Except for, y'know, David Wright (25), Hanley Ramirez (24), either of the Uptons , etc. etc. etc. . . . plus every one of those guys except Hanley can actually catch the ball, while Fielder and Braun are historically bad fielders (to the point that over 35 runs worth of Braun's offensive contribution was negated by his butcher duty in the field).

Plus, historically, TV shares are not really based on team quality - so your premise is sketchy at best.

Really, this is a long-hand way of saying this:

I don't even know who oldu is, why is he apologizing? Are you an adult? This thread is absolutely ridiculous.

The Yankees, for example, have a rich history -- been around a long time, many championships, multiple Hall-of-Famers, but some people just hate the Yankees.

If the Brewers ever make it to the World Series -- some will be upset because the TV revenue will not be as much, but others will want to watch just because a smaller franchise made it to the big time.
Gag.
And the name of my city is spelled Milwaukee. Thanks.

So on NPR yesterday they were talking about the World Cheese Competition (or soemthing like that) that takes place in Wisconsin every year. This year's winner was a Gureyere (sp?) from Switzerland. I love cheese.

and this comment just made me realize that if I went through rush today, I would be cut by everyone the first day for saying something like this. I have become a total geek.

You could have consumed cheese curds had you been at the 1982 World Series because games were played in Milwaukee.

Hate to think that any of your girls would get stuck in a group where their colors could make up a stoplight or anything.
Wowie your business is so kind to let you use their Computors! Do you go out on calls?

Is your Chaqpter open? How did they pick you to join?

You are so kind to fellow Greeks!

People who talk about themselves in third person take themselves entirely too seriously.

Ha.

So what's a "strong chapter," again, and does that vary by type of organization?

Also, aren't there really great schools for academics and Greek Life that aren't SEC schools?

See why this is really all a gooblygob of gooblygobness?
