Dont want to take 321, ive had bad luck that way. Google says I-77 to 81 in VA. Ive come home that way.

Another Google option is taking 19E. Its 163 miles which is the shortest route, but says same amount of time as taking Interstate, which is 213 miles.

Im looking for best route only, not interested in scenery or anything like that.

I-85 to 74 Shelby,

Rt on 226 in Shelby to I-40, (30-45 min. drive)

I-40 to I-81 in Tenn

I-81 to Bristol

It's the way I like to go and seems to be the quickest.

:eek:

interesting route.

Why go 226 instead of 74 all the way? Why not go I-26 to JC?

Thanks

I drove back to Charlotte today from Saratoga Springs, NY. All in one day. We took 81 and were on that sumbitch for a good 500 miles.

81 isn't bad as long as you're not having to go thru PA where they have road work every quarter mile it seems like and it drops the speed limit down to 55.

I've never had to drive to Bristol, but I saw the signs for it on the way home. I don't really have anything of value to add to this thread... I just wanted everyone to know that I won 140 dollars at the horse races and went camping for the first time ever in NY.

And that PA highways suck. I'd almost rather take the NJTP and pay all the damn tolls (which from Baltimore to Albany is easily 30-40 bucks) than take 81 thru PA again.

And we stopped on the way up to visit my mom in Annapolis and I found out she owns a Shake Weight. That was a major facepalm.

i did the loop.

77 North to 81...to Bristol, then to K-Port...then 26 via JC to Asheville and 40 to Hickory and 321....

there is road work of some sort on every interstate.,,but overall, i didnt have to slow up too much.

i really like that drive thru VA.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
