    your welcome

    Whoever dubbed that video picked awesome audio and did it right. I'm over here lovin' that music.

     

    I still say that's a hit that will go down for the ages. I didn't see it but it came through quite well over the radio broadcast. Thanks to you and others for offering video and thanks to those first-hand accounts.

     

    Most importantly, props to Shane Wicks. I think he'd be the first to say he's glad that guy is okay. What a hit.

  2. Anyone else remember this show from the 80s? What a classic intro!

    / Also, thanks for the response to the 'help' thread. Keep them coming. I'll help you as best I can. I'm sorry if I am not articulate enough but I'll be glad to break it down further if need be.

  3. There are many individuals out there who wish to post here using the following: boldface, italics, underline, color, links, YouTube, pictures, sounds, and much more.

     

    They don't understand UBB code or HTML.

     

    I'm here to help you as I'm sure others are, so long as it doesn't bother the modadmins.

     

    We all started somewhere on the internet, a dang "HELP" thread seems only necessary. Please, ask whatever posting questions and I or someone will get back to you. I give you my word I'll be patient and courteous. If I can't answer it, I'll say so straight out.

     

    That's it.

     

    Let's make this board the best it can be!

     

    Edit: PM me if you would like to keep it private. I respect that.

    put this to rest

    It'll never be put to rest. Damn I wish it would. I think the best that can be done is put the facts straight as best we can.

     

    Edit: I think the wish on our part to put this to bed, so to speak, is what many feed on. I think we need to lay all we know out there, relate it to the haters, and then ask everyone to forgive us.

    I am not hating on Richlands, nor have I ever. They are a solid football program.

    I am just trying to learn the truth about what happened and what penalties may have occured.

     

    [/ QUOTE ]

     

    They could not strip them of there tittle, but they were bared from the playoffs the following year. This will never be put to rest no matter how many more state tittles they win from this year on!!! Its something the fans and players will have to deal with because of the stupid choices of a few people. (coaches)

     

    [/ QUOTE ]

     

    I do not think that players should be burdened with it. I think players, such as the ones that were CHAMPIONS this year, write their own history.

     

    This issue should be isolated, so to speak. It bears nothing on this year's players, for example.

     

    Edit: And in response to your statement, the town, the school, and the team did serve a punishment for the transgression. I hope we are a people who forgive (even if we do not forget).

    Why is the penalty for knowingly using something illegal only 15?

    Wouldnt' that qualify as trying to gain an unfair advantage on something not relating to the actual playing of the game?

     

    And if the cleats were to be discover prior to or during the game, would the team committing the infraction be forced to change cleats to those that conform?

     

    [/ QUOTE ]

     

    I do not know. I read that post on page 5 of this thread (for me) as well. A citation seems a prerequisite when making such a statement, I'll agree with that.

     

    All I know is what is already common knowledge -- (we wore them against the Spartans and did not against the Hornets). You might want to specify the question in PM to certain individuals if you don't get a response here. Some people are more "capable" of responding via personal message than others. Either way, I'd like to hear how it plays out. You know, either way you break it down ... Richlands was the better team.

  7. [ QUOTE ]

    who ever said anything implying a link between the 2006 state champs and the 1992 team?? we are just talking about another part of rhs football history.

    No. You're trolling. You're intentionally posting to illicit angered responses from a group of people. You can be coy here and there, no question, but the summation of your posts will figuratively act as an albatross.

    / for the Richlands contingent, is Ms. Dean (our old English teacher) still kickin'? Anyone know for sure?

  8. Thank you, sir.

    Didnt bluefield play and beat rockbridge county at the beginning of the season in that little tournament thing at Mitchell?

     

    [/ QUOTE ]

    No Rockbridge played Graham and Mount View. Bluefield played Richlands and Pulaski County.

     

    [/ QUOTE ]

     

    "B-b-b-but Bluefield."

     

    Dang, we all must admit teams are much different from pre-season scrimmages to playoffs. Play calling is different. Heck, you've got that many games to realize what will work and what doesn't. Even a below-average player will carry out an assignment better with repetition. It is near but not "apples and oranges" there. Amherst is a good example ... didn't they change people around at skill positions after the loss to GW? That's what pre-season and early regular season are for.

    Why in the record book does it have 2 for AA then?

     

    [/ QUOTE ]

     

    There are two divisions in each group for two reasons in my opinion. First, it doubles the money that the VHSL receives from ticket sales, etc. Second, it makes twice as many people happy each year as they become state champions.

     

    Now we can call it division 3/4, Group AAA, Group AAAA, whatever. You'll still end up with undefeated teams, state champions here and there, media saying this, messageboard people posting pics of Ric Flair, but don't for one second think that the players from Richlands aren't champions. They are champions. They prepared in the off-season, they faced every obstacle put before them this year, and they handled themselves as gentlemen (both on the field and with the media, which speaks to coaching).

     

    Yeah, AA this, two that ... all that talk is a bunch of wasted nonsense unless you're trying to troll for hate from Richlands fans. We can talk forever about how Varina, Hampton, or Phoebus would RAW DOG anyone the size of, say, Burton. There is a system in place to create parity among schools with similar population sizes. You ask, in other words, how would Richlands do against Amherst. Well, I ask you how Riverheads would do against Osbourn. You can "back and forth" this nonsense forever.

     

    You'll still end up in the same spot. Release the hate elsewhere, man.

    Theres not just one AA state champion.

    But there is just one with an undefeated record.

    I think that it would have been a different story if Rockbridge had a somewhat good kicker. I watched the Amherst/Louisa game afterwards and both teams would have beaten Richlands by two touchdowns. I think that they should play one more game between Amherst and Richlands so there could be a true state champion, because now there turely isnt one.

     

    [/ QUOTE ]

     

    You need to take that to VA Preps and keep that garbage off this message board. There is a TRUE AA Div. 3 STATE CHAMPION and it is Richlands.

     

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Amen.
