Re: Nashville

Born and raised in Nashville/Brentwood, family moved to North Carolina when I was 14. Brentwood is a great place, but it is getting more and more crowded. Murfreesboro seems to be the new suburban growth area in town. If you're just looking for a quiet place to live, I would suggest Ashland City/Ple...

Re: UNC-Charlotte Spring Game Draws 14,000

. . .and Georgia Tech plays 2nd fiddle to Georgia in Atlanta even though Athens is 90 miles away. I think "casual fans" are going to be attracted to more successful programs. If App continues to have success on the field, we will be fine in terms of attendance and support. If we have some sustained ...

Re: UNC-Charlotte Spring Game Draws 14,000

I agree with those on here who said that sustaining the momentum will be the key. Living in Atlanta, I have watched with great interest as Georgia State started their program. Everyone talking about the population in Charlotte making high attendance more likely, remember how much bigger Atlanta is t...

Re: Margaret Thatcher Passes

In my opinion, one of the greatest leaders in the world's history just passed: I laughed out loud when I read this. Between people saying she was pure evil and the people saying she was one of the greatest leaders ever, hyperbole is winning the morning. You take the good with the bad, she showed gr...

Re: Hugo Chavez dead at 58

I clicked this thread fully expecting to read at least a few posts that were bats**t crazy, insanely offensive, or some combination of the first two options.

I found none of the above.

You're all going soft. :D

Re: QUESTION CONCERNING MOVING UP?

Even Vanderbilt, although never an FCS school, once considered it. That never happened. I grew up in Nashville and didn't miss a Vanderbilt football or basketball game from the time I was four years old to the time we moved away from Nashville. Some writers & fans (mostly of other schools) suggeste...

Re: Satterfield tweet...

Some other App assistant tweeting about "App football is about to go to another level"... Love having coaches on twitter, but if they are going to tweet hints and such like little girls, I'd rather not have it. Complaining is oh so much fun, but please keep in mind that: A. Discussing players by na...
