Is he just getting desperate or does he really think that referring to college grads as "snobs" is going to work in these primaries???

Even funnier is that Santorum says that Obama wants all to go to college so they can be indoctrinated and that there is nothing wrong with going to comm. college or trade school. Ironically, if you look at the State of the Union Address, that is the SAME EXACT MESSAGE that Obama made in that speech. They both agree that not everybody should go to college but that all should at least go to a trade school or something to get skills that will make them marketable. They both have the SAME stance but Santorum is trying to make points with this argument.

I just don't get it.

Finishing the regular season with a comeback win over the Orange on Senior night. Both seniors started. Lindsay Kimmel sank 5 treys, 4 during the first half and got taken out for an injury that didn't seem too serious. Roberts got a leg injury late in the game that could be a problem. Sweeney was in foul trouble throughout yet made some key contributions at both ends. RFR Lauren Bufford scored two treys late in the game. Our whole team played tough and earned a tough victory.

The Cats scored 42% on FG's, 53+% on treys and 80% from the line.

Pretty damn close. Romney +1 in one poll and Santorum +1 in another poll. Do Dems come in and sway it to Rick tonight?

Polls

Highest in 5 years. Thoughts ?

Turns out right wingers don't like Mitt I guess.

Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri and (votes not in yet) Colorado are all swing states. Mitt might not win a single one.

For Obama. We're getting into no shot territory if these numbers remain for the next 12 months. Again, next November is a long way off but if the election where today it would be a bloodbath. STRICK is happy he took those odds a while back when we told him to do so.

Lots of good things. To me, the women's DMR was the most interesting. They came in second, but there were two times I thought were meaningful. Lipari ran the 800 in 2:05 and Akande ran the 1600 in 4:40.

I don't know what they're thinking as far as individual events, but if Nova wanted to go to ND and qualify a DMR for the NCAA's, a team of Akande 1200, Verdier 400, Lipari 800, and Mimic 1600 might be very competitive.

At Penn this spring, Mimic, Verdier, Lipari, and Reid could be difficult to beat. The 800 leg has been a problem for years; I was wondering when they might run Lipari there.

First, Iowa goes for Romney. But it turns out votes werent tallied. Turns out hundreds of Santorum votes "disappeared."

Now, the GOP in Maine is accused of rigging the caucus results.

Seems like Republicans want to

Really?

And we just don't know about it?

Iranian scientists have been getting killed. Then the Iranians go after Israeli Diplomats around the world. Now, they try and assassinate the Defense Minister, Ehud Barak?

Crazy to think we could be on the brink here and no one is making the connections.

And what happens, electorally, if we're forced into bombing Iran? I assume a huge win for Obama in the Fall?

Andrea Saul.

Hot or not?

I don't understand how Christie is pro-"civil union laws", yet refuses to let those in love get a marriage certificate.

Talk about a petty, petty man.

What is he afraid is going to happen if he allows gays to get hitched?

Terry, I should see you there. Team parents are having a little get together after the game. South Florida is a tough loss. Can't seem to get by them. Very athletic and press. Looking at our assist to t/o ratio and an 0 for in threes in second half. Should see much of the same in next three games.

No problem. Just let a random doctor shove an ultrasound up your hoo hah without your consent.

I'm having trouble posting in that thread-I keep getting an error message.

kj-I don't have a sister, but I do have a thing for my cousin Dupree.

What is this 15%? (by the way I've never seen an estimate anywhere near 15% of the population being gay. It's usually in the the 3-4% range) Is that the cut off? So if 0.001% of the population is biologically attracted to a family member they shouldn't be allowed to marry?

"With a funeral service for the late Whitney Houston scheduled to take place in Newark, New Jersey on Saturday, Gov. Chris Christie says he is planning to order flags to be flown at half-staff in the singer’s honor."

Good thing Whitney wasn't gay....

Any interest in getting the usual suspects together for dinner and a movie (or movie and a dinner)? After four years the movie is finally set to release.

Gingrich about Obama:

"The higher a monkey climbs on the pole the more you can see his butt."

Right now, VU looks like this: Fitzsimons (1200), Apwah (800), Ellison (400), McEntee (1600). Can it compete with Dublin City University (DCU)? Or even Virginia with Andrews, etc? Ironically by moving to Armory, it actually helps VU, because other than Apwah, the boys are fairly tall and the Armory track is bigger than Garden’s ? I believe 8 laps to the mile vs 11+ to the mile.

Congratulations to Lauren Burford who is the Big East Freshman Player of the Week. The Nova website and the Big East website have the story, including video on the B/E website.

She also was honorable mention for Big Five player of the week.

Josh Lampron, who won the 2011 New Balance Outdoor Nationals mile championship last June as a junior, formally committed on February 4th to run for Marcus O'Sullivan's Villanova squad.

At New Balance Nationals last year Lampron, who hails from Mansfield, Massachusetts, won gold by setting a new mile PR of 4:05.99 -- the 6th fastest mile run by a US prep in 2011. His 2011 indoor 1000 meter time of 2:29.77 was the 10th fastest in the country last year.

Lampron is the reigning Massachusetts state champion in both the indoor mile and outdoor 800 meters. Lampron started off the 2011 cross country season as the #9 ranked harrier in the United States, according to Mile Split, before an injury derailed his season.

Lampron has the following 2011 PRs:
400 meters: 51.24
800 meters: 1:53.13i
1000 meters: 2:29.77i (USA #10)
1500 meters: 3:50.03
1 Mile: 4:05.99 (USA #6)
5K XC: 16:06.82

I fell a bit weird posting this, but I thought those of you with an active interest in the womens basketball team enjoy this link. Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction.

Twins reach milestones on same play

Weird this has been more widespread. Probably because it doesn't matter but thought I'd pass it along.

Obama

Quite a milestone.
