 40 years.  This is, in my humble opinion,may be  the best offensive team they have ever put together.  (with possibly the exception of 2004).
 
Bluefield put up a lot of points on everybody last season, not just Graham.
 
I'm sick and tired of hearing the complaining about Graham's coach....I'm more sick than tired of it  The attitude of some so called Graham fans just plain sucks.  Most football coaches have a prickish nature (it comes with the job), deal with it. 
 
Williams has put the pieces into place.  A good head coach gathers the right pieces.  Some of you all may not like it, but he has brought in some good coaches, maybe they are not the good old boys that everybody likes, but they know football.  The Defensive Coach has 43 freaking years of experience and coached at Multi-State Champion Salem.....but you have given his defense a total of ONE game to get used to the system.  I don't care what any of you say about how basic the "Salem 53" defense is.  It may be a basic defense, but it takes time to learn it, just like anything else and these young kids will catch on soon enough.  There are several kids playing in different spots.  I don't know about you folks, but I trust the judgment of somebody who has coached for 43 years better than the people I hear complaining about it.
 
Nothing has been wrong with the offense the past 3 seasons, it's been the defense and Williams has addressed the issue.
 
Give it a rest!, Give it some time! and for Pete's sake support the team!

Can a referendum bring the hammer out?

Graham picks off 3 passes and wins this, 35-28. The crappy field keeps them under 40 (and the crappy stands keeps me wondering what's going on). The G-Men are just sick with athleticism and they gain confidence every week going forward.

Or, maybe, you wanted to be on his staff...you do seem to have a bone to pick with Coach Williams...

I would say the coach has his good reasons for starting Monday, and given that nobody wants to see the team win more than him,I'm cool with it. I'm happy with the course we are on, and can't wait for some Graham football. If the youth comes on quick, and folks adjust to new roles,then we can be very good. I'm going,,,,,,7 and 3.

I plant my flag with the GMan and EH31.
