Quote from: rmc1982 on November 02, 2026, 12:22:42 PMObviously a lot of this hinges on who wins conference titles and who the NCAA awards at large bids to- some teams may not receive at large bids. The obvious choice would be to send one of us North, whoever wins the conference. We went to John Carroll last year and its 455 miles from Ashland to Cleveland.All of the teams I mentioned above are in that 600 mile ARC the NCAA uses.

500 miles.

RMC 41, Roanoke 7. This is as dominant a performance as the Jackets have had this season. It was 34-0 at halftime and the final score could have been much more lopsided if Coach Arruza had opted to play starters longer in the second half. RB Devin Bryant put up 113 of the Jackets' 350 rushing yards.

Averett gets a home win over Guilford, 21-14.

W&L ekes past Shenandoah, 17-14.

H-SC has no problem with Bridgewater 54-0.

All the marbles up for grabs next week in THE Game in Farmville.

The weather forecast for THE Game is looking good.  A look back at box scores for games with much less juice than this one show attendance of 10K - 12K.  Should be a big number for this one.  Its going to be quite a scene.  I assume the Richmond, Lynchburg & maybe Roanoke TV stations will have some people covering it.  Macon folks love filling their chartered buses for the trip out to H-S.

As someone that used to actually "calculate" those attendance numbers, you can probably trust the Nigerian prince emailing you for money more than you can trust those attendance numbers.

That's a shame, because games at St. John's and UW-Whitewater have people with actual clickers counting people through the gates.

Use a drone to get the attendance numbers, probably to the nearest 100.

No tickets and no gates and the majority of people are not in the stands.  It is a rather pleasant environment.  No precise count?



TBH, many attendees will see very little, if any, of the game, but will have a great time.

Just let the drone count everyone within a mile of the playing field.

When I was at W&L I remember going to the Foxfield Races in Charlottesville every year. I never saw a horse, a jockey, or a race. Occasionally I heard the crowd from some part of the field I never seemed to find. I'm sure I was counted in the attendance though. Had a great time each year. Or at least I think I did. Not too sure about my junior year to be honest. I remember going, no idea how I got back to Lexington.
