WeirFootball

I'll be there Friday and I'll be rooting for the Beavers until the state championship game if both they and Weir earn a trip to play for the title. Everyone who is going, drive safely.

Look man, invited walk on and walk on are two different things. Coach Rod, or any other D1 coach, has to think you can play at that level to offer you an invited walk on. Anyways, I don't play the victim. I listen to all the smack talking, some not even on the boards, from Bluefield fans and I don't let it bother me. I'll state my opinion. And if you have a personal problem w/ me, you can come find me in Charleston. I'll be there and you can talk to me about it then.

I love how I am supposed to take crap from people, but I can't say anything back b/c some people can't take the heat. I can see a little bit of a double standard there. You did lose to Poca and I'm friends w/ Sotelo, Santmyer, and White, and I can still say Bluefield had the better team talent wise that year just as I am saying I believe Weir was the most talented team this past season in AA even though they didn't win the state championship. I care so much about what happened this season b/c I have a lot of friends who were on the team that I played w/ when I was in high school. Me and a few other seniors lifted w/ the team after our loss to Bluefield and I saw how hard they worked and to see them lose like that bothred me a lot. I have my dignity, so don't start anything w/ that. I really wish Cooper was playing in the tourney b/c I'd like to see him and Coeburn go at it on the boards but it's not going to happen. Anyways, good luck and I hope we meet the Beavers eventually!!!

You brought up me saying at the beginning of the year that Weir had too much talent for anyone in AA. No other team had more talent than Weir. Bluefield executed in their game w/ Weir but weren't more talented. You might say that I'm going back to this like a broken record, but it shows when Weir has kids playing in schools bigger than the WVIAC.

[ QUOTE ] Actually I do know the story b/c I was one of the Bluefield fans you sat with along with the chic from Poca and then ventured over to meet Pioneer_PA during halftime. [/ QUOTE ] Okay, I know who you are now. However, I wouldn't gloat as much as some Bluefield fans. I made the comment that Weir would be the most talented team in 05, and was I wrong? They might not have won the state title, but was there any team that had more talent than they did?

[ QUOTE ] No you haven't, you've not had to listen to anything. It's by choice that you visit this board and other high school boards. I don't believe anyone forced you to visit those boards, especially this one where so many Bluefield fans post. And considering this is merely a region website and the fact you're tired of hearing about Bluefield I'm confused as to why you still visit here... [/ QUOTE ] Actually, I do b/c I'm friends w/ a few people from Bluefield. I even went down to the Bluefield/Wayne game since the Island is only about 30 min. from my house and sat w/ these people on the Bluefield side and congratulated them when the Beavers won. Even though I'm friends w/ them, they still give me a hard time about the game to this day, so it would be nice to get a little redemption at the basketball tournament. See this is what I mean. You don't know the whole story by saying I don't have to visit these boards. As I've said, I'm friends w/ some Bluefield fans and talk to them on a regular basis, and I also post on B&G news' boards, and Bluefield fans' have boasted on their as well. But it's all in good fun I guess.

[ QUOTE ] Let's see, a Weir fan (you) believing in his or her team is simply a fan standing behind their team. However, a Bluefield fan believing in his or her team is "arrogance?" [/ QUOTE ] I have had to listen to all the Bluefield talk since the game this past season at Mitchell Stadium. Instead of being greatful that you pulled off a miracle in a hard fought game between two great teams, you have to show arrogance. So yes, I'm going to come on here and back my team and I do believe we can take the whole thing in Charleston, no matter what anyone else thinks. As I've said, I want to meet Bluefield b/c it would make the tournament that much better!!!

[ QUOTE ] Are you serious? Your the person who came on here and said that your going to kill us if we play yall in the championship....You should just be quiet untill you get to the big game...How does that sound? Cuz frankly most of us are tired of hearing you talk crap all the time.. [/ QUOTE ] I never said we were going to whip anyone down there. I said I think we have a good shot of winning the whole thing, and I strongly believe that. I'd like to see them play Bluefield b/c of what happened w/ football this season and b/c I have some friends that are Beaver fans and it would be nice to have something to brag about. I don't care if you're tired of what I say b/c I post my opinion, which is the point of message boards, and I don't break any of the rules so I'm going to keep posting what I think.

[ QUOTE ] and lets hope Weir gets knocked out in rnd 1...id hate for those good people to get their hopes up AGAIN...hahahaah [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, keep thinking that and it will be a dissapointing loss at the hands of the Red Riders. The arrogance will make the victory that much better.

[ QUOTE ] Well aren't you all seeded 6th???? [/ QUOTE ] I have no idea other than they never give any teams from up North any respect. We were seeded 5th in the football playoffs and everyone knows we were much better than that seeding. Like I said, you'll be suprised w/ Weir's team!!!

[ QUOTE ] That is, if you get there too! Which i doubt will happen... [/ QUOTE ] Ok, all I have to say is we'll see. How can you say that when you've never seen Weir play. They are AAAA OVAC champs and have an impressive 18-6 record. In our divsion in the OVAC, there are teams like Steubenville Big Red(OH), Brooke(AAA) who beat Park, John Marshall(AAA), Beaver Local(OH), and Park just to name a few. Those are all quality teams and we are the CHAMPIONS, so I wouldn't take Weir lightly.

[ QUOTE ] Thats why logan is going to put your butt out in the opening round! [/ QUOTE ] We'll see. I love the cockiness here. I can't wait to beat you guys in the championship, if you get there!!!

