Put me in line too. Wife told me 'go for it'....!

I am gonna laugh my ass off if OSU beats the Honey Badgers "at the big house".......cockiness will fuck you in the ass.

^This^ right here is why I HATE most OSU fans. I figure its great to pull for your team, to talk some shit about it all. But bullsh!t like this is why I have to laugh at you. HAfreakingHA! Looks like it

fucked you in the ass.

Gee, must suck to be you huh? LMAO.....shit goes around and its caught up with your 'picked on' Buckeyes, huh?

My opinion is that was a game when its a shame one team had to lose. Hard fought, very emotionally played, I'm glad to see UofM break the streak. And for all you who want to whine about how Ohio didn't have this or that player, remember Michigan was playing with the same players that Rich Rod had when the Wolverines just plain sucked. The same players that for the last 3 years couldn't win if their life depended on it. I can't wait until Hoke has a chance with players he recruits to fit his system. And at the same time I hope OSU rises back up so that they can both represent the B10 and kick the SEC's butts. After 'The Game', that is....

Yep, hope your doggie is ok, and hope your Thanksgiving was a good one.

Sometimes life throws a curve at us and it makes you realize just how thankful we should be.

I got one of those HF table lifts. Great for the price. I just park my bike on it so it really doesn't take up much extra space.

Meyer himself said there was no deal on the table, no offer and he has not signed anything. Now why would he lie about that??

Hmmm, come to think of it, he might just fit in at OSU.....

I dont know much of anything about the new TV's. I have been looking but seriously have no idea what I am looking at. Wally World had a 50 - some inch Sony flat screen the other night for 350.00... I passed because I had no idea what it was. besides a 50" black flat box.

We are using an older Vega Sony 29"er in our br but its so bulky we have been thinking about going with a flat screen. Problem is the picture is so sharp on the Sony, I mean it rivals our HD 1080 (with a HD box feeding it) in the Living room for sharpness and picture quality. Even the installer (DirecTV) commented on how great a picture the Sony has, and its got its own non HD box feeding it.

But the Toshiba 24" LCD HD 1080 for $199 at HHGregg sure is tempting....

I saw Meyer on TV at the Mich-Neb game say he has not been offered, has had an offer or has not talked to anyone about a coaching position. Not sure whats in it for him to lie, but I guess we'll see....

I think Michigan is prime for giving OSU a good whupping this time around. But only if they don't get big heads with all the press they're getting.

I got into a habit of writing up a little 'bill of sale' when I sold a used vehicle. It had the VIN, price, our names, date and SOLD AS IS with both of us (buyer and seller) and a witness signing the paper.

There is a time period between when you sell a car, and when the buyer registers it, when the buyer could in fact drive the car and kill someone. That paperwork can save you a lot of legal hassles.

shoulda coulda woulda

States Rights- VOTE RON PAUL!!

Think greed is a factor??

The system is broke

Is money's deep role in politics the root of our woes?

This has to be rhetorical, not a serious ??......Everything is about money.

Oh I bet they got above 60 mph.....but not by much.

The CBR rider was an experienced racer, but we all know the Honda could never get any traction for a decent hole shot. Plus the beard heated his tires up good which probably helped his launch time.

And the beard. I kept expecting to see some critter come poking its head up at any minute....lol

Its a good start to campaign reform.

I'm sure that CBS missed the memo that when they put together the format for a political debate that they needed to give everyone equal time. What authority over that business is in place to make sure they don't do that again?

So you R.P. supporters changed your minds because he didn't get enough time and you can't support someone you don't know enough about?

Common sense just seems to pass you right on by, doesn't it? LOL

Because the media is supposed to be unbiased.

Yes they are, especially for something such as a political debate. By not doing so they sway public sentiment and the decisions they make.

Here's the indictment if you still don't think joe-pa should be fired you're an idiot.

You keep carping that Paterno deserved firing, when he was told a couple of guys are horsing around in the shower then tells his higher up, but the 28 year old adult man who walks in on the incident, AND DOES NOT STOP IT, GOES HOME TO TELL HIS DAD INSTEAD OF TELLING ANY OFFICIALS, OR THE POLICE, yet he can keep his job. BS

Litigious bastards, I'm not surprised, this is the company that tried to copywrite an exhaust tone. I'm gonna start selling knock-off "haley donaldson" bandanas on eBay to fill the market gap.

