Didn't they show the national basketball championship on the side of that building in...checks notes...1994?

Yep, I was down there.  That was back when after 7PM there were tumbleweeds rolling down Tryon every night. Nothing down there AT ALL. But for that weekend they fabbed up a fully operational Fat Tuesdays on the fly and there were these weird little bars in office spaces everywhere.  Security low- fake ID dream.  Pretty great weekend.  I have heard more than one person say that weekend largely ignited the downtown revitalization.  Who knows?  It took off hard in the mid to late 90's and has yet to slow down.

 

I remember on like the 2nd day driving down there having to park like a block and a half away from the epicenter of the entire event and being pissed.  There literally was nothing going on there then.  Hard to believe really.

Yeah cool. I was in college and a bunch of us drove down cause there was nothing to do in Davidson or Lake Norman in 1994. And like you said people actually hanging out uptown on a weekday was a novelty. Seemed fun at the time.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      If we divide the league up into quarters you need to be able to make 8 worse starting QBs for him not to be bottom tier. Who are they?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      It just doesn't add up to what we're watching. It feels like you're trying to convince yourself that Bryce can just make a few adjustments and pan out. You say he turns the ball over because he's over aggressive and I just don't see that. A lot of his turnovers are just bad throws oftentimes because the balls sails in him. The fumble issues? I mean, you have the smallest QB in the NFL getting hit by extremely large powerful kej who knows based on film study that this guy is prone to coughing up the ball. If you're being hit by a much larger, much more powerful man intent on removing the ball from your possession you're gonna lose that battle a decent amount of the time. I think some of it is due to bad footwork but some of it is also that when there's traffic in front of him he has to try to get the ball up and over that pressure due to his lack of height. His release point it just several inches lower than most NFL QBs, no way around it. You saying it's more difficult than simply looking at outcomes while completely leaning on situational stats to try to convince people their eyes are lying to them and Bryce's arm isn't a significantly limiting factor in his game. Some people are hyperbolic about his lack of arm strength but honestly he has one of the weakest arms in the league. That's just reality if you objectively watch him play versus other NFL QBs. If he had time in a clean pocket and can step up into and through his throw he can make most throws but that's the problem, for him to make the tougher throws everything has to go perfect. If there's pressure pushing him off his spot or pressure in front of him where he can't step up or has to try to loft the pass over the scrum it's probably ending in a poor result. The problem is that's a commonplace scenario in the NFL. It wasn't at Alabama. Trust your own QB analytical system. Bryce being very the bottom of the league matches up perfectly with the eye test of just watching him olay

      If he wanted to be as irrelevant as possible in his final year he's achieving it.
