heh Dude, I meant AFTER the game, or before... I'm gonna be broadcasting it, so I'm gonna be busy during too. What's your number, if I can ask?

Hey, lc, where'd Oneida end up? They were 9 last week, according to what I can find. Also, you're gonna be up here tonight, right? Come say hi.

Farragut lost. period. You lose, you not #1. Just that simple. And incidentally... rankings shouldn't mean ANYTHING to players or coaches. You still gotta go win the tournament to be state champ. Go earn back the #1 in the tourney.

Alright, kiddies, according my incredibly unscientific calculations, this is how the district race breaks down (at least for the top 3)... If Oneida beats LC by any margin, Oneida finishes #1, LC a likely 2, Kingston a likely 3 (depending on make ups this week, but Oneida will be done with their sched and uncatchable) If Oneida/LC draw, LC is #1 (again depending on assumptions), Oneida 2, Kingston 3 If LC wins and Oneida gets shut out, Kingston goes 2, Oneida 3, LC 1 Oneida scores 1 in a loss, thhey tie Kingston on points, I'm not sure what the next tiebreaker is after head-to-head, if it's goals against, LC has to score 3 or less for Oneida to be 2, 4, they go to next tiebreak, 5 or more Kingston goes 2 Oneida scores 2 in a loss, they are definately 2, kingston 3. whew. both LC and Kingston have to make up with Scott Co. this week, so that's why I'm a little tenuous. There may be others, too. Just not enough info to do the bottom 4 for me.

Whose responsibility is it for a child to learn and achieve? NCLB = Teachers. Period. Opponents to NCLB = Everybody, teachers, kids, parents, administration. If little Johnny doesn't wanna learn, he ain't. Maybe 1 teacher in 10,000 can motivate him. Does this mean we need to fire the other 9,999? According to a strict interpretation of NCLB, yes. All students are to learn at the same pace, so those 9,999 teachers MUST be incompetent fools, so get rid of them. Wait, we have to replace them? Hrm... there's all these other teachers fired by other school systems... but they're incompetent too... wait, that 1 teacher can teach all 2,000 students in our school! Brilliant! Let's go play golf...

Well, alright, sure... but the digs you get in are infuriating, man. I'm not even a democrat and it rankles me In that context, yeah, your post has merit... I know a number of people like that

Honestly, dandy, I have to agree with you. Let the show say why they're showing it to lead in, some nice music, let the show end with the last face or a shot of the flag or something. If the Pres wants to speak, fine, it's his right, but let it be all about the soldiers. It can and should be tasteful.

And you call Democrats elitists? Wow... true colors

Okay, just finishing up picking this bone Alright, I can see that, but my point is that the war on *IRAQ* isn't putatively supposed to have anything to do with 9-11. IT was about regime change and WMDs and terrorists, but the Administration acknowledged early on that Saddam and IRaq had nothing to do with 9-11 DIRECTLY. Afghanistan, yes, that was revenge for 9-11. So arguing that the 3000 that died in 9-11 justifies the numbers given in the earlier post was wrong. Not that the numbers of dead or wounded need a justification, just that using 9-11 is erroneous. It's a war, people, young men and women die. It happens. The solution is to send all politicians to the front lines on both sides to fight it out, it would be very quick And one more thing... it is a nasty habit of the unthinking rightwinger to assume that since our Republican President ordered it, it must be the right thing to do.

I ditto most of that, and I respect the heck outta you, Jim, for stating it as clearly as you did. And I agree that we should do everything in our power to rid the world of WMDs, especially the biggest stockpile in the world... ours. But I also understand the need for a deterrent.. it's tough, and it's why I'm not a diplomat. I'm not sure I can support the President in the war on Iraq, but I can't fault people that do. And since we're already there, we might as well do it right and finish it. Thanks for the opportunity to say all this, coacht, and thanks for giving me something to respect, Jim. Trying to find my way in a rough world, Bjorn J Gislason (Kendren)

Don't mean to sound pessimistic, but I just hope it doesn't rain. Sloppy fields are no fun But yeah, I agree with the 7-0 prediction, just hope it doesn't get ugly and nobody gets hurt. GO both sides!

Did we invade Japan? Are you saying we need to nuke people we think responsible for 9-11? Then Iraq is off the list, and our "ally" Saudi Arabia is gonna glow in the dark, and you'll pay $15.00 for a gallon of gas.