[ QUOTE ] Thats why you think... I see differently, i see a long ride back to weirton in your future! [/ QUOTE ] Ok, we'll see. WHEN we beat you, if you get to the championship, I'm acting wild at the Civic Center b/c of all the stuff I had to hear about football this year. You guys can sign the state championship shirt after i get it!!!

[ QUOTE ] one game at a time, and if the Beavs take care of business and Weir just so happens to fall into place for them, then they can focus on breakin hearts up north once again...Go Beavers [/ QUOTE ] I highly doubt that. If we get to meet Bluefied in the championship, you'll be taking home the runner-up trophy back to Bluefield!!!

[ QUOTE ] i drove , i think it was 1500 miles total to see the Beavers win it all in Wheeling so if things work out, you know ill drive to Charleston so see em hopefully win another title [/ QUOTE ] They'll have to go through Weir first Tom, and I think it won't be the outcome you're hoping for haha!!!!

I REALLY would like to a Weir/Bluefield state title game. Hopefully both teams can win their first two games and meet for the championship!!!

[ QUOTE ] you never heard him say it b/c perhaps he was talking ABOUT you?? hahahahaha..ease up, it was a joke...lol [/ QUOTE ] Tom you love joke around, but that's why I like you buddy lol. As I said though, I didn't hear him say anything like that, but I'm not saying it didn't happen when Coeburn was there. On a different note, I think Rusty will learn a lot from former Kennedy Award winner and current WVWC QB, Mark Kimes. He's a real nice guy too. I got the opportunity to meet him when I was staying w/ a friend that plays baseball for Wesleyan.

[ QUOTE ] if coach rod doesnt think im talented enough, dont hurt my feelings one bit because i dont agree with some of the things hes done especially at the football camp, especially callin lil kids pecker-heads, im not blowin air ether i hurt this with my own ears. [/ QUOTE ] I also don't agree w/ some of the things that he does and I attended w/ the WVU camp w/ Shumake(#22 from last year) before my senior year and I never heard him say anything like that. I'm not saying I don't believe you, I'm just saying I didn't hear him say anything to that effect when I was there. It's not just Coach Rod that thinks he's extremely talented. Rivals.com has him listed as the #33 LB in the country. Rusty, I wish you and the rest of your team good luck at states and I hope you guys play Weir. It seems like whenever these two schools meet in either football or bball, it always comes down to the last second.

[ QUOTE ] Which I still say we won the state title in the semi-final game agaisnt a great Weir team. [/ QUOTE ] Thank you for the compliment about Weir's program and I agree w/ that statement.

Thanks BluefieldRocks, I'm glad soomeone agrees w/ me lol.

[ QUOTE ] cooper might be a better player than me, but i trade indivdual talent for team unity any day of the week cause it takes all 11 people on the field to win ball games, and thats not degrading cooper or ne body on weirs team(before i forget good luck to weir up state, up to play you guys and some1 tell me why cooper isnt playin) [/ QUOTE ] Cooper isn't playing b/c of an ankle injury. He's been out most of the season. I never said Coeburn wasn't a good player, b/c he has to be if he was selected first team captain on O. He has a lot of talent and potential and I would have liked to see him walk on at Marshall, but if he feels Wesleyan is a better fit for him, I wish him the best of luck. Saying Cooper is a better player than anyone isn't trying to belittle someone or question their ability on the football field. Cooper is the type of athlete that doesn't come around very often and I'm glad I was able to play w/ him at Weir. IMO, he is a better player and Coach Rod obviously agrees as well, but Bluefield fans rightfully think Coeburn is better b/c they are going to back their team and the players on that team. I respect all of your opinions, and I just want you guys to do the same for me.

[ QUOTE ] A fan comfortable in their team doesn't need to tear down another's team to make their own look good. [/ QUOTE ] I didn't tear down anyone's team. I stated my opinion, which was that Weir had the better team the past two years but we didn't execute to close the game. I also stated I thought Cooper was a better player than Coeburn, which is also my opinion so I don't see where the problem lies. I've had numerous people that have told me they thought Bluefield was better, which doesn't bother me b/c it's their opinion and their entitled to it just as I am entitled to mine.

[ QUOTE ] If I didn't want you posting here then you would have been gone a LONG, LONG, LONG time ago. [/ QUOTE ] I thought you had to have a reason to ban me from the boards, and so far I haven't done anything to constitute that so I don't know how you could say I would have been gone a long time ago if I didn't break any of the rules set. I played for Weir, so I'm going to support them no matter what. I don't know how else to explain it.

[ QUOTE ] hahah and as for me havin just a few choice words for Weir, you mustve missed some of my posts, b/c ive had ALOT of choice words for them....lol [/ QUOTE ] Exactly and I don't complain about what anyone says to me b/c it doesn't bother me, but I say "fool" and I almost get banned from the boards? It doesn't make sense now does it? I didn't say anything vulgar, so I don't get it. I think some people just don't like me posting here b/c I'm from Weir, but hey that's just my opinion.

[ QUOTE ] Consider this your one and only warning on the name calling. Your opinion is welcomed, but the name calling isn't and if it happens again you'll be gone. [/ QUOTE ] Now I've been called a lot of things and been messed w/ since I started posting here, but I've never complained about it b/c it doesn't bother me. I think it's all in fun that comes along w/ arguing about each other's team. I'm not trying to stir up trouble b/c I enjoy posting here, but it seems like you have a personal vendetta against me. I didn't think saying "fool" was a big deal when I've seen Tom have a few choice words about Weir. But I like Tom, and I know he's just joking around. I just think that you don't want me to post here b/c I have a different opinion about football than you do, but again I respect what you say and am not trying to cause a problem.
