Union_Fan 2,155 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 Oddly enough, my wife ran into a GC player's mom in Kingsport yesterday. They started talking about the Union/GC game. She said her son told her that they knew Union wouldn't throw the ball, so their game plan was to load the box and stop the run. Just as many have predicted would happen.

SwvaOG 601 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 Willing to bet Union breaks out some pass plays…maybe some play action fakes tonight. I hope RV is ready for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaterHater 89 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 After reading thru the posts, this is my take. It seems most, over half, think this will be a close game. Those willing to actually pick a winner seem to be on the RV side. Some of the Union faithful aren't so faithful anymore. I expect Union to come out with a bunch of new wrinkles. I expect the Pack to come out fired up and confident. And I expect this to be every bit as good of a game as the Graham vs Union game was. It has heavyweight match written all over it. Almost like an Ali vs Frazier of the M7 fight. I think Union pulls the upset on the Ridge.....extra points will decide the fate of the game.

I'll be there cheering on the Bears, but I also know that Union has a tough task ahead of them. I don't expect any kind of 40-0 score. It will be a competitive and entertaining game. Ridgeview has the edge, but just like in most HS games, the team that wants it more will win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnionGuy2017 182 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 I’d rather be realistic than be one of the Union fans who claim Union hasn’t lost a game in 12 seasons where officials didn’t dictate the outcome. We have too many of those on Friday nights. Mountain Football 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer 78 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 Both of these teams are known for their personal fouls/unsportsmanlike penalties. How many do you think we'll see tonight? Over/under 3.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 I'm more of a pessimist anyway, so I could see a 35-7 type game, if Union falls behind 14-0 early the wheels could fall off. I don't believe RV is four TDs better but game circumstance could dictate the score more so than the talent on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small Texas programs in the Hill Country of Texas to the North/North West of San Antonio in places like Lampassas, Luckenbach, New Braunfels, etc with the small mountains/green backdrops.

Being objective has its place and some fans think that all objectivity has to be thrown out in order for you to be a "real fan." For example, Union is playing the KC Chiefs in 3 weeks (hypothetical) and if you pick the Chiefs to win (common sense and objective) then to hel# with you. You must not be a "real fan."

Dawg pride 4 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 I think we have a tight game ahead and if we utilize our talent we have a good chance of winning. But the "IF" part is the key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may just be that camera on nfhs but it seems like it is cutting the retina out of yours eyes for the part of the game. That stadium does look really nice though.

I'm sure the glare on the camera makes it look worse, but the setting sun is about eyeball height with the home side. I'm glad I'll be on the opposite stands. haha Mountain Football 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 It's one of the nicer fields to watch a game in SWVA. Very beautiful setting. Only compliant I've ever had is the damn cell reception. Can't get any up there. BandanaVTDavis4321 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah these newer stadiums like to keep everyone far from the field takes away alot of the atmosphere imo.
