"Blacked Out And Beat Up In Athens" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-23 12:47:20

Sitting behind the Auburn bench it was apparent from the very start this team wasn’t into the game. There was zero emotion from the sidelines. It would be easy to say that Auburn was over confident. In fact they just didn’t seem to care. Auburn’s receivers continue to drop passes and run bad routes. And unlike 2004. Borges has not figured out how to best utilize his talented stable of running backs. With the exception of the first half of the Florida game this offense hasn’t played with purpose for any length of time all season. Cox’s inconsistency continues to hurt. It’s tough on an offense when you never know which quarterback is going to show up from week-to-week. A lot of the fault lies with Borges. For someone who did such a masterful job with Jason Campbell things just haven’t played out that way for Cox and it will likely cost Borges. Most disturbing defensively was the play of the secondary. Talk about senior leadership – Eric Brock and Jonathan Wilhite looked like guys making their first college starts. They were beaten every way imaginable. Honestly can you say that it is Borges that isn't doing his job or is it Tuberville playing way too conservative that won't let Borges do his job the way he wants? There has been speculation that the two don't see eye to eye on how the offense should run. I know defense wins games but come on you have to open up the offense or you will never survive in the SEC. Unfortnately it may cost Borges but I don't think he is the problem when it comes to the offense. I just think Tuberville likes to play it close to the vest and refuses to open things up. As for the defense.. that was a complete meltdown. Muschamp better get his guys in gear and ready for the Iron Bowl. This year will be a complete waste if we lose to Alabama. That is a HUGE if. I feel we are much better than the team that showed up yesterday. We can make this year better by beating Alabama on November 24th. There you go! You summed it up for me! Auburn's performance was terrible. I don't think Tubs has much of a bargaining chip going into this off week. I wish him the best but I have finally made my decision. I think that it's time for Auburn to explore other avenues. I have never witnessed a more deplorable offense than that of ours. I want us to score points! Not this ball control BS that I have been putting up with. We have waay too much talent to not be utilizing it! I think Tubs has done great things but he will never take us any higher. I expect more from a team that constantly recruits well and is a big name program. I had changed my mind on Tubs until last night. Don't let the door hit you on the way out! Let's welcome Petrino with open arms!!! Somewhere coaching has failed the auburn players. I cannot understand how they can let Cox continue to look at the side of the field he his going to throw to as soon as he is snapped the ball. I do not understand how they never open up the offense. I don't think a screen constitutes that. Can we air it out some? I don't understand how our defense always seems to be out of position and has to rely on shear athleticism. I don't understand how we never go after big time receivers. I don’t understand why are receivers run crappy routes... for the last couple of years this has been a problem. Look at the Ol' Ball Coaches receivers. He drills route running into their heads and makes middle of the road at best receiving cores look good. Why can't we do that? I never liked how Tubberville came in (the whole pine box.. telling his Ol' Miss players before the bowl game etc...) That being said I do like how he seems to take boys and make them men. I love how our team has a very high graduation rate. I don't have a lot of faith that this coaching staff as it is is going to get us a National Title. being confident going into big games. I've always had a big superstition that when I feel like we're going to win a big game we end up losing. Well all leading up to yesterday's game. I thought that we had the upper hand and that UGA wasn't focused on the game but on the jerseys. I have eaten a large load of crow. Anyway a few thoughts I had: When did we have such a large dropoff at the skill positions? Our O-Line and defensive front 7 are probably comparable to any in the country. Why is our secondary so dreadful and our offense incapable of throwing the ball deep? I'm not the best judge of talent (especially defensively) but if I had to make a pick. I'd say that Jerraud Powers is the only defensive back that is good enough for an SEC defense. Pat Lee has been pretty decent although an easy pick-six was dropped against MSU and another one somewhere in there. Wilhite has been dreadful dating back to last year when he tripped over his own feet covering Marcus Monk against Arkansas. I see Brock as a giant "meh".. just average. We need to get some top-notch guys in there so that we don't have a play like UGA's first touchdown pass yesterday. I agree with some of the posters above me. I've heard