The BHC has an article about the recent success of the Bluefield Rams football team since Coach Lusk became head coach

Do you think UVA will hover around .500 by season's end (give or take: i.e. 5-7 to 7-5)?

Not off to a great start in Wise. They trail Glenville St. 14-0 with 2:26 left in the 2nd quarter. ...and they fall 17-7.

For me, UVA-Wise has improved dramatically for the past 2 years compared to what it used to be. For this season, I am setting the bar for them right at 5-5.

The Premier League returns today!

The 2018-19 season is gonna start in under a month. UVA-Wise is ranked 7th in the MEC preseason poll.

In response to the now infamous Helsinki summit with Putin, Trump invites him to the White House.

Apparently, Audi Stadium's opening came with mixed reviews. DC United got the win, and there were a lot of people that seemed happy with the experience, but a reporter got hurt and a railing was held together by duct tape. Also, there were WiFi and cellular problems. Here's an article on the issues

World Cup final tomorrow will be France v Croatia. Who do you have winning? For MLS, looks like DC United now has Wayne Rooney to go along with the new stadium. Awesome!

A few surprises so far in the World Cup: Germany came in last place in its group Argentina, Portugal, & Spain are out in the Round of 16

Apparently, UVa-Wise isn't the only team leaving the MEC in 2019-20.

It's now official. Medicaid expansion will happen on Jan. 1.

The state senate has just passed its budget, which includes Medicaid expansion. It will go to the House of Delegates and, if passed, will be sent to Gov. Northam.

This thread is about professional soccer. So today, Chelsea won the FA Cup against Man. U 2-1.

How often do you go on "nostalgia trips" (i.e. all of the articles online about stuff from the 2000s, 90s, etc.)? If you do, what are you nostalgic for?

Don't look now, everyone, but the Braves are just 1/2 game back in the NL East.

Very interesting article about media coverage on the Douma attack. It is lengthy, but there's a lot of substance in it.

The House of Delegates have passed a budget that includes Medicaid expansion. It's now up to the Senate to vote on it.

This was basically the same logic that was used before the Iraq War. Look at what happened to that country after Saddam was toppled.

UVA-Wise is going to the South Atlantic Conference in 2019-20.

As of this thread's posting, the US, along with the UK and France, has conducted strikes against select locations in Syria to deter the Assad government from using chemical weapons. What do you all think of this (both the strike and the overall Syrian conflict)?

Will the Braves finally have fewer than 90 losses this season?

Doesn't have to do with this region, but in Pennsylvania's 18th congressional district, there was a special election and the Democratic candidate pulled off a major upset to win the vacant seat.
