Cajuns vs App State Roll Call

[RaginDave]

Decided against taking the jet to the game because:
1) nowhere to land it in Boone
2) weather conditions

Guess I will just have to listen to Jay on the radio for this one.

I know you are being sarcastic, but but actually both Boone and Wilkesboro have airports, only allow private jets, but they do have airports.

[Hammer58]

If any of you have a chance to come for baseball, do it.

It's freaking beautiful here. It's cold (Wednesday hi 23, low 0, we'll hit 40 today though) but in late April you'll LOVE it.

There's a lot more in this town than you would think for a town of 15,000

Did you go check out Howard's Knob? It's supposed to be the big attraction up there.

Airport is pretty worthless if team and fans can't fly in there. Where did the team fly into and how long of a bus ride do they have to take?

Pretty sure the team flew into Charlotte.

[RaginDave]

I am sure they flew to Charlotte, it is roughly 2 hours from Charlotte or Greensboro to Boone.

hammer we all know how much you hate the fact that App State was added to this conference, but I will tell you, there is no better city in the Belt, outside of Lafayette then Boone, NC. It may be hard to travel to, but it is worth the travel.

My son, a recent App State grad will be there with a few of his friends. He's anxious to see the cajuns play. If I were still in NC, I'd be there too.

Then that's not saying much about the sunBelt.

I have family in Houston who have visited Texas State. They really like San Marcos.

[CajunEXPRESS]

How can y'all say such things. We got destination cities Jones Boro, Monroe, Troy.

Jay and I had a great talk last night, Hammer. You are underestimating how great of a place Boone, NC is. I dont know if you have ever visited there and I don't care. But you are missing out. It is a special place, in fact the wife and I have considered getting a condo or cabin up there as a second home. We will probably wait until the kids are older to do so, but you are truly missing out on one of the treasures of the Appalacian's if you don't make one road trip to Boone.

In fact, the baseball trip in April would be a great time to do so. The weather in April in Boone is fantastic. Great food, great sights and great people too.

FYI, big win for the Cajuns last night and I enjoyed the heck out of it and as long as the Cajuns are in this conference, I will spend many a Cajun road trip in Boone, NC.

He's right, Boone is just one of those places where you know its special the minute you hit town. Have made many a trip there for App.State stuff with 2 kids there for school. Hey Dave, maybe Hammer should take a walk across the "swinging bridge" on Grandfather for a different view of the area.....
