the_general 13 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Soutbound, I can't help it, I'm still laughing, I would have to think that ol' Nadoball had to chuckle at that one as well. I did!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Actually when I hear "Enter Sandman" I think of seeing Metallica live and of memories from that period in my life. When I say Richlands did it a few times... they did it a long time before Abingdon did. I did notice Powell Valley playing Thunderstruck (not sure how long they've been doing it) but I've been trying to get Richlands to come out to that song for years. The weather tie-in is perfect. Speaking of being original... Why do Abingdon's pants look exactly like Richlands? And why do the stripes on Abingdon's helmets look exactly like Richlands? And why does abingdon end pre-game warm ups exactly like Richlands? I'm not complaining about it, just curious. Since this thread has gotten way off topic... I think Abingdon has a chance to pull an upset. I'm not saying they will but I think they could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty_owls 10 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 No way will Abingdon beat Tazewell, the bulldogs are coming to AHS hungry for a win and will not leave without it. Sorry guys.... AS far as Abingdon coming out to Enter Sandman..... You come out to a song that sets a certain expectation you better be able to back it up..... and AHS doesnt back anything up...

Nadoball 18 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 i like talking to people my own age. lol The reason I am not going to respond to you any more. The reason Abingdon gets bashed year in and year out is because u guys talk smack and build all the hype for nothing and the team is lucky to win 5 games. You guys should take some advice and let the season dictate the smack talking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4andcloudofdust 11 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I guess I have to get into this one as well.... I come from a very small SWVA football program. One year we had 19 players on the team, but still made the playoffs. So, numbers do not matter to a point. What is wrong with Abingdon Football is heart... Like someone said, there are 900+ kids in the school, but only 35 varsity players come out, up and coming seniors quit... What is wrong with Abingdon Football is the town does not support them, the school does not support them and they get 11 starters from 35 and start 10th graders because they don't have the depth. Until the community gets behind the coach and the program, it will not grow to everyones expectations. As to bragging on this forum. I see more Marion and other schools putting Abingdon down, that Abingdon people bragging. Abingdon was taught a lesson last week. A valuable lesson. Really good programs and teams come prepared to play and make changes when necessary. It will be interesting to see what happens, what changes have been made. So, everyone needs to stop the trash talking... and let the play on the field show what they have. It doesn't matter what sport it is from Football to Swimming. Good Luck every team... And remember that every play could be your last play. The team at Sullivan South can attest for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And remember that every play could be your last play. The team at Sullivan South can attest for that. Dear 4andacloud: I detect some age and wisdom in your post. You've been around this whole thing for a while, I suspect. I agree in many respects with your analysis. However, I think that the biggest problem with Abingdon football, and what has come or is coming to other schools around here, is that the guys who should be playing are just too soft to go out. I think it is a nationwide epidemic. We've become far too soft as a people. Where there is a rich tradition, like Richlands, no pun intended, such a move is slower to materialize. We've spoiled our kids with cable t.v., computers, ipods and x-boxes. Football is a blood sport. It's a "man's" sport. It's tough and the toughest usually prevails. Two a days, nutcracker drills, "burma road", grass drills, gassers, etc. are what it takes to make a really good team. The guys that are out do those things. The guys that aren't playing are probably very good at "Madden 09" and get their satisfaction from a new high score. Abingdon was tough in the 70s and 80s. They had a few good teams in the 90s. They should now have about 150 guys out in grades 9-12 and cut to 50 varsity and 50 j.v. But they don't. They have what they've got out there. I do believe that the 45 or so they do have out are the best guys in that whole school - maybe not the most talented athletically (although Hess is in that category), they are the ones that are not too soft to do what it takes and I can guarantee that they work as hard as any other team around. Bowles has taken a lot of heat. Maybe he should, but he's been around football for a long time and I'm certain that he's doing what he can with what he has. To the rest of you guys, unless we turn things around and become a country built upon a work ethic again, the rest of you will start to see this too. Two cents worth from an old guy.

falconawesome 10 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I like your post. To me it seems the kids on the field don't really care if they win or lose. Like Lance said they like all the things that go with football except the actual football game. To many kids pampered if you ask me, have everything handed to them from the start he got a Lexus, he got a mercedes, and on and on. I think a good place to start would be to hire a hard nosed football coach. i play for abingdon and just so its clear none of us have a mercedes or a lexus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance 228 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 i play for abingdon and just so its clear none of us have a mercedes or a lexus what did you get? Someone needs an Iroc and a mullet...and they should be a linebacker...only fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconfansrock 11 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I am no longer a player. I played 96, 97, and 98. I have grown up. Whether or not the others are players, I couldn't say. But I try to always keep what I say respectable and for the most part positive. But thank you Beano! be safe out there! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