that Tuberville is holding Borges back and Borges isn't running the offense the way he would like it. Ball control offense doesn't work when your defense gives up 45. Tommy. I also realized today that I think Tuberville is one of the best at taking a program from a very low point to the brink of elite status. However. I'm not sure he's the man to get over that last bump. Texas A&M may be a better fit for him. I dunno. If he leaves. I can't be upset because of all that went on in 2003 and I'll always remember 2004. I'm just not sure he's the right guy to lead us forward from this point. ... that I'd take an 8-4 team every year if we show class and character and develop great young men. We're still doing that. I think. Honestly though. I'm rapidly being convinced that we aren't going to get the strategy and motivation to win titles here. The Borges offense was AWESOME with two NFL RBs playing unselfishly several all-conference linemen a towering/strong-armed future NFL QB and a plethora of tall speedy wide receivers. Right now we're pretty much the worst offense in the SEC. I'm going to take the UGA defensive performance as an aberration but the offense has mostly stunk since the 1995 Bama game. .... Now are the woes because of Tub or Borges? Recruiting? All of the above? Hard to say. That's for the insiders and the speculators to sort out. I REALLY don't like our play-calling right now. What I might call wouldn't necessarily work any better though. Might result in 5 or 6 touchdowns or the same number of turnovers a game. We need help on offense. Whether that's new strategy new players or new coaches is beyond my level of ignorance. .... In any event we have the Iron Bowl in less than two weeks. Should we perform again like we did in the UGA game the naysayers will go crazy. TAMU will likely back off. Dark Lord Lowder will likely direct some Sith manipulations and stir the poisoned cool-aid. Careers and programs have been wrecked by games like this past Saturday. Let's hope it doesn't happen here... Acid you point at recruiting as a possible issue. I disagree look at our skill on offense alone. A 5th year Senior QB. 3 fantastically talented running backs an offensive line that has played stellar this season despite the fact that there are 3 true freshman on it and a receiving core that should be great. My issue is the fact that Tuberville is so loyal to Cox that he is willing to rip the chance to win from the rest of the team. Last year Cox had 35 yards passing and 4 interceptions against UGA we had absolutely no chance at that point. This year. 100ish yards with 4 more interceptions. And people look to blame the defense? Yes they had some breakdowns on the deep ball but with 4 turnovers you can't beat a team that is no. 10 in the nation. Why do you allow Cox to play when he is playing so poorly? Why is he so damn loyal to Cox even in the darkest days for him? Why is Tubby willing to throw away a game for the sake of leaving Cox in? 6 minutes left in the game and down by 25 why not play someone else and give them reps? I am a bit ashamed of what is posted above although some if not most of it is true. There is plenty of talk of on field issues we were totally blacked out but does anyone want to "blackout" what was going on in the stands as well? I was sitting the right on the Auburn fan/UGA fan line in the lower level. I was with mostly older (40-55 years old) fans. The Auburn Players families were also right in front of me. I have been to every SEC schools stadium as a fan and this game was one of the worst I have ever seen. Not quite as bad as LSU but close. Grown men yelling at the players parents? I do not get that. Throwing footballs as hard as possible into the Auburn Section and at the band with intent to injure? I always thought that AU/UGA was a friendly rivalry. What happened? I know that AU sucked it up but come on. Oh well maybe our team can show some emotion next week and win and show more class then we were shown in Athens. ashamed is more like it. The lynchmob comes out of the woodwork when ever we have a bad time of it. For everyone second guessing Tuberville and Borges get over it. Tuberville is definitely a conservative guy when it comes to offense. But offense didn't lose this game. We were never going to win a shootout. UGA's Defense did however play way above their heads. Our defense was below our expected performance. A big part of that was the linebackers. Groves may be the best Defensive End to ever play at AU (to this point anyway) but he put himself in the doghouse and gave the opportunity to Coleman to take his job by not keeping to his assignment and rushing the passer on plays he was supposed to drop into coverage. Now he's in the doghouse and Coleman has played lights out..... too good to take out. But despite Groves amazing speed and atheletic ability he doesnt know the SAM linebacker position well enough and UGA did a fantastic job of taking advantage oh it. No way Knoshon Moreno gets those yards and big runs had Groves been in position. UGA ran the ball behind the tackle straight at him over