Gate City will no doubt be at least as good as last year. However, after seeing them play this summer several times, I think they will be significantly better than last year if they continue to grow together
Oh i hear that, our first like 5 games in the reg season are South, DB, Science Hill, and Abingdon. and we are scrimmaging oak hill(bad bad bad decision)
We are big, got 3 cousins that are all about 6'5 i heard
I have played with those 3 cousins. One might be 6' 4" or 6' 5", the other 2 are barely 6' 3". But overall Gate City should have a pretty good team this year with a good shot at returning to Richmond
Not anything to do with the defensive line? Bullcrap!
That probably came across wrong. All credit to the Beavers, but GC did not block at all. You all are definitely a good team with a good D but Gate City did not fire off the ball hardly at all tonight. It was strange but as I have said Congrats!
Bottom line is Gate City couldn't block all night long. It wasn't anything to do with the Beaver D-line but we just weren't getting a hat on a hat. Also, after moving the ball pretty well the first couple of drives GC's play calling changed. GC went away from what was working and went to off-tackle runs all night with nothing to change it up. Bad play calling. Strange thing is that Bluefield only ran about 4 plays on offense all night and GC never adjusted defensively to those plays. Credit Bluefield that they stuck with what was working but GC never made a single adjustment to correct the problem. With one simple adjustment Bluefield's offense could have been slowed some. However, Congrats Bluefield and Good Luck the rest of the way! Gate City will be just fine, this will be a good growing experience and GC will only come out of it as an improved team in the future.
Patterson is #31 right? Well he played the whole game,I just finished watching the game from last year and he started the game and was in at the end. He played the whole game.
That is what I thought. I knew I remembered him playing most of the game
Nope, and Patterson left after only a play or two. It's a "Pride" game for Bluefield. I honestly feel this game will tell me whether or not this Bluefield team has what it takes to make it back to Wheeling.
Wrong, bluefield had patterson for the entire game agaimst GC last year because he had a couple of penaties called on him in the second half
The best team that we had lately was that 2004 team that made it all the way to so semis there wouldnt have been any team in this area in the last 10 years to beat that 2004 team. We made it to the semis but we run into that Maryville Rebels buzzsaw and i know there not anyone that could hang with that Maryville team or any other of there teams in the last 10 years. Dnt get me wrong i like Swva football as i do NETN football and Clintood gbeating this year 2010 Greeneville team is a joke. And that Elizabethton and Happy Valley game is always close they like not even 10 miles apart
I also believe the 2003 Gate City State Championship team could have played with these teams. GC went undefeated and only had one or two games that was won by fewer than 10 points and the state championship game was a blowout! Gate City had 1 from this team play at Virginia Tech, 5 play at Carson-Newman, 3 at Emory and Henry, and a few at UVA-Wise. Not saying that they would have beat you all or Maryville but they definitely would have been right with them and the games could have probably went either way if they were played. They would have been some great games if they could have been played. Don't underestimate some of the great teams that have come out of Southwest Virginia over the years!
Actually, only 2 of the 8 that quit had any significant playing time at all last year. and they were NOT major contributors even though they played. Im not sure exactly where you heard that 6 starters from last year quit but that is incorrect. Also, the biggest injury GC has at the moment is with one of their running backs. However, he will play against Richlands but he just will not be playing both ways
Just going by what they said he told them at breakfast one morning.
Some of the problems GC is having thus far are injuries and some wont be back untill week 3. Also GC had some players quit a couple weeks back so they do not return as many starters as the papers say they do. GC will fight hard but due to all that has went on they just cant matchup well with Richlands. As of now GC will be lucky to go 5-5. I would almost say Richlands could play only their 2nd string and still win by 2 tds. I am surprised none of the GC situation has not already leaked out. I am seriously thinking of attending the Lee High @ Powell Valley game instead because of how bad I know Richlands will roll.:(
If Lee gets past Haysi then there is no way that Honaker beats Lee. If GC hits their free throws then they win the game easy but thats the way it goes sometimes. Congrats to Honaker on a well played game, they came out fired up and GC came out flat.
YEah most likely this scenario is going to play but it will not be set in stone until after all of the championship games this weekend. There is a chance that if New Mexico State were to beat Boise State then VT could end up in a BCS bowl, although Boise will prolly beat them by 40. As a VT fan I will enjoy the matchup but VT really deserves a better opponent than Tennessee. VT is in the top 12 of the BCS and Tennessee is not even ranked therefore it makes no sense that VT will have to play UT rather than a better team.
