Not with a nice new facility to replace it

Take a ride down 219 through the country, plenty of great photos there. Also, heading north on 219 on a clear day on top of the hills you can see Buffalo in the distance. Its a really great shot

Always knew you had a thing for the cornhole

The reasons I stated San Antonio are because Dallas and Houston are both over 3 hours drive away. Yes UT and and A&M, heck even Baylor is close. However, San Antonio did a very good job hosting New Orleans while they were displaced. Also, San Antonio, being a military town has a lot of people from outside the area and from personal experience, I've not seen as much a die hard NFL fanship of any particular team. However, say one bad thing about the Spurs or Longhorns down there and prepare to be lynched. Texas in general did not get hit as hard as other parts of the country during the recession, in fact job opportunities and disposable income improved for the most part during that time period so the area could economically afford to pick up a team. Compare that to southern Cal that has been on the downslope even prior to the recession and you'll see the economics of putting something in LA makes no sense. Also we've seen in the past that Cal cannot support more than 3 teams. However, Texas, probably the biggest football state in the US, having only two and a growing populous would stand a better chance that possibly anywhere else in the US. Are there downsides? Yes of course, San Antonio/Bexar county would definitely need to build a new stadium to host a club. The Alamodome can suffice for a while, but its overall capacity is too low. Land is pretty pricey so getting a new stadium built would be pretty expensive. SA is a pretty spread out town so mass transit is a bit lacking as well, which would force many more fans to have to drive to the stadium so parking is a must and traffic patterns would have to be adjusted. All and all, its a large market that loves football and has shown the ability to support an NFL team which should make it an interesting choice.

Nobody likes a show off Chef

LA has tried and failed to support teams in the past, why try again? Other markets such as San Antonio, Portland, Las Vegas, Oklahoma City, or even international cities like Toronto stand a better chance of holding a team than LA.

heh...someone broke out the periodic table

Cheater!

I win again

If TSW is a supermarket, we've gone from Wegmans quality to Aldi over the past couple years

NHL is by far and away the best dedicated league network out there. MLB is pretty good too

Welcome to the world of the athlete. Never know when that knee is going to go. Blew mine up during walkon tryouts at WVU for baseball. Cost me the chance to play in Italy's pro league. Don't sweat it too much, even if he loses his senior season, he can still progress on the field and off the field. On the field, well, on the sidelines actually, get him to be his coaches shadow and have him watch everything he can. Seeing things from a different perspective is very helpful to an athlete's progression, plus as a team captain he still needs to be a leader for his team. Off the field, he'll have more time to work on those grades and prepare for college. Remember, colleges won't think twice to boot a player for grades so sooner or later he's going to have to get those grades up. Might as well start now. Also, make sure he doesn't try to rush his way back onto the field. He's still young and he'll mend a lot better than a college or pro athlete will, but he's got to stick to rehabbing properly for that to happen.

Far as I know, not anytime soon. TWC has been pretty adamant in their stance as has the NFL. However, TWC has been expanding their channels lately, especially in HD and NFL would be the only major sports network we don't have so anything is possible.

I win

Nice :lol:

Heh....Chef encourages it

You've never checked out a 16 year old before?

Just think, we miss the playoffs again and we'll have to pay to sit here

What are the odds of James Hardy's father at the next family gathering? What?

National guard isn't a bad idea. If I don't get a decent job by this fall, I'll be going air guard or USAF Reserve so I at least have some benefits and can get some more job experience on the side

I was never that big on Lankster at WVU. Made some good plays on D, but got beat a lot and was sometimes a liability as a returnman. However, I think a lot of his coverage issues were due to the 335 we play at WVU. I think the Cover 2 would be more his style. I'm going to wait and see how he does with pads on because he has never been known for his hitting ability.

Tell him welcome to the club. Can't get a job without experience, can't get experience without a job. No one in small town usa is hiring college grads when they can hire someone with less education for a cheaper price. I graduated in 2003 and I'm still looking for a full time gig to come through. My MBA will be done in December and so far all my education has gotten me is in debt.

BOOOO TECH......buncha turkeys

Maybe I should have gotten an Italian birth certificate instead?
