When you own those glowing qualities in bold, you've got to have someone else to blame because you're sure not going to own up to it.

The team this year is low on talent, but their effort has far surpassed some of the last few years teams.

I would bet dimes to donuts you are exactly right. The last few years have been hard on PV fans, but there is some talent. Its not like 1998, but they had talent that flat out refused to try and get better. Even some of the better players were not working hard or out there doing all they could to improve the team. If the work ethic and heart shown by some of the past teams (98, 01, 04, even this year) was there in the last couple seasons, PV is much better than 5-5.
and some of those kids believe that because the team was not as successful as PV has been or Phil didnt coddle them or play them that Phil was somehow the cause, when Phil was one of the few reasons the teams were somewhat successful, not the other way around.

but I dont want people ot think im attacking Myron, because that could not be further from the truth. A lot of people were really hard on him, and yes he made some (big) mistakes, but he was a hard worker and he really did care about the team. Im not gonna name kid's name who I think did not try and didnt care enough, but some lump Myron P. in that group when its simply not true.

and SBG, im not doubting it one bit that Phil may have been arrogant or what have you towards you, but he is not a bad person. I understand you have your reasons, but when it comes down to it, Phil is a lot of things, ****y, etc... but he is not a bad person.

somebody said it best, he may have been arrogant, but its not like he was arrogant for no reason. Im not saying arrogance is a great quality to have, but false arrogance is way worse than just regular arrogance lol

I agree for the most part..IMO he might have helped his cause by pulling some of those unis as well tho. As for Phil, as a player I didn't always agree with some of his decisions and I didn't always like his personality..and as a fan those things didn't change..but you can **** well bet I always RESPECTED him. Sure he was blessed with talented players for 2 decades, But he developed that talent by stressing fundamentals AND managed that talent to 7 State Titles. It wasn't always so much his X's and O's as much as it was his ability to motivate his players. So, people can say what they want, but the numbers and accolades speak for themselves. Phil Robbins has done more than enough to earn his place and respect as one of the greatest coaches SWVA has or ever will see.

One thing I always understood about Phil, was that he was gonna give anyone his best shot at getting the W. He never just went through the motions I don't believe.

I agree with Stripes 100%.

I dont care if it was the worst Pound team and Pv was gonna win by 60 or the best GC team and PV was gonna lose by 30, Phil is gonna give it his best shot at winning the game.
He never took plays off, he is the anti-Randy Moss lol

blah blah blah blah!!!!:mooning::laffingassoff::laffingassoff::la ffingassoff::laffingassoff:

Go practice basketball Powell Valley, leave the winning to Clintwood in the LPD:snickerpup:

Doesn't PV have the most LPD championships? For 20 plus years, until recently, Clintwood would give the best LPD fits but really had no shot at winning state.

Phil Robbins still has more football state trophies on one hand than Gate City has in their entire history.

1982, PV won the LPD
1983, PV
1985, PV
1986, PV
1988, PV
1989, PV
1990, PV
1994, PV
1995, PV
1996, PV/Appy
1997, PV
1998, PV
1999, PV/Clintwood
2000, PV
2001, PV
2004, PV
2009, Clintwood PV

That's 17 LPD championships and co-championships there, Mozart. Gate City only won 2 outright LPD championships when they rejoined us. One co-championship in 05 and they weren't even the best team that season.

What does Clintwood have to do with it anyway?

This is Phil Robbins' thread. If you want to condescend PV, do it in another thread and get pwned while you're at it.

let him go DJ, its obvious he wishes he got to play under the greatest coach in SWVA history.

Gotta be a 12 year old trying to be a tough guy.

HOWS BASKETBALL PRACTICE GOING FOR YOU GUYS? HEARD YOU GUYS THINKS IT IS YOU YEAR TO WIN IT. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA:laffingassoff::2t humbsup::laffingassoff::2thumbsup:

yeah, take shots at the one PV team that has had success against you.

the last meeting between PV and GC last year, a game at Gate City, I seem to forget, who won that game? Can you help me remember?

I know GC beat PV at PV, but for some reason I cannot remember what happened in the most recent contest between PV and GC in basketball.