It is a no win situation for VT, if they win the bowl game then it's not a big deal because all we did was beat a 7-5 Tennessee team. It would not be an impressive win. Then there is the other side and that Tennessee could possibly win. I understand that they want bowl games that they can sell out but VT deserves much better competition!!!
First, I like how you read my post and then proceeded to put words into it and suggest that I was implying things that I did not. Very .......clever, you possibly could apply for a job with the CRU or if not there perhaps with Al Gore, he is pretty good at twisting the evidence to support his agenda..........just curious do you have an agenda?
Please quote the exact time and place that I indicated that all evidence of global warming was falsified.............I am waiting.................still waiting.............fact is I never once uttered or typed such a thing. I also said that
I never once suggested that all lecturers have an agenda, I actually said did it ever occur TO you that the person just POSSIBLY had an agenda," big difference in what I typed and what you quoted. Fact is many don't even realize that they are part of the agenda, they just regurgitate statistics and so called facts without looking at the subjective view behind them. Many of these specialist are honest and reasonable in their position and do not have FRAUD as their agenda. There is a difference in being wrong and being EVIL. When someone knowingly promotes false information that is evil and rooted in some agenda, usually MONEY$$$$$$$$
If you choose to believe that the 1,079 emails and 72 documents are all part of some vast right wing conspiracy, then please do so, but be sure to swallow it down with a nice cold drink of Kool-aid. I find it rather interesting that you believe the so called JUNK SCIENCE and the peddlers that promote it but you refuse to believe the very emails and documents which these same charlatans have sent. Oh, wait a minute, they didn't actually send them, I bet George Bush had someone do it.......
Furthermore, I totally believe that BOTH SIDES have long participated in dishonesty, I am ready willing and perfectly able to admit that, I have no allegiance, I am not not loyal to the modern progressives nor their trumped up creations, I likewise am not loyal to the Repubs and the Oil industry. I am loyal to America and find ALL CORRUPTION distasteful and ruinous.
In your last sentence you stated "there are two sides to every story." Why is it that you suddenly find reason to complain when the OTHER SIDE reveals it's story? Shouldn't you be practicing what you are preaching? Sounds rather hypocritical........
Finally, if you choose to stand on the side that says that the "SCIENCE IS SETTLED, " please do so, go right ahead, but that is a rather CLOSED OPINION and solely based on a subjective viewspoint. I will continue to say that the SCIENCE IS NOT SETTLED, and say so with overwhelming support. I could come up with a list of reputable scientist that say it is not MAN-MADE. In your world everyone agrees with the INCONVENIENT LIE of Al Gore and these falsifying nutjobs.....
Fiction: Humans are the largest driving force behind it.
First of all it seems that someone needs to get their facts straight and quit listening to some made up theory by Al Gore. The fact is that Al Gore made all of $2 million in his political career, which was well over 20 years. However, in the 10-12 years that he has been pushing global warming very hard he has made $100 million. He is in it for the money. He doesn't even believe what he is preaching because he flies around in his private jet to conferences to speak on the subject. Seems to be a little hypocritical to me!!!
Now on to the actual subject of global warming. There is no scientific proof for man-made global warming. More and more scientists every day are saying that it doesn't exist. But if anyone was to do some of their own research they would realize that there is no such thing. Yes, glaciers are melting in parts of the polar ice caps but in other parts they are expanding. That is a FACT. It has been that way for thousands of years. The earth goes through warming and cooling trends, it always has. And trying to blame this on carbon emissions is ridiculous. It is a proven FACT that 70%-80% of carbon emissions come from volcanoes. So there is no way that an increase in that 20% could cause this change.
Al Gore is a joke who doesn't even believe in what he says, BOTTOM LINE IS HE IS IN IT FOR THE MONEY. Man-made globabl warming is a hoax. I dont understand how some people in America can be so simple minded and be fooled this easily. The problem is no one is willing to do the reasearch on their own. A lot of people just take what the liberal media feeds them and then they run with it. The Global Warming hoax is just evidence that proves how easily people are fooled and scared into believing something. People need to begin to have a mind of their own and do some research. Warming and cooling does happen but it happens in trends and is in NO WAY caused by man.
Man-made Global Warming is a fallacy and does NOT exist!!!!
I talked with a former VT player a few days after the G-town scrimmage and he voiced many, many concerns about the team.
The biggest issue with VT right now is health. They have a few key players that are out and will be out for a couple weeks so that will be their biggest obstacle right now but overall when healthy they will be tough to beat
