I will post the full concert schedule on Monday when I get to work and view the lineup again. Taylor Made kicks off the concert from: 1-1:45pm Dierks Bently and Montgomery Gentry are the last two performances of the day. They both will be on stage for an estimated hour and 15 minutes. The last performance is scheduled to end around 10:15 I believe. I'll double check and post the performance times sometime on Monday.

Thought about getting it....But this will be the first year I don't purchase the game...I feel like i'm getting old...I use to be a die hard gamer but I just don't have the time anymore. Not to mention how much my GPA has improved since i've gave up gaming.

First ever Preseason SWVA Sweet 16: http://web.archive.org/web/20011013092325/http://www.swvafootball.com/preseason_swvaf_sweet_16.htm Things definitely have changed.

Also according to the story on ESPN, the ruling does contain a few restrictions: Beer sales will end in the middle of the third quarter. A patron is allowed a maximum of two beers per purchase. No beer sales in the student section. Mandatory ID checks. And beer will be sold in plastic bottles. http://espn.go.com/blog/bigeast/post/_/id/20448/west-virginia-will-sell-beer-in-stadium

I do understand that many WVU fans and students do get out of control. However don't forget about the people like me, who just like to enjoy a couple cold adult beverages while watching the game. I might drink more than I normally would, however I've never done anything that involved violence, stupidity (burning couches and etc), or show hate towards the opposing team fans at any WVU football game.

The kid passed up a great opportunity, but he has the heart of a champion by doing what he did. Very great story.

This will help: Just released into the news today http://sports.yahoo.com/golf/blog/devil_ball_golf/post/New-golf-ball-flies-straight-off-the-tee-8230-?urn=golf-wp1752 New golf ball flies straight off the tee … illegally! By Jay Busbee If you're like me, your tee shots have a tendency to shoot into the woods faster than a scalded dog. Fear not, friends, there's a cure for all of us, as the New York Times tells us: a new, only-flies-straight golf ball! There's just one small catch ... Presenting the Polara Golf Ball, the ball which is guaranteed to fly straight. It does so because of two different pattern of dimples: a shallow set around the ball's equator, and deeper dimples along the poles. The combination of those keeps the ball flying lower and straighter. It's like magic! The price for these super balls is around $30. But what's the catch? Ah, there's always a catch. The pattern is illegal according to the USGA, so you can't use it in any sanctioned competition in the United States. And while you could use it in your local scramble, you've got to decide whether it's worth getting caught. But the balls fly so straight! "It's for the other golfers, the ones who rarely hit it straight," says Dave Felker, a Polara executive with experience engineering Callaway golf balls. "It's for people who want to be embarrassed less, play faster and enjoy it more. I respect the USGA, they help identify the best golfers in the world, but what about the rest of us?" But Dick Rugge, the USGA's technical director, doesn't much care for that line of reasoning. "For the last 15 years, advances in conforming club and ball technologies have made it easier to play," Rugge said. "So we've already had a 15-year experiment on this make-it-easier logic. And what have been the results? Participation has not gone up. So we're not going to dumb it down. You know the easiest way to get the ball in the middle of the fairway? Walk down there and place it with your hand. Who are you kidding?" (Wait, you can do that? Man, that would totally change my game.) All right, your turn. The Polara sounds wonderful, but is it something you'd use? Do you worry about the USGA-sanctioned equipment, or will you trick up your game with whatever you can get your hands on?

