    Troy Davis Booked for Public Intox

    Confirms my belief that the police could have chose to handle this much differently than they did. Interesting that Randy focuses only on what Troy could have done differently during the day to prevent his being in a position that the police could choose to arrest him. (And chose not to address...

    I think it's already been reported that he neither resisted nor failed to cooperate.

    Troy Davis Booked for Public Intox

    Oh please. You can't really think that's how it works. I don't believe you are that naive. The police men and women are not robots. They are human beings who can and should exercise good judgement in the course of their duties. We simply disagree about whether they did that in this case.

    Troy Davis Booked for Public Intox

    My full empathy is with Troy. He is one of our own, and many if not most of the posters who are sneering at him this morning could have found (or may find someday) themselves in a similar situation, and I hope recognizing that truth they may reconsider their harsh criticism of Troy (if they can...

    Things to do in Europe? (UK, FRA, ITA, GER, CZE, NLD, BEL, SWE, DEN)

    But if they are starting in Paris they can take the channel underground to London back and forth in one day if they choose. My husband and I did and it was a blast . . . the train itself being an experience. We got to see quite a few of the sights we wanted to in London, shopped at Harrods...

    Things to do in Europe? (UK, FRA, ITA, GER, CZE, NLD, BEL, SWE, DEN)

    Have an Amazing trip. One stop I would highly recommend is Florence. so much to see and do in a fairly compact area easy to get around. Beautiful to behold. Lots of after hours nightlife for those so inclined (I wasn't but my college student was). And if you get there, book an (expensive)...

    Denver ticket allotment - about as fair as they could be

    Which is where my son is now with 20 of his closest friends. 4 drove down from KC Saturday (in my car . . . I am the greatest and dumbest mom simultaneously). I convinced them not to drive straight through only by paying for a room on the road that cost me $160 for the 4 hours of sleep they...

    AP/Coaches Rankings?

    I hope we do. Unrealistically high pre-season rankings last year made for too many irrationally irate fanatics this year.

    Denver ticket allotment - about as fair as they could be

    I agree with this, with the caveat that many students do go with parents who are fans/season ticket holders. I took my kids to Louisville when we played UConn/Kentucky . . . best. time. ever. I'm not going to Denver, but keeping my fingers crossed we make it to Chicago, and I dare not even...

    they did, and noted that the landslide in favor of George came from both clone and hawk fans.

    Didn't know Fred was still the coach

    Maybe that was said, but I haven't seen it, and that's not how I feel. Honestly, I just want all my cyclone brothers and sisters, whether you have been with us for years, or just climbed on board, to be excited about whats coming. It's going to be great. Believe.

    Didn't know Fred was still the coach

    Do not tell yourself that. It's not true. CSP CAN meet and even exceed what CFH did for us. As amazing as he was, he was/is not God. Just a very, very good man and good coach. So is CSP. Give it time.

    Behind Enemy Lines: Big 12

    Thanks for posting this. I've been meaning to say this for some time now. So disparaging. Just wish some folks would re-read and think about what they are typing before posting.

    ISU/WVU post game thread

    sorry, should have spoke for myself . . . i don't even pay attention much to posts about playing time, rotations, time outs etc. I am certain csp knows way more about how to do his job than I do. Not to say that he doesn't make mistakes . . . I am sure he does. I bet he would be the first to...
