All in good humor, my friend!  Enjoy

Drinking game idea of the day.  We all listen to the game and for every time Ryan lets his homer-side loose, we take a shot.
How drunk would the board be by halftime?

I'm going to TRY (try being the operative word, here) to stay neutral.....we'll see I suppose....I may be drunk before I get there....and I don't drink....

I messaged Ryan about this on Facebook earlier in the season, how would he react on air if Blacksburg won on a Hail Mary...  Lol

For our sake we better hope GMan gets drunk with us. If he doesnt Im sure after reading our F bombs and other creative language he would be dropping the Hammer on all of us!

I can't tell you anything about a "team".  As for "identity", Tom Walker is an author.  He wrote Fort Apache, Bronx NY.  It was later made into a movie featuring Paul Newman.
Glad I could help you out there!

I believe RCITYHOO is referring to the 1971 Radford team.  That one team alone had 10 players play at the Division 1 level.  Frank Beamer was also on the coaching staff at Radford at that time as well.

And yes, RCITYHOO, those Radford teams, especially the '71 and '72 teams, should be in the conversation.

This wasn't about putting you down.  It was about comparing the histories Clintwood and Giles.  For being a fan of the "big brother",  you yourself always seem to think you have something to prove.  Thank the good lord you're in the minority of the fan base.  

This post is in regards to the "Claiming state titles" before 1970 remark while referring to Narrows.
In the 1920's and 1930's there were three classes in Virginia.  A, B, C.  The only class that had an organized system for a state champion was the A class which was the biggest schools. The VHSL record book lists those. In 1954 the "A" class greatly expanded as a lot of the B Class teams joined A. The future SW District teams of Graham, Tazewell, Richlands, Grundy and Va High joined class A.  Covington was another team that joined class A. Class A rules stated that you must play a certain number of games vs other class A schools so SW schools started playing the Roanoke area Class A schools such as Fleming, Patrick Henry Roanoke and Jefferson.  Grundy was even playing E. C. Glass in the 1960's. The schools from Roanoke were happy because they no longer had to travel to Richmond, Tidewater and NOVA to get class A games.
But in the 1920's and 1930's the smaller classes would play regional and state class playoff games if both champions could work it out.  There was no requirement to play these games. They were optional and many times schools declined. In 1939 Narrows was champions of their district and Bedford champion of their District.  They played a playoff game and Narrows won.  The Class C team from the Eastern Shore declined to travel to Narrows to play so Narrows claims a championship. In 1938 all the Class C teams declined to play so again Narrows claims a championship. There were very few years that these games went the full playoff rounds. 
Other examples:
1928  Big Stone Gap defeated Christiansburg and South Boston in Class B playoff games. Could probably claim a state championship
1929  Big Stone Gap tied Saltville in a class B playoff game and advanced on a coin flip and then tied Washington - Lee from Arlington.  Washington - Lee traveled all the way to Big Stone Gap in 1929.
There are lots of these games I have found but since I am still working on many Eastern class B and C teams I don't have a clear picture of what all went on.

So, two football teams from the MED reached the final 4 from 1993 to 2011?
 
Thanks for back-door proving my point!

Peoples has been working with the RB's since spring ball. He's a RB now. And we aren't going to have a "#1" back this year. Peoples, TMac, McClease and Holston are all going to touch the ball every game. Each brings a different skill set and that's what Fu wants in his backfield. The days of 1000 yard rushers is gone. It's now a committee. 

I heard Steven Peoples is RB1 On VT's depth chart. 

False. There is no more FB in the new offense. The RB spot is listed as Peoples OR McMillian. That's the exact same way it was listed last year, but with Rogers instead of Peoples, and Rogers took the first handoff vs. Liberty last year. 
Fuente likes that Peoples is the best blocker of the group and has solid hands, things that TMac struggles with. 

Sixcat I had the same type of reaction to the turf at Mitchell. It broke me out bad when I played I hate that for the kids.

School system should have saved up for field work
  While being a current athlete and coach, I am excited about the possibility of having a smooth surface to play on, however the priorities of the city has been to increase education, create jobs and grow tourism.
A revamped field does not address these concerns. While discipline and physical education is a byproduct of athletics, the current field has not prevented our football team and soccer team from winning state titles.
Also, while the city is already having to refinance debt in order to pay for an elementary school renovation, oftentimes one has to borrow money for a need, but it is never a good idea to borrow money for a want.
Attempts have been made to get money from the NFL, and athletic boosters have not garnered much traction.
The lesson we often teach our kids in the community is if you want something, you should save up for it.

Galax   This was a letter to the editor of the Galax Gazette printed in yesterday's edition.  Mr. Helmick is a city councilman and very successful financial adviser with Edward Jones in Galax.  This letter is quite tame compared to a lot of other sentiment around town!

No joke!  It's been a little over 30 years since Galax and GW were in the same district. If everyone behaves like responsible adults, I think it will turn into one of the best rivalries in VHSL regardless of sport.

Agreed, and I feel like everyone will...I'm hopeful, anyway.
