Man, that must really be cool for those high school kids. Regarding your question, no, we play at Tennessee Tech in Cookeville, as far as I know. Relatively central location. Back home in NC, we would play either at UNC or Duke, which were also central locations (or at least as close as we could manage not having any other halfway decent-sized stadium in between. I have a feeling UNC-Charlotte will eventually host now that they have a fball program.

I've noticed the Heels being one of your favorite teams. I grew up in NC (just outside Charlotte). We moved to Chattanooga when I was going into high school (the summer before the Panthers started playing).

A fellow nerd!
I believe you were also posting about Ender's Game a few weeks back too, right? Big fan here

I'm just finishing xenocide. I read enders game a while ago but never read speaker of the dead till now. I liked it even better than enders game, if you haven't read it. Xenocide has been equally amazing.

I like the challenge. I want to take down Ghana in the first game. Shut down Ronaldo in the 2nd game, and hopefully the 3rd game won't matter for Germany.

That would be ideal. We should beat Ghana, but they've had our number recently. We can out-tough Ronaldo, and we already beat Germany's B squad earlier this year.

Or Ghana will stay hot against us, Ronaldo will do what he's capable of doing, and Germany will drop one early they shouldn't have and play all their starters.

It makes me nervous, but there will be a lot of good soccer in our group.

Yeah I can't imagine how cool that would be, I can't believe they don't play in Neyland.

Speaking of saban, here is a Texas joke --

Man from Texas was up visiting his cousin in Tennessee. And they were out for a drive along a country road. And across the road runs a deer.

Texas: "what was that?"
Tennessee: "that was a deer"
Texas: "you serious, man? In Texas, deer are waaaay bigger."

Tennessee man says nothing and keeps driving. They get on down the road apiece. And across the road slithers a rattlesnake.

Texas: "whoa what was that?"
Tennessee: "that was a rattler"
Texas: "no way dude. Snakes in Texas are so much bigger than that."

Tennessee man glares at his Texas cousin but keeps on driving. And a few minutes later
across the road crawls a decent-sized turtle.

Texas: "ha. What was THAT?"
Tennessee: " a tick"

Coming from someone who has lots of family in Texas, that is probably a true story and not a joke. Never seen a bunch of people more full of themselves.

Yep. I always was an inner nerd. I fully embraced it after I read LOTR.

I'm currently reading The Wheel of Time series.

Just started The Great Hunt. I'm loving the series so far. I just finished what's been released of the Game of Thrones books, and a good friend told me if I liked those I would love Wheel of Time.

Jordan's first few in that series are great...but dang I just gave up after the first 5-6 books. When a book spans a day...I mean come on! I have tapered off of the Fantasy genre and started reading WarHammer 40K... :good!:
