Cody Johnson is not the QB. That simple. He is wayyyyyy too inconsistent throwing the ball. The flash and dazzle of the running has overshadowed this. Jack Vance has been in the system and knows what hes doing. That being said, the defensive tackling tonight was terrible. They had to have averaged about 4 yards a carry. Thats just my 10 min post-game reaction. Turnovers killed us too. Idk if it was jitters or if they dont hit that hard in WV but you gotta hold onto the ball. Congrats to Gate City. Well played game. Well coached. We had no answer to the run. Good luck the rest of the way with your season.

I agree with you. These are the best that they have had in years. I like the feathers on the shoulder pads. New idea.

Any word on what time this starts or price of admission?

Thats the exact airline. I loved it. The most beautiful thing ever was being 35000 feet in the air lol. My 2 tickets together were 58.00 yet my total was 112.20. 22 dollars to buy my 2 seats, 13.50 convience charge, 5 911 charge, etc...lol. But it was worth it.

Well my gf made it through the surgery. She wont have to have open heart for another 3-5 years. Im getting ready to leave for the airport now. Flying out of Tri Citites. Really cheap if your flying to FL. like 19 a ticket lol.

Been a busy couple of months with my band. We have played 15 shows in the last 3 months, including 2 in the same day, 3 hours apart. Well, this weekend is pretty big for us. We play at the Dungeon of Orlando, Friday night. They expect a big crowd seeing as it is the day before the 4th as well as teh Daytona race. So thats that, now heres everything leading up to it. I leave tomorrow morning with my girlfriend. She is having a cath done in Charlottesville and possibly a Ballooning and Stint in her heart, as she has had a hole in her heart since she was born. The operation is Thursday morning at 6:30. My band is leaving around the same time Thursday morning, prohibiting me from riding down with them. Only option? Fly. So my Grandparents are coming to Charlottesville Thursday night and bringing me back. This is a lil stupid imo but a round trip plane ticket was 112.20 after all the charges. A one way to Orlando was 268.40. So I will leave friday at 3:55 from Tri-Cities. I will land in Orlando somewhere around 5:35. Not a bad flight. I will be approx 20 min away from Orlando. So I must catch a cab. My band will be sound checking and our rhodie will do my bass for me. I should arrive at the venue about an hour before we play. We are going to the beach Saturday. They are leaving Sunday morning at 11. Dropping me off at Orlando-Sanford on teh way. So I will have to wait untill 1:50 for my plane to take off. Boring. So all in all this should be an intresting weekend to say the least. Cant wait to get back and tell you guys all the screw ups lol.

Thats all ive heard as well lance.

600. Thats funny.

Hey guys. Got a much better video up. New song called 1934. Recorded at our show in Knoxville 2 weeks ago. Aside from the ify vocals at the start its a really good recording of us. Tell me what ya think.

She hit a milestone yesterday. She got her 500th career strikeout last night in the first inning aginst Abingdon. They won and will play Tazewell tonight for the District Champ. at 7 in Richlands.

She is my sister and she signed with Emory and Henry to play softball next year. Shes pretty excited bc she will get to play right away and Emory is the only school she talked to that will let her hit.

I love spiders. I own a tarantula, not that big, but a tarantula none the less. The next one im gonna buy is a Goliath Bird-Eater. Im facisanated by them, well all spiders in general. lol

Yea. We have been together for a little over 2 years now.

You called the hell outta that one lol. The Deftones and Tool are our biggest musical influences. But its really weird what is on all our iPods. Joe is a Metal Head, stuff like Manson, Slayer, Tool, Deftones, Pantera, and his favorite band is ACDC. Corey is Country/ Alt. Rock, such as Breaking Benjamin, Crossfade, Shinedown. Jon is a classic rock guy. And I listen to mostly Screamo/Alt Metal. And we all come together to play the kind of music we do lol. BTW, we all are Trombonists.

Thanks for the comments guys. We are getting ready to go in the studio to record our first full length album and I was just seeing what other people thought. We will be playing at the Rock-It in Bluefield Friday May 8th if you want to come catch us. Its small but at least they pay lol.

Yes. Mr. Whitt is our singer. lol. Corey Short plays drums. And for Gman. The Deftones are our biggest influence. We use alot of the same structures as the Deftones such as the Bar 7 and 9 chords. The beginning was shaky, yes. This was our 2nd song and we were playing in front of 100-150 people. We have never played in front of a crow that big. lol. Ill put some more up as soon as I get them. We are playing in the Big Mamas battle of the bands in Seymour TN and they do a professional live DVD recording of ever band. So that will be awesome. We are also in the process of getting Framing Hanley to come play with us in Abingdon on August 1st. That will be awesome. I think they said the last time they played in Johnson City they drew 900+ people.

Hey. Just bored and figured I put a copy of the video of my band Torque's song Leech. Its about our guitarist that dosnt sings ex. Terrible relationship. Not the greatest recording of us. If you like it our Myspace is http://www.myspace.com/swvatorque http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=54973662

I was sitting in the Office of the High School. It was my office runner period. We( me, Kelli, the principal and assistant, all the secretarys) were watching in complete shock. The admin didnt care that we had our cells out trying to find out if our buddies were fine. It just dosnt seem like 2 years

Just checked my bill and In the 2 weeks since my last bill ive sent 6,783 and recieved 9,841 haha. Still 2 weeks left

I as well have heard just that. Dont know if its true but what ive heard its a 16 year old from Richlands and 2 from Tazewell.

Thats the latest I've heard as well.

Ive talked to several people around the program and everyone says Stin isnt the fastest player but he has the best hands on the team, hands down. They say he only drops one every now and then and he has an awesome ability to get open.
