cavalieratmosphere 6 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 I've seen a bunch of threads about the large colleges followed in the area (VT, UVA, Tennessee, etc.). How about a thread dedicated to the colleges in this area (UVA-Wise, E&H, ETSU, Concord, Bluefield, etc.)? So... UVA-Wise had their spring game earlier today. Concord also had theirs earlier today.

cavalieratmosphere 6 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 So what are your expectations this season for some of the local college teams (UVA-Wise, E&H, ETSU, Concord, Bluefield)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swva_havok_fan 1,261 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 As if Bluefield didn't suck enough already, now they have Dewey Lusk as coach, which was like throwing gasoline on an already out of control raging fire. ETSU is still expected to struggle. (picked next to last in the SoCon by Street & Smith's) Wise has me excited again after getting rid of Lusk and making a great hire in Damron. Hopefully they will continue their ascension to the upper tier of MEC teams. Don't really know anything about Concord except they're a MEC rival of Wise. E&H will contend for the ODAC title, just don't know if they can get over Randolph-Macon or not. Deleted Account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavalieratmosphere 6 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) ETSU picked 8th of 9 in both the SoCon preseason polls (Coaches & Media) UVA-Wise was picked 4th out of 11 in the MEC preseason poll, while Concord was picked 9th. E&H was chosen to win the ODAC conference title.

After the meltdown loss to Ferrum to open the season, it only snowballed downhill from there. They have the talent, but much like UVA-Wise during the Lusk era, not the coaching. If I were the AD, E&H's coach would've been gone after the Ferrum game. Totally inexcusable how they lost that game. Strange thing is, one of their three victories was over Washington & Lee who wound up winning the ODAC and getting the automatic bid into the D3 playoffs. They face Mount Union in round 1. Not what I would call a reward for W&L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon Mania 235 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Isn't time to fire this thread back up. Local colleges will start playing this weekend and we haven't made any comments about the coming season about Emory, UVA-Wise or ETSU. Whats everyone's thoughts on the coming football season?

cavalieratmosphere 6 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 For me, UVA-Wise has improved dramatically for the past 2 years compared to what it used to be. For this season, I am setting the bar for them right at 5-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavalieratmosphere 6 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Not off to a great start in Wise. They trail Glenville St. 14-0 with 2:26 left in the 2nd quarter. ...and they fall 17-7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're being very optimistic in saying they'll finish 5-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
