Re: not to discredit Coach Dixon but.....

Crimson, I think you made the case that Dixon is doing a great job. Certainly to succeed in the BE you must have very good players, but just how good were the guys you compared the current crop of players to? Gray made it to the NBA and basically plays mop up minutes in Chicago and he was the best o...

Re: Somerset seeking move to District 5

I have a hard time believing D6 is going to allow all those teams to go to D5. It would be good for D5 if they allowed them to switch. I believe it's good for D5 for Somerset to move in as well. In my earlier point I was wondering if Somerset will be happy with the move. Under the current system it ...

Re: Somerset seeking move to District 5

http://www.dailyamerican.com/articles/2010/01/13/sports/local/sports110.txt District 6 releases Somerset to pursue entry to D5. I'm a little surprised the D6 has released them. I assume that half their sports will have to remain in D6 because of their size. They have moved down in classification in ...

Re: Chalk up another 85,000 jobs lost - Thank You Stimulus!

Let me guess frostlion, you watch nothing but Fox "news"? You say Obama doesn't take responsibility? Perhaps that is what Fox tells you to believe. The truth is a little different....actually, it's a lot different. Obama takes responsibility for AIG bonus fiasco http://www.google.com/hoste...

Re: Obama's Abominations 2009-2012

Southpaw, there is nothing honest and open about keeping the health care behind closed doors. At this point I wouldn't mind seeing Harry Reid lose his seat. It might serve as a wake up call to the new leader. I expect republicans to gain ground, but I do think the democrats will ultimately keep cont...

Re: Chalk up another 85,000 jobs lost - Thank You Stimulus!

Yes, Obama was wrong about how low unemployment would be. Rumsfeld told us the Iraq war wouldn't last more than 6 weeks. Bush said in Feb. of 2008 that we weren't headed towards a recession (I suppose technically he was right..it was closer to a depression). Sometimes politicians are wrong and I can...

Re: Big 10 deserves respect

I think it's pretty obvious that Florida St., UNC, and NC state would have better records in the Big east than the ACC. I'm still waiting for you to make a solid argument. Are you basing that on the bowl games alone? While Fl. St. did beat WVU in Bowden's last game (perhaps a little extra movitatio...

Re: Pete Carroll to Seattle

In this day and age, winning trumps crazy behavior. USC isn't desperate so they can probably afford to hire a good coach who is not at risk for crazy behavior. However, I'd be shocked if someone doesn't hire Mike Leach. I agree something must be up with Pete Carroll. I can't imagine leaving a great ...

Re: Obama's Abominations 2009-2012

BTW...The Downfall of the economy started when Nancy and Harry took over Congress. Do they shoulder any blame for this mess? All Bush's fault right? What could Nancy and Harry do without Bush's signature? It seems as if he dusted off his veto pad once the democrats took over the house and senate an...

Re: Chalk up another 85,000 jobs lost - Thank You Stimulus!

Apparently you don't read the Obamanation thread because Southpaw just made a similar post about the 85,000 jobs. Do you honestly believe turning a shipwrecked economy around can be done overnight, with or without a stimulus? Yes, Obama was wrong about how quickly it would turn around. You gotta hat...
