I remember being a young child out in the dusty coal fields, just tossing a softball into the air, hoping for a chance one day to play meaningful games.
One day my father walked up to me, straight glare, breath smelling like Miller Lite, and said, "if you work hard and continue to get better, me and your momma will uproot us to the city of Clinchport to give you the opportunity you deserve."
One tear ran down my cheek as I looked to the sky and saw an eagle. I knew at that moment that I would soar with the Rye Cove Eagles one day.
Who has Richlands or Tazewell beaten that Rye Cove couldn't have? Difference between those two and Rye Cove is offense. RC has a more potent offense than those two.
A potent offense against Thomas Walker and Twin Springs is a little different than against Wise Central and Lebanon.
Payscale ranks West Points Return On Investment at #4 in the United States with an average base salary index of $118k. Emory & Henry is ranked #1841 with an average base salary index of $66k.
Niche gives West Point an academic grade of A+ and Emory & Henry an academic grade of C+.
West Point is elite. E&H simply is not. Fine school. Nothing wrong with a degree from E&H but it's not in the same galaxy as West Point.
I mean, my wife graduated from E&H, I graduated from Bluefield State, and I'm the breadwinner.

The Bearded Moose did it to himself with his ill-informed take.
And it's sad, because I would eat there at least once a week before that.