and over. Don't get me wrong thats not the only reason we lost but its a big one. You also have to give credit where credit is due.... Richt had done a marvelous job getting a bunch of young guys motivated. As far as the statements about Tuberville "not taking us to the next level"..... where in the hell do you think we were in 2004 and why do you think we are mentioned every year as a contender? People we are at the next level. The nation saw how flawed the BCS was after OU was trounced and AU was left out. UF benefitted last year from our slight. And how many of you said after the Mississippi State game that you would be happy with 8-4? If nothing else look at the number of freshman that have been in the rotation and look at what that says about the future. We will not ever have a coach that will win every game every year (much less one that will win every game we are supposed to win) but right now we have a coach that will keep us in the hunt every year in a conference that is equaled by none. War Damn Eagle Lets Beat Hell Outta Bama. If you think that being pre-season ranked at #17 to 20 year in and year out is being considered a contender I would have to disagree. I would consider the next level on the caliber or national respect that an Oklahoma. Texas. USC for the past few years or a Michigan gets. They might go 8-5 one year and the next season people have enough respect to still put them back toward the top. Top recruits want to go to those schools. Would you really say that top players consider going to Auburn? Who was the last blue chip recruit that Auburn got that wasn't out of Mississippi. Florida. Alabama or Georgia? Now don't get me wrong. I think our recruiting has been fantastic for the past 5 years but I am talking about having a respect with our name that people want to go to. Other posters have said that dropped passes poor throws bad blocking and poor tackling isn't coaching error it is the error of the player. Your wrong if you think it. Has anyone noticed that our 5th year QB is the worst QB in the conference? He has poor fundamentals across the board. From the way he can't recognize coverage to the way he drops back with his throwing arm forward half the time all this goes back to coaching. We have a Jr backup that plays well almost every time he takes a snap but yet he is limited to a dozen or so the past two years why? We have a highly recruited freshman that people claim just doesn't know enough plays to get snaps. A 18 year old kid playing under a system for 6 months should know damn near an entire play book if coached properly. The fact that our defense tries to do jumping shoulders blocks instead the boring old-fashioned wrap up the ball carrier leads to poor coaching. Make no mistake almost every woe our Auburn team has seen this year comes back to poor fundamentals and lack of coaching. I will say this. Saban is smart enough to watch some game film and learn enough about how to shut down our offense. Unless a miracle happens and Cox plays out of his ass we might lose by 21 come the Iron Bowl. Let’s all relax a little bit slow down and not let one game’s emotions cloud the whole season. To that point let’s think about what has happened this season. But before that though let me state that I am in no way making excuses or ignoring what happened Saturday. I too am extremely disappointed and appalled. To my point about the whole season: First and foremost we are a young team led by an inconsistent QB. Our offensive line contains three freshmen of which one has been injured since the AR game and only played a portion of this game. Our receivers are juniors and sophomores our tail backs are a junior sophomore and red shirt freshman. I know we have a fifth (rather sixth) year QB but lets face it what has he done in the last three years. True he has beat UF and UA the last two years and UGA in ’05 (on a 4th and long-15 if memory serves conversion) but outside of that nothing. And while I admit that I could not do any better (truth be known I wouldn’t start on the local HS JV team) he is not consistent; you never know who is going to show up. The Cox that led Auburn back against UGA in ’05 or UF and LSU (before getting beat at the end) this year or the Cox that threw four interceptions to UGA last year two interceptions against USF two interceptions against MSU (after which he was pulled) and four more interceptions to UGA this year (although one wasn’t entirely his fault as it bounced off of our receiver’s (Billings - I think) chest). Or the Cox that missed a wide open Billings or McKenzie in the end zone on Saturday for an easy six because he didn’t look left to the middle and left side of the field on the opening drive. You see my point - inconsistent. True poor route running has been the cause for some of the interceptions but at the same point a sixth year senior should know when to hold the ball or throw it away. That is not the fault of coaches; they do not throw the ball. The fault of the coaches is not developing a replacement more quickly- Fields and Burns are still too green to be leading the