I have issues with UCF's regular season schedule. Check it out, and compare that to the schedule of any of the Power 5 teams. it's a joke. http://www.espn.com/college-football/team/schedule/_/id/2116/ucf-knights Yes, they are undefeated, but undefeated against a weak schedule has to be taken with a grain of salt. FIU...Maryland...Memphis...Cincinnatti...East Carolina...Navy...Austin Peay...SMU...UConn...Temple...South Florida...Memphis in the CCG...Come on, man! I have no problem giving them as much credit as they deserve, but they don't deserve to be considered among college football's elite. That's just silly.

Bama just beat the #1 team in the nation on a neutral field. Sorry. They proved you wrong. And remember, Auburn was only a two-loss team when both Bama and UGA lost to Auburn at Jordan Hare. And since Auburn lost to a 4-loss LSU team, you just put your foot in your mouth. Get your story straight. Starting a thread touting the team that just beat you because you lost your last two games on a neutral field is weak, at best. As I said before, look at the schedule for UCF and maybe, just maybe you'll see how they became undefeated so easily. Their strength of schedule was ranked 103rd in the nation. If that doesn't explain it, nothing will convince you.

Look at UCF's schedule for the year. They played a lot of cupcakes. That, and the fact that this was Auburn's 4th loss speaks volumes. Auburn can play at Jordan Hare, but is a mediocre team away from home.

Prayers for the family and friends.

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone! Enjoy!

Post of the week!

Could he possibly work for a newspaper? Those guys are weird, for sure. :)

One thing is for sure, this will be the game of the week for a lot of us. Should be fun.

I also think Marion can win. These two are very close. There's not a lot of difference between Richlands, Marion and Union. All these games against each other were very close.

I would say the Graham game which went into overtime was pretty competitive, and the Marion game which was decided by 4 points was nothing to sneeze at either. So I truly hope you're wrong. If it's more competitive than those two games, it may not turn out well for the Blues.

As far as common opponents go, Richlands lost both games, but they were both very close games. I'm not seeing anything that makes me believe it won't be close. Richlands lost to Marion 22-18, and to Graham in OT 20-13. While match ups do matter, I'm not seeing anything that makes me believe it will be anything but a close game. Graham 24 Marion 21.

Richlands has lost to the following teams: Union (9-0) Blacksburg (8-1) Byrd (8-1) Bluefield (10-0) Marion (9-1) Graham (8-1) In the six games that RHS has lost, those teams have 4 losses combined. Just thought I would bring some perspective. It's not the end of the world to have a down year, especially if the opponents are the cream of the crop.

I gave up and went to bed when the Dodgers were up 3-1. Looks like I missed the best part of the game. Congrats, Astros.

A few of these guys take this way too personally. My mistake was an honest mistake. I don't spend my day fighting over high school kids and their teams. It's not really that important to me. I do this for entertainment. I realize it's life and death for some, but that's their business, not mine.

Corrected it. My bad.

Gotta consider the source, Ryan. Be careful. Butt hurt could be contagious. And we all know @Bulldogs52 has more butt hurt than anyone on this board.

Graham 6 Richlands 3. RHS FG to end the half.

Lol! Now that's hilarious. @Bulldogs52 , the most "HOME BOY" poster on this board is making fun of someone else for admitting to being a homer. I almost spewed my drink!
