I'm with you on basketball and car racing - but what do you have against the Blue Jackets? Is it that the Whale almost became the Blue Jackets before they became the Canes or is it the whole over-expansion thing? Hey now!

Bluefield makes Raleigh look like NOTHING in that regard. When it comes to basketball, I like the college variety...of course it helps that I grew up a fan of UNC AND was named after "Carolina". And I can totally relate to Bryant (I'm only an hour away from Bristol) AND you, Camille, on being one of only four or five hockey fans in a region where the big sports are the aforementioned NASCAR and, at least in Bluefield's case, high school football. Hell, you wanna know how huge HS football is around here? The biggest sports highlight show in the region consists of practically nothing but HS football clips. That's it. When I saw the ad for that sucker a week or two ago, I said out loud to myself... "What a JOKE!! If you're going call your show a sports one, you gotta have more than FREAKIN' HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL!!!" And at risk of sounding ignorant, what is the big-butt appeal of HS football anyway? When my family and I went to K&W Cafeteria at the nearby mall this past Friday, I swear we were the only ones in line not going to "the big game at Graham High". Oh well...I know my family and I can't be the only ones. At least, I hope we're not...at least everyone in Bluefield likes one of my two favorite NFL teams in the Steelers (the other being the Panthers). Anyhoo, sign moi up for the lynching.

I have lived in NE Tennessee for almost eight years now. I am sufficiently close to Bristol, TN to be irritated by the NASCAR fans that drive 33.5 MPH on the interstate (55-70 MPH speed limits). My wife was born in Elizabethton, TN and feels the same way too. I wasn't even a fan of sports at all until she introduced me to hockey. We both love hockey, despise racing and basketball in general, and are bored to tears with baseball. She hates football and I could take it or leave it myself. There just isn't another sport that compares to hockey. And calling NASCAR a sport is stretching it. Ooooo, it gets hot in those cars and they get dehydrated; oh nooooo. So, do I get an invite to the lynchin'? ;) I second the motion. I have lived in NE Tennessee for almost eight years now.
