Based on writing style, this is not the same southbound from a few years ago.

GMan, you clearly haven't spent much time around farmers.  LOL

I do...going in the opposite direction...

Per Tazewell SB policy, students from WV are not allowed.in  Tazewell Co. schools.  Of course some administrators are known to look the other way.

Not very many lately.  Its been the other way around, kids leaving Graham to go to other schools, Bluefield and Richlands for the most part, Tazewell for baseball a few years ago.  Pretty sure that, since the passing of Coach Carlock, Graham has lost significantly more to other schools than we've gained for athletic reasons.

It does when coaches and administrators are not helpful in the recruiting process at the former school...

If you are transferring to get seen by recruiters, senior year is not the time.  The way the recruiting schedule is these days colleges are identifying prospects in 10th grade and zeroing in on 11th graders.

Shorten the commercial breaks to 90 seconds between innings and pitching changes.  That would go miles in speeding up the pace of the game.  The pitch clock should apply to batters as well.  If the batter is so obsessed with adjusting his gloves etc, call a strike against him.

Gosh, there's so many things...
 
Culture of instant gratification.
Dertrimentally indulgent parenting.
Undue self importance.
Lack of loyalty.
Lack of gumption.
Contempt for jurisdictional rules.
Tail wagging the dog.
Sports above education.
Me Me Me.
Turning your back on your friends.
Turning your back on your teammates.
 
And most importantly...
 
A mistake.

The worst part of all this transfer business that has been going on in Tazewell county for several years now is the parenting...Yes, I agree the coaching in both places has been in shambles for quite some time. I agree with barondawg77 that Coach Allen has invested a lot into the program to get it back on track, and has done an admirable job. Richlands has had consistency in their coaching, and that has made a difference on the field. The travesty that exists is when the parents of these kids that transfer allow it to happen, and in some cases, even promote it happening! What are they teaching their children and their siblings? That when you don't get things you want, or things don't go your way, pack up and leave your family, teammates, friends behind and go try something else? Especially when it involves kids going into their senior years. Take the 3 years you have just spent and throw it all away? Many parents claim that the reason they move down the road is for the opportunities it provides their children to go to college. How many of those kids that have transferred down the road have went on to play scholarship football at the next level? How many of those guys are in the pros now? 
 
10, 20, 30 years from now will it matter how many games you won? Will it matter if you started on your varsity football team? Will it matter that you turned your back on your childhood friends, coaches, and sometimes your family? Which class reunion will you attend? The one where you only spent one year and barely know anyone, or the one where you grew up playing in the backyard with all you friends pretending you would be a Bulldog or a G-man one day? You know, those same "friends" you turned you back on when things didn't go exactly like they were planned to do? The one your siblings, your cousins, your mom and dad, even your grandmother and grandfather went to?
 
Sorry for the rant...Just something that needed to be said...

Hey, we're getting a new Dollar General, the sky is the limit for the Raven area in the near future!

Crony Capitalism - as old as the country itself.

Who to pull for? New England cheats and Pete Carroll hates Amerca.

Looks like all I need is for Katy Perry to suck, and I am golden.
 
BTW, her costumes will be sexy and she will look amazing; but her music will reek.
 
I am looking forward to Kam inroducing himself to Gronk.  That will be a collision.

This smells like one of those "At the request of" bills.  Those are bills that legislators introduce at the request of some interest group in their district; that they don't expect to pass.
 
It generates a little heat but not much traction.  If that is the case, it won't make it out of commitee.
 
I hope I am right.

Only insofar as it affects a party's ability to understand and comprehend that which they were executing.
 
And those questions make me money. So I'm all for it.

I'm counting this toward my pro bono hours for 2014.

Bowl game means the following:
One month's extra practice time.  Key for those freshmen and red-shirts. Continued discussion of your team in a quiet time helps recruiting. A chance to go to an exotic location. (Shreveport, Annapolis) Per diem money for the players. Swag from the bowl. The right to talk smack to your bretheren who did not.  (This is fair game, while not always the tactful move.)
