    Russell Wilson

    Schaub is from PA originally. Aaron Brooks had a solid run as QB for the Saints before Drew Brees. Herman Moore and Chris Long are two others who had solid NFL careers. Moore could've been a Hall of Famer if he had played for a team with a good QB.

    Well…, It’s next year already!

    There were some years they had a lot of great athletes such as 1991, 1992, 1998, and 1999 in particular.

    Home Teams at Liberty?

    Salem's traditional rival in football has been Pulaski County, but they've unfortunately fallen off in the past 10-15 years. More recently, it's been the team at the top of their cycle and able to compete with Salem. That's included Northside, Christiansburg, and Blacksburg at various times...

    The Daily Press

    It's very sad and, I think, tragic for society what's happened to newspapers. I'm not really sure if anything could've prevented it with the rise of the internet. My counterintuitive idea is that newspapers should never have posted their content online and created the expectation of free...

    Does anyone have any information on the report of a tragic loss of a player at LU?

    What’s the best area in VA for HS Football?

    Yes, I compiled the data after 2016. I just pulled up my old spreadsheet when I saw this thread. I'm not sure if or when I can update the data; maybe after this season.

    What’s the best area in VA for HS Football?

    Salem is part of the Roanoke Metropolitan Statistical Area as defined by the US Census Bureau, which is what this analysis considers. The data is through the 2016 season, so Salem would account for 8 out of the 12. Roanoke city's lone title was by Patrick Henry in 1973. In Roanoke County...

    What’s the best area in VA for HS Football?

    I did some number crunching a few years ago on this question if you're defining "best" by number of state championships. The results are below as of the 2016 season. It shows the state championships by every officially defined metropolitan and micropolitan area in Virginia. Those titles won...

    Roanoke College Football

    No, I don't think those classes would be appealing, particularly to male students. I'm not sure exactly what would be, but there have to be some fields probably related to STEM. Wrestling is much less expensive to operate than football.

    Nick Leftwich takes the HC job @ William Fleming

    Leftwich is in his early 30s, which is older than Magenbauer when he took over. However, I agree that he wouldn't be the lead candidate if the Salem job came open today. If Holter stays another 5-10 years, Leftwich's age and experience by then should line up pretty well. I just think there's a...

    Roanoke College Football

    I may be in the minority but I think it's a terrible idea on the merits and as a way to attract more students. Roanoke College should study which academic offerings would be most appealing and useful for prospective students.

    Nick Leftwich takes the HC job @ William Fleming

    I know that Fleming is C5, but this seems like a lateral move. While WF was in the state semis recently, my opinion is that CS has a better chance of at least getting to a state title game in C3. Northside has won two and LB has appeared in three. I would've suggested that Leftwich keep...

    Who is or should be the ECG frontrunner?

    I hear you about Salem versus Fleming. I'm glad that he's happy now. However, some former coaches just get the itch again after being away for a while. See Dick Vermeil, Joe Gibbs, Mack Brown, Jon Gruden, etc.

    Who is or should be the ECG frontrunner?

    Just throwing this out there to persons who, unlike me, live in or near Salem. Do you think there's any chance at all that WF would interest Magenbauer? It's not in Salem's class or district, so not a direct competitor of the Spartans, at least for now.