Might be a good way to get sued. HD does not take copyright infringement very well. They must have this thing all written up and contracted closing all loopholes. I have heard of very small business's facing HD's team of lawyers for simply selling unofficial Harley stuff.

OhioMike, One should also compare unemployment rates in the RTW vs. the Non. The cost of living (COA) can also be a double edge sword. If you move to where the jobs are...it drives prices up (supply and demand), raising the COA of the state or region. Wages increase to retain and recruit good workers.

You can see the good and bad in Vegas compared to say Charlotte NC.

Good points. Consider this tho-when (maybe it has happened) was the last time a company cut its overhead and then cut what it charges out? How many companies have left the country, because they could not afford the overhead here and yet what they charge for their jeans, or cars, remains the same, or still increases? So the col remains the same while wages are now falling behind, and with lower wages....yep, the gap widens.

My wifes cousin has been a nurse for long time now. At one time she worked in a right to work state. She said her wages were about 20% lower than had she been working in a state without rtw laws. How did she know? She did her homework, and eventually moved to one of those states. Funny she claimed the col was very nearly the same, so she was money ahead. This was about 4 yrs back.

Worry not folks! The ones behind the defeated bill have another brainstorm. Ohio becoming a right-to-work state.

If they cannot break unions one way, well here's another try.

So just be careful what you wish for...... you might just get it

Not so sure about that. Rumor has it the vest followed the rules also, but was used a scapegoat. I find it quite believable since the changed his resignation with no pay to retirement with full benefits. They wouldn't have done that if they had legal grounds to force him to leave.

Funny you should mention that theory-I think its very plausible myself. Now with the latest round of sanctions and accusations from the NCAA maybe people will realize the real problem probably lies with the AD and the compliance office leadership.

I also have thought it would be just like Paterno, knowing his run was about done anyway (prior to the scandal)

, to offer himself as a scapegoat. "Fire me, its whats best for the University." Just as long as you pay me what I have worked for 60 years to get.

I see Joe hired an atty, probably to protect himself, but it might also be to make sure he gets his pension, which he should get.

You answered your own question. People now know that they must report crimes of this nature and that their contract won't save them.

Mandatory police reporting laws exist for many occupations. Teachers, doctors, photo developing places (people still use those??) Some states are thinking about adding IT techs to that list (if you find kiddie porn on a computer you are working on) (I drafted corporate reporting policies for a company I used ot be IT Manager at. I was very clear and all IT techs had to follow it - non-illegal porn found on a company computer was reported to me and HR. Kiddie porn gets reported to the police directly, and follow-up with me and HR.)

But you have to take a step back and relaize that regardless of your prescribed legal obligation, every person has a moral duty to report a sex crime against a child to the police.

No contract should ever tell you that you cannot report a crime to the police.

You violate your contract, you are fired. Your it issue with work computers is a different issue totally.

Think of Richard Jewell. The media jumped into his accusations and when it was over he was ruined.....and proven innocent. The system is broke.

Sad day indeed for CFB, even sadder in Happy Valley. The media wins again and the victims are still victims.

OK so like tressel, lets make someone that did nothing the F'in fall guy. I know this has been discussed but dammit people. Fire the tard not the guy that had nothing to do with it.

AND

Just because he is the head coach that does not mean he should be fired because his staff did whatever. This is stupid, Once again. First Jim now Joe.

Apples and oranges. Tressel intentionally broke the rules. Paterno followed the rules.

Big diff.

I talked with someone who is in a similar job and his contract clearly states that he is required to take matters like this to his upper management, and it states, not to the police. Of course no one really knows what Paterno's contract states. Yet, lets react based on the media's buildup of it all. Once again we let the media dictate our actions and reactions. And just what did firing Paterno accomplish? Nothing positive. It also puts other coaches on alert-they are liable whether they follow their contract or not. The system is broke and this helps prove that.
