josh,

But i can't smite yet!   
Otherwise I'd smite the smite-needing and reward the victomized

Warren, no there is not a problem among the players, its just my opinion that when you have so many starters that are freshman and sophmores that it is hard for a new recruit to want to come knowing he is probably going to sit the bench for a couple of years before he gets a chance, and with the cost of going to TLU being what it is it is hard for future good players to stick around. Unlike DI where they are on are getting their education paid for, and I know this is just not a TLU problem and it happens to all DIII schools, it is just that TLU is so young up and down the roster.

That's awfully Robin-Hoodish of you, umhb8904!

And since I'm down again, I think I'll use dballa's last post as a way of looking at the issue--like a golf score.  The lower the better, eh?   8)

[Warren Thompson]

OK eagle. Thanks for the clarification ....

[dballa]

Josh in that case, sthrncwby is the Tiger Woods of the ASC

[Josh Bowerman]

Eagle--

Not to overstate the problem--because I agree with you that DIII tuition is expensive--but TLU and the rest of the ASC are pretty darn close to the cheapest you can get when talking about DIII schools and private higher education.  There are a lot of schools up where I live and work that the comprehensive fee (tuition, room, board, books, etcetera) is over $30,000 per year.  TLU looks pretty good at the roughly $24,000 they're charging compared to that!

Your rationale, IMO, is a more appropriate arguement against public schools being lumped in with privates at our level.  There, for in-state students, the disparity really gets hammered home.

[Josh Bowerman]

Hehehehe--good one, dballa!

I don't know how to set up a poll on here but do want to ask, and i know it's not football related so don't blast me for asking:

Who is going to win the World Series this year?

I think it will be a very low scoring series with the White Sox winning in 6 even though I'm pulling for the Astros

[Pat Coleman]

Thanks for bringing up the chatter. I wouldn't have noticed the karma bandit in our midst without it.

That poster's karma privileges have been revoked. He had 22 smites and one applaud in the past 12 hours.

Can I fantasize? Astros in 7 with Roger Clemens pitching a complete game 1-hitter in game seven for the 1-0 Houston win (Off Bagwell's 9th inning two out homerun) and for the series MVP. 

And I'm not even a Houston fan

[Toby Taff]

Thanks Pat!

To any Prof that might be reading this wondering why I'm posting and not in class. . .

I'm sitting in front of the computer, waiting by the phone because my wife had a blowout coming back from Temple between Hamilton and Comanche and I was trying to work out the logistics of her getting a tire ot come home on.  She just called and is now on the road to Abilene

Big ups to Pat for crossing the 10,000 post plateau.  How do we all look from up there in that lofty territory?

I prefer Vijay Singh.  I can feel the Karma dropping.
