Thank you!!!

There is another one in Gainesville. His girlfriend (not his wife) once called my wife!!!!!

Took some explaining, especially by him. Met him a couple times!!!!

Now there is a third.
To be clear,

There are two different “Steven Willis” guys who sometimes post here.

I have no idea who the flake guy is.

But I’m the one with an NYU law background, albeit UF law since 1981.

I bleed purple and gold.
Geaux Tigers!!!!!

They named a plaintiff that has no real legal existence. Very doubtful an unincorporated association can sue or be sued. Likely the judge's first reaction. It is tax exempt because federal tax law does not require personhood for 501(c)(3)/170(c)(2) exemption.

It was a collection of implied but unnamed states and universities. That might be sufficient to get beyond a motion to dismiss for failure to name a plaintiff; but, it is very doubtful the State of Florida or any state has First Amendment rights. That notion strikes me as ludicrous. The same is true of any private exempt school. The Supreme Court in Hobby Lobby allowed shareholder first amendment rights to be asserted by a "close corporation" (very antiquated language by Alito).

I would not conclude the suit is frivolous, but it is not serious. The amended petition citing Kiffin's joke, the AG's geaux tigers and the dancing is silly. I'm embarrassed for the lawyers who filed it. They have decent reputations, but this is disconcerting.
Indeed: Happy Birthday! I sat next to Bert in a marketing class. Hard to believe he is that old.

Wait, I'm about to turn 74.
I was in economics with Collis Temple and Marketing with Bert Jones. They took real courses then. No idea about today.
To SOL2,

Steven J. Willis is a double LSU grad, former Prof. at NYU and current Professor at UF. Bleeds purple and gold.,

The Old Miss dude is Steven Willis II.

Two different people.

I live in Florida and teach at UF. I heard some trash talk this week. UF fans are publicly confident, but they know they have issues.

I just hope they extend Billy’s contract!!!! That comment does not trigger a good reaction.

I sat next to him in a marketing class. Gosh that was a long time ago.

The video shows a battery, not an assault (assuming South Carolina law is the same as most states). Assault is an attempt. Battery involves touching.

No excuse for the hand gestures, but they do not justify a battery.
I'm only 72. It was called both Death Valley and Deaf Valley 55 years ago in my first of 7 years at LSU.

:geauxtigers:
I was there from 1970-77. I learned a great deal. It was worth it.
Sat next to Collis Temple in an economics class and Bert Jones in marketing.
Yes. Peace and understanding are appropriate prayer requests. We all need both.

All that is irrelevant. In my 73 years I've know many angry men. Many bullies. Some of the grow up. Many never do and they end up bitter. Schnall may be grown, but he comes across as immature. I pray he finds some peace and perspective.

Wow. :nana: :nana: :nana:
I have worked for UF for 45 years, so I guess I chose Florida.
