Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!

Dear Lex:
Apparently, the USNA is in a bit of trouble; the academy delayed urine testing on a number of players who were suspected of using steroids, and waiting until enough time had elapsed so that the stuff wouldn’t show up.
A couple of congressmen are calling for an investigation into it. Will this affect the game in a couple of weeks?
rpl – Do you have a link to that?
You mean Auburn-Alabama, Lex?
Harvard v. Yale, a game for the ages.
Babs:
The story was written in the Baltimore Sun on November 16.
Ohio State vs U of Michigan?
Bought a new house in Ann Arbor (home of U of MI) and moving day was Sat. Movers showed up on time (at $122 per hour) and wouldn’t you know, they were done right at 3:30 – just in time for kick off. Football, the great motivator. Pro’ly saved me a hundred bucks or more…great game too – 42-39 OSU.
You were talking about the Virginia Tech (VPI for the ol’ timers)/Wake Forest game, right? And yes, it certainly was good!
Of course he meant Auburn – Alabama. What other game could he possibly mean.
Roll Tide!!!
It was a drill weekend, so I had to endure the OSU fans since I drill at WPAFB (including two guys in the unit who are USNA grads, but grew up in Ohio, and were thus indoctrinated with the OSU hatred for Michigan). Felt good to get home last night (I live in a township right next to Ann Arbor)…but the whole area is in a somber mood. Big memorial at the Big House tomorrow for Bo…
