VTCC22

What about Graham vs. OPEN. I say graham drops another to go 0-3. OPEN will play their JV after the mid point of the third Q and GHS will score again this week. OPEN wins this one 42-12. Open just has much better coaching on both sides of the ball.

I went to the scrimmage and Graham could get no worse in the secondary. Worst secondary I have ever seen would not cover and would not tackle. Need alot of work in this area. The run D was average. If any coach was there scouting he will pass, pass and pass again. Every pass outside of two thrown and caught by the oposition went for touchdowns. LBs did a good job of causing turnovers. Don't know who coaches the secondary but perhaps someone else should to avoid utter disaster. The safetys were non existant (really never moved of ran straight into the mess in the middle) and the corners were never in position and were beaten at will. Dreadful. On Offense they struggled to run the ball until second strings came in for the opposition. One back ran backwards the majority of the game and almost ran into the coaches on the other side of the field (for Graham). Very poor decision making. My point is that the kid that transfered to Tazewell had to be better than what I saw last Friday night, cant be any worse. I can see were the precieved favoritism to certain players come from. More relatives, more problems, just a different coach this time. The attrition will continue to worsen as time passes. The young man that transfered was a stand up young man with great character and good grades. I guess these things mean little to people anymore. I have persistantly heared negative comments about a very good young man in the community. Perhaps they should look at themselves before pointing fingers. Good luck at Tazwell buddy, show um what you got. Good luck to him until they play Graham. Graham needs to spread the field to get some defenders out of the backfield. Long year for the good guys.

Definitely a great combo. With the talent that Concord already has, they should contend strongly for the WVIAC championship

If you actually read my thread instead of the first line you would see that I was still talking about the football team. I was merely comparing the excitement of the team as opposed to the band. BAND IS BY NO MEANS A SPORT!!!

Truth is, people only go to the G-Man football games to watch the band. Thats the only entertainment there is around here. All of you have seen them play. Noone wants to watch David get sacked the whole game because of a terrible line. Noone wants to see the running backs fall down before someone even attempts to tackle them. Barry Sanders couldnt even help them out. So truly the band is the only reason most people go to the games. Of course Im not speaking for everyone.

Nice Read!!!!

He might be a great Forward in the league but definitely not a Center. He is too small to be an NBA Center

Only one of the greatest Centers in College basketball today for the North Carolina Tarheels

WHen you put it like that it may change some minds. We all do love to watch College Football for its uniqueness over any other sport. I definitely prefer College Football over the NFL. The NFL has become a circus act to me.

Yeah thats true. Most preseason ranking come out before the teams cut players for some apparent reason. Some teams may even aquire new players right at the last minute. Its all crazy. UVA youre idea is exactly how it should be. If only the people who actually run the BCS read these threads, they would be alot smarter!

There is always a complaint about something. I think the controversy is what makes College Football so exciting. However I still think a playoff would be better.

Great Point!

Im all for playoffs. It gives each team a fair shot at the National Championship.

There are several things they could do to fix the revenue problem but thats something the officials gotta figure out. Im sure we could add a few suggestions but what would that really matter?

Yeah last season was crazy. Hell, VT almost had a shot at the NC due to the upsets. I am all for the playoffs. I have always wondered how a team can go undefeated but never make it to the NC also. Not only would th playoffs truly determine the best 2 teams in the Nation but it would extend College Football for all of us college football fans. i dont know about you guys, but I would love to see the college football season extended

The same article was in the Bluefield Daily Telegraph http://www.bdtonline.com/localsports/local_story_345224254.html?keyword=topstory

Kellar seems like he will do really well at Concord. They need someone in there who will be a great recruiter and coach. They havent had that in the last decade. Hopefully he wont recruit someone just because of the state that they live in! All I can say is that is cant get any worse, lol!

Thanks for the info! if I hear anything new I will let you guys know

The thing that gets me the most is that people are always trying to find a way to down VT and/or the ACC. Who Cares if they didnt have a big crowd at the game? Im sure both schools made enough money from that game that it didnt even matter that anyone showed up. Its definitely not from lack of fan support. VT has one of the biggest following in America.VT fans are loyal no matter where they have to go. When they played FSU for the NC back in 1999, they had a huge following. Like you said, with the economy the way it is why waste money driving all the way to Tampa, now, when you can be more comfortable sitting at home watching it on a Big Screen HD television with a better view of the game than most people could afford at the actual game. Plus the snacks are cheaper at home, lol! Im sure VT and BC didnt mind traveling to the game, it was for the championship. Besides the weather was much better in Tampa than in Blacksburg lol.

Anymore news about a new HC?

If VT plays like they did Saturday in the ACC championship, they will win BIG! Tyrod played probably the best game of his career. Ive said all along, if they keep Glennon off the field VT is very strong with or without the terrible play calling of Stinespring.

Im not really sure if he is the HC or not. Here is the article that I read in today's paper. http://www.bdtonline.com/localsports/local_story_339224506.html

I agree with that too. However, you never know till you try though. The New DC hiree would be able to receive great advice from Foster. They could help each other. If Beamer leaves, I believe Stinespring would be gone too.

Concord has received a new coach. His name is Ralph Isernia, he was the OC at University of Charleston. They had a pretty decent year. They have contended for the conference for the past 2 years I believe.

I totally agree with that. I hate WVu but I like to watch the games on tv just to see what Patt White will do. When that had Slaton Schmitt and White in the backfield they were a powerful trio. I have never heard of Pat White of Steve Slaton getting into any kind of trouble while they were in school. The Vicks stayed in trouble all the time. Lets see what Devine does in his last few years. So far so good!!
