Re: Bridgestone Winter Classic 2012
I try to be the middle man, hoping to keep the tenuous collection of deadbeats known as "Delaware Fans" together as a cohesive unit. My efforts have failed. :cry: The only people I can get to attend beer/crab functions, even the ones in Delaware, are all non-Delaware grads (except Iola). ...

Re: Iraq war officially ends
Maybe.....no telling where we'd be with a Kerry/Gore presidency(ies). I doubt either of those guys could have withstood the public outcry to get somebody's head on a stick post 9/11. We might have invaded Iran or North Korea and be in an even bigger mess. :coffee: I doubt it. The perps weren't in e...

Re: Gerrymandering: This is legal why?
It's legal because both parties have been doing this crap since the country was established. This is what happens when partisans and political operatives have too much sway. Iowa is maybe one of the only states that has a half-way decent way of minimizing the politicization of redistricting - should...

Doesn't seem like it would pass Constitutional muster. Certainly should be something the ACLU should pursue and get the Courts to weigh in on it. Seems perfectly teed up for them.

Hey, I call em like I see em. I wouldn't put a lot of faith in the idea that Montana is going to stop GSU - you better hope you can outscore them.

Re: NTSB Proposed Ban On Texting, Cell Phone Use..

Re: stopping the triple option
It's not like no one has the scheme defensively on how to stop the triple option - that's already well known. The key is having players who have played against it and have players that are pretty good. And it's far more than the defensive line - in fact, the secondary is probably the most important...

Again, I agree that GS wouldn't solve all the problems and I agree that regs are only as good as enforcement - look at Sarbannes-Oxley. I obviously agree that there are additional fundamental problems that need to be addressed. Now, ask yourself this question: if we have some regs in place and they...

There is a pretty easy to navigate subway system that takes you from Center City Philly (where there are plenty of bars) to the complex in about, I don't know, a minute or two. Maybe 5 minutes tops.

Re: Former Notre Dame QB to Delaware?
I'm on the record - I'm not a fan of Crist playing for UD next season. Me too. I'm not fully there. Depends on the prognosis for Sasek. If you just need a QB to get you through one year until Sasek has had a chance to fully heal, I could be down with Crist. In that case, his one year is more than e...

Re: OWS Protests Turning Violent
There is a pretty significant difference between gaming the system (non-criminal) and breaking the law (criminal). Neither is particularly endearing, but the latter one gets you jail time (and the convictions you want to pursue) and the former just gets you sneers and derision. This wasn't the firs...
