I'm sure that's the case, because the alternative would be for the RT to not know what the Hell they're talking about.

BigO 316 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 I was going to say the exact same thing. Most interesting to me was the 1 point AHS win over Northside. A 9-1 team vs a 4-6 team....1 point victory. Hmm? I know the level of competition and SOS is to be considered, but geez man....1 point??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suit Up 82 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Now everyone knows Abingdon is mediocre at best and hardly even deserves to be in the presence of such 3A royalty. They only put up 50 plus points on gate city, shut out Marion and beat that always easy to defeat Richlands squad. And that slow Graham team they lost to, Psht shouldn't even be in the playoffs.

Bluefield researcher 1,197 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Roanoke Times has the same disease all the press has . See earlier post about Bristol. Can't embarrass our local teams and predict that they are gonna get their butts kicked. FalconVoice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconVoice 38 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Roanoke Times has the same disease all the press has . See earlier post about Bristol. Can't embarrass our local teams and predict that they are gonna get their butts kicked. Exactly. It's pretty comical sometimes, and knowing that's what they do, I just have a good laugh about it. No disrespect to Northside, and maybe they even win or beat Abingdon by a lot (everything is possible in sports), but knowing what they do coming in, it's a nice little chuckle when I see their score predictions involving non-Timesland teams.

sixcat 2,936 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Robert Anderson is a very nice and knowledgeable high school athletics fan. With that said, most of Roanoke and the surrounding area is very parochial. Like most small media markets, they pander to their base. No different than the television stations in Roanoke.

LegendatLegion 109 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 U will never see them pick against Salem, Glenvar. i'm guessing that's been pretty effective picking the last 9-10 years. I don't think i would ever pick against Salem until the state semi-finals most years myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixcat 2,936 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Must give Mr. Anderson proper recognition. He was closer on the Abingdon Northside outcome than anyone else in the state. I still firmly stand behind my previous comments though! FalconVoice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
