My go-to is the BBQ Bacon Burger w/ holy cheezus. Something about grilled cheese sandwiches, a big beef patty, bacon, and BBQ pulled pork......guess I know where I'm going to lunch today.

Jesus Christ. Just get over it man.

Will say this which will probably sum up all three schools issues with passing basing it off of the RIchlands/Wilson game.  You cant throw lobs downfield on more athletic defenses as WM was.  When River would throw a fastball we had a completion but when he threw lobs, obviously those were picked, except for the one tipped by our receiver then tipped by their defender and eventually picked off.  The speed IS a factor once you get to and past Roanoke.  Our running game was 50/50 for this game and our only score was a rushing TD by River.  Felt we could/should have run the ball a little more but our bread and butter was passing and our gameplan was passing.  Just so hard to do in pouring rain and against more athletic and quick secondarys.  Defensively, however, Richlands was just as good at covering their recievers when they tried to throw and had a INT as well.  Think their QB was 2-10 or 3-10 passing so argument on my end may be nullified but that's just how I saw it.

Blues_56, you sure you werent at the Haysi/Essex game?

Just wanted to wish the folks from Haysi and Richlands safe travels today and good luck to you and Honaker tomorrow. This ole Blue Devil will be pullin hard for you all this weekend. Best of luck!

I was looking today, GC leads the series with Richlands 23-22-1. I'd say that constitutes a pretty good rivalry.

Well, got to watch some extensive film today on WM.  My thoughts are their defense is stifling against the run, don't think quite tested like they will be against River and the spread, will be new to them and not saying they wont be able to cover but it may very well be a offense they will have to adjust to.  For them offensively, pound the rock....three yards is a victory.  Most of their scoring drives came 6-8-10 minutes long.  Our defense MUST have some tackles for loss or no gain.  #88 is seventy freaking feet tall (not really obviously, but very tall)....if they wanted to do a jump ball to him every play, not quite sure we have anyone that can out jump him.  Summary:  RIchlands OFFENSE will be the key in this game.  River and company will need to be in the same mode they were in against GC and Marion and I have no doubt that they will be.  As always it starts up front and I like our chances with our OL.  REALLY, really excited for this game and cannot wait until Saturday to see this game go down.  Depending on what time the cool front moves through the region it could be a rainy game, and as always   THE STORM IS COMING NORTH ON 81.  See you at the game!!

Agreed Ryan, we need to flood the stadium and I think we will. Giles was packed out last year and the weather is suppose to be nice. If not, the true blue fans can be just as loud. Agree attendance for away games this year is not what it has been though and that's a shame. I remember playing at Graham my junior year and the visitor side was so full there weren't any seats available.

You're not going to see four to a room. If you want your players rested, you won't put four teenage boys in the same room, test me. Two to a room and those two be the opposite of character/personality, if that makes sense

Just want to say good luck to both teams and hope for no injuries. BUT,  I want to call out our (Richlands') fans this week because it was embarrassing last week from a former player's standpoint looking in the stands and seeing not even a half full stadium.  Hope Bristol and RIchlands packs the joint out and makes for not only a great game but great atmosphere for the kids, they DESERVE fans showing up.  GO BLUES!! What was it Cola always said, "The Storm is brewing"......Richlands 28 VHigh 27