reins of a top SEC team. As far as the defense goes cut them some slack. Yes they did not play well in the first half and unraveled (to say the least) at the end of the third quarter but for crying out loud they have played 11 straight games and for the most part have had to play at 110% every down because of our young offense and inconsistent QB. I challenge anybody to play and practice at an SEC level 11 weeks in a row. Oh yeah and carry a minimum of 12 credit hours at top University. As Tuberville was concerned about before the game the defense was flat worn out by the end of the third quarter!!! And they have every right to be!!! I will elaborate more of this later. But as far as performance our front seven held their own on the line. The weakness came in the secondary. While there is a lot of room for improvement (as there always seems to be with our secondary) let’s keep in mind that this is the same secondary that held Tebow to 201 yards in the air at the Swamp. The only team to hold him to less was LSU at Death Valley at 158. Otherwise Tebow has thrown for more than 230 yards in every other game. The same secondary that only allows for 185 yards a game has intercepted 13 passes and allowed fewer TDs with 11 (including Saturday’s debacle). The only other teams to pass for more than two TDs on us in a game were LSU and New Mexico State. And for more than 200 yards in a game were LSU. UF. New Mexico State and KSU. So in short not to make excuses but let’s cut them some slack they too are human will have a bad game. My second point is with regards to bad games let’s keep in mind that NO Tuberville coached Auburn team has allowed 45 points. That is impressive and OBVIOUSLY the 45 PA is isolated considering this is his ninth year at AU. Everyone has bad days. I know it is not football but to draw a slimily to golf. Tiger Woods shot an 81 in the third round of the 2002 British Open after winning the Masters and US Open earlier that year. My point is even the best in the world will have a bad day from time to time. For that matter look at College Football this year; other than Kansas (who in my opinion hasn’t played anyone) what team has not had just a flat out bad game this year? To elaborate we beat UF and VU. UF lost to LSU. LSU lost UK. UF blew out UK. S Car and UT. S Car beat UGA. UGA barely beat UA and VU and blew out UF. UA blew out UT. UT barely beat S Car but blew out Ark and Ark barely lost to UA. I could go on but you get my point and that is only the SEC. A quick further elaboration is we barely beat KSU who had 73 hung on them by a horrible Nebraska this past Saturday. And last but not least we lost to MSU and barely lost to USF. USF blew the doors off WVU. WVU blew the doors off MSU. MSU beat UK and UA. I could go on and on about the other BCS conferences but again you get my point everybody has had a bad game at one or more points this season. With regards to the schedule while Tuberville does have some say. Jay Jacobs has the most control over scheduling. He needs to do a better job of scheduling than scheduling 11 in a row. To that point I feel bad for the players and the coaches. Again that is a long time to have to be going 110% without a break. Keep in mind too that the team players and coaches travel home immediately following the game which when you play a night game (which we have done a lot this year and why? because we have played well and tough more often than not and simply had a bad game Saturday) doesn’t allow you to get home until the early hours of the morning only to turn around and have practice on Sunday afternoon. And after doing that for 11 straight weeks anyone would be tired. Don’t get me wrong I am not bashing Jacobs or using him as an excuse rather my point is that this is not just a Tuberville problem or a Cox problem or a Borges problem or a Muschamp problem. This is an Auburn Football in whole problem. With regards to the Borges-Tuberville issue. I too have heard the rumors. Let’s all be realistic rumors are what? Rumors!!! Unless we are right beside Tuberville or Borges every single second none of us know the true extent (good or bad) of their relationship. I agree that I would like to have seen the ’04 Borges more and open it up and spread it out a little more this year. Who knows. Tuberville is conservative and maybe he is the reason for the conservative play calling but also look at the offense. We all agree that our receivers leave some to be desired. But they are young so let’s wait until they are at least juniors and seniors until we bash them because until the UF game the only reliable WR was the junior. Smith. And any defensive coordinator could see that and put his best CB on him. And when that happened our passing game was even more limited because of Cox’s inconsistency and the young o-line. So with a young receiving core and o-line and an inconsistent QB it is tough to have the confidence to open it up. We all know what happens when we turn the ball over. So to Tuberville and Borges’ defense we had to play more conservative to give our selves the best chance at the