But he sure loved the subsidies that the taxpayers put into his pocket...
It’s bad policy, but so are special tax breaks. Just get rid of the tax breaks. This business of throwing one person’s tax liabilities onto the backs of others is ridiculous. ...

How about some Andrew Vaughn, Astros? .900 OPS in June. Any reasonable offer accepted. Sox are going to draft Jac in a couple of weeks, and he'll be ready to go by 2026....
Anything but outlaws or venom...
Forget Joe Burrow. Do you really believe that most LSU (or Alabama, or whomever) fans actually went to school there? ...

Well, you’re the one pulling the race card. The problem is is just like the other poster said. So many players just turned to crap so quickly. They never had any depth so they couldn’t overcome it. ...
I'm sure you can blame administration on a lot of things (as can most schools), but one thing you can't blame them for is your softball program. You have a first class facility and first class coach. What it lacks is something only the fans, not administration, can give: NIL money. Further im...

One of the all-time greats and a fine man. May he rest in peace....
Well, when you program directly against the other (and stronger) company, there will be a winner and a loser. Once the NWO had run its course, it was over....
That’s pretty cool. Hope he makes it!...
It’s ridiculous. It is and it’s going to drive the out-of-state trainers out of fairgrounds. At a time when they need more of them, not less. If they want to make Evangeline and Delta Downs playpens for the good old boys, fine. But leave Fairgrounds out of it....
James Madison’s student fee is over 5k per year. $2,300 of that is for athletics. Still interested? ...
Half a mile from an elementary school. If we have to have these chemical plants, that insist on thrusting their business costs onto others, at least there should be a large safe zone. ...

[quote]North By Northwest[/quote] North by Northwest is my favorite movie of all time. The plot doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it is interesting. I love the cinematography of mid-century Americana. The United Nations, the trains, the redcoats, the cornfield and then Mt Rushmore. I l...
It would be like the CIT, not the NIT: pay for play. There's no money for it....
What about James Madison, one of the the big bubbles of the field? What about Georgia Tech? ...
Yes, but that would’ve required good leadership. And if they had good leadership, they would have survived, regardless of Texas and Oklahoma. The league that should’ve collapsed as the big 12. They lost all of their water carriers. Still, ESPN gave them a huge contract - a much better contract ...
I would say that Pierce level teams are an acceptable outcome. If that’s the goal, we’re likely to fall short of it....
