  1. They may have been awkward with other teenagers, but most home school kids I've known had no problem interacting with adults and just generally acting more mature than you could expect from kids their own age.
  2. The note had both army of mom and I laughing out loud. Thanks

  5. Donovan has always been an enigma. Maybe the most talented player ever produced by the US. Too many times he has disappeared in big matches, too many sabbaticals, too little passion to be the best. That's the shame of it.
  6. This man. He is on a roll.
  7. Nothing but a gee thang. Can anyone find the spot?
  8. I was just about to post about the look in the help forum...thanks for all the free ice cream
  9. For the most part, the Russian soldiers and people at large know only what their government tells them. The Russian system is brutal and clumsy, in propaganda and in war. That doesn't mean they are not dangerous or that we would 'mop the floor' with them. The old saying that we are always prepared to fight the last war and not the next war is still mostly true. Our ground forces have changed alignment from large heavy divisions to smaller and more flexible units. Fine for a counterinsurgency campaign, less than ideal for open warfare with a large opponent on the steppes/plains of Europe. I think we could still win. Russian numbers, fighting close to their own supply areas will make the victory a costly one and not as quick as bowling over the Iraqis. While I believe in our air forces, a war with the Russians would be the first in a very long time where it would be a real fight to gain and keep aerial superiority. Our planes, weapon systems, and pilots are better then theirs, but the gap is closer than any other adversary we've had in a couple of generations.
  10. Yes we've been fighting, but we have been fighting a VERY different kind of war. As for Russian numbers, they have already proven their willingness to win by throwing numbers at a technologically superior foe.
  11. Because CUSA refs can count higher than five?
  12. Benford is usually all the way on the court so he would be in bounds...
  13. Do you mean construct bases and permanently station heavy units in Poland? I would say yes, but no to anything more than maneuvers in the Baltic states. Should the merde ever hit the fan any troops stationed in the Baltic states will be overrun because they will not have enough depth for retreat. We made a commitment to defend our NATO allies and having the force to deter aggression much like Western Europe during the Cold War may enable us to do that without ever having to actually fight. Additionally, bases in the newer NATO countries will also reward them for picking our side.
  14. Ever the innovator, Benford has now found a way to get two players for a single scholarship. Now he can go back to subbing in players every minute and it's still the same name on the stat sheet.
  15. Turnabout is fair play, the Russian propaganda machine loves to call its opponents fascists no matter who they are.
  16. And who is the militia? The whole of the people. If you must pull out portions of the amendment then go with SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.
  17. Still shouldn't be the power bottom we are with Benford at the helm.
  18. I'm just waiting for the epic mockings the cerebus is sure to be dishing out any time now.
  19. '07 there was a decent crownd in the movie tavern to watch the game. If they ever make a run like Dayton's then I think it will be crazy all over town and especially on campus.
  20. The boys in powder blue never really wanted the Warthog, they just wanted to make sure the Army never got back into the fixed wing aircraft business.
  21. Unkraine already knows how that will go (and Poland, the Baltic states, Hungary, etcetera...) Their only chance is that we and Western Europe nut up and tell Putin it means war (economic or shooting), a war we aim to win and one he will lose. Ukraine really f-Ed when they turned down NATO membership and when they gave up their nukes. Either would probably have prevented the current crisis, but what's done is done.
  22. I disagree, this type of thing will only serve to separate the big boys even further. They will become minor leagues for money sports and there will no longer be a need for 'scholarships' because the players won't be playing for an education, but for a job like a minor league baseball player. At that point why bother with NCAA regulation and then things like scholarship limits and roster sizes can be skewed in favor of the new minor league schools. I do not watch pro basketball as I much prefer the college version where there are still players that give it their all every game and aren't playing for the money. Should this come down then I just don't see how college basketball will be able to keep its current draw for me.
  23. Like the old days of taking an opponents ships for your own use.
