Vermont is also the most non-religious state in the nation. Dabo could use this as a mission trip if they had any good athletes.

I spent a summer there in grad school. First weekend I went to a cocktail party and they had a can of bug spray on the buffet cause the state doesn't believe in spraying for mosquitoes (don't kill living things) wouldn't allow Walmart and many hotel chains so much low quality hi priced stuff, accommodations were horrid. Elderly hippies everywhere. Crazy place.

Definitely some good things about the place.

My personal favorite is the statewide ban on billboards aka meatspace banner ads.
There are Walmarts in Vermont, but I certainly don't blame the locals for fighting to keep them out of their towns.

I live here and high school football is a joke here. We did send some pitchers back with Jack Leggett. His relatives still live here in the Burlington area.

Casey Harmon was a great pitcher from South Burlington, VT. The reason we don't sign BBall players from VT is because their hockey skates are too rough on Littlejon's floor. But there have been two BBall players from St. Johnsbury Academy in VT that were stars at Georgia Tech. One was Dayrelrimple (sp) and I don't remember the other.

Yes but not recognized by division 1 schools. The caliber of talent and competition is lacking.

Because we're properly focusing our efforts on coastal SC & GA & FL & TN? And because that seems to be working out for us?

Coach Ford was in on Dale from Vermont back in the day but his other brother Dale was not being offered. Which was a deal breaker according to Larry.

I figure the same reason Ga Southern and App St do not. Dartmouth has it wrapped up.
