  1. Yeah but it was against my Cavs. Take it with a grain of salt.
  2. This might be off topic, but I figured it'd get the most views here. I spent 13 years growing up in Galax, VA and not once did I know that, that is where the legendary Bobby Dodd was born. There's no signs, nothing named after him, no one even talks about him. I figured if anyone knew why, it would be you fanatics on this board. Galax is pretty small, but you think I'd of heard of him. Heck, there's a picture of Kylene Barker at our freaking Wal-Mart. She won Miss America back in the 70's, you'd figure we'd at least put Bobby Dodd's name up somewhere, he's got a frickin stadium named after him in Atlanta. I just wondered if some of you guys have more information about him. Says he was born in Galax, doesn't mean he grew up there. The only information I can find on him starts when he played QB at Tennessee. Did he go to Galax High School? Was there even a Galax High School back then? I have no clue about any of this and I'm dumbfounded that a person of his notoriety could go unheard of in such a small town.
  3. Carroll is appealing some of their suspensions and rightfully so. http://www2.wsls.com/news/2012/may/03/carroll-county-high-school-appeals-baseball-brawl-ar-1889555/ The Lineberry boy did nothing but try to get to the base. He wasn't involved in the scuffle at all, no reason for him to be suspended further than the 1 game with the entire team.
  4. In Richmond here, felt it really good in my 2nd floor apartment. Shook for a good 30 seconds, I'd say if I had anything on the walls it would have fell down. First earthquake ever.
  5. Prayer's go out to all of those affected by these incredible storms. Hope SWVA stays safe. We're expecting the storms here in Richmond in the morning hours, right around rush hour. I can't sleep just thinking about it. A few months back an ef0 tore up our fence and chewed up our basketball goal as well as break our front porch rocker. I was scared to death, I couldn't even fathom the idea of an ef5 1 and 1/2 mile wide.
  6. I already put my life savings on it. All 2 dollars and 50 cents.
  7. Hey all It's been a while since I've been on the boards but it looks like Carroll had a pretty decent season and has a home playoff game coming up. We lost to Basset in our first game close right? I'm living in Florida right now but I'm actually driving home early tomorrow morning and thinking about going to the game now that I realize we have one. What are some things I should watch for and can someone give me a quick rundown of the Cavs season? How bad did Richlands beat us? Have we passed the ball more than twice this year? Still run the single wing? Man it's been so long since I've been home, didn't we renovate our field or something? Are our refs still the worst in the SWD? Updates people, updates.
  8. Here's how the ACC is going to shake down. UNC wins out vs Tech W(4-2) vs NCST W(5-2) at Dook W(6-2) VT loses 2 of last 3 at UNC L(5-1) at Miami L(5-2) vs UVA W(6-2) Miami loses 1 of 2 remaining ACC games (hell they might lose to USF too) at GT L(4-3) vs VT W(5-3) at USF (Who Cares) So then VT and UNC would be tied at the top of the Coastal but UNC would have the tie breaker. We all know that the ACC is as predictable as the weather in March in the Blue Ridge mountains but this is how I see it going down. Of course my shades are heavily shaded to a beautiful Carolina blue and this Butch Davis Kool-Aid is tasting awful sweet here lately. The only other way I pray it works out is - Miami beats GT and then loses to VT and VT loses to UNC, beats Miami then the Hoos pull it out in Blacksburg. I almost hope it happens this way because I love rivalry Upsets (sans dook upsetting UNC in Kennan)
  9. I've been drinking this beautiful Carolina Blue kool-aid for a while now. It's turned up a bit sour the past few years but I'm thinking it's got just the right amount of sugar in it now. That UVA game was a joke. I've never been so frustrated over lack of offense in my life. I love defense but that game was straight boring and I'm sure the stress shortened my life span a year or so. But I still have faith in TJ Yates, unlike some Carolina fans. He's gonna have a good core of receivers around him this year with the freshman getting experience. If you guys recall 2 years ago when we had the 3 best recievers in the ACC (Hakeem Nicks, Brandon Tate, Brooks Foster) TJ was killing it until he got hurt in the Tech game. I see more of that happening this year, only this year I'm not too scared if he gets hurt because Renner is gonna be a star no matter when we throw him in there.
  10. Doesn't matter if it's their best offense ever. UNC has the best defense PERIOD. Tech has no shot at winning the Coastal b/c UNC plans on going undefeated in ACC play. And a win against LSU means undeafeated season for UNC.
  11. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/hokies-oldest-player-known-pranks-weightroom-feats-0 This is a pretty cool story I found from the ACC College Football Blog over on ESPN. I thought the name sounded familiar when I read the caption and sure enough it's the Ole Mark Muncey from Tazwell. Even though it's not recognition for play, it's still pretty cool Sorry if I reposted this or anything, just figured i'd share.
  12. Not bad I suppose. Hope those boys do well this season. I was thinking of applying to become a ref for the SWD. My mom makes great home cooked meals.
  13. So I haven't been keeping up with swva football much this year but just wanting to know how CC looks this year? Saw that they lost to Basset - speed is always an issue Also saw that they lost to Christiansburg - they're always tough, I happen to know the Criner boy on Christiansburg's squad, hopefully he does big things cause I used to be roommates with his brother. UR Spiders season tickets maybe? Now it says that they are 3-4 on the VHSL standings page. But that don't seem right. no way we're on week 7 already. Anywhoo, just looking to see if anyone had some information for me. Thanks, CC78 Oh yeah, how bout them Tarheels?
  14. Players to watch this year are definately Tyler Reavis and KJ Handy (If he still plays and I hope he does... haven't been back to carroll this year) Also James aka Sideburns is going to tear up some boards. That dude is a man... litterally, he's had sideburns since the 6th grade. Also, Tax is a good player from Tazewell, wish you played with more heart man. i remember my senior year 2 years ago playing against you guys in the SWD turny at Grundy and you just gave up, let me hit a 3 pointer and I'm terrible, was like you just watched me. But you're a senior now and I'm sure you have a good mindset. You got mad potential don't let it go to waist, I've seen some big boys up here in Richmond who think they have a good game but when it comes down to it they don't have the heart to do anything with it. Keep on keepin on... Life's a Garden.. Dig it. And to Tyler Reavis, KJ, James, and Coach Hawks.... I love you guys, give 'em hell this year. PS. It's 4 in the morning and I'm listening to old Travis Trit. It's like i'm on a roller coaster going up and down, first i'm giving my girl a quarter to call someone who cares and then I'm wishin i was just dreaming... golly gee. Oh yeah, watch out for VCU this year baby, I see another Upset in the tournament... Unless they Play my Heels I think i spell pretty good after a long night of some pong.
  15. My friend from Giles County used that line on me the other day when we were skipping class to play NCAA 09. I intercepted his pass with Trimmane Goddard and he screamed "THIS BULL IS RIGGED LIKE A CARROLL COUNTY FOOTBALL GAME!" I didn't help my case any when I tried to convince him that Ed Hochulli used to ref at Carroll...
