    And, thank you for posting Alpha. I wish this site would rise from the ashes.

    GO PACK!!!
    Brings back fading memories of 74, but especially ‘83. I was at State from ‘76 through ‘82. But I made it back to Raleigh for the game against Houston.
    Just WOW…

    Folks gradually moved over to PackPride after the arguing here rose to a very aggravating level. Sort of like some of the threads on PP now.

    I only went to a couple of the threads on the brickyard for that reason.

    Well I’ll be. I remembered my password.
    The Brickyard at Pack pride isn’t working, only VIP mode right now.

    go pack, in small letters.
    Might even go to the belk bowl in a couple of weeks. Haven’t decided yet.

    Wish this site would arise from the ashes…

    I never perused packfansnation. After reading your post, I made the attempt, but apparently you have to make an account to see anything. Not happening.

    Nope, it’s still the same old pissing match between rational people and irrational dumbasses. There’s a couple of threads that I read occasionally. One about covid lockdown jokes, and one about “I learned something new today”. So far the pissing and moaning haven’t reached those threads yet.

    With the appointment of the new czar of misinfo, real news may be hard to come by.

    I would make some snarky comment on the Vichy president, but it would probably attract moths to the flame from the other site.

    Packfanweb, maybe you should start a motorboat thread here. With less clothes.

    That’s a powerful way to remember the fallen. Thank you.
    I spent a good part of the afternoon tidying up my Dad’s grave (and Mom’s and uncles’).
    It’s a peaceful cemetery out in the country. No noise, nice breeze, and overlooking grain fields and forests. A good place to remember and appreciate the deeds of the fallen.
    Dad was a P-51 pilot in the European theatre. He lost several good friends, but did return to have a family and live a long life.

    Tex, we machine the blades that shear rebar to length for steel mills at my machine shop. Big serrated mammer-jammers.
    Anybody need machine shop work done, let me know. BSME’83

    The 16oz ribeye at Grandma Hoyt’s in Bessemer City is awful good. Only available Thurs, Fri and Sat.

    Being from East campus, we ate at Sadlack’s a bit. The John Hill’s Delight and the Dr. Frank’s Special were good sandwiches.

    I guess Sadlack’s is no more?

    Being from rural Stanly County, we never had any type of “ethnic” food. I remember the first bagel I ever saw was laying in the hall. I thought it was some kind of donut. It was hard as a rock and we played hockey with it for days until someone stomped it.

    Double-R Bar was a good alcohol absorber.

    Sacrilege! Only men with scars worked there late 70’s early 80’s. Do they still use the chute that you slide your order down?

    Yeah, but it was hard to beat back then at 3am. The only time I saw Jimmy V up close and spoke was at CharGrill around that time of morning.

    … and the rumbling low frequency chant vibrated through the hall at 3am…. “char-grill, char-grill, char-grill…

    Is it still there?

    He probably said something like “Swap two T’s for an S, and it’ll be a pretty good description”.

    GO Pack!
