Wow that is high!! I really appreciate that info! I know everyone talked on here last year about playing at the higher elevations and I wasn’t trying to stir anything. I just truly thought that state wide site with every stadium on it was really impressive! WV doesn’t have anything like that. I will say this NC does it’s football first class and you got a follower here in WV!!
Now do any of the teams ever saw playing at that Avery Stadium in challenging because of elevation? Or really no big difference? Thanks again!!
Funny thing is I've talked to people in business from other states serval times in the pass and it usually surprises them that NC has mountains they think of NC just another SC or other Southern states flat and beaches then states like VA and WV having the mountains but NC has the highest mountains in the Appalachian mountain chain including of course Mt Mitchell 6,684ft the highest peak east of the Mississippi River. Mitchell county has Roan Mtn 6,285ft.
But yeah I've been to Avery games in October in a snow storm because of the elevation and being more north they're usually 10°+ colder than Mitchell. And for some reason Mitchell's stadium can be 10° or more colder usually because the wind than the towns.

And yes buzz this has nothing to do with the game but once again I'm just answering a question.
It will be the first thread ever this year which there's a discussion that has nothing to do with the thread original topic.🙃

I agree. Just think about this for a second. This is week 15 of football and to only be sacked 4 or 5 times total this fall says a lot about the line and his instincts in the pocket.
Well Andrews had a hard time getting though the line to him and Mitchell got in the backfield and looked like they had him serval times but he'd ether pass it usually across the middle or make a move and run down feild.

I am gonna have to private message you and catch up on all this NC info Old Mountaineer! I really appreciate the reply. My dad’s people are from Haywood County and left to come to WV when they took the land in the Cataloochee Valley for the park. So I been trying to reconnect and research family tree info. Found this site by accident. Being a small town football fan from how I grew up I am hooked on this site now lol! Thanks again bud!!

While I appreciate the video because on the TV broadcast I couldn't see the end of the play their camera was behind the people on the side so the view was blocked.
But I believe he's referring to another drive and something I don't believe I've ever seen Draughn got a false start penalty by one of the lineman and the lineman beside him was so mad that he grabbed him and shook him and apparently cussed him which got him a unsportsmanlike conduct penalty which added another 15 yards to the 5 yard penalty. I don't believe I've ever seen someone get an unsportsmanlike for something he did to his own teammate.

Probably his cussing him was the biggest part of the penalty.

Yeah I say that was it because he grabbed him first but the ref didn't throw the flag until he started yelling at him so I'd say some choice words came out of his mouth.
I know one thing forget the coach if I was his father he'd been in a lot more trouble with me.

Under 3 hours till kickoff. The pregame for MAvsDR is on the local radio and starts at 7:00 and they will have great information on both teams before 7:30 and halftime stats.
