yoranguavol and TNTIM, and you fellows from salem and Roanoke, where do you watch games? TNTim, I hang out at BT's and Sharkey's quite a bit, decent places to watch, especially Sharkey's. We all need to get a group viewing together for a game or two, maybe here in Radford or Roanoke. If any of you have facebooks or anything like that add me.

I lived in Dublin for a short time. I was there this morning dropping the car off for the yearly inspection mugging. :D If you looked outside around 9am you might have seen me running down old route 11 in my bright orange shirt and camelbak.

Sharkey's isn't bad at all, especially when the Radford kids aren't in town. I work a ton of Saturday's, but you never know when you're going to come down with a case of Big Orange Fever.

We are in Union Hall but come up to the 'noke all the time. Would be willing to meet up with fellow Vols to watch the Big Orange.

Currently in Roanoke, VA. Would love to watch games at some bars with some fellow Vols. Too many damn Hokies around these parts.

My wife is from Wise, VA (Duncap Gap). Her family use to call me city boy when we first started dating, because I was from Johnson City, and say they were nothing but Mountain Folk. This was despite the fact I am originally from the mountains of NC. Now that we live in Knoxville they will not visit us, because they think the traffic is insane.

That said what a major drug problem in SWVA. Some of the things I seen visiting the area could be out of a movie (especially back in my 20's). Everyone of her nieces and nephews had either had a drug or baby problem before they were even adults. I know it happens everywhere, but the ratio seems much higher in that area. Love visiting, but I couldn't live there no matter what (I'm only speaking for Wise).

And boy do they love the 'N' word up there. Only time I ever heard it more was on a rap album.

You're darn right I am. Abingdon, Va born and raised. I go to ETSU now so I hope that makes me an honorary Tennesseean.

Mac & Bobs in Salem is a good spot. They used to have viewing parties at Awful Arthur's downtown. Bull n Bones in B'Burg would be an ideal location as long as kickoff wasn't the same as Tech.

Mac and Bobs is a nice spot, so is village grill in Roanoke on memorial. Don't care for bull n bones whatsoever. I do like Sharkey's in Radford a lot.
