  1. Johns started spring semester, the rest of new players reported in early June. Freshman have to live in dorms (they are in them already for summer stuff) & after your freshman year you can live in house just off campus. NCAA schollies have changed significantly, Freshman & players who live in dorm have all expenses covered for education, room & board & food plus a few hundred a month for other expenses. If you elect after your freshman year to live off campus you lose the room & board & food part of your schollie & instead of a few hundred a month for expenses you get a little over 1k a month for your expenses. Hope that answers your ? They did 3 weeks of conditioning & lifting in June. I don't think coaches are allowed to coach during this time but coach Sleeve & his group work them pretty hard & from my understanding the upperclassmen lead drills on the football field. They are in summer 1 classes, they were off the football grind last week & returned this week. This week is the last week of summer 1 classes. In August camp starts & it is an all day job. i know some of the local players from coaching in area and always ask a bunch of ?'s when I see them around.

  2. We don't have to. It doesn't matter. Your rights stop when they impede upon the rights of others. Your right to swing your arms stops just before my nose. If you hold a religious belief, that's find. If your religious belief leads you to enacting laws that impact me, or business practices that impact me, or anyone, you don't have that right. Sorry. Don't like it, there's fundamentalist countries out there that practice one religion you can move to. This country, however, was founded as a secular nation with a separation between church and state (to protect religions from other religions...like the Church of England being connected to government etc.). I disagree with you that being gay is a choice, because it's not backed by science. Studies on gay populations hints to a complex codominant sex-linked recessive trait (appearing more in males...heterozygous females showing "bi" characteristics considerably higher than males etc...) But even if it were a choice, religion is also a choice. Does that mean a store owner has the right to deny service to a non-christian because it's their sincerely held religious belief? But it's a choice isn't it? Oh wait...we actually have a law preventing that? But I thought it was a choice...and we can discrinate against people by the choices they make... The accrobatics you guys have to do to justify this asinine horse crap public policy is just sad. We should just not discriminate against people period. Especially in things that aren't our business. If you have sincerely held religious beliefs, that's fine. But you're sincrely held religious beliefs stop when they potentially interfere with other people. If you don't like that, don't live in America. Because that's what FREEDOM is. Freedom to not give a rat's ass about your beliefs, or be inconvenienced or impeded by them. I won't impede on your right to hold them, so long as you're not impeding on the rest of us.

  3. Not disputing the election results. Trump won fair and square. Just stating there are still more liberals in this country than there are conservatives. Stating otherwise is wrong.

  4. I'm confident in Amato's ability to come up with a good game plan. I have 0 faith we have the Jack and Joe's to execute it to the level we'd need to.

  5. Why is he against gay marriage marriage, but has no problem with people getting married a second or third time? What makes gay marriage so bad, but remarriage not? "You shall not commit adultery" is one of the 10 commandments. Luke 16:18 states remarrying is committing adultery. At one point in time getting divorced and remarrying was viewed a shameful act. Eventually people wised up and realized that was dumb and now it's a very common occurrence. The same will happen with gay marriage because each new generation it more tolerant than their parents. Your generation was more accepting than your parents and my generation is more accepting than yours. People like Glynn Wolfe, who was married 29 times, do more to destroy the meaningfulness of marriage than 2 gay people. I just used it as an example. There are plenty of other examples. The restaurant in Texas, the pizza parlor in Indiana, now the adoption agencies in Alabama, etc... "Again, just go down the street and buy a cake from a business that wants your business. That's what all of us do. Instead, they contacted the Civil Rights Commission, and the ACLU eventually got involved. We all know what happens at that point." Based off that statement are you okay if we back to the days of businesses refusing service based off skin color or nationality too? My problem is people use religion as an excuse to discriminate. They pick and choose parts of the bible to follow that conveniently fit their lifestyle than turn a blind eye to the rest.

  6. Mixing two threads with one response (9100 attendance) I sure hope we are milking Jason's NFL HOF induction while he is 30 minutes away. I wonder if students even know he is UA alum. Great player, good looking, well spoken.........USE IT!!! Build a f*&%ing statue of him at the stadium.

  10. I just feel that the word "elevated" seems so inadequate to describe the rise that we experienced. "Yuuuuuge" seems much more appropriate.
