I don’t know if you know the massive undertaking that broadcasting a game comes with. It’s days of prep. It’s pulling every single person that you have to run a camera either there, or shooting the other games in place of the ones that regularly shoot football. It’s a mobile command center (18 wheeler) that is 5 figures to rent. It’s getting there at 7am to set up and leaving the game at 1am after you’ve torn down. It’s overtime and people being taken away from their families more than usual. It’s also viewer fatigue. A game broadcast makes viewers that’s don’t go to games miss the shows they may normally watch on a Friday night doing that two weeks in a row causes a stir. Trust me, people already weren’t happy we aired the GHS/Betsy game on Fox because they missed a show they liked It’s sooooo much more than “And the Ridgeview Union game wasn’t big enough.” Yes, Ridgeview @ Abingdon was clearly big enough. But it just so happened to be the week after the Greenville/Betsy game. If union Abingdon was this week and RV/Abingdon was this coming week, then it would be that game.

big ugly vol Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Wish I could go to this game. Alas, my son is a senior at Ridgeview, so I’m stuck at Pike Central Friday. Abingdon’s OL is big and NASTY!!!! Fun to watch for an old big ugly. They dominated us up front. Dominated doesn’t even really do it justice. Gonna DVR Abingdon / Union I guess. swva_havok_fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be at game but would like to rewatch it later. Ryan4VT and big ugly vol 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swva_havok_fan Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 As much as Wolfpack Nation is pulling for Abingdon to win Friday night, I just don't see it happening. Coach Turner knows how to win when it matters most. And Union just simply isn't beatable at Bullitt Park unless you're Appomattox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union_Fan Posted October 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Weather is looking REALLY crappy right now. If it's as cold and wet as the forecast, I'm afraid it will keep people from coming out, possibly even more so due to it being televised, and thus lose the atmosphere that gives us such a great home field advantage. Maybe the weather will hold off. Hoping Thursday is still an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan4VT Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 With WCYB broadcasting the game, I doubt they move it to Thursday. It’s a lot more logistics now than just telling the fans, cheerleaders and band when to show up lol. Union_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHS rushed 256 and passed for 174 last week. So it may be a low scoring ground and pound game. This isn’t the same Falcons Amburgey coached a few years ago where they wanted to air it out 85% of the time. They are more balanced. Likewise not the same Bears team from when Mitchell was there. They appear to rely more on their run game and throw less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarhead24219 Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 To win Friday Union must throw the ball, ABINGDON will fill the box with 9 no doubt.They are very big up front and appear very athletic and strong.The tight end should be open all night and if you line JENKINS out at a slot he will be covered by a LINEBACKER for the first 20 yards.that will open up the running lanes as well as a screen or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TE screens, however, have been very effective, but don't do them often. The RB screens have been hit and miss. Unchained 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
