Vikings pillaged and plundered the HT Rangers, 42-0. Talk about horrifying cliches.
Decent game for the first quarter - then TV put up 4 TD's in the second quarter, and 2 more in the second half. It may have taken them 12 minutes to get out of the blocks, but the Vikings played solid on both sides of the ball for the remaining 36.
Teays Valley has always been an interesting place for a game. They've upgraded the field (that turf is sharp!) and a new video screen scoreboard (nice and bright) since we were there last. A dedicated operator in the pressbox runs video highlights and features of various TV players, and several promos and sound bites play seamlessly throughout the the game. Very nice sound system, and you can hear the PA guy on the visitors side, no problem. Solid concession stand with a plethora of choices. I had a hot dog, which turned out to be more of a very tasty summer sausage
But for all the high tech, they don't mic the ref. Had a hard time determining what violation was being called, even when using binocs. Also, I was disappointed no game programs were on sale that I could tell, even after checking with a number of workers near the entrances and concession stand. Oh well.
