I married (and since divorced) a Whitesburg woman and never did get to eat there.

As for the game, Da Bears beat down my daughter's future high school by as many as they want.  Polier after the game gives a Stone Cold Stunner to a KHSAA official for trying to be crooked like nWo ref Nick Patrick.

LMAO the obscure Nick Patrick reference-EPIC!!! Don't forget that crooked mofo Earl Hebner:)

Union wins 35-14 as LC gets 2 TDs from KHSFA Officials:)

Quit being a baby. I said in my other post that the T was very successful after the half after being useless in the first half. 

If you wanna see Union get smacked around by any team with a great defensive gameplan and depth on their DL, have fun trying to run into 11 guys. The Union OL is not so overpowering that they can beat better teams on physicality alone. Without the threat of a pass, it's gonna be a long season. Union had one sustained TD drive last night. The other three came after turnovers and long returns. 

Union will absolutely have to mix it up and get the passing game going to make a run no doubt. Great defense aside you still have to be able to keep the opposing defense honest,and we did not do that last night. Load the box-no reason not to. Do some slants,screens,dumps over the middle.....something

Actually Mance complained about whistle in radio interview and said it violated VHSL rules or so I read on a social media post. 

Shame so many are making excuses:( My buddy from Lebanon was telling me this morning that several Richlands folks were complaining about the officials taking FGs away from Forrest. That's absurd. I was right beside the uprights and he slightly hooked one. Another was hurried from an edge rusher,and another blocked. We could easily complain about the numerous no-calls on  Richlands holds and us getting called numerous times. Bottom line is if you line up and beat us we'll shake your hand after it. Union simply smacked the Blues in the mouth in the 4th quarter and took this game.

Told y'all Chilhowie would win.  But Burton should be good to go the rest of the season.

Ahhh the perks of playing in the Cumberland Distric:)

That long lanky frame with those giraffe legs paid off on that play:)

I think the train whistle had an effect on the game vin the first half.

Maybe it kept us from doing anything offensively. I guarantee that Coach Mance would be shaking his head if he read this thread. No excuses

Don’t throw stones?

BINGO! BTW I think the train whistle adds to the atmosphere

I thought Union was very disrespectful and un sportsmanlike when blowing the train whistle on every offensive of Richlands ran in the first half......

As disrespectful as Richlands players running through our band over at your place? What do they say about glass houses? 🙂

I shudder to think how scary good this defense is going to be with a year in the weight room. Richlands will be ok IMO. Union's defense is going to wreak havoc on a lot of folks. By the time this bunch is done it will be the best defense we've seen. The offense still needs a ton of work but IMO it's about poor,predictable playcalling than anything else. I was joking to my buddies that I thought I saw the Richlands defender send a text message while waiting on the ball carrier. When you have a defense as stout as this one was tonight you've got the luxury of developing the offense:) I saw as many hard hits by the Bear defense as I have seen since the old LPD days. This team reminds me of one of Tom's Appy squads. That hammering drive to get the lead really took me back.

No it actually wasnt the track meet game. That game was 51-50 in 2011 when Central first opened. That's when Tyler Graham had 400 plus rushing yards.

The record was in 2015 vs Lee and the final was 56-35. I guess technically that's a track meet, but it's not the one everyone thinks about lol.

One could call them both track meets:)

Was that Lee game played at the college?  May be thinking of wrong game.  Figured that was close to a record

It was at UVA-Wise and was a track meet

one thing for sure is we have a young qb

He is young but he's developing. He looked much better last Friday than the previous bit.

Don't sleep on GW Clisso's restaurant at the Country Club, and you do not have to be a member to eat there. It's very reasonably priced and the food is outstanding. I've never had anything but a great experience there. Usually on Friday and Saturday night he has a buffet and salad bar along with menu items available. He has a line of salad dressings that are available locally that are AMAZING. If my crew was going to be in BSG, that's where I'd plan our pre-game meal would be. 

The only issue with Clisso's is the limited hours. He's an awesome chef and we love it when he feeds us at Red Onion

The better half loves their Swiss mushroom burger. They do a huge affordable breakfast too

Four Seasons by far:) The Walking Taco Salad or Bacon Ranch Burger is awesome:)

Richlands losing Friday night was the WORST thing that could have happened to the Bears. We will find out a lot about our young squad and their maturity Friday night. There's zero reason for me to think this game will not be what it always is when the Bears and Blues tangle-a straight out slobber knocker.

The game plan just was not working. They tried most of the game to run the ball between the tackles into the teeth of the Union defense but it really did them no favors. I believe the big kids were gassed for Lee going both ways, Union seemed to really handle them at the LOS.

 

but the QB has some play making ability if given time or a place to run. 

100% agree. The QB is a good athlete. They are running the wrong offense. I was impressed with the size on the line and #74 is a stud

3 thoughts for me tonight:

1. This Union defense while very young is going to be special-possibly the best we've seen by the time they gel

2. Brody Gibson looked much more comfortable tonight. All the Bears fans with doom and gloom forgetting that he's learning the position at the varsity level. He threw pretty well overall tonight and should have had a long TD pass but it was dropped (very well thrown ball).

3. Absolutely tickled to death for the kids from Gate City. They've took their lumps over the last few years. The conference needs teams like GC and Central to be good. It will only make the rest better
