1. You are not "curious." You are angry and bitter. You are mad people are picking Appo to win and call it arrogance. They have won two titles in a row and only a damn fool would pick against them. It's not arrogance, it's common sense.
2. I've been here a long time brother and there's no fitting in with me. I call it like I see it and have done so for years. LOL, there's no piggybacking off of Appo success with me "to fit in." Lol. I think that's another ole southern WV/SW VA board tactic....when someone agrees, "say they are fitting in." Or....when someone gives facts, "call it an essay" and follow that with a stupid emotional useless blurb and get applauded by the usual 3 or so suspects, and then agree how the ole mighty GMen are the "best in VA." Lol. Your MO is the usual and yet AGAIN, you aren't on that board right now. You are on another board where the level of thinking and dialogue is ratcheted up and you don't fit in. Again, go home and argue it out with those.mighty Twin Springs and Grundy fans and talk about how the ole Tornado and GMen can whip em, lol, or perhaps how those mighty Beavers can beat Salem regularly if they played, lol.
3. No need to take a shot at Poquoson. I see what you did there. As for "nobody being able to pronounce this coastal towns name" as you implied, I can see some difficulty in doing so in good ole Tazewell County. I wouldn't expect anything but a struggle. Now, let me get ready to go to work here at NASA, so my tax dollars can pay for your county to continue to keep your school system open and help fund all of the medical support for your chronic back pain and opioid use back in those there hills.
4. Union lost to Appo, it's over, now go back home and show them ole Lebanon and Marion fans what your made of in the ole SWVirginy Sports Board and let that awesome level of intellect shine for an audience of about 25 regulars and totally isolated from the rest of the world of which nobody outside of about 6 counties in SW VA cares or will ever see, and pat yourself on the back at your incredible wit.
No, arrogance is having a close game that wasn't decided until late in the 4th quarter and then coming back the next week and saying you'll blow out the best team from the east in the state championship.
"No need to take a shot at "puhkoesun" ? Aren't you from there? Once again, I'm not bitter that Union lost, and I don't really care if you or want to defute that for your followers or not. I said I did want them to win because they beat Graham the week before. Didn't I read that you said that you wanted RE Lee to win vs Appomattox because they beat your boys? Same thing right?
Maybe I just imagined that when I was on one of my OxyContin binges that is sacred to 100% of the population west of Roanoke. If so, my apologies. It's hard being an uneducated drug addict like all of us down here in the sticks are.
This whole thing blew up because you and your new clique you're trying to pal around with got all up in arms because there was a thread that was posted that didn't have the #HashtagRaiders involved. The only person that I would be ok with being upset over that video was completely okay with it but you guys have kept crying all week over it. And I personally don't care what your reasoning is for the crying because it did NOT have anything to do with you.
So again, you want to keep saying this board is about opinions but whine about everyone that doesn't match up with yours. My opinions are that Appomattox has been a phenomenal team over the last 3 years, with a coach and a community outpouring that could be turned into a tear jerking Disney movie tomorrow. There's no reason why anyone should have any ill will against their team, because it seems that they do everything right and are genuinely great kids. My opinion on "a few" of their fans are they alienate the good will of the whole team with their arrogance and toddler attitudes. Again, that's not saying all of them are like that but one bad apple can ruin a bushel. Those generalizations are bad for the good fans I've interacted with and I understand why they'd be upset since it's Kind of how you just generalized that I was an uneducated opioid user because you've read about that being the case for some people in SWVA.
Another opinion I have is you keep whining for me and others to stay on that isolated SWVA that no one reads outside of 6 counties. Which is weird since you know so much about it and other people eastern from here have registered, posted, and constantly lurked. It almost seems like you're a little upset that you perceive someone has a club that you weren't invited in. Maybe you can start your own coastal board where I'm sure there would be SOOOOO much interaction. Another "unpopular" opinion of mine is - The Commonwealth of Virginia" does not end in Roanoke county. I get income taxes held out of my check the same as you or anyone else. I actually get more withheld since I work in WV as well as VA, but that's a different story.
So those are MY opinions. You can take them, leave them, or shove them. Whatever you choose won't change them. I'll still be here when the sun comes up tomorrow congratulating RE Lee or Appomattox on their state championship victory. So you can insinuate all you want for me and others to leave a VIRGINIA message board, but as a citizen of VA and the good ole USA I don't think I will obey you Adolph.
**** sorry for the long post to 99% of people here that I know HATE long unnecessary posts. Truth is, I'm proud of myself. I didn't know I was capable of typing this many words. I thought only easterners could do that. Maybe there's hope for me to go to drug rehab and get my GED after all.
