parsons 178 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 LOL! Statistical data is next to worthless in comparing who should be favored in high school football games. May be one of the dumbest things you've ever said, and there have been a ton of them. I'm sure you're going to get some "amens" from those unschooled in probabilities, but if the uneducated is the crowd you're playing to, have at it......

Tigers_07 72 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 this is gonna be a knock-down, slug-fest, barn-burner, and any other words you can think of when these two teams go at it for the SWD title. and to answer Ryan4VT question on the over/under passing- I say over by just 10 yrds passing attempt- I say under by 5 points- I say under by 20 points the factor that is gonna play for this game is who's defense shows. if the richlands d that played union down to the wire shows up, that could spell trouble for richlands, and if Abingdon's d that played graham shows up, that will be disastrous for Abingdon. this is me pulling a lee corso "Abingdon took to richlands last year and won the SWD, that was last year, this is now, richlands is a better team now than they was when they faced Abingdon, Abingdon is favored to some folks to win the SWD again, BUT NOT SO FAST......Abingdon gets their first taste of defeat and RICHLANDS gets payback and shows Abingdon who rules the SWD, give me that Richlands helmet" Ryan4VT and Bigrhsfan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain man 121 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Just went back to the 2014 posts on this game. Same old sh#t. UVA- Richlands by as many as they want Ryan- Richlands by 2+ TD's Etc... Etc... See you all Friday. Hope everyone stays healthy this week and Good Luck to both teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsons 178 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 This is probably the dumbest thing you have put on here Do you understand what it means when you say a team is "favored" to win? For dummies, favored=probability greater than 50% to win. Your buddy is saying that statistics are WORTHLESS in determining the FAVORITE. Not the winner, just the team more likely to win. Please tell me what criteria you would use to determine a favorite? Uniform color maybe????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose111874 967 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Well it was worth a shot, I may come anyway I believe Union may be able to handle Eastside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigrhsfan 884 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 No, Mance wouldn't want to change the game to Saturday, he likes to keep to a routine, but I LOVE High School Football on a Saturday afternoon ! I don't know what it is, but it just feels different. Maybe it's because about the only time you see that here in Va is when it's a playoff game, but it just seems different to me and it has a different feel to it......at least to me. When I played in Maryland we played regular season games on Saturday once in a while ( usually 2 to 3 a season ) so maybe that has something to do with the way I feel about it.

goose111874 967 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Yeah I wish swva would have a game of the week and play it on a Saturday so everyone could watch their team friday and watch game of the week Saturday, probably would work if they tried it but they would have to dodge va tech and tennessee's games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And picking Richlands against its opponent ensures that I am right about 90% of the time.

old_school 78 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 This one could get very interesting. Maybe Abingdon will do a Brady and deflate the balls a little. The only thing I can state for sure about this game is that a team in Blue and White will win. Hard to say which one but I have to give the edge to Richlands. Payback is hell they say and I have a feeling Richlands will be ready for this one. It won't surprise me at all if Abingdon pulls it out but I have to go with the Cedar Bluff Cyclones in this one.

BigO 316 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Saturday is out.....UT vs Bama......and one of these days we are going to beat them and I want to see it again. Razor has been very complimentary of AHS, no doubt. In an earlier post in a different thread I mentioned my concerns and was complimentary of RHS. But when it comes down to game week people start talking smack. That's what makes it fun. The only problem is that there are TONS more RHS fans on here than AHS fans.....so I learned long ago that if you want to talk smack against RHS you must do it cordially, with manners....whilst they run their mouth how ever they see fit. Lol I'd say Reed/Colobro have a game plan that hasn't been seen thus far. Schemes, match ups, etc. Remember, this ain't a Bowles coached team any more. They devised a heck of a game plan last year. That's the one good thing about playing a team with long term head coach.....they show consistencies, habits, designs, etc, so a good opposing staff can scheme against them. Now granted, Mance is one heck of a good coach, no doubt. But I guarantee you he's scratching his head more this week asking himself what is AHS going to do then vice versa. It's going to be a very good game. I'm picking AHS for many reasons....Sturgill is whale of a QB that has a great head on his shoulders, has some great receivers, etc......but the main reason I'm picking them is Reed/Colobro. Which I know it sounds weird to pick coaches being the difference when you are going against Mance but I explained that above. Coaching (play calls) were the difference last year. I lied, the main reason I'm picking AHS is just because I want them to win. And if everyone else was honest they would say the same. This isn't RHS vs Grundy or AHS vs VHS. This game matches up so well on paper that they only way to pick who you think wins is to go with emotion. RHS wants revenge and AHS wants to go undefeated. Who wants what they want more? See you guys Friday. BlueRazor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucfan64 307 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 45-18 Richlands Why? I flipped a coin, it landed on heads, which was designated for Richlands. Why the score? Because I am 45 years old and I got the number 18 based on the fact that my favorite dog lived to be 18 years old. so much for stats and probability.......
