I take offense to that, actually, I don't consider myself partisan at all. Maybe a hack, but surely not partisan. :lol:

Re: Villanova #2 In Both Polls

I think most Nova fans are sensitive about cuse this year.. They beat a couple of good teams and a couple of overrated teams and suddenly they're the hottest team in the country. Versus the giantkillers on 'Nova's schedule??? Cuse is #3 in AP & #4 in USA Today/ESPN. Either way the game on the 2...

Re: FCS Title Game Fight Heating Up

Surely you jest. You are the one who keeps saying Montana is one of three teams who really brings the fans and that Delaware fans should be embarassed... yet Montana was half of two of the worst three attendances and had less people for UM/FU than UD/CU when FU brought more than CU.

Re: Wallace Reports Coulson No Longer at Sports Network

Best FCS writer they've ever had? Come on, Tony Moss was fantastic and never had the biases Coulson had. Coverage went downhill ever since Moss left. I liked Matt Dougherty's work. Dougherty was okay, but he was pretty raw when it came to FCS knowledge early on. He got better the longer he was in t...

Re: Pitt to be the 12th B10 team

I'm not so sure this has any credence, but it does have one thing in it's favor. Pitt would make a good travel partner for Penn State . Are they thinking that Pitt is Northwestern East? That's about the only other justification I could make for it since the Marinos don't have anything outside of MB...

Re: FCS Title Game Fight Heating Up

Why would UD be embarrassed about 2003? The game does take two teams to have good attendance. In case you don't realize, Colgate is a pretty small school with a small following that happens to be buried in upstate New York. Heck, Colgate even decided, on their own, to give up home field advantage i...

As second in line for the Presidency, the security costs would probably outweigh savings from a regular Air Force Charter. But she does need to cool it on the flights. Peanuts, anyone?

Re: Obama to seek repeal of "Don't ask, Don't Tell"

I don't understand Obama's hesitation in doing this. He doesn't need Congress to make this happen - the original DADT was done via Executive Order after Congress then balked at it. I certainly understand it is far more permanent to go the Congressional route (well, not permanent, but harder to resc...

Re: Repeal the 17th Amendment?

But how would that happen just due to how Senators are elected? Regardless of who votes for them, they're going to do their darndest to get as much pork into their state as possible.

I actually like soccer, but just because the ball's in play for 95% of the time doesn't mean there's real action to keep your eyes glued to the set.
