I'm hoping for Giles...lol

What a fantastic hijack of the C'burg v. Abingdon thread!!!  Well done, gentlemen, well done, indeed!

They were very impressive. I didn't realize they played the Celtics though. Congrats.

Way to roll over and crap yourselves against Georgia Tech, Hoos. Way to make our victory look even worse.

Sometimes, you need one of these for the same person...
 

DEFENSE!!!! clap clap.. DEFENSE!!!! clap clap ..DEFENSE!!!!

And no team with a schedule containing Vandy, UK, and an average of 3 joke OOC games should have the trouble UT-Knoxville has making a bowl game every single year...yet UT-Knoxville does.

You're right, he's the central cog.....no pun intended.

BlueTornadoLive â€@BlueTornadoLive 45m45 minutes ago Richlands defense held Lebanon to 40 yards offense. We also exceeded our scoring average of 48.8 ppg.

What a way with words!!

I believe this will be another game like Lee @ Ridgeview will be close, hoping the Generals come out with the win.

Can we just post our top 10 and not whine about somebody elses opinion. here is mine. sorry for the horizontal format . . . Using a cheap phone. 1. Union 2. Bluefield 3. Pulaski County 4. Radford. 5. Giles 6. Abingdon 7. Richlands 8. Graham 9. Lee 10. Honaker. poll buster. . . Bland county!

Bigrhsfan I hope your sleeping on the couch eating a lot of cheetos after the Honaker game ;).

I agree!  I saw that pic and was like "damn, those unis look nice"!

I'd seriously like to kick that bitch right in the nuts...

Why would it bother you what my opinion is.  I said nothing of the sort in terms of belittling Richlands, in fact I even stated "not to pick on Richlands" but everybody does it and also stated somewhere in there something along the lines of "who could blame a kid for going to a successful program".... 
 
You're beef with me is probably that I stated that Richlands will get out-coached somewhere along the way when they meet somebody with equal talent and I'll stick to that statement.  I don't care what you all say about Mance, he has had a history of losing in big games.  
 
Yes, Graham has had transfers in the past, but far more have transferred from Graham to Bluefield or Richlands over the years.  As long as it's legitimate and within the rules, there's noting wrong with it....it's when somebody openly recruits is when it's wrong....
 
And if you go back and read my posts on Virginia Preps accurately you'll see that I was referring to Ocean Lakes "OL"...when I made that comment about recruiting.. but read into it what you want
 
I'm an old man, I've got opinions and who the hell cares what I think???
 
 
Here's one of my posts from Va Preps...for all to see.
 
"Not to pick on Richland's here, because it happens all over the place. Who could blame a kid to go to a winner if they have a choice and a legitimate way to do so within the rules (like the JROTC thing...). Its when coach's approach kids and tell them they are more likely to get recognized or get a scholarship...that's when the line has been crossed, like at OL..."
 
Here's the one I think you have a problem with:
 
"Like I said, they have the athletes.  You don't have to worry about talent, they made sure of that.  Question mark will come down  coaching these kids up.  I don't doubt they will be good,  don't need a scrimmage to tell me that with the talent they had come in.  However, can they beat a well coached team in the semis or finals.  I say "no".
They had a much more talented team than Poquoson in 2010, but lost."     Like I said, I'm old and I'm opinionated, but I don't think I was belittling anybody at all.  If I did it surely wasn't intentional.     In fact, if my team isn't playing in December and yours is, I'll be making the trip and cheering them on.  May be worst enemies during the season, but we all seem to pull together come playoff time.   I've had to eat my share of crow in the past and I'm sure I'll eat more in the future.

Does that mean beamers coming to richlands?

Yes. I feel the same. Thornhill made a couple good catches on the deep balls that wouldnt normally be caught but we had our chances and didnt get it done. I mean you got a D1 commit to play DB, well .. i wont get started there. You can say well if we would have done this or that and if this or that wouldnt have happened, it woulda been a different ballgame but the bottom line is we did not get it done. Thats about all you can say. It was a great season with some good ballgames and alot of fun!! Congrats Haysi, Richlands, and Honaker on great seasons! There a many teams/fans that would have loved to be in our positions yesterday SWVA baby... we will be back!!!

I am still hurting from the Hornet sting I guess....lol
 
Great game! Wilsons defense surprised me and I know that they had only given up 5 TD"s all year but I really thought that if River had time to throw that they could not cover all of our receivers. They did for the most part and that surprised me. I really thought that after we got late into the game they would wear down because they had blown most people out and that with our physical play and having to battle until the end in several games this year we would take it to them and win. They did not wear down at all. They were very athletic all over the field and not as physical as Gate City but they were physical.
 
River for the most part had plenty of time to throw the ball but it had to be short hard thrown balls and that worked very effectively the whole game. When we tried to throw the ball down the seam or try a fly pattern they were just to fast to jump our receivers and we couldn't manage that. So blaming River for all the interceptions is not fair. Sometimes you just have to shake your head and say great play by the opponent. They were just more athletic than we were in many areas. That being said we had plenty of opportunities to win this game and just couldn't pull it out. Even with 5 TURNOVERS we had a chance to win. That is pretty amazing considering their defense.
 
Our defense was just as impressive as they were. They were definitely sore this morning and now know that FOOTBALL in the "Good Ole SWVA" is very smash mouth and physical. I know we earned there respect because many and I mean many of there fans talked to us before and after the game with nothing but respect. It has been mentioned in many areas that Wilson is hated and very arrogant people. My experience was nothing of the sort. Of course there were some idiots on there side that I had to ignore and there AD was not the best people person I have ever met but the overwhelming majority of the Wilson folks were just great and showed good sportsmanship. There football players also showed good sportsmanship in which I did not expect.
 
I want to say thanks to all of the members on this board for all the kind posts you made towards Richlands this season. I HATE to lose and despise the agony of defeat.....It hurts!!!!!! We had so many great games this year and in many instances during the season it wasn't clear that there was an overwhelming favorite unless it would have been Honaker in 1A and Gate City in 2A. There was some great football and I enjoyed all the games and all the "verbal  jousting" with you guys. We love our football and that's why we spend the time we do on here doing this. Cant wait for next year all ready and our Richlands boys will be back after it in the Fieldhouse working very hard for next year on Monday.
 
Congratulations to Honaker, Haysi and Richlands for there State Semis run. I wish so bad that it could have been different for all three. I know Haysi and Richlands raised some eyebrows and earned respect from how many fans traveled a good distance to support there team. No matter what they say don't believe that we just had about the same number of fans that Wilson had. It wasn't even close because we outnumbered them at least two to one.....just amazing! Big cudos to Tigers gang and all the Haysi fans that made that ridiculous trip to Essex.....that speaks for itself!
 
Thanks LANCE and GMan for providing this outlet for us all......I really appreciate all you guys do. To all the members here and good friends I have made....I hope you all have a Merry CHRISTMAS and a great New Year !
