Nashville averaged 16,691 last season had around 25+ sellouts and the rest were in the 16k range so I wouldn't put my home town team in the failed category with Phoenix

Happy Saturday.

First off, thanks for all the “Thanks”s guys. I’d have gotten that stats together sooner, but October is a might busy in my house. And then there’s that Beverly work thing…

On the up side, it’s the weekend and we’re traveling again. That’s the fun part of my busy October. Its marching band season and the competitions are in full swing. We were in Alabama last week competing in a six state regional. Long day that included a third place finish against some very tough (and very large) schools. Tomorrow is the Upper SC Regional. We’ve also been bumped up to a new class this year against some of the bigger names in the state. The kids need to be in the top six tomorrow to secure a spot in the state finals.

Hope y’all have a great weekend… I’m looking forward to mine.

Good luck

Morning Gents,

pouring rain here since last night, if the pool was still up it would be full again. To top it off the dog peed on the floor. Stupid dog.

Soccer today. Team has 1 game and dd is playing in a second as another team is short. I have three games to referee today. Temp is currently 70 degrees, oh wait, that's at WDW. It is currently 46 degrees here.

DD plays at noon today. We are 5-0 and have 3 games left, one per weekend for the next three weeks. Trying to go 8-0. Already beat one of the top teams and have one more really tough game. Hoping today goes well in the wet conditions.

Good luck with your game(s)!

Saturday, another day to work, but at least I am employed and nobody else is around. When I get tired of this I get to clean the bathroom today.

Good luck to you as well. We are 7-1 but have never played in this type of cold. Weather conditions really do have an effect. Tournament is next weekend.

Gah, I'm sorry, I couldn't think too straight , way too tired andcouldn't remember half the teams *coughIslanders* or that Florida even had teams


I wanted to get off on a rant about the BS the Oilers owner was doing too, but just couldn't think straight.

It's ok, Nashville started slow and our team almost got sold and moved to Hamilton so I understand the thought that Nashville is a failed team, the lockout is and will seriously hurt Nashville's attendance once the lockout is over

What the oilers owner is doing is what many owners of other sports teams have done before, if they don't get what they want they move the team, it's not right but it's pretty common in sports today

Ahh, Saturday. Feet propped up watching Gameday. Ready for the noon kickoffs and the big one (for me) at 3:30. Can't beat college football.

Each Lockout and strike further erodes my intrest in the NHL. Before the first one, I followed every team well enough to know who played for who etc, but each time I care less and less. I did not miss the lost season. There are times I can't recall who plays for the Leafs anymore.

It is good that Nashville etc are getting a solid base behind it. Minnesota has no problems now that the Stars had ( I hope). I hope Winnipeg stays true and keeps up the support. I would like to see some stability, deal with the Islanders and Coyotes get it setled.

It was rough watching Coyotes games preplayoffs the arena looked empty, I hope they can stay cuz it'll help with other smaller market teams, saw some tweets that made no sense that said after the lockout ends NHL will look to add expansion teams in Quebec and Toronto , 2 teams in Toronto would make no sense when there are other markets that could use one, I am against the Las Vegas, Kansas City and Seattle ideas but one will get a team through a relocation more then likely
