I'm guessing it'll be early due to the expected crowd...so 7 or 8 am
So you don't know either.
Of course I don't know...I haven't worked in the news office in almost three years...

So you still can't answer his question. And no one else has. So maybe you were wrong in giving him crap asking for a guru or insider

Not really...I just think it seems...unnecessary going that far. All you gotta do is ask the question. Its not like LU is some double secret organization where every piece of information is jealously guarded and highly classified and only made known to a select "inner circle" that will then pass the word on to the rest of us peons. If all he said was "What time do the doors open for that?" He probably would still have gotten the same answer, which is purely speculation on my part because of the high profile nature of the speaker and being officially in the primary season.

If Dr Carson had people all the way up University Blvd, you have to think itll be a sizeable wait to get into the Vines Center. Do I know what time the doors open? Youre right...I don't. 7-8 AM is my best guess

Did you ever consider the possibility of him asking for 'insiders' was done in jest? Which seems more likely: That it was said in jest or that ballcoach really believes there is a secret cabal of LU Insiders that monitor and direct this board?

Could he be joking? Its certainly possible...but its almost impossible to really get where he is coming from so you can't really tell if he is joking or being serious (or even if he is an alter ego for a poster on this board)

JK- Not my intention to come across that way...my apologies

Do you really want an old man--and a veteran--standing outside in the cold at 3:00 a.m. in January? That might be fun as a college prank, but don't try to pull that on ballcoach, please.

The doors open at 7 I would imagine people will start lining up much earlier. Like say 3 am

If you see a US Army-issue pup tent outside of the Vines Center on Monday, that's ballcoach, so give him a hot cup of coffee.

I believe they call it a 'Hot Cup of Joe'

This got serious fast...

A. It hasn't been THAT cold
B. I would not be shocked it some people decide to line up that early based on how Donald has drawn crowds recently.
C. Everybody knows not to take me seriously
D. Ballcoach, all jokes aside thank you for your service.

I hate cold weather, but if temperature is above 20 degrees I could survive waiting in line at Vines Center. (I survived a wind chill of -33 in Korea back in 1977).

She should not be allowed on Campus. A debate moderator should be neutral and not attack anyone. Fox should have fired her after she attacked Trump in earlier debate.

She didn't attack him. She asked him a question that will come up on the debate trail. It was a fair question. He was unprofessional when he attacked her with "blood coming out of her eyes."