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=6424084 Email Print Comments203 By Chris Mortensen ESPN Archive U.S. District Court Judge Susan Richard Nelson has granted NFL players their motion for a preliminary injunction, therefore lifting the lockout that was imposed by owners on March 11. Neither side had an official reaction, pending the official posting by Judge Nelson but the NFL is expected to immediately request a stay of the ruling until it can make its arguments before the United States Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit, which is headquartered in St. Louis but also has an office in St. Paul. A judicial assistant for Judge Nelson, whose chambers are in St. Paul, declined comment on whether the judge has enjoined the lockout, according to sources. The NFL is expected to release a statement shortly after Judge Nelson's ruling is posted. The immediate impact of the ruling on the status of an estimated 500 free agent players and other player transactions is uncertain. If the league does not get the court to stay the ruling pending an appeal, the league will have to open its doors for players. The NFL also will have to decide whether to impose a similar system that has been in place under the previous collective bargaining agreement that expired on March 11. The players had asked U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson to immediately halt the lockout at a hearing April 6. Players including MVP quarterbacks Tom Brady and Peyton Manning filed the injunction request along with a class-action antitrust lawsuit against the NFL shortly before the lockout began March 11. Nelson ordered additional mediation between the owners and players' association while she considered the request. The sides met four times with U.S. Judge Magistrate Arthur Boylan after 16 days of failed talks in front of a federal mediator in Washington. Nelson then gave the sides a break from mediation last week, and they weren't scheduled to reconvene until May 16. Commissioner Roger Goodell said Friday he didn't believe the labor impasse would be resolved through the courts. "I recognize people try to get leverage in negotiations, but at the end of the day it's going to come down to the negotiations," Goodell said. "The sooner we get to that negotiation, the better. I think the litigation has delayed those negotiations." It still wasn't clear Monday if and when the NFL would decide to cancel games. The tentative 2011 schedule was released last Tuesday and had regular-season games beginning Sept. 8, but it included room to maneuver. The NFL could still squeeze in 16 games with a three-week delayed start by eliminating bye weeks and the week between the conference championships and the Super Bowl. Executive vice president for football operations Ray Anderson has said it was feasible to play fewer than the normal four preseason games, but general managers and coaches would prefer at least two. In another ruling expected soon, U.S. District Judge David Doty has a May 12 hearing set on the players' request for damages after he ruled in March that the NFL did not maximize revenues for both sides when it renegotiated $4 billion in TV contracts with the labor dispute looming. The NFL has also filed an unfair labor practice charge against the union with the National Labor Relations Board. The board could announce in the next four to six weeks whether it will hear the complaint. NFL officials contend that alone would be significant. Eric Grubman, the NFL's executive vice president of finance, said if the board started the process, that would indicate it believed the decertified NFL Players Association was still acting as a union, as the NFL has alleged. The players' lawsuit was combined with two other similar claims from retirees, former players and rookies-to-be, with Hall of Famer Carl Eller the lead plaintiff in that group. Executive VP Jeff Pash, the NFL's lead negotiator, has said he felt talks between the league and the retired players were particularly productive, and that the owners remain committed to improving benefits and taking care of their former players. The league and players disagree sharply on how to divide more than $9 billion in annual revenue. The owners initially wanted to double the money they get off the top for expenses from about $1 billion to about $2 billion, but that number dropped during the first round of mediation. The players have insisted on full financial disclosure from all 32 teams, and so far the league has not opened the books to their liking. Other major issues include benefits for retired players and the NFL's desire to stretch the regular season from 16 to 18 games. The NFL also wants to cut almost 60 percent of guaranteed pay for first-round draft picks, lock them in for five years and divert the savings to veterans' salaries and benefits. More than $525 million went to first-rounders in guaranteed payments in 2010. The league wants to decrease that figure by $300 million, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press. Chris Mortensen is ESPN's senior NFL analyst. Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Been hearing rumors of this since I was in high school. I hope it gets approved.

I occasionally play on pokerstars and full tilt. Oh well, it will most likely save me money in the long run haha

I guess we aren't playing this year??

We have 4 votes for the draft being tomorrow. The other two people are required to vote tho

haha your absolutely right. For some reason I can't seem to go a day at the beach without multiple adult beverages lol

Highlanders, I'll dig out my yearbook on Wednesday and find the remaining players if you want. I would do it sooner but it's burried in one of the million boxes in my basement. Trying to cram one weeks worth of homework into the next two days. That's what I get for procrastinating at the beach! lol

Baseball and Softball are the only two sports they transfer to the following year. They are referring to the the 05-06 basketball team. (Our Junior year)

If I were you I would listen to your parents and do everything they say. Once college hits if they don't decide to support you, then welcome to the real world. Trust me, taking 18 credit hours, working 35-40 hours a week, and paying your own bills is not fun....It's just life........I've worked my ass off all through college and I know it's going to pay off one day. I cannot say that I'm not jealous of the kids that did not have to work through college. Some of just more fortunate.

BigBlue, you might actually have VIP tickets, because I do know the VIP section does have private restrooms and etc.

The floor tickets at Second Chance are $60 for the first 2 sections (NOT INCLUDING THE VIP SECTION), $45 for the last section. $35 and $30 for tickets in the Bleacher Section. If she paid $60 a piece than the tickets are most likely section Prem A-J VIP tickets start at $500 for 2 tickets and range to $10,000 (Which all VIP packages include tickets to the after party) Here's the link to the VIP ticket packages: http://secondchancelearning.com/concert/img/Concert-Sponsorship-Packages-11-01-2010.pdf I wish I had the money for the "Maverick Package" LOL
