Was keeping up with your game all night even though we was in a dogfight all night long with a well coached and very physical Galax team....Glad to see my 2nd favorite team beat that WV powerhouse. Keep it rolling blues!!! That's a good coach you guys got there LOL

Really quite tonight.

What a great game. Both teams played hard and both teams played very clean. Bluefield is every bit as good as advertised. I don't see them dropping another game until December.
 
With that said, I've said all week that we could win this game. Our defense is a great defense. Very opportunistic. And they hit hard. You could see the Bluefield players body language change in the second quarter.
 
So proud of my Blues. Now, let's go get after Tazewell. It's time for the BACKYARD BRAWL!!!

Congrats Richlands I shall start boiling the feathers off the bird...

I think he was being sarcastic since both schools are the Falcons.

Nah, he's looking forward to Week 1 of the playoffs when a team like Western Albemarle or Hidden Valley takes his Falcons to the Woodshed.

I meant 4 scores as in anywhere from 8 points to 32 points lol  
I've seen both teams play and I think talent wise bluefield is 3 td's better but I've seen mance beat teams that were better them in the past. It's hard to count him out anytime, but especially playing at home

I hope the boys will have a big crowd also,  the kids deserve it !  Unfortunately I will be out of town and can't make it so i hope Ryan, Bluerazor and the rest of my Blues brothers ( saw a movie named that once...lol ) will be a little louder this week to help make up for me not being there !

Had what I thought was the best homecoming parade crowd turnout I've seen in a while tonight. Hopefully that carries over to the game tomorrow. Attendance just hasn't been up to Richlanfs par the past couple years. We need to pack Ernie tomorrow night and cheer these boys to a hard fought W.

Have any of us said, "Bluefield isn't that good?" Everyone one of us has noted that they are a fine football team. Easily the hardest we will play all year. But what we have noted is a weaknesses (every team has them) and some ideas on how to exploit them and keep the ball out of their hands.
 
Of course we are going to be optimistic. We are Richlands. We don't back down from anyone. But 99% of the Richlands posters on here are realists as well. We know what kind of team is coming down 460.

I picked against Richlands for the first time vs LB, and it cost me.  I won't make that mistake again.  They may not win, but I won't pick against them.  #Homer

Two genuinely nice guys. Love making the trip over to the Marion side to chat with them.

Stu I promise you, you would enjoy it!  Canes and Hurricane are great guys that love their High School football team! If you do go meet them I want you to just straight up punch both of them in the mouth and say......that's from Razor....lol
 
Good luck to both teams and it should be a good one. On another serious note if you do go over and meet them please shake both of their hands for me and tell them Razor said HEY!

that was the only good thing about our games when we played u guys was to talk to you and razor especially coming to Richlands cause the scoreboard was always a bummer on our end lol

It was the homecoming game my senior year as well. (2007) I submitted the theme that should have won. "Dam the Beavers" Find a better one than that. Lol.

I have a lot of respect for the Bluefield program for what they have done over many years,  probably THE most consistent program in the area,  will,  not probably,  they are the most consistent.  They are well coached and always have a lot of speed and great athletes.  Great fan support too ! 
But as Ryan and others have stated,  as a Blues fan,  we believe we CAN beat anybody on any Friday, doesn't mean we are not realistic about how good they ( Bluefield ) is,  but we do believe in our coaches and kids.  The Blues will have to play an almost perfect game to beat them,  but Richlands has gotten better each week and they do play physical as most of the teams they have played would probably admit,  but Bluefields speed and athleticism will be hard to overcome.
  It will help that it is played at Ernie Hicks,  but it will be tough for the blues to contain all that speed on the turf.  I wasn't sure that the blues were quite ready to win a game like they did against LB and I am incline to think the same here,  but they proved me wrong in the LB game and I am hoping that they do it again,  but Bluefield is a better team than LB.
I just can't bring myself to pick against the Blues.  I love the kids on this team,  they have played with so much heart this year !  They could have hung their heads and give up after the way they lost the Union game,  but they worked hard and got better so i would not put anything past this bunch.
I'll take my Blues to win in a upset as i type this looking through my Blues colored glasses !   Go Blues !

We would enjoy having you over. Most games, there are visiting fans on our side. Ryan and Blue Razor used to come over all of the time.

I'm picking up what you're throwing down.

I was going to go real dirty but with the children on here (Southbound, Falcongirl, Jethro, etc) I decided to keep it clean.

I actually had to think hard about it, but I do remember! How long ago has that been? And no...you weren't that bad. I would have trusted you with crayons and napkins even at your worst. ;)
