Reghi has always pronounced it that way. He gets corrected every game, but I think he just like to have fun with it at this point. Reghi! Irie mon!Obeah Reghi

That would be the definition of Clutch.lol Cavs take notice

Personally, there is a part of me that is very disappointed that Akron wont go through the Flusherz. Of course, if they don't win, they don't belong here, so Que Sera Sera, but how righteously satisfying would it have been to gone through and whooped them in the tourney?

D'oh!

That's amazing body preperation for a running back. Did he run out of the hand-stand?

Time to recover is just as important as the actual lifting. Maybe they're focusing more on conditioning than strength, to create athletes instead of hulking monstrosities that get tired easily.Time to recover is very very important if you lift heavy and you do other forms of conditioning at other times of the week... unless of course you are steroids or something illegal that reduces your recovery periods. If I am not mistaken, most football players generally focus on power movements over pure strength routines. Power being the combinationation of strength at a functioning speed. The last thing you need to do in the off season is overtrain. Recouperation periods are vital.

This would seem to support the nudge concept.... however, the problem I have with it is that all the people who end up saying "I never signed up to be a Rowdy. They tricked me!" I mean, don't you want people who are actually interested?

Maybe it's because MAC fans don't read the big media sensationalist rags that only occasionally show a symbolic and passing interest in the MAC, and the real fans stick to places that have a genuine focus on the MAC and offer real information.If I want to read about the Browns, I might read Pluto. Maybe...When I think zips, I instantly think ZN.O.Don't blame me for not associating you with the zips, Pluto. That's your fault.Don't blame me for not taking your slant seriously. That's your fault.If you occasionally throw a beaten dog a bone, the dog likes the bone, not you.

Please do not feed the GP1.BTW, (ref: link) I don't think this would ever happen.64 big-time media-soaking programs garnering the nation's sports attention would further separate the disparity between them and the remaining programs. Even the top programs don't want this. They need a large pool of chumps to stand on as their foundation. What you gain from hyping up the big programs you lose plus-more from the larger pool spread out everywhere. The Olympics wouldn't be a world fascination if it was just the 20 riches nations that were invited. The NCAA (or whatever their top tier programs will be called) do not want to alienate everyone else. They are the Proletariat who must be given the illusion of upward mobility.

once servitude becomes involuntary, it's slavery. we'll have it here eventually.At some point, you will be mandated to work or serve the public in the U.S in order to do your part for all the government programs (if you don't make enough to pay for them in taxes). Since the taxes and/or the mandate to serve will both be involuntary, I call it slavery.

jankoski is funny, but his level of disfunctional incoherance cannot rival Boom goes teh Dynamite... a video which you should post yours as a response to.

Understood... however, the question was brought up about how RP would have dealt with slavery, and that was to buy out slave contracts and then make slavery illegal. However, my (quite limited recollection and) assumption was that the civil war was really fought to keep the southern states from succeeding. The reason they wanted succession was to force their right to keep slaves. So, simply declaring slavery illegal would not necessarily have stopped the war (and all the lives and expenses incurred). That was my only point.

lol maybe it will really go viral. I kinda wish we had some more akron stuff to throw in there. The only thing I got is my very-slow Infocision time-lapse vid.

that sort of divisive interpretation is often not as unintentional as it might appear.... but alas, that's politics.Regardless, if that is his theory, I have to ask whether he would have allowed to the south to leave the Union as well, since fighting succession may have had more to do with the war than abolition.

I believe that is true, more or less depending on which line about conservatism you get. Please provide some testimony to support this assertion.I'm no big ron paul guy, though I have heard a few of his speeches about government finances and debt and I find him much more appealing that most of the reps and dems I hear. In the limited exposure to Ron Paul that I have, I have never heard anything remotely hinting to such a radical view on slavery or execution. This right here is why most topic related communities don't allow political topics. Can you disagree with people without being so flagrantly insulting?

