tanyadv06 10 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Hardly anyone is underestimating the power of Liberty, but no team is impossible to beat. I think we have great competition with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLU 10 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Hey, maybe it is a good luck thing for you all. I will keep predicting L's these last games..good luck. I guess i need to predict bluefield to loose too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futbolking 766 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Bassett??? you've got to be kidding me.... I don't recall Bassett EVER beating a SouthWest District team. I hope you keep thinking that Seminole teams are that much better and your schedule is that much tougher. You'll see when you make the trip and get smacked in the mouth. Do you forget just a couple years back....Graham 52....Liberty 14....and it could've been much much worse, if not for the nearly 150 yards in penalties against Graham...

DaveMann 10 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Anyone think that having the game at home is a disadvantage? Traditionally most people view it as an advantage, but this week I have heard otherwise. I wanted to get everyone’s opinion. By the way I think home field is a huge advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CougarFan 10 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 You seem to have selective memory, too. Do you not remember the 37-8 beating Liberty put on Grundy the year after the Graham-Liberty semi? Liberty came into the game 8-4, while Grundy was 10-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momw 10 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I agree. We have an all star team and I think they can hold their own with any team. They have just got to come out strong and stay strong all the way to the end. This team has a lot of players who can be utilized to help win the game. The coaches just need to use them. the crowd needs to really get behind these guys and let them know we are behind them win or lose. But I fell a win.

Tornado_Gal 10 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I wish Richlands the best of luck against Liberty. Richlands has came along way. I think if they want it bad enough they will get it. Liberty seems to be a tough team of what I hear. Goodluck Blues! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUMAMA 10 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I am so proud of our young men and feel they are quite capable of getting the win. Stay focused ,carry out your asignments,minimize the off sides tech penalties, no girls on Friday night lol, Blues fans need to to be ready to give our boys 100% vocal and air horns ,cow bells and let Liberty know they are in our house.All are business need to post signs supporting our BLUES and give Storm Warnigs to Liberty.Our coaches need to keep a cool head and think what about what got them here especially in our shut out games. With all that being said Richlands 28 Liberty 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee 10 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Based on the recent performance of both teams, MaxPreps predicts that Richlands (VA) will beat Liberty (Bedford, VA) on 12/3/2005 with a final score of 22 - 14. Looks good to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] A few things.... 1. Where does the word "Bassett" appear in this thread? In another thread, I mentioned once that I thought the Bengals _could_ beat Salem. Further down, I acknowledged that this was mostly wishful thinking on my part. Reading is fundamental, you know. 2. Top to bottom, I do think the Seminole District is more competitive than the SWD. And that's mainly because the Seminole has more teams. There really aren't any "bad" teams in either district. All of this is purely my opinion, mind you. That said, the fact is that Seminole teams are required to play a greater number of good teams as part of their district affiliation. 7 is still greater than 4, after all. 3. I really enjoy your "you" references a lot. I'm a Richlands guy (perhaps the user name might've tipped you off). I do happen to live in Bedford, and I follow Liberty closely as a result. But let there be no doubt at all about my allegiance. My main point in posting about LHS here was to make sure that Richlands folks weren't overlooking them. I knew that would be a quixotic exercise at the outset. 4. I remember the 2001 season very well. In fact, I told everyone in Bedford that they were going to get hammered by one of the best Graham teams in that program's history. Since we're dredging up history, I guess you also remember what happened to Graham the following week in the championship game. With all due respect, the G-Men provided the template for letdowns that I'd like to see Richlands avoid. Is there anything else, or are we done here?

techfan 43 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 In all fairness you did use the word Bassett in the 6th post in this thread when comparing our schedule in going undefeated to theirs with one loss. But I really just wanted to get my prediction in. My prediction: Richlands 26-LB 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In espousing the point that Liberty played a tougher schedule overall (an argument I'm hearing a lot around my adopted place of residence), I offered Bassett as a direct comparison to Abingdon. That wasn't entirely fair, as Liberty's non-district slate was also filled out by Northside and Western Albemarle. In terms of schedule comparisons, those two probably match up with the Highlands schools. Throw in GC and Honaker on the Richlands equation, and the schedule argument is probably a wash.

87Tornado 10 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I hate making predictions because firstly, I can't foresee the future, and secondly, if you're wrong you have to eat crow. Therefore, I will say what I'd like to see happen. IMHO, despite all the high-scoring, one-sided victories this year, Richlands is yet to play a complete game to the best of their capability. That being said, I would like to see the "PERFECT STORM" roll thru Richlands on Saturday. If the Blues can maintain a level of play at their maximum potential on both sides of the ball for 4 complete quarters, I feel that at the end of the game, the scoreboard may look something like: RHS - 26 LB - 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichlandsAlum 678 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 As someone who predicted a Liberty victory, I'll be happy to eat crow. In fact, I'll be happy to host any travelers to Lynchburg the following week. We can dine at the finest restaurant in Bedford (I'll just brown bag my black bird).

futbolking 766 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 post wasn't directed at you....If you read through the threads, maybe you'll see what I was implying. Some Liberty fans were implying that Liberty and the rest of the seminole district had a tougher schedule than the SWD and Liberty had played tougher competition than Richlands...and mentioned Bassett... anyway, I'm on your side, don't bite my head off. I simply hit reply to a post that I wanted to respond to, I don't have the time or energy to go through all the posts and point out which one it was...hope that answered your question.
