Disturber Article

Unread post by MAD Doctor » Wed Feb 21, 2018 1:59 pm

Not sure if this article or topic appeared elsewhere on the board, but it's pretty typical for the Disturber. They'll bury our football conference championship on page 8D, but let anything negative or the least bit embarrassing happen and they're on it like it was Pearl Harbor. Kudos to the Zaxby's owner, who got the last word.

I will do you one better and not even click the link lest they get some ad revenue. That same story is available elsewhere.

I was not offended by the article. I was actually amused by it. I thought Zaxbys and the University handled the situation well.

Kudos to Ms. Goode. The next time I'm in Boone I'm eating at Zaxby's.

Headline should have been "College basketball chicken promotion nearly runs a-fowl in NC mountain town

I went on Sunday evening to claim sandwiches with our tickets. The staff were great and were definitely serving students that weren't at the game. Word had spread through student body and a lot of people were there. Most were buying a side or drink, but a few were not and they were all treated great. It was a little slower than usual, but moved great for the crowd that was there...I guess since everyone was ordering the same thing.

This promo consistently got the loudest crowd involvement of the year, especially after a first free throw miss by the opponent.

I'm more concerned with why the headline is North Carolina mountain town and not just of the town. Is the readership that unaware of the location of Boone?

At first I thought they were going to say live chickens started running wild.
