Re: Realistic coaching options for 2025...
My only source told me the new coach would be Taylor Swift. But I don't think I should really consider my 10 year old daughter a source, so I've got nothing. If Taylor Swift was the new coach recruiting and NIL money would not be a problem. And I would never attend another game. Me either at $1000....

Re: The Platters
I remember seeing Firefall sometime around 1978 or 1979. I'm thinking there was a second band that played that same night but can't remember the name.

Re: Say "So Long" to the ACC
But it was found on the Internet and written with actual words, so it must be true.

Re: Clark: "We can't live in the transfer portal"
I agree, we need to meet the needs of the players committed to App first and then address the needs with the transfer portal. I t is sort of like changing spouses, you may think you are getting a better deal, but in the end it is cheaper to stay with what you have. If you notice all the players tha...

Re: TAMU Yell Practice
Here's the whole Midnight Yell Practice. The two overall guys with white shirts marched from the 50 to opposite goal lines and back for 30 minutes before it started and then did the worst pushups I've ever seen for like 5 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6Bxp5JSiII&t That A&M crowd is a sh...

Yes, I've noticed the same thing. Not sure this is an area where we want to cut corners and settle for low-production values.

Re: 4 February 1977-Fleetwood Mac Rumours
Agree on both accounts. Might add “Boston” and “Recollection” and “The Best of Foreigner” in there. Maybe Tejas. I wasn't a ZZ Top fan but loved Boston and Foreigner. Saw both in concert in Greensboro in the early 80s. That Foreigner/Kansas concert made the AP wire because some idiot set off a tear...

Re: App Professor just wants to be paid as much as a Dominos driver
I should have read the entire article. He does reference the lack of funding by the legislature and how it has gotten worse. We gotta step up our quality of leaders. Starting at the top Absolutely agree. Actions by legislative leaders like Mark Robinson, Tim Moore and others are eroding the quality...

Re: Rushing the field this year
NC State fans rushed the field after beating a 6 win UNC team they were expected to beat. Happened after the article was written, but I’d rank that as last. I'll definitely give NC State fans a pass on that. First, it's the Wolfpack's #1 rival. Second, what an ending! I'll confess I turned it off w...

Re: Berger plans to merge UNC system with NC Community Colleges
The Republican-controlled legislature has worked diligently over the past decade or more to reduce the influence of the UNC system and its member institutions. These plans are just another move toward that end. Long-term, the hope is to purge leadership and eventually faculty who support and teach d...

Sorry to see that Rick Bonnell, Hornets/NBA beat writer since 1988 for The Charlotte Observer, passed away unexpectedly earlier in the week. I always appreciated the thoughtfulness and fairness of his work. In recent years I occasionally caught him on WFNZ or 730 The Game in Charlotte. He was as ded...

There used to be a map store there back in the 90s it seems. I purchased a map there and they still owe me that map. Never got delivered. I am beginning to think I may never get that map now.

Re: Tony Petersen stats at previous jobs
I was skeptical of this hire. I still am, but before we resign the fact that this is a definite trend here at App, let remember this years challenges. 1) new staff. This is this staff’s first year together. 2) COVID.- this ties in to #1, interruptions or shortened spring and fall camps due to COVID...
