I'd like to hear your opinion of the area.

I have been contacted about a contract to hire position there, and am unsure of the area. I know it has UNC Pembroke close by, but that is all. I have generally not heard anything good. Not really any bad though so I come to the huddle where theres always someone to say something bad about anything.

So are the schools crappy? Is the night life non-existent? Would you rather drive around this area of the state as opposed to through it?

James R. Jordan, Sr., the father of basketball legend Michael Jordan, was murdered on July 23, 1993, at a rest stop off Interstate 95 near Lumberton.

i don't know B. I just looked at info on wiki, and according to it...the average household may not be able to afford a computer. They may never see the thread.

Yeah, you have a point...

I'm only a little familiar with the area... aside from traveling through there on occasion, I have done a little business with Robeson County and dealt with some of their county employees and spent a little time there in downtown Lumberton. It's not a bad little town, but like I said, you're used to Wilmington, and it's by no means a metropolis, but there's a pretty big difference between the two.

LIAR!! Random drunk guy at the bar came up to me on sat tapped me on the shoulder and told me Jordan's dad was still alive I said "ok thanks for sharing" he continued to ramble on about how changed his face and Michael paid for it. Pretty sure it was Venom talking to me.

its sounding like I don't want to be full time for this place. may have to contract for them though until they offer the job IF it makes sense. meaning they'd have to cover living expenses. rules of unemployment pretty much obligate me to.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
