  1. Could be wrong but I think 55 rotated depending on the scheme. Fort ran a 4 and a 5 front look. I think he was up in the 4 front and blunt end(standing) in the 5 front. Can't recall exactly. I do know that Fort will lay some wood on both sides of the ball. Defense is stout and aggressive. You will hear about the `FOREARM`! Forts running back trucked one of the CC dbacks. I can't give it justice by trying to describe it. It needed to be on film.

  2. Fort looked tough. Big, fast and physical. Carroll looks athletic but average/small on the interior. Still trying to grind it out. Central has some size and some speed but not very deep. Tazewell has some athletes but the interior is undersized.

    Everyone looked bad against Fort.

    Carrol/Central matchup looked pretty even. Appeared to be several scores by both.

    Carrol/ Tazewell-Carrol they ran fairly easy and had some wide open receivers. Tazewell passed at will but struggled on the ground

    Central/Tazewell matchup-tazewell ran well and passed easily. Central had some success passing but struggled with the run game.

     

    Overall Fort looked like a beast compared to every one else.

  3. Bullshit. I have been diagnosed with PTSD and have absolutely no feelings of needing to kill soemone. As a matter of fact shooting sports and hunting has become a part of my coping program. Dumb and uniformed statement.

  4. Let's be clear about the definition of assault weapons. It varies from state to state and most of the difference's have nothing to do with the increasing the lethality of the system. The one common factor would be extended magazines.<O:p</O:p

    Under the some of the current proposals my handgun would be labeled as an assault weapon as well as one of my deer rifles. A shotgun that I have been looking at(Mosseberg 590A1) would be banned because it looks "tactical".

    <O:p</O:pThe so called "assault weapons" are simply semi-automatic weapons capable of handling extended magazines. Black guns have a stigma attached to them that is asinine and politically motivated. As I have stated before, there can be no “compromise” because there is no compromise. Law abiding gun owners simply lose without gaining anything. It also opens the door for more to be taken.<O:p</O:p

    On the subject of “no one is trying take your guns away”. They sure are and surely will if allowed to. There have been many proposal’s put forth in differing areas that run the full spectrum of gun control and most stop the availability of the weapons. Some do not grandfather the weapon so current owners would have to forfeit the weapon. That is an attempt to take away the right of law abiding citizens to own them.<O:p</O:p

  5. My issue with compromise on "Gun Control" is that its never enough for Gun Control advocates. Give a little now, have another tragic shooting and give a little more, so on and so on. Doesn't take much thought to forsee the ultimate outcome.

     

    I personally do not see a need for long magazines but support the right to legally own them. I do not own or need an "Assualt Rifle"(which is inaccurate of the true definition) but support the right to legally own one.Rational people should understand that banning them does not reduce the availability to criminals. Therefore it only affects law abiding citizens.

     

    No one can factually state that if these shooters did not have extended magazines that the outcome would have been different. We can only issue a SWAG that it "might" have been.

     

    I do know this. I have not had many conversations on this issue that did not become heated and sometimes hostile.

  6. RGIII has definitely played beyond expectations, however..... Luck has elevated a team that few thought could finish the season above .500. Wilson has shown marked improvement all season. From a performance view I'd go with RGIII. If I were looking at it from the angle of who has improved the "team" I'd give the nod to Luck. I've still not bought into Wilson yet, but his performance against the niners gave me some things to ponder.

  8. LSU offense is suspect with a completely re-tooled o-line and a QB with little confidence. LSU defense looked tired and slow at the end of the UF game and will be pressed by an up tempo SC offense. They also lost starting LB Kwon Alexander for the season.

     

    SC defense is solid. SC offense benefits from one of the best play callers in the buisness who finally has the talent in place to leverage his system.

     

    My pick: SC by 10.

  11. Sheets is the only option at QB right now. At this point, he is at the best position to benefit the team. I would prefer him at QB with the ball in his hand given his ability to make something out of nothing. As the other QB progresses then I would move Sheets to other positions to get him some space. At this time though he is in the best position to make plays and it works(most of the time).

  12. Obviously some don’t accept it. Heard a story today that Graham High School was visited recently by a VHSL rep and TCSB rep. They were there to verify the residence of the kids formally from Bluefield WV. VHSL was satisfied about their residence after physically visiting each home.<O:p</O:p

    <O:p

    However, was also told that the visitors were invited to check a residence within walking distance of GHS to verify that an outbound transfer from GHS was in fact not living there but got a stout refusal from TCSB.<O:p</O:p

    <O:p

    Anybody else hearing this?<O:p</O:p
