But who are we to know.😂 Interesting. The concession stands are in the west end zone. Incident #1 with Casey happened near Honaker’s bench at Tazewell’s 40-yard-line. Incident #2 with JoJo happened near Tazewell’s bench at Tazewell’s 45-yard-line. I’m not a mathematician by any stretch, but those numbers aren’t adding up.

What I saw when Jojo got ejected was he broke the run to the far side of the field at the Honaker 35-40. So did both incidents happen on the same play? I saw some heated things happen after that but as usual there were penalties called at times that we never saw a flag anywhere on the field so it was very confusing to know what was happening and no explanation that you could see at times. Tempers were flaring for sure. He was burning them like crazy running all over them and he had two TDs on kicks called back for maybe questionable calls.

We did not have a clear vantage point of either incident, hence the information we had was relayed to us by other (trustworthy) sources. I would rather not publicly post what my understanding is, as I did not directly observe it, and do not wish to sully the reputations of either of those young men for actions taken in the heat of the moment. I was content to let the tit-for-tat go without comment, until the poster whom I quoted stated what is a physical impossibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the flag (that was seen) was thrown it was a double flag of holding and unsportsman that led to the 2nd and 40 play we had. I never saw anything happen other than more mouth running. It was the Honaker side that Jordan ran to on the scoreboard side so hard to see exact details on it. Either way what needs to happen is just focus on what is in front of them and to get hold and control the things that they can control.

Either way what needs to happen is just focus on what is in front of them and to get hold and control the things that they can control. The 1st-and-40 was a complete mystery to us. For the world, the flags (personal foul and unsportsmanlike conduct) looked like they were both thrown after the conclusion of the play, which would make them dead-ball penalties. The officials apparently ruled at least one of them as live-ball, which results in replaying the down and distance. The chain gang and booth were badly off all night in terms of down-and-distance, so 2nd-and-40 (which they had marked) was reasonable until we realized (after Tazewell did not convert on 3rd down [on what we thought was 4th down]) that it was indeed 1st-and-40. It made a huge difference, as Tazewell converted the 4th down and went on to score the TD. The refs had pretty good command of the game early, and pretty much threw their hands up and let chaos rule from the 2nd quarter on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No excuses but it's hard to get ahead when your star RB is out for the season. Second RB is out for the season. Third RB ineligible for this game who is also a key defender. Several other injuries as well. Richlands probably wins but I don't know how you can brag or talk big about it when you are playing a decimated team. On the other hand though if Tazewell does manage to pull it out somehow, that says a lot of Richlands team... More freshmen playing filling in the gaps this week. They looked good last week but still are just freshmen. I'll take a win or a loss but I do not want to hear any gloating from Richlands people on how we thought this was the year. It was, until injuries and now we will just have to take what we can get and the Dogs give it their all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger 2000 73 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 It can’t be “your year” if you had everyone healthy when graham took you all behind the woodshed in week 2. And they may do it to Richlands., But if they do. It will not be said by Richlands fans that “ this was our year “. Maybe there is just a difference between what Richlands considers a good year and what tazewell considers a good year ? Ryan4VT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazewell had 2 out for the season already and 5 unavailable for game action (out of a roster of 41) coming into the Graham game, so the Bulldogs weren’t perfectly healthy then either. Tazewell had limited success moving the ball until Chancellor Harris went out late in the first half with a minor leg injury (and remained out the rest of the game). With everyone fully healthy, Graham almost certainly still wins, but it’s not 45-0 either. May want to back off just a tad...

Agree completely Look at difference of offense when Harris went out at Princeton. Nobody ever said this was the year to win state. This was probably the year we could get Richlands. Everybody knows/knew Graham would be another state contender. We have had a stretch of bad years and a good year in my opinion would be anything over .500 These kids have worked their butts off over the past two seasons through tough seasons and everybody used to them not competing. This year and next was to be their years that they worked for and earned. We will never know what could have been this Friday regardless the outcome and I hate it for those that did work so hard and stayed with it.

Tiger 2000 73 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Nobody wants to see any players out. I know for a fact that Richlands players would want chance and jo jo playing if they could. it would make things much tougher for the blues because both of those kids are great athletes. A win is a win. But there is no glory in knowing tazewell will be without several of their horses. Hopefully it’s a good clean game and I’m sure tazewell will show up and rally for the guys that are out. Looking forward to it.

But I’ll leave it at that. That’s literally impossible. There are two concession stands, and I’m presuming you didn’t make the Appalachian Trail-like hike to the concession stand on the scoreboard side, which is on the opposite side of the field where the action occurred. That concession stand is even farther away than the distances I’m about to list. The concession stand toward the hill is easily 15-20 yards (not 10 feet) beyond the fence separating the field and the west end zone, aligned along Honaker’s sideline. The plays happened between Tazewell’s 40-45 yard line, #1 being on Honaker’s sideline and #2 being on Tazewell’s sideline. For you to be standing at the concession stands, you were 60-65 linear yards from #1 and 90-95 linear yards from #2. None of this changes what actually happened; what’s done is done. However, don’t post something that’s flatly false to try and bolster your perspective. There are enough who were at the game, and enough familiar with the layout of EMATS Stadium, to contradict what you’re saying. Even for those who weren’t there, Google Earth shows pretty quickly that there are no concession stands even remotely close to where the incidents occurred.

blueinbama 259 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 I wish I could make the trip to see this game. It sounds like this may be a very good game, probably one of the most competitive in a while. I'll be listening. Go Big Blue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tru Blue 72 423 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 I agree with the situation being one of no gloating for the Richlands fans. Years ago when Richlands won the regional championship on a muddy field in Tazewell with Rasnick and Muncy playing for the Bulldogs, was one of the best games I've witnessed in this rivalry, and who ever would win that game had a good reason to gloat, but beating a team for 16 years in a row and now with all the injuries and ejections, there is no reason for gloating. On the other hand, if Tazewell does pull off the upset, then by all means they would have every reason to gloat, getting the monkey off their back would be reason enough. Good luck to both teams, wishing for an injury free game, have fun and enjoy. stu_bean and Gridiron60 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbgfan 855 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 I am a Blues fan from head to toe and will certainly be rooting for the Blues Friday night. This will be the only game I will not be rooting for the Dawgs, every other one YES. Friday night at the game between the Blues and Radford, I kept checking updates of the game with Honaker. I was glad to see Tazewell winning. Surprised, I was. I really thought with the Dawgs depleted team, the Tigers would have the advantage. These young boys have pressed through adversity and injury, maybe missing a beat or two, but giving up, no they haven't. THEY SHOW THE HEART OF A CHAMPION. stu_bean, BlueRazor and Gridiron60 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