That's just good radio. Yes, that's a rule, but come on, it's Fidel Castro. Get over it. That was beautiful.

I do believe I can wholeheartedly agree with this statement. It's very much going to come down to party lines, nobody seems to be inspired by either candidate right now (with the exception of dandy, possibly). Speaking of dandy, I take exception with one comment made in this thread.. logical choice? Since when does logic have anything to do with politics?

That's the most specious argument I've ever heard (meaning the previous Baldcoach post). We elect people to make EXACTLY those kinds of decisions. I don't favor war with N. Korea, or anybody else for that matter, but if that decision had to be made, MAKE IT. Don't shy away cause "We might lose". Wah. Plan so that we don't. I'm in a bad mood today, and that comment about not doing that bothered me. Nothing personal But that's one thing I do greatly spect about our current president... when the time came, by God, he made the tough choices.

Uhm... red... are you SURE it's the working? *runs away from the wrath*

That's an awfully composed looking woman to have just birfed a 9lb. 2oz. boy... she's a tough one. Congrats, jim, your family is beautiful.

And Republicans just can't find what in Iraq again? I'm so scatterbrained sometimes... how's about we try to come together? Not "You come to my side, or forget it", let's try to meet in the middle. Oh, wait, everybody already thinks they're in the middle. Maybe we need another armed revolution in this country. It's been 230 years, it's probably time.

Goose, check our website, www.hive105.com, I got current schedule and scores up there... as for winning teams, I don't know other records, they lost to Webb 2-1, hard fought game... they showed very well in Nashville over the weekend, too... come see it, it's gonna be entertaining.

Good question, he should have weighed in by now. And I think the predictions have been remarkably steady, either 3-1 Oneida or 1-0 Kingston... so by that, if Oneida scores, they win! But I think everybody agrees Kingston is good enough to score at home against Oneida, it's whether they can hold down Oneida's scoring threats. Day's good, I grant that, but he's not superman, even David Seaman got beat now and then. I still say Oneida 3-1. C'mon, Kazam, we're waiting on ya!

I think this comes down to who gave him the beer. If it was gf's mom/family, oh boy, look out. As for Coors, I'll wager my hat that they were named as a defendant because the gf and her mom don't have much money, and the suing lawyer HAD to find someone with money to make this worth his/her while This will be a quick, expensive win for Coors, but the gf may be in large trouble... but you can't get blood out of a turnip, so boy's momma may be outta luck. Should have taught your kid not to drink and drive, honey.

It's apparently a touchier subject than I ever would have thought it would be. I don't condone it as an official, but I also acknowledge that there are situations where you should just let it ride. Talk to the kid, but just let it go the first time. NEVER would I let "20 words a game" ride, in my wildest dreams. If you're doing that, move up to college exclusively, becuase all you're doing as a ref is corrupting the high school level. Let college kids who are bigger than you cuss at you, but stop the high schoolers before it gets out of hand. Referees are given authority over sportsmanship issues for a reason. Exercise common sense, and keep control of what's going on out there.

Nah, it doesn't upset me. All are entitled to their opinion... yes, they have Day is goal, but this is also the same team that lost to LC 4-1... it'll certainly be interesting. And the movie is a classic, what's not to love about it? Even if the versions they show on TBS cut out the best parts (SHERRY! Woo! And the Mitch kissing scene... great stuff).

No, Oneida winning wasn't the shocker, doing it by 2 at kingston is the shocker part of that

Here are the various theories for why that I've heard. !. Oil/Halliburton/Evil Oil Empire... you saw that one. 2. Al Queda links between them and Iraq - Not brought up much, mainly because as far as I know, nothing was proven that Hussein had any direct hand in 9-11. 3. Bush vendetta - Also, nothing conclusively proven, much speculation that Bush was going to invade no matter if 9-11 happened or not. Probably true to a small point, but not enough to make a man go this far to "get" one man. 4. Expansion of war on terror to take out "bad people" - IMO, the most likely. The Administration honestly felt like Saddam was a global evil (as he certainly was), and felt it was perfectly within their Rules of Engagement to oust him. Really, though, as far as I can see, we really don't know why we went, just what politicians are saying. There may never be a clear, understandable reason why that is free of "Yeah, but..." speculation. I'm sure this didn't really help, and there are other theories, but that's what I know.
