The correct answer to BJ´s question is Ian Parmly, who had a cup of coffee last year. Prior that it had been 22 years since Doug Brady in 95. Texas missed out on a great pr opportunity when they traded Ryan. They could have had Cordell, Texas Ranger in the outfield. Depending on if you want to coun...

Give it up, guys. Just face it, no one wants us.

But throughout the history of the world, and mainly before 1900, government had not role in creating a welfare program. I'm pretty sure the poor are better off today than the poor before 1900, ergo, the government is doing a better job helping the poor today than the rest of society was doing befor...

So, Liberty4life, no we don’t have it anywhere near as bad as when Hanky was here. I was being sarcastic. Hanky was awful. Any coach who proudly proclaims heading into the last week of the season that he started to install the second of his three part defense... well, that's pretty lousy. But hey, ...

Purple absolutely hammering you about how $$$ =/= wins in 3...2...1... What point are you trying to make? If it's that $$$ = wins, then we are not getting enough bang for our buck because we spend the most $$$ in the Big South. Which was my point. If you're saying that $$$ is NOT correlated to wins...

Let's put it this way: being this low on the RPI makes me think that we didn't have it so bad during the Mel Hankinson days.

For starters, I honestly think that Perry can't get 10,000 signatures. He only beat me in New Hampshire by 1,800. And what you just did is open the door to is some unelected official (a judge) being able to determine who is / who is not worthy enough of ballot inclusion. Congratulations. You just tu...

I think it's the fault of A) the coach B) the guy in charge the conference's biggest athletic budget. Talk about not getting enough bang for the buck. Can't we get a 'Moneyball' AD in?

If you can't get 10,000 people to support you in one state, you're not going to get the 70,000,000 needed to win a national election.

Obama may have been a community organizer, but at least he knew how to run an effective campaign. You can't say the same about all the candidates on the GOP ticket.

question when did they shift form Evangelical Christian School to Conservative Christian School? Around the time they had Glenn Beck, a Mormon with no university degree, as its graduation speaker. Banning the LU Democrats didn't help.* Hey, speaking of Mormons, isn't it funny that Mormons Jon Hunts...

Why are the rules wrong? Having minimum standards in place ensures that the lesser candidates are weeded out. You have to earn your way onto a ballot, lest you have one filled with jokes like Lyndon Larouche, Terry Jones, and the "Rent is Too dang High" Guy.

Why is this an issue? Perry, Gingrich & Santorum weren't able to get the necessary signatures to be included on the ballot. They knew the rules. And if they aren't intelligent enough to know the rules / or have enough of a ground game to get 10,000 supporters, they then certainly aren't going to be ...

Asa was classified as a first time offender according to VA law too. So Lib was not the only one wrong apparently. Also if you're serious about the tie comment that makes you sound pretty pretentious (and kind of an a**). This coming from a guy who wears a tie 5 days a week. I understand disagreein...

My contention with the crux of the chancellor's argument: Is it really fair to call Asa a "first-time offender"? Maybe for drugs, but this is a guy who has rap sheet as long as a football field. He's a guy who had a "felony malicious wounding" arrest on his record before arriving on campus, among ot...

You laugh, but they can probably beat us.

It's difficult because there are more penalties as your income grows until your income reaches a certain level (around $330,000, I think -- which is approximately what my company's CEO makes). Statistically, a mother of three making minimum wage has more disposable income than a family of four earni...

Is it really that ridiculous to mention Randy Dunton's name? Yes, it's been several years. But he came back to rescue Liberty five years after this first tenure.

Here's how the next few years will pan out: 2012: Larkin gets in. Jack Morris gets a push, but it's too short. Palmeiro, McGwire, Bagwell fall short. 2013: Mike Piazza gets in. Jack Morris does not. Curt Schilling & Bagwell clear 50%. Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, & Sammy Sosa all fail to clear 50%. S...

And Johnny Bench didn't seem to have much difficulty getting into Cooperstown on the first ballot. Johnny Bench was Johnny Bench. That's why he got in on the first ballot. He is the ONLY catcher in baseball history to get in on the 1st ballot. And he's pretty much the unanimous greatest catcher who...

Funny thing is Huntsman just about stole the win from Romney.

So, it's a slow week. I came up with a list of 9 current players who I think are worthy of the HOF. What do you think: correct or does somebody need to be omitted? Did I miss anyone?

I should call this post, "How to Start a Firestorm"...

But seriously -- how funny / sad is it that Ron Paul may WIN the Iowa Caucus -- and the story out of it will be "Romney Edges Gingrich for Second"???

I'm about to jump on the Paul bandwagon just because...

what the heck do admission standards have to do with being FBS!??? NOTHING! Completely pointless debate Not completely pointless. Academic standards (which go hand-in-hand with admissions) do play some role, most importantly when it comes to conference affiliation. Some conferences (at least, the g...

Think App State. Not a game with App State, but ..." And the fact that Barber as been making trips to Boone Lately? YES!!!!! Open the floodgates for unfounded speculation and conjecture! Question: Are there enough FCS schools willing to make the jump to make a new FBS league? I know that Jax State,...

The Big South will not allow Liberty to stick around as a full-time member while bolting and essentially destroying its football league. It's not good business. This is an all-or-nothing proposition. I assume that we're the most attractive school in the Big South (suck it, Radford). I also assume t...