My biggest problem with most sports announcers on television is one that I know is not going to change. It's the CONSTANT talking. It wont change because the networks all operate under premise that there is a portion of the audience who will not retain attention if someone isn't talking to them, the even though you can see what is happening.That said, I don't mind the play by play, because even though I can see what is happening, it's pretty inane and harmless to hear someone call it out.I also don't mind so much when announcers give some color commentary in the following ways, such as the state of the players and teams, why some people are playing and some aren't, background and history, tid-bits right out of the team media guide, or even accounts and information from player interviews....but what I can't stand is the (subjective) game analysis, commentary, and opinionation! Okay, I understand that you might just know more about the game than me, or perhaps your powers of observation and deduction could even be better than mine, since after all you are getting paid to do this, but don't care to have you harp continuously on the fact that the game was lost in the trenches, or that one team spend 56% of the time in the other teams backfield and 9 times out of 10 they are going to lose because of it.I know that there isn't always something going on down on the field or court to call, and I know these guys are never going to shut up. I just wish they could check their ego at the booth door and stop trying to impress people with their analysis.[/rant]thanx for the topic

I know ron paul is a republican, but I don't know how you call him "conservative".Maybe it's because conservative pundits like rush limbaugh have been paying lip service to libertarian ideals like "smaller less intrusive government" for the purpose of trying to bring them into the republican tent so they can push their big government practices.When conservatives try to lay claim to libertarian ideals, this is a part of the problem we have today because people get confused into thinking that conservatives really want less government. With a national debt that will be economically punitive to our future at best, and at worst will probably result in a complete collapse. Two parties who appear to fight on many issues, but each of which grow government, it's powers, and it's responsibilities, at ever turn. Ron Paul in 2008 was the last chance. I don't even care anymore. It's done. Stick a fork in the old Bill of Rights.

Okay, let me get this straight.You have a problem with "lack of control"?Yet..... you appear to be griping about suspensions, which is an indication that policy is being enforced, or at least that anarchy is not going to prevail.Right? First off, let me just say that, philosophically speaking, and sociologically as well, control is an illusion.However, in the sense of maintaining discipline, a suspension is not only an indication that something went wrong, it is also inherently an indication that something is being done to correct it. Since players are human beings and not robots on remote control, no coach is "in control" so to speak. Now, to be fair, I think that what you are suggesting is that KD is being heavy handed, and the suspensions are unwarranted?

As an administrator of another (non-sports) community, I can tell you that the issue of free speech vs. moderation is often brought under scrutiny.Aside from the more obvious areas of hate-speech, blatant trolling, public safety, and the personally directed insults and slander, most of the issues that come up fall within a large gray area. When it comes to moderating people's opinions, well, I just don't like to do it, even when opinions can be so strongly disagreeable to most, the whole point of a "forum" is for a discussion to occur among people with differing perspectives. What it usually comes down to for me is a (obviously and unfortunately) subjective valuation of "intent". If someone's intent appears more so to provoke offense or to personally insult, and less so to actually communicate a topic related opinion, then I am willing to take action. However, the gray-area phenomenon gets somewhat controversial among members who decided to judge "intent" differently than I, or my staff, do.All that said, I think my point is that it should be up to every website owner and staff to determine for themselves how to moderate. Not every site should be the same, and while there are always going to be members who disagree with moderation style (one direction or the other) and you are never going to make everyone happy, the staff only need to conscientiously try to stay consistent and true to their own ideals. ...blah blah blah... I didn't mean to ramble so much. I think ZN does a nice job of allowing opinion to be heard and debated. Sometimes people don't like other people's opinions, and sometimes they even take offense to them. Opinions are like arseholes. Everyone's got one, they are often offensive, and you can't take them away.

lol, there's nothing like (being a lush) and pounding beers before the game, then getting the dryup gitters while the product of the field fails to comfort you, only to need (being a lush) to drown your sorrows several hours later.

...and the kewl thing about it is that you wouldn't even need a dedicated tower with a huge amp. The big investment is the fact that you got to conform to the new FCC high def broadcasting, and so you can't just use old equipment for that. But the point is to get a slot on all of the regional cable and satellite spectrums, because that's what most people are using anyway.Then you can use students to fill most of the broadcast time. Good for the university, good for the students who want into TV, good for getting our athletics on TV, and good for the community.

the push in campus bookstores is to push universities and professors into a collusion so that students are forced to pay $175 for a book that would otherwise cost $39.95 under other circumstances.Relatively speaking, there's no money in sports merchandise.

fouls under the basket in basketball are the most subjective calls in any sport, in my opinion.Even the elusive strike zone can be argued and debated by those watching more definitively (though not contested by the players).I believe that calls down there are so subjective, if you were a dirty ref you could almost completely control a game. A few charges on one end, and a few blocks on the other, and one team gets the message to go timid while the other team knows they can be aggressive, and there is nothing anyone can do about it but complain. No amount of video analysis will make the ref look bad.

lul, what does that say about the media if it has replaced "the gods".[/orwell]
