To clarify though, my point wasn’t that I think we’re gonna be great on defense (better but probably not great) but rather I think WVU offense is overrated.

Grier threw 1.8 interceptions per completed game in 2017 and against marginal defenses. idk. I have to see the improvement to believe it

every mid sized metro area is going thru the same things. i've been in Charlotte for 20 years, and when i moved here, it was exactly how you described Portland. clean down town area, traffic wasn't bad etc....

and as more and more people move out of the huge metro areas and more and more companies move headquarters or larger facilities in to those areas for lower costs/tax advantages, populations rises, infrastructure must change, and you go thru those growing pains.

good news, property values are soaring right now, so i'm happy about that. ;)

My wife and I are feeling a yearning to move back to the East Coast, and are heading that way soon to check out some places (and to play some golf in Pawley's Island). We both grew up in Atlanta and have family there, but I won't move back there. We are checking out some places in NC (Asheville, Raleigh, Greenville, etc..) as we haven't been to those places in 20 years. I lived in Raleigh for a couple of years in the late 90's and traffic was bad then. but I like Raleigh a lot and they have great jobs there in my field. Asheville has the size, climate and the cool vibe we are looking for but housing prices are pretty high. But Asheville is within driving distance to Neyland for games. Not so sure about Greenville, it wasn't considered a great place when I lived in Atlanta back in the 90's.

They're doing exactly what I would do. "Investigate" for a few weeks and the media will find another situation to jump all over. Then they quietly reinstate him. Sadly, most of these scandals can just be waited out as another is right around the corner.

I'm looking to get back to Jacksonville. the city size fits us as does the climate.

I wonder how big of an impact this will have on the title IX investigation at the end of the day. If you're under a microscope for it and still sweep these issues under a rug, you deserve to be bankrupt.

It's probably going to come down to legal hair-splitting. Did he report as required under OSU's policy and was he-- or his wife--legally required to do anything more? I'm sure they have a team of legal experts scrutinizing every word, action and innuendo, while looking for plausible ways to keep him-- assuming he wants to be kept, instead of being paid a hefty sum to "retire."

We have a lot of people moving up here from California, but other places also (Texas, Nevada, Montana). Most be the legal Pot. But housing and overall cost of living is becoming insane. Portland's city government is a mess, downtown is a nasty and they keep building apartment and condo's everywhere. They are basically driving out families (on purpose) and turning Portland into a smaller version of San Francisco. It's sad really, I loved Portland when I move here. It was clean, people were very nice, almost no traffic and it had a easy going vibe. It's none of those things anymore.

My daughter and her family live in Portland. They live in a really nice area and have a weekend home at Cannon Beach which they use and really get their monies worth.
Your traffic is indeed a challenge and the fact that across the river you find yourself in Washington state, they tell me the separate governments aren't even remotely close to addressing the traffic issues. Parts of downtown are pretty nice but other parts are, as you say, dirty. More homeless than we're accustomed to, but we've seen that problem pretty much everywhere we've traveled on the West Coast. It baffles me how that problem appears to be completely ignored...we've witnessed it in San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and even when we were in Victoria, British Columbia, last year.

From what we've seen, the liberalism has completely run amok...but I'm flirting too closely with politics.

Greenville is pretty cool. some friends of ours had a wedding down there a couple years ago, and we did the pre wedding stuff downtown. i thought it was nice. nicer than i originally thought it was. but it's growing a lot, and seems like I85 is under construction from Norcross to Charlotte these days.

Asheville is really nice, but you're right it's pricey. not a fan of Raleigh. Charlotte is still small enough that you can get around town just about anywhere in about a 1/2 hour or less. and down town is still very nice. lots of nice restaurants, bars, shopping. and with the new baseball stadium for the Knights, it's a pretty cool scene.

i'll put it this way, unless i'm moving to the coast, i have no intention on leaving.

Saban and Meyer are the only two coaches that could survive this IMO. If OSU does end up firing him, I think he'll be hired again in short order by someone. All he does is win.

We're heading out in a few weeks, going to spend most of our time there. Really looking forward to it.

Going to be nice escaping South Florida's heat & humidity, even if it's only a week.

We used to go the Cannon Beach a lot, but traffic getting there is insane now and it's pretty run over. There are some pretty cool, smaller beaches that haven't been run over yet. Manzanita is one of my favorites, but it's starting to get run over too.

It's really nice.

We're going to be there on the opening weekend of the season. Love the time difference out there for sports...great to get up in the morning and a game is about to come on.

The fact that he reported it, if true, makes it worse. So he reported but didn't discipline Smith or fire him until mcmurphy broke the story 3 years later means that he was still negligent in this. If it was enough to fire Smith now, then he should have been fired in 2015. So urb claiming he reported it then per policy means his report and the schools policy was basically a farce and both should be punished.
