  1. Hey boys.....right rear tire just blew!! On 81 just shy of Roanoke! Get there when I can! Looking for a Cracker Barrell with some fresh chicken and dumplins...save me a shaker HyTek!
  2. I think the James S. Henderson III Laundry Room on the campus of Emory and Henry College. This type of function would go along nicely with the decor of the room. Talk about fashion, check out the plaque on the back of the stall they have placed in his honor:
  3. Especially if they let Vic Hall play!!
  4. The easiest and probably the quickest class to take would have to be Jeff Tarter's "Bald is Beautiful"! Has he really been bald his entire life?
  5. I was thinking about a quick refresher in the Jay DeBord's "GEOMETRY FOR DUMMIES".
  6. Any chance of signing up for the "Bruce Sizemore Class of Strange and Thought Provoking Looks"?
  7. This word just came in from by best sources: Larry Horton, former Big Creek Owl, and manager of the Railraod Avenue Chevron is willing to donate shakers for the game!!
  8. I had a blast at the Music City Bowl! Beer at the stadium and smoozing in the lounge with Howie Long's wife!! (She has a great plastic surgeon!!) Doesn't get much better than that!! I will be the first to admit though....unlike most other fans when someone deserves credit. Graham played one heck of a game earlier this year and whipped the Blues at home. Hats off to the GMEN for that! Since that game, the Blues have kept their nose to the grind and worked their tails off to get better. And watching them for the past few weeks has been a wonderful ride and I hope it continues. As for the Graham and Richlands rivalry...I hope it continues for a long time and they both push each other to become better. This only helps both programs and helps Region IV maintain the reputaion that both Graham and Richlands have given them over the past decade in football. We should be thanking each other! The Hokies will continue their dominance in football over Virginia, as much as it pains me to say that, for the time being! I hate to admit that as a Virginia fan, but the truth is the truth. As for Groh, what do you say? I am sure the Hokie nation wants him to stay. He has his moments but for the most part he is average to below average. So do you think a coaching change is the answer? Maybe for the short term, but this is a long term problem. Welsh could never get it done either at Virginia. The school has to make the committment and I don't see that happeninig right now.
  9. Well of course we did, the Big East was becoming just too darn competitvie for the Hokies!
  10. I have to say Phil Vassar!! And, more importantly, a fellow JMU graduate! GO DUKES!!
  11. Leave it to good ole GMAN to shed some thought provoking light on any subject. After his public "recognition" earlier this year, it seems as if GMAN feels he has something to prove to everyone on this board. Can someone please tell him that Graham got beat by Marion two weeks ago!! Groh may not be the best coach in the country, but who else is out there? Seriously, UVA is not going to sink a ton of money into a "primetime" coaching candidate. It boils down to a simple fact: Colleges nowadays have to dedicate themselves to one sport. Its either basketball of football. In VT's case its simple: football. At Virginia, the athletic programs have numerous sports that compete year in and year out for national championships. The only school to come close in both sports has been Florida. Can anyone name another school that has made both the Final Four and a BCS bowl over the past five years. Pretty much few and far between. Some of your MAJOR universities can pull this off every now and then but not many can do it on a yearly basis.
  12. I am with you UVA Observer: As much as it pains me to say that Tech indeed has the better team. The programs are definitely miles apart and will likely continue for the next few years at least. UVA will always be mediocre in football and fans need to accept that fact! Hopefully one year we will finally beat the Hokies and it will be sweet but for the time being we have to move on and worry about our program and getting better each and every year. A lot of the difference comes from the whole recruiting process and the fact that UVA has voluntarily raised their entrance requirements means that they can only recruit probably 30 to 40% of the players other Div. 1 schools target. This leads to mediocrity but Groh has done a good job with what he has to work with...sometimes there are flashes of brillance, but for the most part its the same ole story year end and year out. Saturday's game boiled down to two plays: the interception at the end of the first half and the third and one call at the end of the 3rd quarter. Those two were momentum swingers and ultimately lead to UVA putting more and more pressure on the defense. Oh well, better luck next time. Hopefully Tech puts a whooping on BC and the Gator Bowl picks Virginia.
  13. I'VE GOT SOME OF MY BEST GUYS ON TOP OF THINGS AS WE SPEAK!!
  14. He son was playing that day! Actually, he pretty much took over in the second half!!
