I was willing to chalk it up to an oversight, but are you saying that you intentionally omitted Bluefield? If legitimately think that Bluefield is not one of the top 10 teams in SWVA, you know nothing about high school football in SWVA, and should have your poll disqualified. Bluefield hung 31 in the first half on your #5 team, BTW. BHS03 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, they didn't realize Bluefield could be included...I'm not sure how they wouldn't but I'm trying to come up with a reasonable explanation as to why they were omitted by said members.

He did the same thing last week and said something to the effect of “if we’re including Bluefield why don’t we include Tennessee teams” it’s not an oversight at this point, it’s just a spiteful misuse of a vote Deleted Account, Gridiron60, BHS03 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro Gold Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 I didn't see Radford in coverage area ? Did it get left off map at top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24282 Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 So maybe we should just do a pole for 4 through 7 and just let you dictate 1. Bluefield 2. Graham and 3. Richlands. If someone has an opinion that doesn't resolve back to the idea that the sun rises and sets on the Bluefields and the southwest district a couple of posters get their band britches in a tangle.

No, that particular one admitted it was an intentional omission. Hence why I believe that there should be a threshold for these things, especially since Coalfield Sports is using it. Legitimacy and all. Reddit’s CFB and CBB polls work that way. If you’re continuously doing ridiculous things, like not voting for an obvious Top 25 team on multiple occasions because of some petty slight, you have your vote revoked.

Has nothing to do with that and everything to do with the fact that Bluefield IS in the board’s area, and they ARE the best team in this area without a doubt. I get you don’t care about Bluefield. I don’t reallly care about Pulaski. But I still include them because they are a part of the polling area.

Bluefield is probably better than the two teams that end up playing for 2A championship in VA. I'm by no means an expert or even a veteran member of this forum but I understand coverage area and know a high caliber team when I see one. Bluefield is superior to any other teams around here.

Beamerball Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Why is it TN teams are always just thought of as coverage area teams? Heck, let's add eastern KY and western NC. Teams from those states are closer to some than TN teams. Forum title says SWVA Sports....as Ryan says, southwest VA and southern WV.

Deleted Account Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 People never cease to amaze. When confronted with something is clearly illogical and irrational, a person has three basic choices: (1) Admit error and correct. (2) Say nothing / disengage. (3) Dig in / double down / fight. Outside the internet, people choose options #1 and #2 a vast majority of the time. On most online forums, #2 is the prevailing option, with some #3 and a touch of #1 sprinkled in. On this forum, people choose #3 about 90% of the time, and it strikes me peculiar. Be it the Hurley fans from 2016, the whole Chilhowie/Riverheads brouhaha from last year, or even something like this, it’s astounding to me how much like dentistry it is to just get a simple mea culpa out of folks.

Bearcat Dad Posted August 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 The deadline for voting in the poll will be extended each week until Wednesday evening at 5:00 pm. It will be posted here on Wednesday night, and will also be posted on CoalfieldSports.com and will be discussed on the 2nd podcast of each week.

Liam McPoyle Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 I don't agree with the coverage area and therefore will create my own. My new poll is: 1. IMG Academy (FL) 2. Mater Dei (CA) 3.

BHS03 Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Sorry 24282, no matter what you say Bluefield is going to be a part of the coverage on this board. If you don't like then that's just too bad. The great thing is that there is nothing you can do about it except deal with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time we’ve ever really had an issue is when I mentioned something about Thomas Walker’s history being extremely poor (which except for 1991-1992, 1996, 2017, and a few 6-4 type seasons in the late 2000s, is objectively true). You took exception to that (for the obvious reason). I’m a bit surprised to see you still hurt and fuming from that, but you do you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
