Get ready big city the record is about to be broken
I wonder what the body count will be this year….
U cats need something to do , other than beating down progress. U want to count bodies? Fool? How will you be counted? Surely not among the brave.
No just the living
Erick What progress are you speaking of, the body count progress. Please name me one year in the last 10 that the homecoming hasn’t had a body count. Not to mention the trash in every parking lot in every bar and fast food restaurant in Greensboro. Rude and no tipping patrons with terrible attitudes, not to mention the bad drivers. If you think this is progress you really have your head where the sun never shines. Socialize the students and the alumni then talk about progress
