You can get intoxicated anywhere if you set your mind to it. 

Going 75 MPH on 19 and 58-ALT, sure...

What airplane are you taking that gets you from Jonesville to Pearisburg in 3.5 hours?

Gunpowder,Biscuits and Gravy

When it comes to booze HW don't lose lol

FYI there is suppose to be another establishment in Marion that has Liquid Refreshment I can't remember of the name of it for some reason. maybe Canes or HW knows the name.

As long as I have time for a beverage or 4 at the Macado's then I'm good for any time.

The first playoff game I played in was at Marion my Freshman year. That game turned out to be one of the closest, hard fought matchups I took part in.  
 
I expect nothing less of Friday night. 

yosef,
 
You stated that you were "Not a Lee person at all", but in the Lee/Appomattox thread you said that you "Love the generals..." I have never heard someone say that they love a team, but aren't a die hard fan. If you're a Lee fan then say so. Nothing wrong with that. They've had some tough breaks over the last few years, and have been a much better team than their record would indicate. I personally LOVE the bears. I pull for Gate City, Lee, Richlands, Clintwood, and other local teams anytime I can, but I don't "love" them. That "love" is reserved for Union because they're the team that I sit on hard, concrete bleachers for in the rain and frigid cold. They're the ones that I have traveled for hours to go watch on Friday nights and in the playoffs.
 
If you don't like Union or think they are overrated then that is certainly your right. I think that they are capable of winning every game that they play, and I should, because I'm a FAN. I'm not so over zealous that I think they are unstoppable. I know they have their faults and weaknesses and their coaches don't always make the best decisions, but I still go and cheer them on every Friday. And heck, every player should walk onto that field each Friday KNOWING that they can win their game regardless of records. If they don't then why do they even bother showing up for each contest.
 
Also, I don't know too many "bad" teams that have back to back 8-2 seasons this year, or that have come from 21 and 14 down to win ball games. 
 
That's just one FAN's opinion.

The amount of acreage to adequately build a new school is vastly different than the acreage required to adequately build a new school.  The guidelines and regulations in place provide for some pretty intense design constraints. One such constraint is access to campus.  Two distinct entrances and exits are required for any new school construction leading to two different parts of campus.  It is preferred those access points lead to two different highways but that is not always feasible.  
 
The state and federal governments also have minimum standards that must be met for such things as stormwater collection, sewage collection, public water, communications, condition of maintained highways, parking, lighting, vegetation, landscaping, and the list goes on and on and on.
 
The new stormwater regulations that went into effect July 1st would add several acres to any site development project.  The larger the site being developed, the more acreage would be needed to comply.  If public access facilities would be required such as football stadiums, baseball fields, gyms or auditoriums, they would be required to have separate parking and access points than the general student body.  Many of these regulations can be seen in the photo on the Dickenson County Public Schools website.

Notice the parking facilities removed from the main school buildings serving the athletic fields, distinctly different access points behind and in front of the school and the stormwater detention pond above the baseball field.

If Tazewell County ever were to be put in this situation I am almost certain they would "poop the bed."

I don't see how anyone could actually bet against them royally screwing that one up. Lol.

I know some folks of the Dickenson IDA very well.  If the Dickenson IDA sets its mind to something, it gets done and it gets done above and beyond expectations.
 
It's kinda like Tazewell County, only the exact opposite.

You're not going to see four to a room. If you want your players rested, you won't put four teenage boys in the same room, test me. Two to a room and those two be the opposite of character/personality, if that makes sense

Stripes after the Marion game
 

 
(I stole this from Sacco)

That's why you play have to play all 4 quarters against a good team

I like idiots!!!

...and don't get me wrong, I love going to Richlands for a game every now and then...beautiful field and great lighting...but you know every now and then it's nice (and fun) to watch a game out in the elements...whatever they might be...that's what makes football great, and the more extreme the better.
 
For those kids that played last night I'm sure there are a lot of games that they wouldn't really remember from this season that were played on a perfect surface...but, none of them will forget playing in that game last night...which otherwise, would have been just another forgettable and  boring blowout.
