Is this the worst team name ever? I mean BMW, Michelin, and a new auto research facility are all in the upstate. Is that reason enough to name the team the drive though? Keep in mind that they hired a marketing firm to come up with this. Someone actually paid a lot of money for this name. When you ask me what Greenville is known for I don’t say “automotive facilities”…. I say humidity, road construction, fire ants, and mosquitoes. Maybe they could call the team the Greenville Humidity… can’t be much worse than Drive or can it?

It’s been a while since I had attempted something like this and was essentially another failure. Luckily for me, I took as many people as I could fit into the van to take turns chasing him. Plus, there were very few people in attendance for us to annoy which helped. It was a nice test to see if there was any chance that I could go to a football game this fall. Sadly, it doesn’t look like I’ll be going to any football games this year :(
