  1. 23x4....the cumulative IQ of the folks in the picture??? .....
  2. Bernie didn't go willingly. The fact that he got a Superbowl ring, is a totally different situation than how LeBum is leaving town.
  3. Since it appears that you are an expert on those topics, why don't you start one.
  4. Z-P nailed it. My son is just about to start his 5th year of youth football. The most serious injuries if have seen were caused by large piles and limbs being twisted and fallen on. The equipment and the rules prevent almost any highspeed collisions. His helmets fit his head like a glove and the shoulder pads really do work to prevent injuries.
  5. Look here if you are his friend.
  6. Check this out. I like what read on his page. Apparently what ever he said was not for public consumption. Its blocked from view. Please let us know what he said.
  7. I want the real CK back! Did Zach hijack you login?
  8. I found it interesting that the coach didn't mention Josh's teammate Henninger when he talked about the warrior attitude that led them to the title. He mentioned the other key players, but not Henninger.
  9. I'm not usually a fan of Bill Livingston, the sports columnist for the PD, but I think his column today nails it for me. For LeBron James, there is no winning exit strategy in free agency: Bill Livingston
  10. He's closer to 30 than you are to 50! No, I'm talking about Jammal. D.I.G. is older than dirt!
  11. Hey, he's closer to 40 than I am!
  12. I remember that play. It was just another of the remarkable plays that Jammal made during his Zips career. I got to know Jimmal pretty well after his playing days at UA. I haven't seen him for a few years now. I wonder if he still has any hops left in those legs? It appears that he is still going strong at close to 40 years old. He still is playing in France and averaged over 24 minutes per game. http://www.eurobasket.com/player.asp?Cntry...p;PlayerID=6542
  13. Dan had a new job within weeks of his contract not being renewed. Head Strength & Conditioning Coach It was actually a blessing for Dan and his family, as they are now closer to their families. Both Dan and his wife are natives of Nebraska.
  14. If your gonna post this crap, at least post it in the correct forum. http://zipsnation.org/forums//index.php?showforum=7
  15. I didn't change a thing since the last time I tried to access ZNO and I am no longer getting the security warning. Win XP and IE8.
  16. +1 .. one of your better ones. Though I think there's several people that would find their way to the ledge before me.
  17. Well, in part this is a perceptive statement on GP's behalf. After a quarter-century of liberalism and neo-liberalism (from both parties, but especially the GOP), Democrats have been shaken awake by the grassroots of their party to realize that the gap between rich and poor is the greatest it has been in over a century of wealth and opportunity maldistribution. The last time that inequality was this great, we had a progressive era (led in part by that icon of Republicans, Teddy Roosevelt), and a populist movement that was brutally opposed by fed troops. But on the other hand, one of my favorite (comedic) statements from American "conservatives" is the deadpan remark, "The US is a center-right nation". Well of course it is dummy! There are only two political parties allowed in the US, one in the center, and one on the right! America will change if and when it is permitted to have a full political spectrum, instead of two thirds of one. And don't get me wrong, I'm not personally a supporter of "left-of-center" (by international standards) politicians. But, the influence and impact of having the involvement of a real left would be huge. Even a "tiny" and relatively irrelevant left-of-center party like the New Democrats puts Canada to the left of the US, even though their other two parties are center (Liberals) and right (Tories). This lack of a "real left" is what allows out-of-this-world rhetoric like calling middle-of-the-road Democrats, like the current POTUS the 'S' word. The other effect of that is to legitimize some of the elements of the far left who are often as loony as their opponents on the Tea Party right. That would make for a good routine on Comedy Central. After all, thats where most of the left gets their talking points.
  18. I'm in. Let me know when I'm on the tee!
  19. That falls right in line with their new policy of, whoever shows us the money first, gets all the perks. Loyalty means nothing, just show me the money.
  20. I remember those days also. I figured this out years ago, all that matters for the bozos who run things, is what are you doing for them now. What you did in the past is meaningless. There is no sense of history. Just because you've been a loyal supporter for 30-40 years, unless you meet their expectations for this year, you are nothing to them. When they told me that I had to donate $5000 to be able to purchase a basketball parking pass for a lot I had been parking in for 20 years, I responded in kind. I dropped my lower reserve seats that cost me $3600($2000Z-Fund) and went with upper level for $800. Net loss to UA of $2800 over a parking space. And all this happened before TW, so its not just him.
  21. Japan, so whats your point? If we continue to follow in their path, the USA will soon be with them. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100519/bs_af...apaneconomydebt
  22. ZW, you should submit your photo for the front cover of the 2010 media guide. Looks like he's taunting you guys to me!
  23. This is similar to what happened to Basketball parking a few years ago. As a long time season ticket holder, I was able to purchse a parking pass in lot #8 for $100. Then some brain surgeon decided that to get access to that lot, you had to make a minimum $5000 donation to the Z-Fund. I don't know about you guys, but the idea of paying $5000 for a parking pass didn't seem like such a good investment to me. So instead I pay nothing to park now and use the parking deck. It appears that quite a few other longtime ticket holders felt the same way, because the lot is mostly empty now for games. I probably would have agreed to $200 or maybe even $300, but now they get $0 from me and many others. I parked in lot #13 last year and to me its not as conducive to tailgating as #9, but hey I'm not some highpowered "professional" at athletic event planning.
  24. They should know. Between working at Hooters during the lunch rush and The Doll House from 7-1, those girls make a ton of money. There were 6 customers and 7 girls working at 12:30 to 1:45 pm on April 12th. I left a decent tip, but if they have to split that, it ain't goin' too far. . You were there in the off season for Myrtle Beach. Most golfers are done by then and its too early for the tourists, school is still in session.
  25. Like I said in another thread, track and field coaches are the biggest gamers I have ever seen in any sport. Always looking for obscure rules violations or anyhting else that may give them an advantage. The officials were the biggest %^&*'s also.
