Boy, this thread sure got shrill.
A couple thoughts.
I respect Miami fans, but they seem pretty whiny right now in a MAC-sucks-no-one-ever-travels-to-Huntington-thank-God-we're-leaving-for-Conference USA kind of way. :coo-coo:
It's common sense that the visiting team should not be located immediately in front of thousands of likkered up college students. How many years have we argued about battery chuckin', liquor bottle tossing Marshall fans? This should be a matter of common sense.
And I'll grant that maybe -- just maybe -- Miami students don't chuck batteries and liquor bottles Marshall-style.
It may be that RedHawk fans prefer bottles of Zinfandel and wedges of Muenster -- tossed gracefully, for that is the Miami way.
I've been to Yager. You guys have a splendid peanut gallery for your liquored up thousands. It's nice.
But every other in the MAC has figured this out. Here's a chart of how it worked at Bowling Green for the last 17 years at least:
And you know what? If you don't want to radically redo the seating chart at Yager Stadium, there is a very simple solution.
Have the teams switch sidelines.
How hard is that? :coo-coo:
I'll close by shifting gears radically. This:
Where is all of the money going? Simple: old people and lazy people on workers comp.
...is pretty darned offensive.
People who receive workers' compensation are, by definition, injured on the job and unable to work. We're talking about people who fell off a roof at at a construction site, office workers with carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.
Maybe these people meet your definition of lazy. They don't meet mine.
In any case, the workers' comp budget doesn't have much bearing on tuition rates. The system is funded solely by premiums from employers (and the investments the system makes with those premiums, the management of which you may have read about lately in a newspaper near you).
