And you know this how?

Yes, it is unreasonable. And the bolded part above was totally unnecessary and uncalled for. 1) We all were "snot-nosed 20 year olds" at one point and 2) I like the students better than I do a lot of the bureaucrats I have to deal with around here. Believe that.

I disagree, the atmosphere would be electric.

It will probably sound a lot like this:

I know it's pure guessing, it's not like I am putting money on this.

Anybody but that Kelley handmaiden Thomas DiLorenzo.

You probably will make more progress banging your head against a wall.

Either that or they'll boycott the final vote. I think a lot of the Nodaks people hate Fighting Hawks more than Roughriders. Those that hate both equally will boycott.

I can live with Fighting Hawks, even if it isn't my first choice. My two no-no's were Sundogs and Nodaks.

I believe it is a make or break year for Jones.

I cannot dispute this point.

I am not in favor of mandatory voting at all, but people who choose not to vote shouldn't be complaining about results they do not like. That will happen here, I can almost guarantee it.

When have I called anybody names? Please find an example and I'll apologize right here, right now.

I hope Bush wins and gets a huge settlement out of this. Having to worry about slipping on concrete that should be covered up in the first place is not "part of the game" and shouldn't be allowed to happen anywhere. The NFL generates over $10 billion of revenue each year, so I don't want to hear "it's not feasible" or "we can't afford it". Fix it now and fix it permanently or this will happen again and again.

Well, it beat your choice, Nodaks, not once, but twice. And the margin was even bigger this time.

No, that is not what I am saying. I didn't say that. He did and now you are. I just get tired of people who abstain from voting and them complain about the results. People who can vote and choose not to are part of the problem, not the solution. It would be nice if all eligible voters would vote all the time, but I know that won't happen. I would be thrilled for 50% turnout for this final round of voting.

I hear what you are saying, but we have to make the best of a bad situation and that is what I am going to do.

Did I say that? No.....you did. The more people that vote, the more legitimate the process will be. And the easier it will be for the public to accept the results. I could live with either of the finalists, btw.

I am finished arguing with him.

Well said. I agree 100%. Please, if you are an eligible voter, exercise your right to vote. Those who don't participate in the process thereby give up their right to complain about the results of the process.

Right back at you, junior.

But remember, some people care ONLY about Men's Hockey and that's it.

But you are NOT entitled to universal acceptance and agreement with your opinion.

I am with you on your last sentence, but I find your first sentence disturbing and abhorrent. You would be targeting the establishment figures that screwed this whole thing up, but would be hurting the students and student-athletes instead. It's like Kirk said to Khan in Star Trek II.

It ain't over yet, my friend.
