Mountain man 121 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Abingdon. As the year goes along you will see I am very sophisticated compared to our other fans. Just wait until Southbound comes out of summer hibernation and starts talking about victory tacos. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Johnson 95 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Yep...the State ends at Roanoke...always has. Assuming that is correct and assuming that our rankings are an embarrassment and a disaster, which steps should be taken to correct the situation?

Mountain man 121 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Rod. IMO Marion should be out. That would be a start. I do not think Canes or Plywood King would disagree. Again for God's sake NO DISRESPECT MEANT. Just what I have heard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Johnson 95 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 I'd admit I was wrong and amend my list accordingly instead of swinging my e-peen. You write for a Tier-D high school sports website, friend. Not SI. Not Washington Post. Not TechSideline or TheSabre. Not even 247. I will certainly admit that we are wrong if the season plays out that way, just as I did last season. I'm quite comfortable with who I write for and where we stand, I have no illusions about that. Chris Horne is a good friend and a great guy who does outstanding work. I like a lot of stuff that Brandon Parker does, as well though I don't know him personally. Haven't ever read 247 so I can't speak to what they do. I'll take your word for it.

Just what I have heard Should their play on the field dictate it, they will be removed during one of the next 16-17 releases of the rankings. Thanks for your feedback. No disrespect taken.

Mountain man 121 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Ryan. You are correct about starting this thread. My post about not winning district this year sent it into hyperdrive. So, after some thought, I agree with you about your profile bet. It is all in good fun. I accept. We will have to meet if I lose though because I do not know how to add a profile picture!!

Plywood_King 518 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Rod. IMO Marion should be out. That would be a start. I do not think Canes or Plywood King would disagree. Again for God's sake NO DISRESPECT MEANT. Just what I have heard Yeah, they might just skip football in Smyth County this year. I would imagine that Marion will easily win the County championship, but I would cap their wins around "6," and expect somewhere between a 4-6 and 6-4 record. I hope I'm wrong, but man, graduation was not a friend this year. Canes00 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueRazor 1,147 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Rod have somebody if you don't have time to engage this site and read it. Yes we are touchy about the State ending at Roanoke until you guys at the end of the season have to acknowledge us because.....Gate City.....Clintwood and Haysi in the past.....Richlands and Honaker by some miracle shows up deep in the playoffs. Of course Giles most recently. So there is great resentment towards your board. I to used to post there but left for the obvious reasons. Lance and Gman have done a great job here we think. I will say it again......do whatever it takes to get Gmans input and it will give you a great deal of help if you really want to know about our teams here in SWVA.

I've extended an invitation to GMan to send me his input into our weekly rankings asking that he send me his list on Sunday morning each week. I believe that he has accepted. Sorry that you felt driven away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigrhsfan 884 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I want to 2nd what Razor said Rod ! I like how you have handled the way everyone has spoke their mind. You'll find that we give each other a hard time about each others school, and the Friday night we play each other we can't stand one another, but we are from SWVA and we love our football and our towns and we pull for each other in the playoffs. We often feel like the east doesn't take us very seriously for the most part so we can be a little touchy about that. Especially since we feel like our teams have for the most have proven themselves time and again in the playoffs. But it sounds like you may be willing to listen to some of us now and I hope this is the start of making VA Preps better, and more appealing to people on this end of the state.

GC_Quincy 582 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 No disrespect intended, but as far as as SWVA being a "blind spot" for you, considering the number of champions that come from this area I think I'd have my stuff together by now. My goodness, I met GMan on VaPreps YEARS ago and it was the same way back then. BlueRazor and Deleted Account 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
