Sorry Shelby. No respect by Simmons computer model.

Rambbq, I think Reidsville covered the Simmons spread in 14 of their 16 games last year. Could you check this for me? I know they did not cover the Rockingham County spread this year. Probably because the Cougars are a much, much improved team.

Long rant by Champ24 to follow.

Wow!!! I see you've been in your feelings seeing Shelby listed no.1 all the time. Is it that serious? And, who couldn't cover the spread versus those cupcakes Reidsville plays? Hey, everyone, Reidsville is no.1 in the Simmons ratings. Reidsville is no.1 in the Simmons ratings!

Unless it is Ron Simmons, it doesnt really matter.

@TheMule Man, I bet you got a boner after seeing that this morning. You've been waiting all morning for Simmons to update, heck, he hasn't even uploaded his latest stuff to this site yet. You're here posting this before he even got a chance to do so. You damn near stalk Simmons every Friday morning.

The Elder Rams love their computer statistics. It creates good banter at least.

Va football isn't that strong, Reidsville wins big tonight but that's beside point, I just find it interesting that he called Shelby out, he's obviously been in his feelings seeing us no.1 in every poll.

But, let's be honest here, Reidsville hasn't been ranked as high as it should in the polls, because it's obvious they have been holding the weak opposition against them.

I'm out, though. I'm burnt out on the RHS vs SHS thing. Have at it. Chances are, we may not even face each other again. Good luck to the Rams this season, heck of a program.

Could have pulled it off this season, it would have been a huge gate. We desperately needed to add another team to our schedule, we had an opening, but a South Carolina powerhouse was the target for resume reasons.

I think it's a chance Shelby goes small 2a. I wouldn't completely give up hope.

I figured you would have learned from me to let it be haha.

Doubt we meet again, but for it to happen need all those new large 2A schools to make the playoffs.

Good luck versus Kings Mountain tonight.

Well, it is considering the number of teams that moved down from the 3A ranks. The thinking from general conversation I've had with a couple of people is that we will be 2AA again, but maybe we won't include the janitors and lunchroom employees in our ADM count again.;)
@Frank Lost Password, I give it to you, that was funny when you mentioned that last season.

I think I said you guys were counting elementary schools visiting on field trips as well. As low as our number is, we might want to do the same!

Seriously, though, it's kind of sad to see a traditional powerhouse's numbers on the decline like that. Shelby's numbers were plummeting at one time, so much so it looked as if we were headed for 1A, I was so disappointed that I told myself, if that were to happen, I would no longer support my alma mata, but of course, I wouldn't take it that far. I was disappointed when we dropped to the 2A ranks. And, speaking of traditional powerhouses, I never imagined South Point becoming 2A, I guess it's just the sign of the times we're living in.

The problem with the Reidsville ADMs is twofold.

First and foremost, no jobs equal no parents equal no kids. Reidsville ranks in the top ten not just in football but in population decline over the past decade. Reidsville has some of the highest property tax rates and water and sewer rates of any town its size in North Carolina, making it near impossible to recruit industry.

Second, the aforementioned school board is very keen on letting Reidsville kids from certain neighborhoods transfer to Rockingham County High, no questions asked. And that policy will not change.

Sorry I got you upset there Lion. Just noting that for the first time in many, many years your Golden Lions aren't ranked #1. Not that it means much of anything, but that has been an incredible run of #1 computer rankings that may never again be matched.

Oh, and Simmons has you a 13 point favorite tonight. Good luck tonight and especially next Friday. Our state's reputation is on the line.

Yes, you got me upset, my initial reaction in here, in the crib.

Seriously, though, your reply was very informative, and I was just about to ask you about his projected spread on our game tonight, so you were right on time w/ that. What's his spread on Reidsville vs MV? 23, if I had to guess.

40 points although I have no idea how he comes up with a point spread vs out of state team. Magna Vista has been a very good program over the years but this game is somewhat of an unknown.

As you can tell, as a former school board member, I am not a fan of the current crowd. If I wasn't just too darn old, I would make an effort to upset a few of them and kick some jazz over in Wentworth.

Oops, edited to note the school board headquarters is in Eden. Just seems like it is in Wentworth along with Rockingham County High.

Why do you guys keep quoting Farooq in response to that Ron Simmons reference? Me thinks you're a bit confused.

LA - That Rick James on the couch vid has me screaming. Charlie Murphy! :) :)
