416.1The Bucs to role in 90RAVEN1::D_SMITHThu Nov 15 1990 08:417
    They are called the Buccaneers.  You can give me a seat on the
    Buccaneer wagon and hopefully it will be a smooth ride.

    Count me in!  But only if you can tell me before Thanksgiving where
    the heck East Tennessee State is located.

416.3Probably so far East it's in New Jersey!WORDY::NAZZAROCannibals aren't picky eaters!Thu Nov 15 1990 09:513
    And please, no wise-ass "It's in East Tennessee" answers.
    
    Thank you.
416.5Never been there but...SHALOT::MEDVIDtry me on, I'm very youThu Nov 15 1990 09:5612
    ETSU is in Johnson City.  A small mountain town that is dominated by a
    Texas Instruments plant.  Traffic jams in this town are considered to
    be when three or more cars get backed up at THE redlight.  No bull.  I
    work with a guy who did a co-op there and people would really complain
    about this.
    
    My favorite bar band, Brian and the Nightmares, is also from Johnson
    City.
    
    Closest "big" city is Bristol.

416.6Not that smallRAVEN1::D_SMITHThu Nov 15 1990 10:5710
    
    
    Johnson City is an hour east of Knoxville with a population of 47,000+.
    I am from the "big" city of Bristol, which has less people than JC if
    you only count the Tennessee side of town(State line of Tenn./Vir.
    runs down the middle of the main street in town).

    Ah yes, Buccaneers, reminds me of my youth.
    One halloween I went as a Pirate and at the first house, a lady
    exclaims, "My, what a cute little pirate, but where are your
    Buccaneers???
    
    To which I replies,
    
    Under me Buckin' hat, twit!!!!!!!!!!
    
    
416.8Solid UNC connection with ETSURHETT::KNORRCarolina BlueThu Nov 15 1990 20:288
    With a Carolina element on this team (ass't coach Jeff Lebo) it goes
    without saying I'm on the bandwagon.  I was on it last year too when
    Buzz Peterson was Robinson's assistant.
    
    Go Bucs!

416.9Why?RAVEN1::B_ADAMSIt's about time!Thu Nov 15 1990 20:546
    
    
    	The ONLY reason I pull for ETSU is because they play in the tiny
    Southern Conference!

416.10Coaching help needed!!!!RAVEN1::M_PHILLIPSFlirting With DisasterFri Nov 16 1990 00:529
    Do any of you guys know the whole coaching staff there??? My high
    school basketball coach went there after he lead us to one 24-2 and a
    21-4 season. Something tells me it was Middle-Tennesse and not East
    Tennessee that he went to, but I'm not sure. Any help would be greatly
    appreciated. His name is Phil Hopkins.
    
     Thanks in advance!!!!

416.11Oh no!SHALOT::MEDVIDtry me on, I'm very youFri Nov 16 1990 09:559
    OK, now that ACChris is on this bandwagon giving UNC credit, feel free
    to jump off screaming.  No one will blame you.
    
    Just don't give Knorr the reigns or else we'll drive right off a cliff
    after some excellent losses.

416.12Use him as a brake? ;-)WORDY::NAZZAROCannibals aren't picky eaters!Fri Nov 16 1990 12:463
    Can we put ACC_Chris UNDER the bandwagon?

416.14Let's Go Bucs!SHALOT::MEDVIDIf I could be God tonight...Mon Nov 19 1990 11:309
    Anyone know what the final score of the ETSU Arkansas game was?  I
    watched most of it but missed the end.  ETSU was up by 10 at one point,
    but MayDay brought Arkansas storming back and then the pigs were ahead
    by 10.  ETSU looked like they didn't know what hit them.
    
    I'm still riding this bandwagon, though.

416.15Razorbacks and Cats in the finalMPP6::CHILDSYou talking to me?Mon Nov 19 1990 12:0010
 Small nit Dan-l but ETSU played Arizona. Don't quite recall the final but
 it was around 90 for the Wildcats and 80 for ETSU...

 Wednesday matchup should be a good one Arkansas against Duke. Not sure who
 'Zona plays....

 look for Hurley to crack under the pressure...

> Small nit Dan-l but ETSU played Arizona. 
    
    Wow, was I that drunk?  I was watching it in a bar at about 12:30 AM.  I
    wasn't sure if it was a replay or live action.  All I know is that I
    was trying to settle my gurggling stomaching and beer-clogged brain by
    drinking white russians.  That's my old Pittsburgh remedy, but it does
    have it's side-effects...like not being able to remember crap.
    
    You guys are lucky I'm only riding this bandwagon and not driving it!

    For those of you on the wagon (har har), our boys are 4-1 and received
    92 votes in the latest AP poll.  A few more wins and they'll be in the
    top 25.
    
    Go Bucs!

416.20Bad news for the (what's their nickname again?)WORDY::NAZZAROA Johnny Most fan for 30 yearsTue Dec 18 1990 14:384
    Did I read somewhere that ETSU's center is out for the year with
    some sort of grievous injury?  Think it was in Sporting News.
