Eating and shopping is ALL Bristol has.
Leg up. Sport one meself.
Damn, you guys. Throw a football game and a food fest breaks out!! Sounds like a week just to hit the culinary high spots of Bristol.
And please, y'all, don't forget to tip your bartenders!
Yeah, I don't think even professional courtesy extends that far.
The sudo Moto, or the pseudo Moto?
the name of my entry is Chris if you check the leaderboard might have had a really really good one if I hadn't been so anti Clemson hahaha.
That's the thing, but I won't give up on him either. Some guys it does take just a little longer. I see the talent, and I see the desire, but I agree that it is a mental thing at this point for him. I really hope he continues to improve and doesn't just truncate his participation because of the plateauing of his development. Besides that, I like his hair. He needs to live up to that hair, and I'm rootin' for him.
That would be me, I used my dad's old account for ease of use.
edit: To be completely honest I had completely forgotten about this until I saw the thread bumped.
Best potato soup in the world!
Football talent in Miami has been fleeing to UF, FSU, Bama etc. in recent years, even with the U right in their backyard. I don't think location is unimportant, but I also don't think it is everything. Recruits want to go where they feel like they can be in a successful system, showcase their talents, win, and hopefully get a shot at the NFL. Miami has been a dumpster fire for a while now and a complete coaching whirlwind. But I expect Richt will start to change the culture there.
Clemson is just as remotely located in SC as we are in VA. They are relatively close to Atlanta (still 2ish hrs), but being located in the middle of nowhere SC hasn't really stopped top recruits from VA, NC, SC, GA, and FL from coming. Auburn and Penn State are also fairly remote. Butch Jones has been killing it on the recruiting trail, and Knoxville is really near nothing in terms of a recruiting hotbed. If you're a top offensive recruit, why wouldn't you be excited playing in Clemson's offense? Dabo has done a great job with hiring excellent assistants and establishing a strong offensive and defensive identity. If we can show recruits we are equally serious about offense and defense in the Fuente regime, I think VT will once again be seen by recruits as a place where you can win a championship. It will be interesting to see how he can devote more resources and place a higher emphasis on recruiting going forward.

Garbage Fries!
Can't forget Allison's in Abingdon, either.
I want to support Shane, but he's become a rival, and rivals cannot be tolerated....
Still waiting to hear on our top corner and "backup RB". Sutton graded as a 3rd round pick and Kamara as a 5th round, but as of right now they may both return.

Great job Todd Davidson, whoever you may be!
Bristol Brewery isn't that great. The seating is terrible. Holston River is the best in the area I believe. Very nice set up and great beer. I go there every Saturday night after work. There is also a really good bar in Bristol called O'mainnin's pub that has cheap drinks downtown. Only downside is it is a smokers bar.
If you are staying in Abingdon, The Tavern for a nice dinner is a must visit (the oldest bar west of the Blue Ridge), and ChikNLittle has the best breakfast and home made pies around.
tall guys have a harder time starting stopping cutting etc
he did look good on the TD in the independence bowl... had no idea he was that tall on that play
Step 1: Make the drive to Kingsport. (~25 mins)
Step 2: Eat at the Purple Cow.


How about a must play golf course Friday before the game?
