A Defense of a Liberal Arts Education

To be clear on the Ohio State - Florida game story, my family has deep roots at Ohio State (multiple generations) so the lady sitting behind my folks chanting that was a Florida fan.

That's great history you have with the school and I remember all your '90's games against Tennessee (what was Spurrier's great line "you can't spell Citrus without UT").

This is random but I saw Tebow speak at a church (this was a few years back). He was absolutely dynamic. His energy and presence was off the charts. And I remember he found out one of the people working there went to FSU and he just ripped on them (in a friendly way).

I don't know if I knew that Florida is as good of a school as it is. Has it always been that way or improved in more recent times?
The last 30 years or so it has moved up the charts.......Lots of alumni $$$ funding it and its the Flagship Univ. in Florida. Difficult to get in without very high scores. My first cousin Nancy was best friend with Tim's mom for years. Went to the church daddy Tebow started in Gville. Yeah, we have some OBNOXIOUS fans and SOS enabled them with his success. Our gov. is trying to micro manage our university system now and we have dropped some. A large exodus of great professors I hear...........We used to have a Board of Regents that did a GREAT job with our Univ, system. Our leadership (politicians) abolished it so now we have a board at each Univ making those decisions........Lots of good old boys got new jobs from it.........
 
From you.
You openly wrote that you follow me around,
Well I’d certainly like to see a link to that.

read my threads,
A few. Very few. Ever see me participating in your religious or meaning of life threads?

and are very interested in me.
Mildly interested . You’re an interesting case study.

I don't have any doubt that you also lurk the Owl thread to see what Owl and Dutch are writing
In that nice thread? I don’t have to look. Before I was banned from there it was local weather reports, health updates and meds they take, how their tomatoes are growing and recipes. It never changed.

Interesting the connection to Tebow!

At USC in the early 2000's we were the "it" school for a period of time and got as high as #22 in the US News rankings. But thanks to several scandals and poor leadership from our last two Presidents, we lost that momentum and fallin off slightly.

We're a private school obviously so we don't deal with the gov't in the same way you do, but both stories here speak to the importance of leadership.
 
You probably heard about Najee's background, being homeless for a period of time. He's set up a foundation to help kids like him. You can't do anything but root for him.

I wasn't aware about Pittman being hurt. Well that sucks!

Totally random, but this made me think of Snoop Dog growing up a Steelers because he watch them in the '70's.
Yes, I do remember that about Najee being homeless.

It's so funny to think of Snoop being a Steelers fan. He comes to games occasionally. They don't make a big deal out it besides letting the camera pan over him.

You seem like the type of person who doesn't have any friends, because that's exactly the kind of shit friends talk about.

Despite your being banned I'm certain you still lurk that thread because you have an unhealthy interest in people there.

lol. Mostly golf buddies- here and in Hawaii, and in real life. We have some serious money games.
And if your “friends” are on a message board, I’ve got news for you - they’re not real friends. They’re make believe.
because that's exactly the kind of shit friends talk about.
Tomatoes!? Meds!? Local weather reports - daily!? Amongst people you’ve never even met !?
If you read my posts there you’d see I tried to fit in and was always polite. Even went the extra mile and gave our 10 day forecast.
Apparently I disagreed with Foul on some minor topic and she ordered Always Wrong Walt to ban me from the thread.

Why would I be interested in what meds you take?. Also I’m more interested in how my own tomatoes (and kale, lettuce, onions, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc.) are doing.
And I’m not desperate enough to discuss it with make believe “friends”.
