Who else had "20 point comeback in 8 minutes" on their Backyard Brawl Bingo Card?

Crazy catch made by Bluefield's RJ Hairston on the one yard line. Ball gets tipped up and falls into Hairston's lap as he's on the ground. Bluefield punches it in one play later. Bluefield recovers the ensuing onside kick. Bluefield 34 Greenbrier East 19.

Would love it if Virginia High pulled an upset, but it's unlikely. Without Radfords QB it would be close. If it only came down to coaching,  Virginia High wins.
Patterson > Crist
Radford 35 - only because of talent,  not coaching.  
VHS 14- improving every game,  but need to find an identity on offense and be able to pass some to keep defenses honest. 

Got to see the Crig tonight. Had been a while since we had gotten to speak. Unfortunately it looks like we finally found something to stump the Crig: How to upload Season 6 to YouTube

I don't think this is going to be competitive but I wasn't going to pass up the opportunity to make that joke in the thread title

This game definitely lived up to the hype. Coach Patterson is a class act for the Bearcats and John Battle has shown a lot of improvement.

But, they're "Falcon Awesome".

If I'm not mistaken, Abingdon's abrupt drop from 7th to not getting a single vote is the largest drop in the history of the SWVA poll

I can't recall when three WV teams were ranked the same week.

Good call on this game. 

Hopefully VHS can get healthy. I wonder if Abingdon may be a bit overrated? Not taking anything away from Battle. It just seems like Abingdon may be going through a down time in talent. I was at the VHS game last night. Virginia High has to get better on the line of scrimmage on offense. They also need to find enough of a passing game to open things up for the run game. I don't think VHS is a bad team, but last night they beat themselves. I expect them to improve. 
VHS 28

AFTER THE WHISTLE 
WILL BE BACK FOR IT'S 6TH SEASON BEGINNING NEXT WEEK WITH EPISODE 1
We did record an episode this week but due to technical difficulties or "testical difficulties" as Crigger called it, we were unable to salvage the entire episode. We will be uploading clips of our BDD, CUMBERLAND, HOGO, M7 AND SWD Pre-season Preview next week as we were able to salvage some of that footage. 
SEE YA NEXT WEEK!!
