Done plenty of events in Charlotte before. Nice city. I'm only used to towns though.

But seriously, I think I stayed pretty close to the football stadium, I can't remember the restaurant I ate at. Gourmet burgers and tots place.

But even when we were downtown, I saw some Vanderbilt stuff in the stores. I thought downtown was more pro sports and music than college sports, period. I would think that if Nashville were more pro-UT, then it would try harder to host more Volunteer games at the NFL stadium there.

I would agree with the others... there is more UT support in Nashville than there is Vandy, although there is definitely a Vandy current there too. And I agree with you that pro-sports have eclipsed college sports in Nashville.

The school was founded to educate WVians to educate other WVians. I know you were being clever but Marshall is mostly applicable career training rather than liberal arts and being in college for the sake of being in college. They're pretty good at it considering they've been doing it for almost 200 years.

Programs we've added in the last 30 years almost exclusively end in a profession like the med school, pharmacy, forensics, engineering, etc, and they're about to open a phd program for nursing. We've just never offered enough PhD programs to move up in ranking till recently, but that doesn't mean the ones we have are not top notch.

Rileylives, the next time you have to do some travel around the country for your job, I’d like to recommend you visit Dothan & Troy. There’s not too many good places to eat at around Troy, IMO, but if you make the trek to Dothan, there are several. It’s ridiculous how many places we have to eat for the size of Dothan’s population. If you do eat in Troy, try the Santa Fe Cattle Company. I’ve heard it’s very nice. I believe that they do some coaches’ shows from there as well. You will find several people who will let you know that there are more than 2 teams from the state of Alabama.

clt says it is sad that the Dothan hooters closed.
