Unionguy_2017 288 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Let's get it going. I think Union came out flat last night against Lee due to not being motivated. I don't think that will happen this week. Thoughts? Most people seem to be counting Union out. I think that shock some of the folks up state this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWVAgridiron 1,469 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Union will need to jump on Dan River early! If they start out next week like last night then it could get ugly quick for the Bears. I'm cheering for the Bears but I gotta go with Dan River by 3 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futbolking 766 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 If Union can play a physical game and control the clock, they absolutely can win this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vol Hater 276 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Stay in the old Appalachia t-formation and run the ball then play action pass to the te's wear them down imo dan river 24 union 20 due to unions kicking game is not very good and that's being nice about. futbolking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union_Fan 2,156 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 I agree about the T. Union has experimented with multiple formations this year, but the passing game just isn't where it needs to be. We're not going to be able to match DR's speed across the board. Need to go with the full house backfield with #5 at FB, and wear the Wildcats down. Work in some tosses and passes off of that.

BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Per Union's AD. Game against Dan River will be Friday at 6 pm. Not sure what I think about that. Lol. I. FREAKING. HATE IT. Such a bad decision, schools too cheap for a hotel. Just pure stupidity, and I'd tell Goforth that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 What why at 6 I was told so Union would get home earlier. Still a moronic decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vol Hater 276 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 I guess they trying to save money for hotel rooms in case they have to travel the next two weeks. Just my opinion or they don't like staying overnight with what happened at clarke co last year was not ready after long drive and not sleeping well just a hutch.

Vol Hater 276 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Don't know why 12 is playing fullback anyway should be 5 almost 230 pounds and runs downhill none of this trying to juke carp. BigWinners 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GC_Quincy 582 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 If I was a Union fan, I know what I'd think about it. That's BS in my opinion. starcityfootballfan and BigWinners 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sup_rbeast 296 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 I was told so Union would get home earlier. Still a moronic decision.You play all year to get here and then make a decision that could end your entire season basing it on what time you will get home?!? That's smart... IMO, if you aren't willing to give up some Saturdays in November or December, coaching may not be an ideal line of work. The team should always be priority #1, not convenience.

Union_Fan 2,156 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Union fans can probably catch the end of the Giles/Appo game Had the Union/DR game been on a Saturday, I was going to come up Friday to watch that game and spend the night near Danville.

Union_Fan 2,156 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 As many people went up to Clarke on Friday and spent the night I'm hoping we'll have a good turnout. I'm sure a lot of factors went into this decision. If we beat DR we could conceivably have 2 more 4 + hour trips the following two weeks. May not like it, but I'll be there Friday night.

Your exactly right, if we stay in the spread its gonna get ugly. I think it was 1989 when appy played bath co. Bath co was 12-0 and we were 7-5 and we went there and literally ran about 4 yards a play and beat them. The FB Shane Gibson broke the state record that day with 45 carries. That's the game plan union should go with vs. Dan River but easier said than done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniON_FoOtBaLL 68 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 You guys are right we need to stay in the T formation try to wear down the clock an dan river. If we try to spread were done.
