  1. I would take that kind of terrible.
  2. It looks like the Baylor Georgia Southern game is also interesting. 14 seeds playing well so far.
  3. You don't want to gain insight into people's dinner choices?
  4. His troll game is good. It works every time.
  5. Melvin Gordon may also be available in the first.
  6. They were still there in 01, so they returned to campus at some point.
  7. He was originally signed by the Cowboys out of college.
  8. Because that would be the first time THAT ever happened.
  9. Maybe the donor thinks that things are going in the right direction and is happy with how their money is being spent and that removing the person who is doing that good job is a bad idea. Or maybe they will withhold further giving until the new guy proves that they can do the job in a way that they trust. Just because they don't agree with you does not mean that they are putting their personal relationship first.
  10. So you are allowed to say that if X doesn't happen or I get mad at the AD or school for whatever reason, I am going to stop going to games, giving, etc., but the same reaction from a big donor means that they are being manipulated? Just want to make sure that I understand.
  11. In what way may consumers be in a less desirable position? ISPs already had begun to show that they would disadvantage businesses during the window between regulations. They are already slow to upgrade their networks. Bandwidth limitations are their chief argument against the new regulations, so why would they want to increase available bandwidth when it is their cash cow? They already have an environment where competition is limited within their geography, so they feel little inclination to be competitive. Not sure how you encourage them to get faster, but letting them have free reign is not it.
  12. Those are actually government run entities. A closer analog would be dealing with the electric company.
  13. Um, no. If you want to know what is in it, go look. Again, do you have actual reason that you are against this, or just that you don't like the president?
  14. Yet here we are, debating it.
  15. Healthcare and Internet are very different. Did you not like how the Internet operated before? The "new" rules are basically the old rules in a different package. And you haven't given a real reason why this regulation is a bad thing, just that you don't trust the government. If you cannot articulate beyond Frankensteinian "government BAD" then I don't know that you have a good reason beyond not liking the president.
  16. I would rather be proactive than reactive here. The potential economic damage is not worth the risk to trust a group of companies that has proven through past behavior that they cannot be trusted. These companies have already been granted a virtual monopoly and new competitors in the space are unlikely due to the cost of entry into the market. These companies have terrible customer support as a direct result of this virtual monopoly. It holds back innovation as small start ups are prevented from generating digital business due to lack of funds to pay the toll. My biggest fear is the potential to double charge consumers for use of a service. Netflix is a perfect example. ISP charges Netflix for fast lane, Netflix passes cost to customers. ISP charges customer for use of Netflix and other "special services". Consumer is charged twice for a service that should be part of their service. This would be very damaging to the economy and stifling to growth of the digital space. What happens when ISPs start signing exclusive fast lane agreements? Microsoft doesn't compete well in the search business right now, but they could buy their way to the front of the line. Like Google search? Too bad, it runs ridiculously slow, making it impossible to use, so Bing becomes your go to search engine regardless of quality. All of these are the behaviors that I fear would come from a lack of regulation and by the time we react, the impact of bad behavior could have already decided the winners and losers in the digital space and recovery could take decades. If you are in favor of the free market, these regulations should be something that you are in favor of as they keep the digital market a free market, not one that is ruled by the ISPs. Very possibly, but could even be slower.
  17. And since then, Verizon challenged the rules under which those decisions were made and had them thrown out. They promptly proceeded to set up a charge with Netflix for a "fast lane" to their customers. The telecom industry has proven that they cannot be trusted. Additionally, the Internet landscape is radically different now than it was 13 years ago. You don't want government "control" (actually regulation) in favor of big business "control" (actually control). If you get your way, I sure hope that Harry is able to pay to play because if he can't, kiss this site goodbye.
  18. @MeanGreenSports is the AD Twitter account and it is next to the different social media icons. There is nothing about it on shop.meangreensportgs.com, so I would assume that Rally House is the only place this is offered.
  19. Who wouldn't be excited about that?
  20. You want to remind everyone later that he said something, so you created a thread with no actual proof that he said it. I never said he didn't say it, but it is just pointless to think this thread proves anything.
