My understanding is HPU made arrangements to take most of the tickets

Thanks for the memory refresh. I went to the tournament in Roanoke each year in school. Good times there. Drove home from one in a snow storm all the way back to Boone. Good teams Cremins put on the floor, fun to watch.

Memory is fuzzy but was Payton on the tournament winning team.

Also Coach Bentley says they are adding a new section of bleachers to Varsity with chair backs to increase capacity for their matches. He says the ACC schools don’t like coming to Boone because of our match fan support

About what you would expect. Doug Gillen talked up the academic achievements across the entire athletics program. He also praised the three conference coaches of the year (field hockey, wrestling, and men’s basketball). Facilities continue to need upgrades. Said something about Charlotte getting a l...

And one of the rebounders I ever saw. Great teams then and really liking what I am seeing now

Best wishes GAS,

My first official date with my wife was a CSN show in 1982

I just read that Chris Rhodes (Appsolutely) has recently passed. Chris was a long time Mountaineer supporter and he used to post frequently on this board. RIP Chris.

His obit can be found in the Lexington Dispatch

Back side of Eggers in 75-76. Massive amounts of snow that Winter. It was a long trudge across that parking lot after leaving the BI or Broome Kirk at night with frigid temperatures and a strong wind. There were some epic shouting matches with residents of Towers (Winklers).

I know another couple of young App alums that will be there this week. Be on the lookout for more

Went to Beams a couple of times back in the 70’s. Great Chinese food there back then.

Praying for Daphne

This is sad. Thompson was a great guy, friendly and very approachable. His talent on the pitch was remarkable. We always had very large home crowds to watch those teams play. RIP Thompson

Thanks as always GAS for the Countdown. I appsolutely loved that cover of this classic as well.

One of my all time favorite Mountaineers. He sure could rebound with anyone too.

My dad was a Cardinals fan and he especially liked Bob Gibson. RIP to another great one.

My dad spent nearly four years in the South Pacific serving in a Destroyer squadron. He got his release to come home right before Christmas and spent one last Christmas on a ship.

I love history, and have studied it for most of my life. I have four great-great-granddad’s that were Confederate soldiers I hold no animosity against any of them. I’m sure they did what they felt they needed to do for their families. However, it’s been approximately 155 years and I wish we would qu...

My brother played at Lee’s-McRae at the same time and I remember going to a game in Boiling Springs and seeing him play there
