I wouldn't count on th additional seating at Legion. As a stop gap until Akers is fired we are installing basketball goals in the end zone areas for the GC B-ball team to dunk on between plays and at halftime. I think we'll still draw a good crowd. 
My source says the goals will be removed when Football returns to prominence in 2021. 

Sad sad day for Big Blue Nation if this is true. I'll be surprised if they have enough kids come out to field a team. On another note, will definitely be easy to find a seat when the Big Blue faithful come to Legion Field. 

Abingdon either scored more, or held VHS to less, or a combination of the two?

Carter is a very nice pick up for RU.  Im sure he will be a much bigger impact player coming in that Mac would have been and you guys should be thrilled that you filled a big need.  But it seems like Macs decommittment rustled some jimmies of fans....obviously.  
I'm well aware how it works though.....its the usual college fan base reaction.  "Hes gonna be a stud and do big things and have RU rocking" while he's committed and literally a day later after he decommits "he's not impressive at all....not sure why Pikiell went after him".  It boggles the mind.

He looking to get out and he trying to do it on his own terms...he would much rather say that he left instead of having to say "I got ran off".  

What part of my post said anything about bringing back glory days? Just trying to get more out to watch them for their last home game of the year. You all are worse than a bunch of gossiping old women. Putting words in someone's mouth that just are not there. lol. 

What Akers said before the Ridgeview game to the players is true. When a coach tells you not to embarrass him, that’s some absolute crap. He has done a fine job embrassing himself the past 2 years!

I love watching Mac, but this whole group is going to be fun to watch. I'm looking forward to December.

Not with that performance, they didn't.

Y'all are just now figuring out what a cancer he is.  As a long time fan of the hogo I know parent's and coachs at RR.  He demoralized the kids and coaches everyday. Mocked previous coaches and the schools tradition.   Even coaches still on the staff.  Alot didn't help after just meeting him in initial meeting.  Come to find out he applied for job because he had been offensive coordinator at previous "big "  school.  But actually only was OC for half of 1st quarter before HC took play calling away.   He's a cancer and his repercussions are still being felt at RR.

Coaching at Volunteer would be enough to make anyone cuss a little. I loved playing for Coach Jones...great person and a great coach. 

I was speaking more in general. I know of a few booster clubs in SWVA that pay "volunteer" coaches a stipend that is equal to what the county pays its assistants. 
As far as the "may 25 cents an hour" comment, welcome to coaching. That is a given and a dumb excuse to say they worked harder than coaches today. Kids are different everywhere, not just at GC and SWVA. Not entirely their faults since parenting is much to blame but we won't get into that. Sure it is nice to have nice things but if the item is still serving its purpose but does not look shiny then who cares? I feel like 25 pounds back in 1980 is the same as 25 pounds today in 2017 so no need to upgrade weightlifting equipment. 

This number is idiotic and completely inaccurate, like everything else you post.  Please make some token effort to fact check yourself; I'm embarrassed for you. 
From Scott County Schools website
HC - $5,010
1st Assistant - $3,940
Assistant Coach - $3,300
That's for a minimum 40 extra hours of work per week. Many of Bill Houseright's assistants worked for a half stipend. Educate yourself.

I don't think we truly disagree. Until the biggest problem is dealt with changing the other problems will not help. 

"Classic GC though, it is not the kids its the coach. You all are starting a vicious cycle with that idea"   "GC is always on top of their high horse... "
..........and classic GC hatred/envy. Priceless
 
There are many examples of GC fans talking about the overall lack of talent on our team. I'm not sure a lot of people, who are responding on these threads, are understanding what is being said by several GC fans.
I will not even pretend to speak for anyone other than myself. The following thoughts/opinions are my own.
I'm not sure that Nick Saban would win more than a couple of games with our team this year.......and that is if we had kept everyone healthy. Yeah....we want to win as many games as possible. Hell, as a GC fan, we want to win every game and get to game 11. However.........a lot of the frustrations being directed at the HC have nothing to do with wins/loses. They are about the general direction of the program.
 
 

By all accounts numbers continue to dwindle and our starters are beat to death. I'm extremely proud of our players for continuing to show up. I hope they know that the fans have their backs and this dumpster fire of a season is not their fault. 

I honestly believe all hope of that is gone. I think the whole program has given up at this point. It's more than just X's and O's for GC at the moment. Another scoreless week this week, people may riot. 

The collapse of Rome isn't too fun to watch. My heart breaks a little more each Friday night. When fans are leaving at halftime of a GC game, you know something is wrong. Hats off to Union though, they have a solid team with some serious speed. 

From outside looking in I did not know. Now that I have been involved with it I am seeing what I had been hearing about. He refused to open bathrooms and concessions on two separate nights during little league. 

We have some really good coaches in LL but kids don't seem interested in coming out. 

I'm seriously doubting GC can get 2 wins. Heard 3 players quit this week and would be willing to bet there will be more. The entire system from LL up is in disarray.

Just be careful not to blame the gentleman who's job it is to design the offense and get the the kids ready to play. Its just lack of talent + meanies on a message board; let's give him another 10 years and hope he learns how to do the job he was hired to do. 

When was the last time GCs most effective weapon was their punter?

Starting halfway down the first page to now (page 9), and reading all the posts, I just have one question....there is still a football game tonight, right? :)
See ya at the park. GO BEARS!
