The Rodney Dangerfield of the LPD

[fballfan]

Union was faster to the edges, had more explosive plays, they have more talent than Central. There is no doubt, I am 100% positive about that.
Its not a slight at Central, its a slight at Union.

Im sorry to sound like this, but PV should never lose to Wise. Simple as that. Im sure CW folks feel the same way, as do JIB folk. Just like Wise baseball or girls basketball should never lose to PV, PV football should never fall off so far that Wise beats them.

The lack of fire in the second half is disturbing. I expect PV to make no second half adjustments they've played seven games and have yet to play better in the 2nd half than the first, but I do expect them to at least want to win. Im really not trying to offend the kids at Wise, they played a very good game and deserved to win last night. But I am flat out embarrassed.

This is a crazy statement. Central should never beat Union? Why? What, it this in the rule book somewhere? Is Big Stone Gap and Appalachia the only area that is "divinely blessed" with football talent? Get over it. Football talent comes and goes. Yeah PV and Appy were basically unbeatable years ago but what makes people think they still are going to have the most talent. I haven't seen Central play but I know they have some good athletes. And no CW folks do not feel it is a given to beat Central every year. Never underestimate your opponent.

Wow you totally misread that post. When a school has a focus on one sport, they should not lose to schools that value other sports more. In high school sports, the schools that put their eggs in one sport (like PV football, Wise baseball/girls basketball, etc..) should never be in a position to lose to lesser teams.

Wise should never, ever beat Powell Valley. I will stand by that til the day I die. This is not 1998, I know Julius Jones is not walking thru that door. But this is (well, was) a program that provided itself as well coached, well executed team that was ready to play every game. That was not the case last night.

If you havent seen Central play, then wtf do you know? How do you know they are as talented as PV if you havent seen them play?

THIS IS NOT A SLIGHT AT WISE, jesus fucking christ. Wise has a good team, and they were the better team last night. They deserved to win, all that blah blah blah.

And lol you are FOS. If CW lost to Wise, you would be pissed. Its not underestimating your opponent. I never said PV should blow Wise out and win by 40, but they should beat them. They should be the better team. They were not last night, and thats the problem.

I didn't say they are more talented than Union. I said they have some good athletes. I know this because I saw both Pound and Wise play last year. They had some good athletes on those teams that are playing at Central now.
