That's pretty cool. UNC Wilmington has a top marine biology program as well. I believe it is on of the top 5 or 10 in the country.

Currently: 2001 Nissan Xterra. Dream or possible repalcement: Nissan Titan. This depends on wether or not I ever get a bigger boat. If I keep my 16 ft. jon boat then I will get a Toyota Tacoma in 2 wheel drvie. I really do not have a need for a 4X4. It rarely snow and it cost for 40 dollars a year to drive on the beach now that they have turned them into tourist spots, ie parks.

That's cool, my misunderstanding. I appoligize if I sounded brash or anything. I could not see Hyundai getting into Nascar. I do not think they have the funds to do so. I could however see Honda or maybe Nissan getting into it. Honda especially, they have the racing technology already in place, ie Formula One and Indy Car. Nascar is not the same as it was 10 to 15 years ago. It is definately not the same Southern based outfit that it was when Richard Petty, Daryl Waltrip or Cale Yarborough was racing. I [ersonlly think that it has become to comercialized. I like the Bucsh, or the Nationwide,cars better. These guys seem like they have more of a hunger than the Cup cars.

That could easily happen someday. I am not sure if you were poking fun at Toyota or not, but the Toyota's are more Amercan made than most of Detroits Cars.

Yea, too bad they are not playing a Division II team. As was stated before Applachian State is Division I Subdivision, or Div. I AA. Also do not take them lightly, anything is possible. They have confidence now after winning at one of football holy grails, and that is half of the battle. Also, at least they won their National Championships in a playoff rather tha being voted into the title game.

I was big Dale senior fan but, not so much a Jr. fan. I saw where he took Tony Eury, Jr. to Hendrick racing wih him. These teams better look out for Toyota this year, especially now that they have Gibbs racing onboard. Toyota has alot of money to throw into this sport.

Lita Ford rocked in the 80's, I saw her in Concert in 1988, I was 15. At the time I was into metal scene big time, and Lita was a rock goddess. Some other great guitar palyers are: Joe Santriani Mark Knopler of Dire Straits And on the country side Vince Gill and Roy Clark.

As a long time Skins fan, I am sick of the coaching caurosel in Wahington. I think, no I am sure that I will no longer support them. It's all Carolina Panthers. They may stink, but at least we can keep a coach longer than a year.

X2. However, I'm too busy gearing up for fishing season. X3. I am too busy watching UNC chase another National Basketball Title. Trying to get some fishing in before next week. Looks like I am going to be laid up for 12 weeks rehabing from spinal cord surgery.

Applachian State is not Divsion II, they are Division I Championship Series, formally known in football as Division IAA; however they have a great fotball progrma for the size of their school. They should not be taken litely.

Nice Truck, When my Xterra finally dies which will not be for along time hopefully I am going to try to find a two or three old Titan. I will never buy a brand new car again. They depreciate too quick. My Nissan should last another 4 or 5 years ; it only has 94,000 miles on it. My uncle got 150-250,000 miles on both of his Nissans. I just paid off my Honda Passport, my mother in law drives it and the Nissan will be paid off in June; I expect my wife's Camaro to die within the next year, when it does I think we are going to buy a Toyota Corrola or a Camry.

Understandable. So, sorry to hear your tumor has returned. Yes, its just a game. Somethings are more important than basketball. Please let me know if you or your family need anything while you are here. We will do our best to help anyway we can. We are about 20-30 mins from the hospital - on the other side of Chapel Hill. I work 5-10 mins from the hospital south down 15-501. Let me know if we can help. In the mean tine, will lift you up in prayer. Thank You ejtaylor, It's nice to know that there are people that will lend a helping hand. Frogtog, There is nothing wrong with State as a school, I just do not classify them on the same level as Duke and Carolina. Great engineering school though.

I am a big Carolina fan, and in the past I would have made fun of Duke and talked about my dislike of the Blue Devils. However I had major spinal surgery to remove a tumor in August of 2006 at Duke and I found out yesterday that I am going to have more surgery because the tumor is back. So I have sort a split allegiance going on right now. I am Carolina at heart but I owe alot to Duke University and I think they are great team that deserves alot of respect. More than I can say for NC State. TS

My grandfahter had a Ted Williams surf rod that I used as kid, that was the best surf rod. I finally had to throw it out 5-6 years ago. All the eyes were shot and the cork split. Great rod though, it took alot of abuse being hauled in a john boat and use in the surf. TS

I agree

Sam, I am not trying to be smart about this or sarcatic about this, however maybe this these talented guys that are academically ineligible should have paid more attention in school and out more effort into being a student first, then an athelte instead of vice versa. Just my opinion, T

Troutfisher, That is a pretty cool thing to be able to do. When or loose you will never forget meeting those cadidates. I still remember when I was a senoir in high school, 1990-1991 school year, Vice President Dab Qauyle came to my high school to hold a campaign rally for then senator Jesse Helms. I was able to go to that rally and I still remember that night 18 years later. TS.

I agree that Bellicheck set a bad example for kids, and sportsmanship:,however, kids should not be looking to pro atheletes as role models anyway, they shuold be looking at their parents as role models. Especially considering most pro atheltes are overpayed street thugs. Pacman Jones and Michael Vick among others prove this point.

I have an old Garcia Mitchell 306, and an old Penn 9 with the yellow torpedo style handle knob

Isn't that him with the keys to the Caddy? MVP Yes, I said for 1 night he was dynamic. But one MVP performance does not make up for three years of being a sub-par QB. Look at Doug Williams, he destroyed Denver in Super Bowl XXII, and was MVP but for most of his career he was subpar. Were you asleep during the playoffs? : No I was not Burley. I just do not think he is that good of a QB. If his brother was not already in the league and his daddy been a great player he would have never been drafted so high. Did he win any championships at Ole Miss, no. Only time will tell if tonight was fluke or he becomes a great QB. Burley beat me to it....I was going to ask if you happened to have your eyes open during the playoffs..... I guess not, I tend not to pay attention to overrated players on teams that I do not like. And unless you did not read my previous posts. I gave my congrats to New York and it fans. TS

That stinks, back in the fall one of the local marina's had three Sportfishing boats tolen in a month. All of them were run aground at the mouth of the creek in the intercoastal waterway. One boat sustained over 10 grand in motor damage. TS

I agree TS

I not hating, nor am I mad. I just don't like either one of them. As I have sad Peyton was the greatest QB at Tennessee, to have never beaten Florida and Eli rode in on his coat tails. It's all good, you have your opinion and I have mine. No hard feelings either way. TS

I hate to say it but that showed little class. TS It's Sourpuss and New England...you expect class? ;D Well, You have a point on that one. I am not by no means a New England fan, I can just appreciate the effort to go undefeated. That does not happen very often. However if you loose, do it with dignity.
