  1. I think Kansas was just way better than what many people thought. Also, I must say the ACC in football doesn't get nearly the negative press is the Big East, or even the Big 10 nowadays....but the league has been a no show in big bowl games for years. The conference is probably the 6th best.
  2. Jesus Greenbat, you must be the most negative person alive. Was it just me, or did we have more troubles with the trap once Ben wasn't in there? I honestly can't remember - but I believe Ben was sitting during much of the last few minutes(I think Hank and Steven commented on that). Bell seems about the only guy we have that can handle the press well at all.
  3. This isn't entirely unexpected for me. Last season conference road record: 3-6 Conference Home record 7-2 My hopeful prediction was a 13-5 league mark. Now I'm hoping for 11-7 or 12-6.
  4. They have the lead still under 12 minutes to go. If Kansas holds on to win maybe Fake Lonnie should eat some Rock Chalk Jayhawk.
  5. Last year we had a tough time winning road games in conference too. Nonetheless, this is a painful setback, no 2 ways around it.
  6. Don't fall in love with the trey too much guys.
  7. Had acouple of chances to get closer, but c'est la vie.
  8. Usually there's about a 20 minute break between games. Men's game won't start on time. EDIT: Well, it will as long as there aren't a million fouls at the end.
  9. Everyone has bad losses this year. But damn...I'd like to see the Mountaneers go up against USC's D. That'd be fun.
  10. I'm not sure who the best team is. USC is great. Georgia is great. Whoever wins the LSU/tOSU game will be deserving. But holy hell, this WVU team has more team speed than anyone I've seen. Those guys are all track stars out there.
  11. Halftime: West Virginia 20 Oklahoma 6 Oklahoma may win, but I doubt they roll'em.
  12. Sounds like you're the one who's brainwashed UNTFlyer. Most medicine in other countries is cheaper, not because it's lower quality...but because the country itself negotiates price caps so it can be affordable to the people. We're basically the only western country that doesn't do this for its citizens. The drug companies say, we the USA, is paying for research and development(as euless pointed out), but every other country is selling the same damn drugs for cheaper than we are.
  13. No one wants to MOVE there...but I do work with a woman that goes to Mexico for her prescription drugs(a whole tangent argument) because the same medicines are so much cheaper there.
  14. Yes, and I'm sure i could just as easily find horror stories of people who have paid their insurance for years, but were denied treatment because their insurer guves a lame ass reason and keeps the money(I recall a story about such a story on ABC News a few weeks back). Fact is neither a totally socialized system or one like we have here in the States works for everyone. Universal healthcare has the issues of overcrowding and lack of incentive to doctors to get better at their craft, while our more free market system runs into issues with folks who can't really pay or insurance companies who don't want to pay out claims so folks get refused treatment at the hospital.
  15. Well thanks for not wanting to help your fellow man...namely me. I'm not necessarily in favor of having a nationalized health care system, because it can get out of control quickly. On the other hand, I do find it sad that even millions of folks that DO have health care can't get treated because the policies refuse such and such treatment/operation/what have you. The current system is nearly as broken down as a national one would be.
  16. I don't have health care - can't afford it. To be able to goto a free clinic one must obtain a Medi-Cal card which shows that you make something like under $860 a month(supposedly, though I know some people who have gone and haven't had to show anything). So folks like me are screwed - not POOR but the so called "working poor". Thankfully USC and UCLA both provide cheaper care since they are teaching centers. Hell...I'm going to UCLA's dentistry for my next checkup.
  17. Hardly a new thing.
