Hey OnlineLC, Good to hear from ya... Yeah we did come a little further than that. I don't mind the drive if there is football involved. Yeah, I had to spend the next day shopping.. But hey there is some good food there in Opry Mills too.. Good luck to CPA the rest of the playoffs... We had a major overlook and got an early exit... Not to fun.. We under estimated CAK and it bit us. We didn't play good and they played the game of their lives.. Thats the way it goes though.. Thats what the playoffs are about... Upsets happen.. Just wish it would have been another team... But I'm just as proud to be a LANDER as I was in 2001 in Murfreesboro... See ya around...

Hey krp... A pretty long ride for some trees... But you have got to keep the wife happy. The people I work for right across the line in Elk Park NC have a choose and cut. It is on the left about 200 yards after you cross the line. These are good people....Very honest.. I don't work in the tree part, but I did years ago...This is who I would recommend. pujo may have some advice on this also... He knows a lot of people up that way too... Great trees in Carter and Avery County.

Be more than glad to have you. Although we have some rebuilding to do. Lost a lot of seniors. Some good young talent coming up. But some work to do... I look forward to it though. I will be there win or lose..

Well... I think you are right.. Our weak schedule hurt us. I have said our schedule was to weak... I never denied that. I feel like this loss was due more to overlooking. Just my opinion. Also... In the last three years of playoffs, we have not had a game where we just played plain bad. The games we lost... The championship to E. Harding and in the semi to Boyd... The better team won. We finally had a bad game against a good team. If we could have pulled it out, I think it could have opened the boy's eyes.. To let them see this was not going to be easy. But hey...its the playoffs and there are no second chances. Good win by CAK and I wish them luck. The scheduling isn't the fans fault either... We go to the games give it our all in support and take up for our team on CoachT.. Not much more we can do or say. We have nothing to be ashamed of and I am as proud to be a Lander today as I was back in 2001 when we went to Murfreesboro. Good luck to all the teams...

Thats the way it goes.... CAK came to play... Cloudland overlooked them.. Congrats to CAK good luck down the road.. We are still proud of you LANDERS!

Not really much to say.... CAK came to play and Cloudland did not... CAK scored with 5 seconds on the clock and added an extra point for the win. Good game. CAK a much better team than I had anticipated. I think the same would go for the boys.. They just were not ready to play.. CAK played hard in every play of the game.... Congrats CAK... Well played game.. Good luck on down the road... Cloudland we are all very proud of you... It has been a great run.. We just came up short... Cloudland just overlooked them.. It happens... The bad part is there is no second chance in the playoffs... So thats the way the football bounces...

pujo... Its ONLINELC that has his picture in front of Cloudland. You are right though they are classy. I went to the DCA and CPA game. I got to meet robjim and ONLINELC among others. If CPA plays like they did that night, I don't see anyone from the west beating them. A pretty close game overall. DCA did make their mistakes and CPA capitalized on them. I can't wait to get started.. This has been the longest week! GO LANDERS! (Undefeated) GO KC CHIEFS! (Undefeated)

Friday can't come soon enough. CAK looks like a much improved team. It looks like all the teams out of region 2 are pretty equal. Cloudland needs to make a statement in this game to get the other teams from region 2 a little worried. Take one game at a time boys.... The fans will do their part.... Lets make another run for the top!.... Have a safe trip CAK... GO LANDERS!

We hear you up in Roan Mountain... Our prayers are with you.

Wow...Dakota will love this.. Could be another 300 yard game like when he was a sophomore and a team from your district attempted to shut Byrd down. I just can't see CAK stopping Cloudlands offense. I also feel like our defense is better that Greenback, Midway or Onieda. Only time will tell. I may go on down to the field Monday and just wait for Friday to get here..

Well it is the playoffs and anything could happen. There will be some upsets which could jumble things up a bit. Seeing the CPA, DCA game if CPA plays like that I don't see anyone from middle or west beating them. Ezell looks to be playing a lot better from the game with Lipscomb. No disrespect to South Pitt but I think Boyd will eliminate them. If Cloudland plays up to their potential they should make it to the semi. Home field advantage could be the key to the game with cold or bad weather a possibilty. Seems some of the teams don't like "The cow pasture" much. As some that visited have called it. We wouldn't have it any other way... We have a great team but it is hard to tell just how good we are until we see some better competition. The starters have not played a full game all season. So it will be good to see what the boys are capable of in a full 4 quarters.

Well we have to get that far first but I plan to be there. Good to see ya dog! Having fun at all wedding functions?.. I will save plenty of room for all... That is the bad thing about being so crazy about the Landers.. I feel like I am in a panic until I am sitting right on the 50 where I belong.. So I get there about an hour and a half before the game.. So I am the official seat saver. OnlineLC... Sounds good. I will make the reservations today.. Would you prefer spring or summer at the park? Are you shipping the boys... I mean "the package" UPS? Cause it seems here at work we get quite a few things in damaged. Don't want one of them to come out of the boxes limping or worse. As an added bonus... We might be able to get you a couple of free meals at the "Snack Shack".. One of Roan Mountain's finest dining establishments. (Remember the guy you sat beside at the game?)...I'll keep you posted on the packages..

Ahhh.. Lets keep it to ourselves.. They have enough to worry about with all the playoff pairings and such... Landers really does remind me of Dakota Benfield. He is fast and follows his blocking really well. Did you say he was a Junior? We could use him next year for sure.. We might be able to throw in a couple of free nights at the Roan Mountain State Park.. And free deer rides. The key is catching them. It is like trying to catch Byrd or Benfield out of the backfield..

Hey Online LC and robjim... Good to see ya'll..... I think pujo had the best idea... Send Luke up here along with big #8 and we will take care of the hats.... The hat that I had on down there has CHS on the back... Plus you boys might have some kind of witchcraft in mind.. With Halloween tomorrow... I can see you and OnlineLC dressed in little witches costumes around a fire.. Stirring the witches brew and tossing the "Landers" hat in.. Muttering some chant... So I better hold on to it.. robjim didn't look a day over 70... What do you mean OnlineLC? Plus.. Pretty? Maybe I need glasses....

I know there were Cloudland fans there that wasn't my argument. I just thought anyone from here would be to proud of our team to make such a quick decision. All the people that I had talked to that were at the game gave me a much different opinion. But hey...Only time will tell.. We both have to make it that far first...
