I went to ASU. I give my money to the Yosef Club and the Appalachian Fund. I never missed a game at KBS or Varsity Gym for a televised game featuring the Tar HEELS. Why can't people just respect the decisions of others and agree to disagree?

I also root for LSU and UCLA ( the one in California). I have my own rooting interest for all of them. How does that make me less loyal to my alma mater?

You are entitled to your opinion. I know how I view both.

Being a fan and having a loyalty are two different things. Do I root for Carolina? Yes, except when they play ASU in anything. Thanks for proving my point that people see and read what they want to believe.

You are not talking about me. My loyalties for sports teams go in this order. 1. Any team wearing the black and gold. 2. There isn't a two because I didn't go to any other school. Do I root for other teams in certain situations, yes. Do I admire other school's teams. Sure. I can understand your feel...

Carolina basketball has not served any sanctions or penalties since Smith was the head coach and to the present. If you wish to paint a broad stroke across the basketball program because a kid was in posession of an illegal substance that many think should be legalized then I can't help you. I am a ...

Butch none of those programs wrote a book about doing things the Carolina way, none of them pretended to be better than others. If you are looking for something good to be said about that type of attitude you came to the wrong place. Hypocrites The book you are referring to was a leadership book wr...

However, for BQ I suggest Hendrix and M&K ( Granite Quarry).

I have been to Hendrix and I enjoy it.

I don't know if you want to push this from Salisbury, but Hickory Ridge High and Middle, along with Harrisburg and Patriots Road Elementary schools are building a phenomenal academic resume in this area. All brand new schools, all near Harrisburg. Thanks. I will look into those schools. I don't min...

It looks like my company will be relocating me soon and one of the possible landing spots is going to be north of Charlotte (Salisbury). I am doing some prep work and was hoping that some of you can give me some ideas of schools. I have one daughter that will be entering high school and one in middl...

UNCC offers a chance to start a grass roots rivalry, but I would prefer a yearly game with Wake of the ACC or perhaps a game with ECU in Charlotte if they won't come to Boone?

The scenario for App, ECU, and UNCC to take some of the limelight away from the big four is there for the taking. If they are open to playing each other as often as possible then rivalries can be formed. Rivalries create a buzz and interest from the casual fan.

Listen, we all know that App HAD to do something. Heck, I was one of the founding fathers that coined the term SmallCON. But it doesn't mean that we have to be happy about it or like the way the process was handled. Some of us can see through the rose-colored glasses. I'm trying to understand your ...

Would this have been prepared by ASU or the team?

I think our record might really come down to the order of our conference schedule. The thing that 22 scholarships adds at the mid-major level is depth more than just better players per say. This is why we were beating ECU for 3 quarters and suddenly lost by double digits int he fourth quarter. We h...

DeAngelo Williams was in Lincolnton recently as part of the NFL Play 60 program talking to elementary age kids. My friends daughter was there. After Williams spoke about nutrition and exercise he asked if any of the kids had any questions. My friends daughter who has been going to App games since s...

Where the hell is the University of Southern Florida? It's South Florida. Great fact checking skills.

I think that it would depend on who is in Boone. Home or away, USA, GaState, and LaMo do not concern me. Troy in all likelihood is a loss either way, as is, Ark St and ULL. The rest of the, depend on venue. IMO. Ulm was 6-2 in conf last year and beat Arkansas True, they did beat Arkansas, but how g...

I like the idea of adding New Mexico in all sports. Adding the in their weakest sport makes no sense to me.
