you can be a Muslim and they'll still kill you!

Nice that someone else experienced what it's like to lose on a buzzer beater. At least this one was a set shot from about an NBA 3. Ours was a two handed prayer from mid court.
I had Nova in my first round, but my bracket went in the toilet and I picked no further. Teams like Nova, Butler, Xavier, Wake Forest, and other basketball schools, should never be overlooked.

I dreaded reading this link.  I knew it would be something stupid.   How. Wrong I was!  Stupid doesn't cover it.  
I'm pretty sure all the homes in Evadale have sidewalks.   We refer to them as "shoulder of the road".   Where are my freaking rolaids?

Not to mention the tons of free, top of the line gear that they're given, flying all over the country at no cost, eating great meals and just a first rate sports experience that most of us could only dream of... I realize there is a lot of work involved, but what a reward! Also, the networking and contacts made through big time college sports will prove invaluable later. I sure hope he can/will/continue to appreciate all of these benefits. He is one of the lucky few.

Players do get paid.  They get either a free education (full scholarship) or an education at a reduced amount (partial scholarship) that regular old students do not get.  
 
According to this website //www.ua.edu/about/quickfacts, it costs, on average, $20,755 per semester to attend Alabama.  That's somewhere around $166,040 for a 4 year degree.  That comes out to players making $41,510 a year while they are at Alabama.  Really don't see how players need to be paid anymore than what they already are getting.

Good cover. If someone says something bad about someone else, then it has to be hate? I'm not the one who screwed up. Great mentality working there for you. If he takes illegal money, then he should have been paid. Unfreakinbelievable.

spoonbill you are right.
IMO  anything associated with BISD is a joke, fraudulent and probably against the law.
His lack of discipline parallels BISD and Carroll Thomas, Guillory, Walker, etc...
Look at the Court House and the news --who do you see?

Its a Manzel type of problem..  Kid has always been good at sports and has had every thing handed to him on a golden platter sports wise. Gets some where that he isnt the best and dont know how to act. Will continue to stay in trouble.

I understood it and it made sense.....even without my Patron.
Not sure about the taxation part.

Greece and Turkey must not have heard that all Muslims are good and they need to be more politically correct.

If you want to talk about flawed arguments, let's look at the whole man-made global warming theory. The government says the Earth is warming at a catastrophic rate. The data we used to calculate this has been altered, manipulated and even pulled out of thin air, so no one actually knows if the Earth is really warming. We say the warming is catastrophic but in reality we really don't have a clue as to what the effect will be. Now that we have told you that we all agree on our doomed future, let's figure out the cause. Well...since we have no clue, let's just blame humans. Wait, what. What role does Mother Nature play in this settled science (gotta keep reminding the folks that the debate is over). What effect do volcanos play, thermal sea fissures, glacial sun glare, glacial movements, ever changing (and not understood) weather patterns. Hell, we don't even have a clue as to why lightning appears before and after earthquakes. What about solar flares and mass thermal ejections, sun spots, sun hibernation, changes in Earth's axis tilt, the moon's gravitational pull, and the other countless effects that might contribute to Earth's weather patterns. Forget about all of those things, the debate is settled. Now let's propose plans on how to reverse man's ruinous activities. Any suggestions. No. Let's just throw out some proposals, don't worry about testing them, and throw a lot of money at them.
Before anyone starts throwing money at a problem, there are a few things that need to be addressed. Step 1. Identify the problem. Step 2. Propose solutions to the problems. Step 3. Empirically test these proposals to find best solution. Step 4. Implement solution. The government thinks we are at Step 4, but anyone that has spent one hour or less of research can quickly ascertain that we are at Step 1. And even if we somehow get to the point that we all agree that Step 1 is reality, then we should move to Step 2, not Step 4. Hence, the crisis. Since this so-called warming is so catastrophic, we need to start implementing solutions that we have no idea what effect (good or bad) they will have on the Earth.
Before we uncover the effects of man-made global warming, how about we study why man-made global warming theories are at the forefront of this administrations' list of problems. One theory is that making it into a catastrophic scenario then Americans will be more willing to dish out a lot of money to help clean the environment. Americans will be more agreeable to stricter and stricter EPA regulations. These things will be beneficial to the longevity of man and earth, but to get them implemented we have to create a doomsday scenario. The ends justify the means.
Another theory, and one that runs congruent with the first, is that we need to spend tons of money on third world countries to bring them up to par with us. The American people will not agree to just give our wealth to these countries, so we have to create a doomsday scenario. Trick the people into thinking that the only way to save mankind is to redistribute our wealth to the poorer nations under the guise of saving the planet. The ends justify the means.
I don't have a problem with America investing money in keeping our environment clean. But I do have a problem with our government spending trillions of our hard earned tax payer dollars on a solution to a problem that has never been defined.
 

Bad one. Mack's is much better.

Exactly why I posted it. Shows how stupid some people can be believing the Katrina  crapola. I take my shots when I see fit.

nothing will even be attempted to shut down the border along with stopping the aiding of illegal immigrants via housing, healthcare, etc till one of the MAJOR OFFICE HOLDERS CHILDREN OR FAMILY MEMBER IS INVOLVED in an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT causing a TRAGIC LOSS.
 
 

How about we just enforce our laws. Heavily fine any company employing illegals. Heavily fine any company/person renting/providing housing to illegals. Heavily fine any hospital that doesn't report illegals after treatment. Heavily fine any school district that doesn't report illegals. Now how could an illegal stay in a country where he can't work, can't get housing, can't go to the hospital and can't enroll his kids in school. Problem solved. And the government can claim they created millions of jobs.

Cant we find most of these folks at the polls? :):)

Doesn't even sniff my "worry" list. 
I think Auggie needs to retire, but that's just me.

Fixed it.

Glad to see some of you like this. Sounds real good on a decent system. Read up on the song and it is about people's inability to communicate. Youtube, you can see them play it live on Conan O'Brien's show. 

......covers an old Simon and Garfunkel tune. I wasn't aware how powerful a song it was till now. Let me know if you like it or not. It is different. Great voice.
