Mike, I'm sorry for your loss. I've mourned the loss of several musicians that I felt close to, though I had never met them, as they impacted my life in a unique way. While I understand where some of the detractors are coming from, you started this thread to share something dear to you, not to have a discussion regarding how society judges people differently. Unfortunately, the internet highlights the fact that some people don't understand there is a time and place for everything... Prayers for his family.

Ditto, very nice gesture.

Yah, I meant to apologize for that - I kinda called it upon myself, as upon re-reading it certainly looks like I'm addressing you. I'm with you on affirmative action - I hate it.

Haha, nice, though I wasn't responding to you, rather the OP who seemed to feel that once whites were no longer a majority there would be some sort of racial war. Appears to look forward to it, even. But your knee-jerk over-reaction is both noted and entertaining.

WTH? Is the US only for white people now?

My dad once told me "find something you enjoy doing then figure out how to get paid for it". Wise advice, imo. Life's too short to work somewhere you hate (or at a job you dislike) - unless you have zero options...

Oh, make no mistake, that's an EBR! If it were used in a crime, it would be the dreaded AK47!

Man, I'm sorry to read this. Thank you for what you do, for caring enough for it to affect you. IMO you're exactly what our education system needs (besides good parents)...

Love it - I own my own business where I get paid to listen to music all day!

Warren Sapp said it in '94 (paraphrasing) "the deck's stacked against us - the trophy is carrying the ball". I didn't see enough of Suh this year to say one way or the other, but he's obviously a monster.

I think this is def true right now, has been for some time. Especially top-to-bottom - few conferences have cellar dwellers that can beat the top team any given Saturday...

Oh, yah. I see your point. But the level of competition was much closer between UM and UT that year. My point is a lot of backs could have a great year playing a really soft schedule. I think Gerhart's a great back, without question, but he wouldn't even start for several teams in the SEC (UT, LSU, Bama, MSU)...

As who? Woodson? He wasn't a running back, that part was about Ingram.

Ahh, you must be a Tennessee fan - now it makes sense. Only Tennessee fans think Woodson didn't deserve it. He was SICK that year. "Casual observer" indeed. Either way, the Heisman voters saw what they saw - a RB who performed against the toughest competition out there, and voted accordingly. Cheers,

Well, when you play an easy schedule, your opponents suck. No big surprise. See? We can do this all day! The point is, numbers can be twisted to mean what you want, but Ingram performed at a high level in the biggest games, against he best defenses in the country, while playing the second toughest schedule in the country and sharing carries in what is likely the deepest backfield in the country. He deserves it as much as anyone, as the Heisman voters already attested.

Except that, according to the NCAA, Alabama played the 2nd toughest schedule in FBS while Stanford played the 81st toughest schedule (out of 120). Kinda need to keep those numbers in perspective...

Yah, it is a GSG5 pistol - me likey!

Was is das? Maybe it's the angle, but I can't make that thing fit my mental image of anything. Looks cool. Thanks for all the great pics! {edit: looks like a GSG5 pistol?}

Yah, it's obvious you have zero interest.

The fans cracking on Tebow for crying probably never played ball. Tons of folks cry, win or lose - when you leave it all on the field, it's physically and emotionally exhausting.

He did, and I'm certain he was proud of his son's work ethic, humility, and the way he presented himself.

Roll Tide! Mark's a great person, very proud of him!
