  1. That's because they were in arguably the easiest bracket in the South region?
  2. Equally as shafty Ranked 16th in the country (I am almost positive) going into the SEC tournament finals beat the number 12 team in the nation by 16 points to win that, and you end up in the #1 overall seed's bracket as a 4 seed? Laughable.
  3. With the seeding they got last year, honestly nothing could surprise me.
  4. How literally do you take the Old Testament, particularly the Pentateuch?
  5. So we should stop airing Martin Luther King Jr.'s speeches and stop documenting history through media altogether? After all, it is all from a period we are long gone from? Correct me if I'm missing your point here.
  6. No disagreement here, and I'm not saying that I am against activism for things like this. I just have beef with people who believe after watching a 30-minute video promoting propaganda that they are suddenly all-knowledgeable about issues in Uganda and with Invisible Children. Some couldn't tell you if Uganda was a city or a country, let alone choose it on a map. The guy isn't even IN Uganda anymore, for crying out loud. It's a situation where most don't look any further than this Youtube video and are fooled into thinking that making a Facebook status will change the world.
  7. I agree. It always seems they're little twerps who are around a group of their 9th grade friends all trying to sound cooler than the next. You'd never know if they were truly racist or just trying to impress their buddies. It may be a little "we just learned this word" syndrome. However, in some capacities and in some cases, it is deeply-rooted and vehement.
  8. Jim, this should summarize it a bit more concisely. I watched the whole thing, and you can get the gist of it pretty quickly. Who is Joseph Kony? - ABC Melbourne - Australian Broadcasting Corporation
  9. I challenge you to read this after you've watched it. BagOnuts comments on Why the Kony documentary and Invisible Children are one-sided - please read.
  10. You won't find me using the word "atheist" or its adjective form "atheistic" in any negative connotation. I can guarantee you that. I do think others do, however, and I find it weird why people care what other people's take on God is. Some of the brightest minds in the entire world think the very thought of a higher power intricately affecting our universe and setting things in place is remote at best. I think it's silly to not entertain thoughts other than those which you're comfortable with. There's a great quote by Galileo: "I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use." I think it's applicable in the sense that people aren't using that same sense and reason when they use the word "atheist" with a negative connotation or as a "slur."
  11. No arguments here. A game of FIFA is too good of a break from an everyday routine to give up Xbox for Lent.
  12. I'm with you there. I'm not a fan of concept uniforms at all, just like I'm not a fan of concept cars. I'm not sure if those are the ones or not, but someone who goes to UC made the cliche, "THESE ARE AWESOME" picture post, so I was curious if these were them or not.
  13. Generous time frame. I was going to go with as fast as someone can type "WOW!" and hit "Post Quick Reply" to the closest thread to the cursor.
  14. No way you will win this argument :lol: Two different wavelengths going on here.
  15. :lol: 68 teams and 6 games. Yeah, talk about easy.
  16. The two teams are easily comparable in talent. I don't know who I'd give the edge to honestly, but their talent is definitely on par with Kentucky's, if not greater. I'm just glad that UNC will more than likely pick up a 1 seed now, provided they have a nice showing in the ACC tournament and will hopefully be positioned opposite side of the bracket from UK.
  17. This sounds like a circus. Just because a team is outgunned before the start of the game does not mean it justifies throwing away an entire season's worth of work. What ever happened to having some faith in your players' abilities? I would've hated to have been on the Highlands roster tonight, I will tell you that. All this says to me is that my coach believes that the best way for us to win the game is to get lucky and cut the game to around 10-15 total possessions, rather than beat our opponent in a dignified manner. I didn't pay a dime to see this game (for those who will so eloquently say that I'm cheap because I didn't feel I got my $8 out of this) and honestly have never watched more than 5 or so female basketball games. I have no allegiance to either team here -- just my opinion.
  18. We drew, and we still need a rematch. I just played over on Park with the boys over there a few hours ago. I decided to not give up Xbox for Lent
  19. Some time after Easter. I decided to give up Xbox for Lent. After that, I'd definitely be down for that.
  20. I said to count me out based on the condition that it was a one-win-per-week format. You never answered my question. Don't worry I deleted my team. Take it easy next time, tiger.
  21. Yikes. I asked a question to which I got no answer. Is it fair to take your terse response as a "Yes" to my question?
