I did read your post.  It's why I got it!  Others have tried to assist me, but haven't met with the success you did on your first try. 

[Pat Coleman]

Right. That's because I didn't assist you as much as I logged in as an admin and did it for you.

I told him how a week ago but he just doesn't listen well.

Last year I taught scottie so I thought anyone could do it. Guess I was wrong.

Shoot! There goes that great feeling of accomplishment I was riding...

[Mr. Ypsi]

Pat, don't be too hard on blu - he's from Texas, he can't help it!

Sounds like "Feeling of Accomplishment" shattered a cornet on the back stretch.

Those Texas Instruments machines with vacuum tubes aren't always compatible with the internet. Ever think about upgrading to the 1990s.

I'm picturing something more like John Candy at Wally World.....

 from Blu:  "The coaching staff is bringing in the players it needs, and raising the bar.  The administration and fans are sensing it, and raising their commitment to match.  This is how programs grow.  Blueboy Nation was born.  It's in its adolescence.  The MWC will know when it comes of age.......Because next year, I know the Blueboys will want your support when they carry the conference banner."  

Sounds to me like you're expressing a little more than 'reason for optimism'.  Maybe temper your enthusiasm was a wrong choice of words to use, because I'm sure I'll be a proud dad, too, when my kids are college-age...but my initial question remains the same - every school has gone through new coaches who have all the enthusiasm in the world, but in the end the results just aren't there.

I am assuming that you either have attended, or are attending, MC.  If accurate, that you were unable to glean the obvious tongue-in-cheek intent in my conference championship banner statement, makes me glad my son chose an IC education over MC...    This is further evidenced in the fact that your "initial question" isn't so much a question as it is a statement.  Me thinks the IC English department might coulda learned ya better, son.  As for your initial choice of words, well, that's the final nail in that coffin.  

My apologies to MC fans, players, staff, students, alumni, and administration.  I realize that it's an excellent institution, and I am painting with way too broad a brush.  I just couldn't pass on the shot...

When/if Cornell comes back to the MWC.

Don't let them back in.

Dude, I gave ya a +k just for the name alone!  Awesome!

[fightingscots13]

Tell you what, Blu - you keep drinkin' the IC kool-aid and we'll see you next year when the conference predictions come out.

It's off to the hoops board, where my MC tone isn't quite as positive...
