Click this subject line to minimize if you don't want to read about the Civil War. This is really just for Lycurgus anyway.
Continued from prior thread because this is what Hamsterdam is for.
All in all, there were and always will be some rational folks down there. The secessionists were in the minority all through the Mid-South and even in some parts of the Deep South (And of the original Deep South states who first seceded, many had incredibly fraudulent, On The Waterfront-style votes, Georgia especially) until the CSA government attacked Sumter because they knew that that was their only way to get Tennessee, North Carolina, and, most importantly, Virginia to their sides. It was a risk, but a calculated one, and it worked for them in the short term.
Here’s some virtual graveyard created a descendant of Deep South bluecoats.
And, here, this is for you. A quote from Governor Pickens of South Carolina, one month before Lincoln was inaugurated. This was after the Southerners seized many Federal installations (Check the Official Records of the War of the Rebellion for more details) the South Carolinians fired upon the Star of the West (Anderson did not return fire) and after the South Carolinians accidentally fired upon Fort Sumter (Anderson did not return fire and the greycoats formally apologized for the incident), so on and so forth. Man, I really had Mike in that disjointed debate, I just didn’t know it. Civil War Talk has been great for my learning, and I want to thank the gentlemen who have taken the time to post so many choice pre-war letters from the Official Records.
If peace can be secured, it will be by the prompt use of the occasion, when the forces of the United States are withheld from our harbor. If war can be averted, it will be by making the capture of Fort Sumter a fact accomplished during the continuance of the present administration, and leaving to the incoming administration the question of an open declaration of war. Such a declaration, separated, as it will be, from any present act of hostilities during Mr. Lincoln’s administration, may become to him a matter requiring consideration. That consideration will not be expected of him, if the attack on the fort is made during his administration, and becomes, therefore, as to him, an act of present hostility. Mr. Buchanan cannot resist, because he has not the power. Mr. Lincoln may not attack, because the cause of the quarrel will have been, or may be, considered by him as past.
But Lincoln totally started it, dude!

Between two swings, and he went from 598 career HRs to 600. Amazing.

I especially enjoyed the part where the Twins announcer bitched for the entire at bat
about how the national media spooged all over themselves to cover Jeter’s 3000th hit and you don’t hear a peep about Thome’s 600th hr, which is a much more rare feat. You know that several producers at ESPN were sitting there with pissed off looks on their face just glad that no one is actually watching baseball right now.

broadcasting it on ESPN? I was just on FSN North. Bert bitching was making me laugh. I completely neglected to think that it’d be televised nationally.
Haha I love a good ESPN-fuck-you.
Yeah, ESPN cut away from the SF v ATL game to show the at-bat.
I wonder if Bert knew that/when ESPN cut-in because he immediately started his rant.

What’d you think about the Delmon trade?
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Wait, the Twins traded Delmon? To who?
"No I'm not going to 'limber up'. You ever see a lion stretching before it takes down a gazelle?"
The Tigers.
He proceeded to hit an HR on his first swing after taking 4 pitches from Liriano.
Thus, turning all conceptions from this season in Minnesota on their head.
That's some fierce trolling there, Delmon.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Well done, twinkies.
Another in a series of fuck ups this season.
"No I'm not going to 'limber up'. You ever see a lion stretching before it takes down a gazelle?"
Well, at least they can say they got something.
Otherwise his contract was up at the end of the year, and we probably would’ve let him walk, right? Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
They probably like the outfield of Span, Revere and Kubel
"No I'm not going to 'limber up'. You ever see a lion stretching before it takes down a gazelle?"
It does clear some of the logjam out of the outfield.
With Morneau back and Mauer dabbling at first, you have to have somewhere to put Cuddyer, too. 5 outfielders isn’t ideal.
"No I'm not going to 'limber up'. You ever see a lion stretching before it takes down a gazelle?"
Or Revere Span Cuddyer.
Revere doesn’t have the arm to consistently play CF. Twins might have to deal with Plouffe, Revere, Kubel OF for a while if Cuddy continues to have neck problems and Span suffers from Sidney Crosby Syndrome.

George Brett Shit His Pants (my fantasy baseball team) just got a sneaky good deal in picking up Justin Morneau from free agency. Also, GBSHP has been streaking lately from 9th (last place) all the way to 3rd.

