Wow, this James guy really laid into GC but like a pro, GC shrugged it off and answered his questions.
Look at our OOC football sked for the future...2011 we get Boise State (Finally!) and Maryland at home! 6 home games next year.

Way to go, GC! Well done.
Love the future schedule, too.

Unlike everyone else, James didn't include his home town. Freak you are right, he answered it well. All that did was make James look stupid.
Hopefully six home games becomes the norm.

This was my favorite ask the AD. I love how he put (sic) into his paragraph and then answered it professionally. It really undercut James' entire diatribe.
The last question was answered well too. Is it a sure thing that we only have 5 home games in 2010 or is that just where we are now?

I'm pretty sure that it's final we are having 5 home games in 2010.

That isn't the only thing that made James look stoopid (sic)!

Please inform the ignorant
What does (sic) stand for? I have a few guesses/general ideas but I'm tired of not knowing.

Incorrect or "unusual" spelling.

As I understand it...when someone uses the writing of another and notices an error but for whatever reason (faithfulness to the original, maintenance of context, humor, etc.) chooses not to correct it, "(sic)" is placed just after the error to acknowledge the error to the reader. In this case, GC or whoever posted the letter to the web added (sic) for effect.

I just pray to God that James isn't a BG alum!
He's living proof of what it's like to be stuck in stupid!

Bingo. It's also Latin for "thus", but I'm not sure how that came to be associated with the current connotation.

I love when THUS THUS throws gum at football games. And those witty hand-painted signs, too!
