Zip_ME87 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 I just made arrangements to attend the game at WF on September 5th and am wondering if GP1 or anyone else on ZN.O is planning to be there. I tried to PM GP1 , but it wasn't working. If anyone is going, please PM me so we can try to get together on gameday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip_ME87 Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 I'll be there... I was hoping to meet "the great" GP1 as well. Awesome! Are you going to the UNC game on the 3rd? I opted to go to the Syracuse Football game on the 4th and then fly into Greensboro on the morning of the 5th. So, I'll only be at the WF game. Hope we can meet up.

UAZipster0305 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 I will be going to both UNC and WF. I have even recruited a UNC student I know to get a picture dressed in Zips gear while holding her UNC student ID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think many of the other 20,000 or so of us won't be getting out of bed early on Sunday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds like an overwhelming public demand for the Great Gee Pee Wan. Will he fulfill the desires of the electorate, or say, "If elected I shall not serve, if nominated, I shall not run"? I have a pretty strong feeling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to PM GP1 , but it wasn't working. If anyone is going, please PM me so we can try to get together on gameday. The Great GP1 will not be attending. Going to the mountains for the weekend. To be honest, I wouldn't drive across the street to watch a college soccer game let alone 70 miles to Winston-Salem. Go to downtowon WS and start at the Mellow Mushroom. It is kind of in the center of the "things to do" area of the city. Pizza is good. Walking distance from Marriott and Embassy Suites. If you want to go to a really good BBQ place, go to a place called Gadzooks (I think). It is on the street that runs between the basketball arena and the football stadium up the hill on the same "block" and side as the football stadium. You will have to drive there as the bb arena and fb stadiums are off campus a few miles. Jim Noble has a great place to eat in WS as well. Eat a good dinner and go to the Fox and Hound across the street to watch sports after dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, I would go much further than across the street to watch Zips Mens Soccer, but no problem if you don't "get it" or "get into it". Just not sure why the sarcasm was necessary.

Ah Yes...you can't go to the Carolina's, and miss the opportunity to eat good BBQ Especially when it's a place that is recommended by someone who lives there.

Apparently you've never read any of GP's other posts on this board. Don't take it personally, and don't be such a pussy. You're feeding our stereotype of soccer players and the boys that admire them.

GP1 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Someone mentioned BBQ around the WS area. Go to Lexington to either Smiley's or Speedy's. BBQ in the south means pork. Chopped BBQ is what a lot of people call pulled pork. The special in Lexington is the sliced BBQ. I recommend the sliced in Lexington. Try it without the sauce and see how good the flavor of the pig is before you put sauce on it. It may not need sauce. Placing the meat on a bun is a no-no. The bread takes away from the flavor of the pig. Knife and fork only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 As Mr. Spock would say: Fascinating. It's just one of those amazing and inexplicable quirks of human nature that anyone who self-proclaims their greatness long enough and loudly enough will develop a following. It must be intoxicating to have that much persuasive power over others, deserved or not. Unfortunately, power tends to corrupt, and it requires a truly great person to appropriately exercise power over others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
