Good stuff.
The Tigerettes last year was 1984, the year before I started in Tiger Band.
My wife was on the flag line and she has quite a few pictures taken on these Greek Theater/Enchanted Forest steps with Mike the Tiger (Mark Jeffers and Dwayne Minnick).

re: Unless Joes dies apparently WI and NV are off the table for a new Democrat candidate.

So, here is a theoretical solution for the Dems:
First of all, when you vote for a presidential candidate, you aren't really voting for a candidate. Rather, you are voting for a panel of Electors who are dedicated to that candidate. Yes, it makes a difference.
So, let's say that Biden is forma...

re: Candace Owens: Israeli Citizens were Warned of the 9/11 Attack 2-Hours Before it Happened
Posted by Thorny on 6/27/24 at 9:54 am
The general idea that Al Qaeda was going for a big attack was well known.
Several months after 9/11, I was cleaning up my military account and came across an email on 9/10 telling everyone to be on the lookout for strange actions that could lead to an attack. I was just a line officer--this email...

Everyone saying that Dale was a bad coach didn't see the total confusion in the eyes of the Georgetown PG as he was trying to figure out what defense we were in each time down the court.
Yes, the Freak Defense was a matchup zone, but it was more. The matchup system would be dictated not from the ...

The Catholic Church has always condemned IVF as a violation of human ethics.
It treats the embryos as commodities, not as the people they are.

I'm always amused at Trump Loyalists who pretend it's a huge leap that he'd say something like that. Maybe he didn't, but given the shite he's on record saying, it wouldn't surprise me at all if he did.

LSU hosting Florida in 2016 wasn't the same though, as LSU already had a game scheduled for that day. The only change necessary was who the opponent would be.
A more accurate comparison will be the first round of the new 12-team playoff. Schools will have to put together entire game events with o...
