Yes, but there are 8 stop lights at that one intersection! I've seen it for myself.

I threw together some non-GPS landmark-type directions on another thread for y'all....

I knew he was thinking Shelby, but Boiling Springs is awful proud of the one light by golly.

Oh, one other thing.....when you drive into Boiling Springs and see the speed limit drop all of a sudden.....follow it.....the BS police love nailing out of staters not familiar with the area.....

I don't know if its a coaching thing or a strength and conditioning thing. or they just don't know how to finish a season. I don't know.
Honestly, I think it is more of a "we don't have enough quality players on the 2 deep roster to finish when some of our stars get hurt" thing. As some of our starters have been sidelined by injures, we just don't have the kind of player we need in the 3 spot to step up and produce. I do believe GW is recruiting better now than they have in recent years and this should improve.

First off it will be a great game saturday. Secondly I was watching the Coastal vs GW game and I saw a few GW players on a golf cart after the game and they looked to be injured.. Any GW fans have any knowledge of who that was or could be.. i didnt see any major injuries while i was watching the game but just saw it in post game..

thanks in advance.

Thanks Sly. I'm reasonably new to photography [actually a recent returner to photography]. I shoot with a Nikon D-90 and a Sigma 70-200 f2.8 lens. The pros on the sidelines look at me kind of funny, but I enjoy myself. I post these pics on my facebook site and it is viewable by anyone. The team has a good time tagging the pics up after the game. I even got some CCU players tagging pics after last week's game.

Go Runnin' Bulldogs!

Night is tougher, but GW has pretty decent lighting.

Here's GW vs. Southern Virginia

And you can compare that image to one shot at the local high school game with crappy lighting.

Of course, if you want a faster lens than this one, you're talking about paying a good used car for that glass :cry:

Great GPI and Playoff breakdown Chris:
- Liberty jumped to No. 21 in the GPI this week, a key indicator of a team’s position in terms of earning an at-large berth in the FCS playoffs. A closer look at the teams ahead of Liberty reveals:

12. Jacksonville State—ineligible for the playoffs
13. Eastern Washington—must win its final two games (at Southern Utah, at Northern Arizona) to reach seven DI wins.
14. Delaware—must beat Navy and Villanova to reach seven DI wins.
16. Weber State—must beat Northern Arizona and Cal Poly to reach seven DI wins.
18. James Madison—cannot reach seven DI wins.
t19. Northern Arizona—must beat Weber State and Eastern Washington to reach seven DI wins, would be a great test case for a 7-4 team if it wins out

Of those six teams, only one will be in a position to compete with a 9-2 Liberty at season’s end if the Flames can win their last two games. And don’t forget Montana State, which is lurking at No. 23 and can get to 8-3 by winning out against a suddenly surging Sacramento State team and arch-rival Montana.

Fresh off their fifth-straight victory and pushing their record to 7-2 overall this season, the Flames now begin the final home stretch of their 2009 schedule with a pair of road games, which will determine the fate of this year’s Big South championship.

Liberty will begin the pivotal two-game road stretch when the Flames travel to Boiling Springs, N.C., this weekend to face Gardner-Webb.

No. 16 Liberty begins a two-game road swing to finish off its 2009 regular season slate when the Flames travel to Boiling Springs, N.C., to face Gardner-Webb in a pivotal Big South contest. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:30 p.m., inside Spangler Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Bulldogs, who come into the game after dropping back-to-back league contests, are out of the race for this year’s title, but homestanding Gardner-Webb can still spoil the Flames charge toward a third-straight championship.

With the Big South Conf. Soccer tournament being moved from High Point to Gardner-Webb this weekend, what are the chances that our soccer team will make it to our football game? I think it would be really cool of Alder allowed them to go!
