After writing my last post about Ferrum's win over the Apprentice School, My computer just quit working. Took it to Best Buy to find out that my extended warranty that I purchased, had expired just two months before. Essentially, Windows 10 crashed. While this was extremely frustrating, I was able to re load the program and after a few updates, it seems to be working, almost normally.
I knew I could post to the Fans page on facebook, but the prospect of writing a post for the blog from my phone was not an option. It was a real possibility that I would, for the first time I think, not get a post up for a game. Of course as it turned out, Hurricane Florence came ashore, causing the cancellation of many games, including Ferrum @ Averett. While this storm wreaked havoc in much of North Carolina, Virginia, for the most part was spared. Manypeople have suffered unimaginable losses, and I feel for them deeply, but for me, Florence if nothing else, gave me a chance to get the computer back up and running.
This week, Ferrum is back home against former conference foe, Greensboro. The Pride (1-1) have a win over Gallaudet, but opened the season with a loss against a respectable Newport News Apprentice squad.
I expect that this week, Ferrum will have little trouble with a Pride team that may not talley another win this season. Look for this to be a tune up for
the resumption of conference play.
It should be a happy home crowd for the hall of fame weekend game.
Ferrum 41
Greensboro 7
As for the rest of the ODAC games, the schedule has been drastically altered since the storm. Some games were played early, others postponed, and others were cancelled. I will forgo predictions this week.
Go Panthers!
