Georgia-Vandy football game on CBS | www.ajc.com

What a terrible use of that 3:30 CBS slot.

Guess CBS wants to show a 60-7 ballgame?

The Japanese hated our squadron logo. .. wonder why

That reminds me. I had a supervisor that was stationed there during his USMC days in the late 80s/early 90s. He had a couple weeks to get the lay of the land with the guy he was replacing, so the guy showed him around, helped him and his wife get their apartment set up, etc.

For whatever reason, a lot of the locals loved flashing the peace sign (two fingers held up on one hand). Eventually he asked why they did that, assuming it was some pop culture thing they had latched on to. So he just said, "What's up with these guys and the peace sign?"

The sergeant he was replacing just laughed and said "No, that means 2 bombs is enough..."

So wrong, yet I laughed.

Look like Vandy gets to be on national TV once this year. September 12th vs UGA @ 3:30. I'm to young to know the last time Vandy played on CBS.

EDIT: hoping for UT/OU game to be prime-time on ESPN/ABC.

I think candy played on cbs during franklins last year. They got whooped by mizzu if I recall correctly.

Someone said the hubbs expects the OK/ TN game to be the big ABC prime time showdown like it was last year. He apparently said it on 104.5 Nashville wkly segment last wk

Upset shocker! Vandy 22 - UGA 21
Vandy kicks FG with 00:00 left on clock. One of only two Vandy wins in 2015 (Austin Peay the other).

Tyler Bray back to 100% hope he's able to
compete!

Snippet

Quarterback Tyler Bray, who tore his ACL in January, tweeted Wednesday that he’s now “100 percent,” and that he recently ran for four minutes.

Reid stopped short of declaring him completely healthy, but said his recovery is going well.

“When he was here the last time, he wasn’t quite up to that, but he was getting close, and that’s a good thing,” Reid said. “He’s obviously not ready to go or he’d be here, but he’s obviously recovering.”

When asked if Bray will be ready for training camp in mid-July, Reid said he wasn’t sure.

“We’ll see on that — I don’t have enough information on that right now,” Reid said. “He’s on schedule — that’s where we felt he was when he was here for a couple days.”

Sounds like the may live off 41 which is where I live, it is one of the few roads in Mount Pleasant which hasn't been addressed yet which is luckily coming.

Do they live in Rivertown, Planters Pointe, Park West or Dunes West by chance?

I will ask. They just moved to this house a year or two ago after living somewhere else in MT P. My wife's cousin is a teacher at one of the local schools. We visited last August, and I noticed that the traffic off 17 was becoming a problem. It backed up along the road, but I was told the plan was to widen it. I believe I am familiar with Park West and Dunes West, and it isn't either of those.

I hope Bray has a very productive career in the NFL. While I don't think he'll ever be a starting QB, there are worse careers to have than being a perennial backup QB in the NFL.

Weird question, but does anyone else follow Stephen White on Twitter? A VFL from Memphis and former DE for Tampa Bay...he writes for SBNation on occasion.

The guy's football analysis is brilliant, but his constant tweeting about liberal & social justice related issues is just so terrible.

Ugh.

I do. He is fantastic at analysis. He does tweet his viewpoint ad nauseum. I figure, everyone in America is free to be wrong.

Lawyers are attempting to make the Vandy texts between coaches and convicted rapers public.

That could be bad for Franklin.

Just saw this as I was looking for another post but it needs to be done. Not only is it important in the criminal aspect but also in the civil as well as victim healing. Also, making it public could help schools implement new policies, especially Vandy but who knows how many others have done this?

Charleston to Summerville is almost 30 miles
Charleston to Mt P is under 10

Also MT P is right on the Intercoastal where Summerville is 30 miles inland.

Those are two big reasons for difference in real estate.

Both have the best two school systems in town.

IF you are are talking about DT there is a lot of street parking but it is difficult to get lucky enough to grab one of those spaces. I just recommend getting in a parking garage and paying a little bit. There are plenty of those all across Downtown.

Thanks Eric! I need to plan a trip to visit my cousins being able to drive into Charleston easily (I don't consider 30 mins too long) is just an added bonus.

Maybe one day I'll be able to move there. Mt. Pleasant looks and sounds like a pretty great place.

Great post, I'll add some more to this.

Fort Moultrie on Sullivan's Island is really cool and you can incorperate the beach.

The Charleston Aquarium downtown on the water is really cool if you have kids.

I recommend checking out Boone Hall Plantation, it is beautiful and always has something going on it is in Mount Pleasant.

Shem Creek is a neat area with Docks going out to the harbor and lots of bars and restaurants as well.

If you want to take a long drive go see the Angel Oak on Johns Island, oldest living tree in America or something like that....beautiful.

If you are there on a second Sunday of the month they close off King street downtown and all the restaurants and bars set up tables on the streets and the stores have booths and food trucks come out...really awesome.

Every Saturday there is a great market at Marion Square.

Then you have boating, Beach and golf as well.

My favorite course in town is Dunes West but if you want waterfront views and affordabilty I agree with Patriots Pointe.

Good stuff. Thanks!

Granted I'm very bored...

I'm watching the Vandy spring game on SECN for comic relief.

Freaking Zach Stacy is being interviewed. He's wearing a Zach Stacy Rams T-shirt.

That place is awesome. I thought $50/plate was a bit pricey until the guy with filet mignon came to my table. I took my sweet time eating everything else and loaded up every time he walked by. Definitely got my money's worth!
