Don't know for sure, but I would imagine coach Jackson will be running basically the same offense as he did before. Multiple sets, will set up in a wing T formation as the base, but a whole lot of other stuff, including some spread formations. Don't know how successful they'll be because I don't know who the QB will be, but there should be more emphasis on the passing game this year. I would guess instead of 90 percent run , you're probably looking at more like 60-65 percent run

While I'm not a fan of Huggins recruiting tactics in general, there is a difference between bringing in a guy with a low GPA, or a criminal record. And a guy like OJ whose baggage is going to get you in trouble with the NCAA. My take on it is that if OJ had just had grade problems, or a bit of a criminal background, Huggs would've taken him in a heartbeat. But since the baggage that OJ was carrying had the potential for big NCAA violations, that's why he didn't want him.

does anyone know who all is in the coppinger this year?

According to the live scoring thing on metronews, Mullins is in the starting line up.

I guess my question offensively will be who's going to play QB over the next few years? I know there will be elements of the single wing in Donnie's offense, they ran some of that stuff his last few years there anyway. Are there any younger guys who were good QB's from the middle schools?

I agree with you, we probably should still playing, but after talking to people from both schools over the years, the administrations of both schools were just kind of afraid of it getting worse and worse. If nothing else, the fact that the schools gave up on that big of a gate every two years tells you they were taking it seriously.

The game where things really started to get out of hand was the game JM won at home 7-6 in the mid nineties, to break Giles long winning streak, there were multiple fights after that game, and pretty much every game after that stuff like that would go on in the parking lots before and after the game. There probably weren't that many incidents, but it was bad enough that it just kind of overshadowed the game, and both schools had had enough of it.

I wouldn't say Giles chickened out at all. The stuff that kept happening at the Giles/JM games off the field got completely out of hand the last few years they played, and both schools decided not to play anymore because a few stupid "adult" fans couldn't control themselves. The other thing, who was the third AAA team on the schedule in 1999? I remember East and Princeton, but I just can't recall the other one.

Wow, I know Bluefield is down this year compared to years past, but when was the last time a Beaver team lost by 20+ to another WV AA school?

Just out of curiosity, did the kid that got hurt for Princeton last night play, and if not does anyone know what the injury was or how long he'll be out?

this the final? did you stay and watch the game after all?

Does anyone have an update on the injuries to Mann and Romanello last week?

Getting ready to leave for the game here in an hour or so, does anyone know what sort of offense or defense the skyhawks run?
