  1. Global warming is real, unless you're talking about the "global warming" theory Al Gore supports, that's what the debate is. Global warming, as in the earth's average temp. increase, that's real. Personally, I think it's a natural warming cycle in which will eventually come back down. Do I think we could be helping in the rapid increase? Sure, that's certainly possible. But I don't agree with the way the media portrays some of it currently. The climate is indeed warming, it is changing, no doubt about any of that.
  2. Would like to see Houseright get some PT. [ QUOTE ] Hall to Undergo Wrist Surgery, Out 4-6 Weeks by Chris Coleman, TechSideline.com Associate Editor Oct 07, 2007 Virginia Tech has announced that All-American senior linebacker Vince Hall suffered a broken left wrist during Saturday night's game at Clemson, and the injury will require surgery. As a result, Hall is expected to miss 4-6 weeks of action. The news is somewhat unexpected. Although ESPN cameras clearly showed Hall being hurt during Saturday's game, he returned to the field shortly thereafter and was able to finish the game. He leads the team with 61 tackles. He also has five tackles for loss and two sacks. Brett Warren, a r-junior, is listed as Hall's backup. He is regarded as being a good player against the run, but questionable against the pass. When Hall was briefly out of the game on Saturday, it was walk-on Jonas Houseright who replaced him. Bud Foster apparently trusts Houseright in coverage moreso than Warren. In other injury news, Ed Wang did not play against Clemson. He will likely see his first action of the year this Saturday against Duke. [/ QUOTE ]
  3. Yes, I just realized what he meant and was coming back to correct it, but you beat me to it haha. Sorry about that.

  6. [ QUOTE ] Don't they take showers in Castlewood..... [/ QUOTE ] It's not just Castlewood....
  7. [ QUOTE ] I think Lee thought the exact samething when they combined 4 schools to make 1, they thought they would win everything coming and going, not even worrying about travel back then, it didn't happen and now all you hear is how far THEY have to travel to play not that anyone has to go to Benhur. [/ QUOTE ] 5 schools combined to form Lee High. You may be forgetting, but remember, three of the schools were Dryden, Keokee, and Flatwoods. Even had St. Charles not long before that. Lee had to go through with it. The only other alternative was to have two schools instead of one. I'm not sure how much Thomas Walker not wanting a part in the consolidation had to with not going through with that though. Had nothing to do with athletics. From what I understand the issue of travel was not always a concern, because it wasn't like this when Lee opened. The issue has just come up in recent years. And of course we know others have to come here. But everyone tries that one, don't know why either, never works.
  8. Halftime.... Powell Valley 20 J.I. Burton 12 Coeburn 14 Thomas Walker 0 2nd qt. scores announced on WAXM... Lebanon 13 Clintwood 0 J.J. Kelly 36 Grundy 0
  9. Doesn't say exactly where but the Kingsport paper said there are reports being investigated in the Cumberland Plateau Health Districts. A third case has been confirmed in the Lenowisco Health district (Lee, Wise, Scott, City of Norton) to go along with the two in Appy, making it a "outbreak" status. Apparently two in the Cumberland Plateau district are in Dickenson County and another in Tazewell from what I gather, but they don't say where in Tazewell County. Here's the link to yesterday's Kingsport Times newspaper article..... http://timesnews.net/article.php?id=9003070
  10. Hmmm. I always thought it was something like the '04 Powell Valley/Lee High game (75-22 was the final). Being up, what was it? 42 or 48-6 or something like that late in the game, pulling your second string and putting your starters back in and putting 75 on the board!!! That's running up the score. Of course it was a bit of retaliation, but... Besides, if you can't stop them, who's fault is that?
  11. Tennessee High won 20-0.
  12. Arkansas State and UCF.....
  13. [ QUOTE ] Anyone hear the VHS @ THS score? [/ QUOTE ] Game was postponed until tomorrow.

  16. Lee High upsets Middlesboro, KY (ranked 5th in 2A) 20-19.
  17. You probably meant to say otherwise, but you got the wrong "Gap" Cola lol. You'd be going just a little too far if came to Pennington haha.
  18. PV's? You probably do, that's not what I meant. I know they've won a few titles without the Jones brothers too. And I'll stay and go where I want to..
  19. Quit embarrassing your teams with ignorance. That's for both of you. Seems neither of you even know about the others history anyway.
  20. Shut up, please. BR is right. They need to get it together especially on offense.
  21. Yeah, a nice band of showers and storms developed over the area, actually still ongoing too. A few flood/flash flood warnings still out from about Rockbridge on down to Ashe County, NC>
  22. [ QUOTE ] besides the hick id have to go with Five Star Stadium in Lee Co. just because they like to throw things [/ QUOTE ] Dang, I must have missed that one haha.
