Few Surprises in Class 2, Thoughts and Predictions

I agree. I appreciate Hokiepokie's spirit. He talks those kids up a lot and doesn't down the others. Nice to see that as opposed to someone constantly talking about how bad all the other teams are. I can stand behind his love of his team.
He definitely is spirited! He amuses me with the voting on rings stuff 😂. I just need an interpreter sometimes. 😂

I like your boys chances in the cold Gridiron60. Virginia has surely improved and their a dangerous bunch, but I think Grahams physicality in the cold will be the difference as long as Graham doesn't turn it over deep and forces VH to drive the length of the field to score, Graham should win. It's really going to be tough for any team to do long drives against Graham with that defense you guys have up there.

No judgement taken against you or your fanbase based on one poster. In his defense, seems like the guy loves his team and there's a huge difference in talking up your team (not my approach or most people's approach) compared to putting down other teams and that guy hasn't done that from what I've seen at least.

I figured y'all fellow G-Men would be able to translate for him, because those of us from the rest of the state can't figure it out 🤣
You can’t judge an entire fan base by a singular fan 😂😂😂. I do think VA High will be a formidable opponent & GMen better be prepared and limit penalties & unforced errors. I’m thinking GMen defense may be the deciding factor. I know Smith went out injured in late 2nd Q against Graham. It wasn’t on radio so I’m not sure how well he did up against Graham’s defense until he went out. I know Graham’s offense has improved and it seems Virginia High has improved on both sides of the ball tremendously.

Kang Williams scers me. Dont wanna em. Them Boyz voted up ringz few yerz ago an laid up trip 7s. I hope they aint voted em up again. Nasty mofos that come 2 play and right down namez.. I no Graham an da barz of Union an Glenvar all voted em up dis yr so sumthins got 2 give our hear
Hokiepokie is afraid of King William. When they won the title against Graham a couple years ago they (apparently) voted for rings...Hokiepokie hopes they didn't "vote" again this year. They were very tough when he saw them play. He "knows" Graham, Union, and Glenvar all (allegedly) "voted" on rings this year so something has to give because they can't all win them.

I did my best. My wife is a Graham alum so I asked her to help.

Side note-biggest mistake of my life was telling her I was rooting for Radford in their playoff game last year against Graham (one of my best friends at JMU was a Radford alum and I figured Graham just won a title, why not root for the Bobcats) and I tell you I have never been more scolded....

Nothing like yet another week of hand wringing and Chicken Little-ing from grown men whose best days are so far behind them even home movies wouldn't jog their memories. What a fanbase.
No hand wringing going on. Making honest observations. I thought thats what this board was all about. Somehow that seems to bother you. Strange.
As to our best days being behind us ( maybe your comment was directed to just me) I guess you would have to define best days. I had a great day yesterday and plan on having another tomorrow.
