Union_Fan 2,154 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 I'm enjoying all the love for Union, but this is anybody's game. I believe it comes down to turnovers and mistakes. Team with the fewest, wins. S10SQUAREBODY4LIFE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tru Blue 72 423 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 22 hours ago, chipinbogey said: Holy smokes. That's a logistical nightmare from an admin and officiating standpoint. It will be a very soggy game if this forecast holds up. The only good news is it will be on turf, but even with the amount of rain forecasted, I'm not sure how well it will drain. I'm not an expert on anything though. When I look at this forecast, the only game I can recall that was like this was the 1996 AA semifinal with Grundy v Salem at Tazewell. Game was moved to Tazewell on Thursday IIRC due to field conditions at Grundy. Admittedly, that field was gone by that time of year, but Tazewell was in the exact same shape. Effin Salem, insert eye roll. Yeah, Salem has had a history of not wanting to play in the mud, guess they don't like the longer mud cleats. Ha! Ha!

Yep, I certainly remember that guy up there a few years ago with his headlights on bright the whole damn game. Didn't matter on the end result, but still annoyed the hell out of me trying to watch the action on that end of the field. As far as the horn goes, Lee High always brought theirs and it never seemed to help them out. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeSWVAFan 36 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 I heard a RV lineman suffered an injury at practice and that he may not play? One of the better players is what I was told. Any truth to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That rings a bell as I had a lot of family in administration at GHS at that time. I'm not sure why as it had hosted many Grundy/Hurley, Grundy/Richlands games with no issue. That one will always stick in my craw. Niether field was really suitable for play, but it had to go on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBearsGo 142 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 I see two factors making a difference in this one. Union is experienced at not only playing, but winning big games. And special teams/kicking game will play a big role. Bears 31-20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#BBN 128 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Is kickoff at 7pm and do the gates open at 5pm? I hope the weather holds out, so its a good clean football game. Don't want the losing team to blame weather as a factor. Excited to see all the talent in this game and my first game at Ridgeview campus. I hear its beautiful.
