  1. A guy named "bookstabber" wrote a book? Oh, the irony.
  2. I LOVE FINLEY. Really, the guy is a beautiful receiver. He needs to work on his blocking, but he's tall, fast, has good hands, and made people miss.
  3. Bump
  4. He started EVERY SINGLE GAME after becoming a starter during his freshman year, up until he injured his wrist. How the !@#$ does that = not being able to stay healthy?
  5. The problem with picking Marquette to beat Texas, is that Marquette wins by doing the following things: - Force lots of turnovers - Play an up-tempo game - Likes to score in the backcourt. For each thing they like to do, that is a strength of Texas. Texas: - Turns the ball over the least amount of times of ANY team in the NCAA. - Is comfortable playing an up-tempo game. - Plays a 2-3 zone.
  6. "I don't actually believe what I'm saying, I'm just saying it to say it" The mark of a true moron.
  7. Everyone you know is abnormal, duh.
  8. Once again, you are taking your own experience, and extrapolating it to EVERYONE ELSE. Newsflash: Not everyone is a clone of you (thank friggin God).
  9. Thanks for PROVING MY POINT AGAIN. You don't have a strong educational background, do you?
  10. You didn't even READ them, because I didn't link them, because you don't have access. Conjecture because you keep trying to assume stuff about all women, people on this board, etc. See, you proved my point right here: Here's something thats not conjecture: You're a douche.
  11. A lot of that comes from what happened in Saudi Arabia, with American troops being stationed there in '90, and America being viewed as a non-Islamic occupying force by him. I think the most important long-term strategy is to not repeat the mistake of becoming an occupying force (or, at least, what is viewed as an occupying force, as the way we are viewed is more important than what we are actually doing). An interesting book by Robert Pape (Univ of Chicago Prof) has an analysis of suicide terrorism dating back to 1980, and comes to the conclusion that being viewed as an occupying force leads to terrorism. Of course, even if we were to pull completely out of the middle east now, we would still have the current generation of terrorists to deal with. However, its absolutely necessary to remove the incentive to become a terrorist in the first place. I think that the portrayal of suicide terrorists as simply crazy fanatics is a bit silly. Not that these people aren't nutty (attacking civilians, etc), but there is a reason they use the tactics that they do. Suicide terrorism is a logical, strategic weapon. A large majority of suicide attacks since 1980 have NOT been Muslim attacks. This is one fundamental reason why I disagree with the way the GWOT has been fought. Overthrowing countries like Iraq has the potential to help us short-term (and even in the long-term, by allowing us to work with their intelligence community and government better), but I think the long-term effects of occupying the country are more dangerous than the potential gains from it.
  12. Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever use Zogby. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/20...t/national.html
  13. Not at all. There are two teams that I think will play us to close games in the bracket are Memphis and Stanford. I think we can take Pitt.
  14. Bump
  15. Seemed like it to me - like you were pissed that she was "standing up" for Simon.
  16. Now you're attacking Lori for no reason?
  17. THIS WAS YOUR ARGUMENT. Christ, stop putting it in other people's mouths. Once again, your posts are NOTHING but fallacies, conjecture, and speculation.
  18. I'm not discounting that they are a good basketball team - they are. I am saying that their lack of playing tough opponents down the stretch could easily come back to bite them in the ass against a team like Pittsburgh or Texas.
  19. Blarg. Too many damned negatives.
  20. I nominate tgreg99 for the Sit On You guy.
  21. Right, but my point was that there are several successful teams who have that kind of cash tied up in two WRs.
  22. If you're shocked about something, then likely your mind has been changed in some fashion...
