BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 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. ADs decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueinbama 259 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 I. FREAKING. HATE IT. Such a bad decision, schools too cheap for a hotel. Just pure stupidity, and I'd tell Goforth that. I'm sure he'll lose sleep over your angst. Lol! Serious question: Does anything actually make you happy? You seem to have a constant case of butt hurt, 24/7, 365.

futbolking 766 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Not sure I've seen a 6 o clock start on a friday kickoff. It is what it is. Might be hard for some of the Union folks to get there in time for kickoff. Not sure about the school being too "cheap" for a hotel. That would be the responsibility of the boosters and parents to raise money for just this sort of thing. Schools these days really don't have a dime to spare for anything, they have been cut to the bone. Not the A.D.'s fault if there is no money for a hotel stay. Regardless, I wish them luck and hope they come home with a "w". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 I was told so Union would get home earlier. Still a moronic decision. Why? Its not like they have school on Saturday morning... Chappy, BigWinners, ghos88t and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarhead24219 440 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 VHSL pays for hotels, travel expenses .Travis remembers the kids at Clarke county, no sleep out of schedule ect.As for the 6 pm time???? Don't know but I would think it gives the kids less time to overthink the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWVAgridiron 1,469 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 The schools have to pay for travel expenses but then they can fill out a reimbursement packet and send it to VHSL within 30 days. VHSL usually reimburses as long as documents are provided such as receipts, mileage tracking sheet, etc. jarhead24219 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarhead24219 440 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Let's just hope the Bears that played Richlands shows up, and not the ones who played Lee. I did see some Dan River scouts ther at the Lee game, they left at halftime, they were not impressed at all with Unions line play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futbolking 766 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Here's the deal, Dan River and Appomattox think they are going to win this weekend. They think it won't be close. They are already making plans for Salem in week 5. Prove them wrong. Let the discussion at their homes on Thanksgiving day be "What happened against Union" or "What happened against Giles"... I'm not sold on these 2 teams being so much better than the rest as their fan base would make you believe. This isn't Chatham they're facing. Make them earn every bit of it, if they do come out on top. Where there's a will, there's a way. They may have more athletes than Union or Giles, but one thing that Union and Giles will both have more of is heart and that's just a fact that's been proven over and over by our boys from SWVA. Been watching this game for a long, long time and I absolutely believe that Appo and Dan River could go down this weekend.

They are already making plans for Salem in week 5. Prove them wrong. When I came to the Graham/Narrows game, I heard multiple Graham fans talking about already having hotel rooms in Salem. One guy said he had already booked his room. I laughed a little. Way too early for that kind of talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghos88t 68 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 If Appomattox and Union both win this weekend, they will play each other in round 3 the following weekend. Still a lot of football to be played before round 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's totally what it is, its all about me and not how it affects fan turnout and the kids, Here's a positive statement from me-both you and the other guy are positively wrong. How bout that?

trumpet1988 289 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Wise County has a half day of school on Friday anyway. They get the full week off next week for Thanksgiving Break and the half day is because it is the day before Thanksgiving Break. Trust me. I know. Really, if the players and band students miss anything, it won't be much. GMan and futbolking 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
