WOW you still involed??
Not involved anymore. I got frustrated with the way the University treated the program. It's a club program that didn't play many other club teams. In fact, we played Wesley College a bunch of times. A friend of mine, Tom Smith was coaching there, not sure if he still coaches there or not.
Mason is in the CAA which Delaware is a part of, and they are going to add 2 new teams in the next 2 years, Old Dominion and Georgia State. Ga. State is one of the few other club teams we played and now they are going NCAA and joining the CAA in 2012.
I really do miss coaching. I might look into jobs at Catholic or Gallaudet. Maybe look at a high school job.
If you're mad at your kid, you can either raise him to be a nose tackle or send him out to play on the freeway. It's about the same. ~Bob Golic

Is that coach Ragsdale from Giles County? I used to coach for Norm Lineburg at Radford High School. We always had a tough time running single wing plays in practice the week before playing Giles.

Interesting..we have to great programs here in Wesley and Delaware. Not sure in Smith is still there...I know the OC and the Pass game coach...trying to get a internship with them or Del State...Coach Lavan goes to my church and he's been great to our PW kids in getting them to games and letting them hang out on the field with the players after the game.

Yes Coach Ragsdale is from Giles. I played for him and coached under him until he retired 2 years ago. I am still at Giles and we still do everything exactly as he did, why change anything that a legend was doing. We have had some battles with Radford over the years and I am sure you were involved. Looks like another one coming up the finish this year. Coach Linenburg is a class act guy also, I have alot of respect for him and his program. I have always wondered what it would be like to see another team trying to prepare for the single wing in practice. I know how our kids struggle trying to run an offense with a QB. It is not pretty.
DE, you keep it up, the only thing better than prowling the sidelines as a coach is being able to prowl the sidelines as a player. Like I said, any time you want to talk X's and O's let me know.

Coach Lineburg is definitely a class act. I learned so much about coaching from him, Buddy Shull, Tony DeHart and the coaches that were there with me in the early 90's. I always respected coach Ragsdale and his staff. Giles was always well prepared and well coached team. I wish you luck against Radford, but I'll be pulling for the Bobcats to win that game

We have Radford Friday night for the district title and the #1 seed in the playoffs. What a series this has been over the years. Others have come and gone over the years but these 2 programs have remained. Classic rivalry with two very well ran programs.

Who won?

Radford won 23 to 19. Great ball game both teams left it on the field. We were up 13 to 3 at the half but to many mistakes in the 2nd half. Radford has several great athletes this year and we got out of position. We have to go back over there Friday for the first round of the playoffs. Should be another great one to add to the rivalry.

Sounds like it was a good game, sorry that Giles lost. I'm guessing Matthew Saunders it the Radford head coach now right?

Yes Matthew is the new head coach. I was telling Greg Canaday that I had spoken with someone from Radford on here and he was wondering who it would be. He is a principal over here at an elementary school. Radford beat us 14 to 8 the second game(2 great games). They beat Wythe 33 to 28 on Friday and now go to Fort Chiswell for the Region Championship on Friday. I feel like they will win and I will be there to support the TRD as hard as that is for me. HaHa. They are very athletic this year and are solid up front.