They got an A ball non prospect for a 25 year old former #1 overall.
Terrible deal. For that, just release him after the season.
That said, I’m thrilled I don’t have to watch him try and play left field anymore. What a butcher.
"There are no Pan Asian supermarkets down in hell, so you can't buy Golden Boy peanuts." - The Mountain Goats
Yeah, I thought it sounded like a pretty shitty deal.
But sadly par for the course with the Twins. The Twins GM should not be allowed to make trades.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
I can't be too hard on Smith.
I’ve got a contact with the organization that gets me the inside scoop, and Smith has done the best he could (especially on Santana, do not believe the reported offers on that situation).
"There are no Pan Asian supermarkets down in hell, so you can't buy Golden Boy peanuts." - The Mountain Goats
In hindsight, dealing Johan was genius.
"No I'm not going to 'limber up'. You ever see a lion stretching before it takes down a gazelle?"
Would have been even more genius if the first dance partner hadn't backed out.
My contact broke the news of a deal to me that the other team then backed out of. That was a glorious couple hours before I knew what happened.
"There are no Pan Asian supermarkets down in hell, so you can't buy Golden Boy peanuts." - The Mountain Goats
Still, the guy has pitched for what? A season and a half for the Mets?

Chris Johnson is refusing the Titans offer of becoming the NFL's highest paid RB
he wants more than any non-QB (and maybe DE) before ending his holdout.
What’s funny (for me as a Colts fan) is that since CJ is dumb as rocks, he could stick to his guns for a long ass time.

he's being offered quite a bit of money
DeAngelo Williams just got 5 years, 43mil with 21mil guaranteed, so the Titans have offered to top that, but CJ wants 13/mil a year.
It’s not paying him vs not. It’s paying him a semi-reasonable amount vs paying him so much even Al Davis will laugh at them.

I suppose there is a lot of truth in that.
But if ever a RB had earned a payday based on past performance, it’s him (and Petersen).

He was feast or famine last year. Granted, that was more because of defenses stacking the box against him too because of the shady QB situation, but he’s only really had one phenomenal year.
"Don't talk about me like I'm not here!" Shelby

He's been in the league for 3 years
and gotten 250+ carries in each season, including 350+ two years ago and averaged 5.0 ypc over those 3 seasons. All the while playing alongside a laughably poor supporting cast. Seriously, Vince Young was his QB for many of those games.

The man has been a workhorse and has been paid peanuts thus far for his efforts. At least AP was getting high first round money while being worked like a whore in church.

He had two seasons between 1200-1300 yards
And then the one 2000 yard season. I’m not saying that he doesn’t deserve a lot of $ and has been underpaid, but come on. Until he shows he can put up numbers anywhere near that freakish season, I question if anyone should pay him more than AP.

I’d never give a RB a long-term deal. The guy’s under contract right now. Play. And since he held out, he’s not eligible for free agency for 2 years. Anyone who gives a 5 year deal to a RB over 25 is dumb. Does it suck that CJ Spiller made more than Chris Johnson last year? Sure. But that doesn’t mean I’m giving him $50 million.
Also, are the Titans a playoff team this year? No. Next year? Maybe.

I had the same problem.
What I did to over come that problem, was get my QB up in coach trust (or whatever the fuck they call it) to the point where I could audible to a pass play. My poor running back rarely got the ball as I was intent on setting new records for passing yds and passing TD’s. My TE loved it as they set receiving yds records for Iowa and the NCAA.
Anywho, that is how you can overcome that.
The same goes for RB’s get to the point of where you can choose the play or another thing you can do is once a play is called that you like (run vs pass) then just do a no huddle and keep runnig the play.

What do you think about this?
I am teaching a class centered on a departmental seminar this semester and I need to come up with assignments. It is a one credit hour class that is also writing intensive (witness the ridiculousness of TTU). We meet each wednesday when an invited guest speaker gives a professional scientific talk. My thoughts are the following:
Each week at the beginning of class, two well crafted questions based on the speakers papers, website, and/or talk title are to be turned into me. (3 pts each)
Each week the student is to write a 750 word essay discussing some aspect (concept in discussion, method, etc.) of the talk. During the first three weeks these essays will graded leniently and feedback will be given. After the third week any spelling, grammatical, and structural errors will be cause for lost points. (15 pts each)
Twice during the semester the students will submit a 3-5 page paper describing a study from a scientific paper, critiquing the study, and describing a follow-up study that could test assertions made in the discussion of the original paper. This assignment will be critiqued, returned to the student, revised, and resubmitted as a final draft. (45 pts each: rough draft = 15 pts, final draft = 30 pts.)
What do you guys think?

just came across (ewww!) a quote from the Dalai Lama
The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity answered, "Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."

