    Its all a money grab from the NCAA on down ... I don't blame the individuals ... they are just working within the system in place.

    Throughout the history of college football, you can numerous times where an overzealous booster has paid to assist an alma mater, only to end in calamity.

    Look at SMU from years ago. Only school to ever get the "death penalty" and have football taken away.

    I have no doubt that the same kind of stuff is going on at some schools and the money is bigger today ... people are just smarter at concealing it. Even the whole Cam Newton allegation that his college choice was changed by a timely bag of cash ...

    I think you are right. The boosters need to somehow be eliminated from the whole thing. How to do that? :dunno: You can compare them to the political lobbyists. How?

    same here. will do some pre-Christmas socializing tomorrow.

    then holidays kick in heavy starting on Christmas Eve and will travel to family and friends over the following days. It works out good this year because we'll visit everyone by the Saturday following Christmas. Sunday will be a day of rest (and football I'm sure).

    You asked about a Mac, do you have a compatible monitor, mouse, and keyboard for a Microsoft set-up?


    I've got the party tomorrow with the Monster-in-law, dinner at stepdad's Christmas eve, and a Christmas meal at the wife's Dads Christmas day. Other than that it will be hunting during daylight hours.

    Merlin, do you think the Cowboys have finally solved their long running self destruct issues? Or do you feel like maybe these last two games will be their undoing?

    Murray has a broken hand. Nfl Network showed both how it could work and why it won't. I don't believe it will work. Their D has to be on top of their game this week. The Colts aren't an also ran.

    things can get interesting quickly. Eagles can't worry about/rely on Dallas losing. They just have to make quick work of the Redskins and see what happens next week.

    as Al Davis said "just win baby"
