On the podcast you said you couldn't root for Tazewell or Graham in the playoffs, so why be mad that he's not rooting for Richlands to make the playoffs? 

Virginia High - 7
Grundy - 0
FINAL (OT)

How about you show me where I said that... Because I didn't.
As a matter of fact, I said, "Anything can happen in the Backyard Brawl."
THIS game will not be close.

First he discovers that Pocahontas is a real place and once had a high school, now he learns the geography of Southwest Virginia.
Tomorrow we'll begin with shapes! 

Cool. Nobody asked. 

I am so impressed with Tazewell's grit and resolve this year.  I had this team pegged as an 0-10 team for sure, but that team isn't quitting.  They may not make the playoffs but you have to come away with respect.

I don't know about anyone else, but If this guy is joking, it's just plain out aggravating in my opinion.

That one win tho...lol

Stop spamming threads.

Yea they got flat out whipped!! I also didn't come on here claiming they were going to shut down Grundy either. I was just trying to help you take off your blue sunglasses.

I'm going by the fact that I did play by play on the radio broadcast. :)
It was game one and both teams played sloppy but Grundy had their chances to win that game. 

Does anyone remember "goalie" on here from Carroll County? 

Skyler Simcox (AHS 2015) has accepted a scholly to WVU.  He has to sit this year but then has 2 to play 2. Kid started at E&H, transferred to Western Ky, then got put on the Lou Groza watch list.  Then WVU offered him a ride and he jumped at it.  Good on him!  Good for SWVA football!!!

Richlands and.... everybody.  During my formative years it seemed that every opponent was particularly hostile to us (even when we weren't particularly good -- which didn't make much sense).  But maybe that was just the nature of the old SWD.
The hatred of Richlands was somewhat understandable in basketball.  During the successful stretch beginning in 1982/83 we were beating teams more often than not.  And at home games we had a student section (the Krazy Korner) that was deliberately obnoxious.  But sometimes we were on the receiving end of animosity from sources that also didn't immediately make a lot of sense -- specifically Virginia High, Lebanon (although that subsided once they moved from the old gym in Cleveland), and Patrick Henry.
Otherwise there were specific sports and programs that had particular rivals.  Probably like everyone else, Grundy was the primary target in wrestling (although that was probably one sided because the Golden Wave usually had bigger fish to fry than any of us).  Band (yeah, seriously) bore some specific animosity toward John Battle and Pulaski County.  Graham was usually the measuring stick for both tennis teams.  And although it's not a specific example per se, our performance in the Coppinger Tournament was always a big deal in baseball.
Tazewell was always the main rival in all sports.  Graham and Grundy (due to proximity and long histories with each) were also targets of widespread scorn.  But the fun thing about those rivalries was that as much as we would beat the tar out of each other on the field/court and absolutely hated the thought of losing to those guys, we all had pretty good friendships outside of the actual contests and rivalries.  (And on a personal note, I still crack up when I remember how Cary Perkins would make a big show of turning off his hearing aids before he approached the free throw line.)

The Richlands/Grundy used to be a decent rivalry until recently. Usually a good game and always a great crowd.

Is the curse of Oak Island real? 

Immature or not, there are rules here.  Don't like them...you know the rest.
 
 
 

Check out this nice lid in SWVA 

Much more manageable.  Inclines and declines aren't nearly as sharp or steep.

Any info on tazewell jamboree?
