Hokie1Pokie 350 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 This needs to stop in my opinion. What is seemingly a crack or knock on Gste City fans is actually hurtful and mean spirited towards Akers. That man doesn't deserve this. And yes, it is mean spirited and hurtful towards Akers even though the jab is towards GC fans. I get that, but the more time that passes by from Akers no longer being the coach at GC, the joke or jabs by keeping this thread alive become more hurtful to Akers than it does to the GC fans on this board. Only my take and I know not popular, but since he's gone from GC, the jabs or joke of keeping this thread alive shift more to Akers expense, and away from GC fans. rvtne216, Grapeape and olewave 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the overwhelming majority of this thread is actually NOT about Akers at all. It took a life of it's own. No one at this point is taking shots at Akers, we are just continuing a thread that is possibly in contention for the longest of all time. sixcat and Deleted Account 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the premise of not a lot of talent on the team, but if you are going around butt hurt from a message board the is a "you" problem. If you don't wear your feelings on your sleeve you won't get them hurt... Grapeape 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trumpet1988 289 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 I am pretty sure Gate City has used forum posts and newspaper quotes as locker room material during the Colobro days. It can be a motivational technique. I am certain they are not the first or the last to do so. Coaches, teachers, professors, and bosses read social media quite frequently. 50kw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GC_Quincy 582 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Coaches have read these boards for years. OleTob was questioned about a comment he made on the old board at a game in the early 2000's by a coach...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Single A west 113 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 I have seen gate city play off and on the last thirty years, one of the last times was a playoff loss to glenvar. Gate played them tight even though their was a definite talent gap. Over the last 3-4 years is it a cycle or kids not wanting to play football like at other high schools.
