Could've been a little different if rob wasn't at that historical UVA game last night and jake wanted to play. It was just tough without an offensive leader. Ah well that doesn't matter I had a great time and can't wait till next year.
I was up in 'Hooville last night as well.
I was also there in '95 for the original upset as well.
Memories. Good ones.
yeah and it also would have been alot different if some more lineman from the old days would have shown up like Pat Sutherland, Scotty Owens, Robert Powers, Richie Mullins, Etc... the list goes on...we had 3 guys starting on the o-line that had never played the position and 2 of them that had never even played football before and had no idea what it meant to pass block...even with that the game ended up being closer than it should have been given all the opportunities we had to score but give the young dudes credit they played hard and really wanted to win...i don't know what you guys were doing to josh wallace over there to get him to give you all those calls!
oh yeah and how the heck did we have a 3rd and 13 and pick up 15 yards on a pass and still have a 4th and 8?!? that costed us a TD right there
you think pat suterland would have been of any help...have you seen him lately
i don't want to put anybody down and i won't mention any names but we would've been better off to have had a cardboard cut out of pat sutherland than what we had at a couple of positions on our o-line...so yes if pat would have just came down there and not ever came out of his stance it would have been an improvement over a couple of guys but like i said they tried and a couple of them had never played football so im not faulting them thats the way it goes...i wish we could've at least talked shane hillman to playing on the o-line for us and he was QB in h.s...oh well can't complain a win is a win.
the young crew were lost without a QB
I think there was more trash talking in this game than any game i've ever played in hahaha. It was all good natured though except for that one time I was hit prior to the snap on purpose.
Hey like Colley told you man there are some people you just don't say crap too and Don Don is one of them.
He was talking trash first so I just came back with it. I didn't see any harm. If he's gonna get upset over a little trash talking then why would he want to play a football game?
If you think either Colley brother would have helped you are sadly mistaken. Those are probably the two most overrated athletes to ever come through Haysi. They played on some of the weakest teams against some of the weakest competition. Both would have been lucky to have even got in the game on the kickoff team if they had played from 89 to 95.
Yeah i'd say playing against the Honaker Tigers with some no name Miller guy is weak. As well as Gate City the past few years. Weak weak teams. Oh and how about the 03' Honaker team who supposed to mop up at state but was put down at sandlick?
Haysi has played against Gate City twice getting killed both times and were drilled by Miller and Co. The only game Haysi outplayed anyone was an overrated Honaker team in 03 that would have lost in the Regional Championship and not mopped anyone up in state.
OOO yes it would have mattered if either one of the Colley boys would have showed up to be the QB, the young guys could not get a bit of offense going, defense in my opinion was good, except for the 15 min drive in the 3rd and 4th quarters.
The old guys had 3 other drives into the young guys red zone that they were unable to come away with a TD...ofcourse one of those were aided by a mess up with the chain gang.
I have to agree with houndstooth...both of the Colleys were vastly overrated as QB's and neither ever had even one big game of note against ANY quality opponent...the '03 game against Honaker was basically a one drive deal other than that the offense was shut out...no passing production against GC either time they played against them. I will say that both were 2 of the best basketball players in Haysi history however.
If you wanted to make the game closer you should have gotten a couple more refs who were pulling for you to win...oh wait you already had 3 [img]smile.gif[/img]
