They get praised for the awesome community support. Good for Tazewell Well it's not quite the same, but if someone thinks that's silly, I wouldn't get offended and argue.

I think that was Grahams first possession in that game. Baffling That's a great example of bad coaching... cityofRaven and Mountain Football 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union has a valid reason, but they make a big show of it. Not much difference. The community is excited, good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weatherman 135 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 12 hours ago, BigWinners said: That's exactly my point as well. The issue wasn't going for it on fourth down, it was going for it backed up at your own 12 in the second quarter of a low scroing, defensive game, basically giving away three points if you don't get it and in a game this close and low scoring, three points could be the difference and it was. Anybody remember that year when E&H beat UVA-Wise (CVC) with that fake punt from their own 11 yard line? Two memorable games in that series for sure, with that one and the punt return for the win for UVA-W at Wise. I for one will be glad when they take this "cold war" rivalry back to the field when E&H joins the SAC.

redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 I guess the thought is every game is important, idk. This is the same bunch that get to games 7 hours before Kickoff to get their exact seat when I can get there 45 minutes before and set 2 seats down from them 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get there 7 hours before a game you aren’t gonna be top 10 in line. 😂 2. for those of us that do that, it has nothing to do with seats. More of living in an area that has nothing else going on and nothing else to do. Some of the best times I’ve ever had has been sitting at the gate. And it has nothing to do with HS football, just spending time with people I enjoy being around. Union_Fan and EH31 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plywood_King 518 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 Is it just me, or have the last five days on here been nothing but an ongoing debate about whether or not the fine citizens of Tazewell are acting like jackasses? Deleted Account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the kids are into it, cool. It's not for me so it doesn't matter what I think. redtiger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 @BigWinners that's exactly right. If the kids enjoy it and it let's them know the community is there to support them then so be it. Union_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