Sure, I guess my point is that there are lots of ways that character shows through. My simple belief is that people who tend towards kindness when dealing with people, known or unknown to them, are good people. Character in some respects is a lot about how your treat people that have nothing of value to offer you in return.

Things NCAA Football 12 has taught me
Iowa State is screwed even more than before.
TCF Bank stadium might not be a terrible location for college football.
Concussions are bad and all you youngsters out there feel free to sit out for the rest of the game if you get one.
I have the same fashion sense as Tom Arnold.
Yeah, the more I think about it
the more I think, “How the fuck did Minnesota not figure out years ago that on-campus venues work eleven billionty times better for college football? Fucking morons!”

Minnesotans care about the Vikings
not the gophers. They couldn’t afford a new football stadium, and nobody really cared. So they ended up in the dumpty dome.
"If you need a rah-rah speech at halftime, you’re playing the wrong sport." - Pat Angerer
Had they had an on-campus stadium that team would be immensely more popular right now.
In 10 years they’ll be on their way to the type of program that the only D1 school in a fairly sizable state with a pretty solid base of in-state football recruits every year should be. Minnesota is to football what Iowa is to basketball, lots of good in-state recruits populating other schools rosters.

Maybe
A lot depends on the Vikings. If they stick around they’ll be like Rutgers, if they have a good season, everybody will be fans. If not, nobody will care.
If the Vikings leave, Gopher football could get rather popular though.

I don't think
NFL teams care much at where they went to college. They’re looking for talent. Iowa apparently has a good rep for preparing guys in a professional way and those players not being knuckleheads, but that’s just a small part of it.
Everybody should have known that Sanders would be injury prone, he’s a smallish guy who flys around like a madman. They don’t last.

It worked for her. What is the last race Danica won? What’s the last commercial you saw her in? Since I already know the answer, I’ll mention that in today’s business environment she is ripe for more adverts as a result of you knowing about her previous one. Regardless of how she got there, it made her money, and she’s in line for even more money just by being in one (or several) of those stupid, whorish commercials.

That is just one way that you can see the difference between Iowa and Penn State's wrestling programs.
Seriously, we had a guy on our team get in trouble with the law for hunting down vermin outside of the practice facility. He walked out of the building and saw vermin and immediately went to his vehicle to get his f’n gun and hunt it down.
Penn State’s centerpiece has Bama bangs.
That is all.

We've had more than one incident.
There was the recent one that involved one of the coaches and there was one from a few years ago which is described above. It’s a pattern of behavior among our program. My friend who used to be in the program said that there was an unspoken competition to see who could show up to suit and tie events with the most backwoods get-up. They would literally wear Carhartts to black tie dinners.
It’s an attitude thing, not a home state thing.

Meh.

It’s never enough. You want more and more and more and more and you’re not satisfied with anything. You want more domination, more pins, more scoring, more offense, more crying opponents, more Minnesotans who are literally panting like a dog while being TFed by one of your wrestlers (Poor Matt Mincey), more 42-3 scores against Ohio State, more wins.
Wins. Fight. Try. Intense. Go. I’m not serious with a lot of this, but I am deadly serious about one thing: the nature of this sport, for me, is such that I wouldn’t be satisfied with anything except pure perfection. I love it. I absolutely love it. It’s remarkably addicting, more-so than even football, my first love.
Gable, Brands (Obvious desire to win), and Sanderson (Quiet desire to win) may seem like madmen to some. I am not part of that “some”, no, sir.

I'm with you 100%
I recently fell in love with the sport as well. For me, it took a friend who used to wrestle under Gable and Zalesky and took the time to explain the philosophies of the program and the differences between the two men. I, too, became addicted. I will say that I enjoy having another rival added to the Big Ten pot at Penn State but that absolutely does not mean that I have one single ounce of respect for Cael Sanderson.

Yeah, I could tell.
I don’t really care.
but that absolutely does not mean that I have one single ounce of respect for Cael Sanderson.
He has to earn respect from opposing fans (I, for instance, have much respect for Brands and much, much more than simple respect for Dan the Man). And I think he’s going to. But hatred is hatred, and I won’t clamor for respect. You do what feels right, no matter what. That’s what makes it fun.
