I heard GHS had over 50 out with flu or flulike symptoms yesterday or today. Don't know if any of those are football players. That crud & lice spread like crazy in school, lol. but I digress. Hope both teams are near 100% as possible though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnionBears84 28 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 Any word on Zack Halls injury from Friday night? Looked pretty bad. I know he came back in the game later in the second half. Was hearing it was possibly a torn or sprained mcl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Lee bringing their horse, train horn and inflatable to The Park over the years. Several other teams have been allowed to bring their inflatables. I think this particular situation is unique. Graham requested that Union's train horn not be brought to Bluefield. It wasn't. An air horn was. Very clear that these 2 devices are different. If Graham's AD thought the air horn was a train horn AFTER hearing it so many times last year then he needs to get his hearing checked. IMHO, I think he became angry when he realized he was outsmarted. Had he spoke to Union's AD or Principal and they came over, which would have been very appropriate, it would have been a completely different situation. I don't think anyone is questioning Graham's right to not have a loud artificial noise maker, brought by the opposing team, at their home stadium. They clearly have that right. However, sending 3 cops over was very low class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gridiron60 2,550 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 I'm all for train horn & artificial noise makers. Bullitt Park is a great atmosphere. I don't think any field in Region D can rival the atmosphere at the park. My only objection would be if it's used to try and draw offsides penalties etc. when teams are at LOS. Other than that, blow your horn to your heart's content , lol. Hokie1Pokie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vol Hater 276 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 They where sent by Grahams AD. Also told us that the AD wanted them to kick us out of the stadium as well. But just said to take the air horn out. That's the real deal pickle take it or leave it. Union_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unionguy_2017 288 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 If Union gets Graham in the rain, I like our chances. Union played the graham passing game very well other than some deep throws in the first meeting. The QB runs were very effective for the G men though, so Union will have to clean that up. The park is going to be Rocking and Rolling. That’s a guarantee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Sasquatch 1,864 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 5 hours ago, Union_Fan said: Man that global warming is making the ocean rise faster than expected. Mitchell Stadium is in Bluefield, WV. The Bluefield, WV police are at Grahams home games. Bluefield, WV also has a noise ordinance. I wouldnt be surprised if it was our infamous city manager who silenced that horn. He was the first one that popped in my head. I wouldnt blame school officials so quickly. The stadium is owned by Bluefield, WV and the city manager is something else. Surprised he didnt allow it and then fine somebody for violating the ordinance. Any way he can leach a dollar from you, he will do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