W. Last but not least. WE DO NOT want Tuberville. Borges or Muschamp to leave within the next two to three years. We have unbelievable group of athletes coming along. Think about it if the guys are playing this well in their freshman sophomore and junior years just imagine what is coming when they are sophomores juniors and seniors. And with Burns being the new breed in a dual threat QB you don’t think that Borges has an entire offense waiting for such a scenario that nobody has seen. We need Borges for Burns. Furthermore unless the administration (rather Lowder) fires Tuberville or insults him with an extension he is not going anywhere. It took Tuberville 5+ years to build us to what we are now. TAMU is in absolute disarray; worse than we were when Tubby took over. It would take him at least 6 or 7 years to clean up TAMU. He is 53 years old he doesn’t want to waste the next 6-7 years (if TAMU even would give him that long) to get back to where he is today. And while I admit he would probably go for the right price it would take a Saban+ contract to get him there because his current contract has an annual escalator of $200,000 by the time it is up he will be in the neighborhood of 3.5 million a year. He doesn’t need or want the money he wants a national championship and he knows that he is close to having the team that will get him it. Furthermore his kids are in the height of their grade and middle school years and are happy. He doesn’t want to take them away from that. Now will he use this to get an extension? Absolutely who wouldn’t? Keep in mind his agent is Jimmy Sexton who is also Nick Saban’s agent. He is kind of the college football version of Scott Boras (A-Rod’s agent). But more than that Tuberville knows he is loved by the true Auburn fan as seen in the boxes of supportive emails following the 2003 debacle of a season and jetgate. Jetgate has longed since passed his memory as the emails came pouring in. He knows that jetgate gave the University a BIG black eye and that when all was said and done he was the knight in shining armor. And his record since has even added an exclamation to that!!! So when you combine his record the team’s graduation rate and the gentleman of men that he creates as you never hear an Auburn players name mentioned in the media outside of football as well as the fact that players don’t bolt to the NFL early (Williams. Brown. McNeil. Groves. Thomas. Dansby) the University would do a serious injustice to the football and athletics program as well as to the school let him get away. Besides was anyone else appalled at UGA’s players’ attitude and demeanor during the game and the last couple dating back to the UF game? While they are always borderline obnoxious they were beyond obnoxious this game and have been since their UF game. Is that what we want to become? You wrote way too much but let me sum it up for everyone. You are trying to justify why we have the 99th ranked offense you are making excuses for a coach who can never seal the deal and you basically wrote too much. Now. I apologize for the sarcasm but let's think about this. Should we be okay with never taking that next step? Should we be okay with a terrible offense? All of this. "They did their best and thats all that matters" is pure shit! I am sorry! Vanderbilt is Feelgood U. Not Auburn! For what we have accomplished in recruiting and for the coaches we have we should be winning all of our games. We have underachieved for too long! My God is everyone living in a dreamworld?? only does as good as its offensive line and subsequently its running game which for those of you not paying attention has been up and down all season long... but then again there are 3 freshman playing on the O-line and they have looked very good at times and at other times they have looked like freshman. And what do you expect Tubby to do other than go undefeated to win a national champioinship? Get on his knees blow every AP voter? And be happy with a team that goes 8-4 every year? So how does one year equate to every year? I'm not so sure that Borges is on the hotseat either. We will see. So remind me again what team should I have been watching? I hope to god that we beat the hell out of bama so all the doomsday squad will go back into the woodwork. Tubs has led Aurburn to a clean winning program. The record speaks for itself. I also know that a leader is only as good as his team. If Borges is the problem. Tubs will get rid of him at the end of the season. Coach Tubs has done it before. Let's look at this from a player standpoint. Has our receiving corp shown that they can catch the ball? Montez Billings and Rod Smith are the only two that have shown any consistency. Personnally. I wouldn't throw the ball to Tommy Trott either. It appears to me that he couldn't catch a cold. Gabe McKenzie appears to be the only tightend that has caught the ball. If our receivers can't catch the ball why would we throw it to them? I definitely would throw to Carl Stewart and Mario Fannin. Our running game has been the only bright spot. I support Coach Tubs as long as he is at Auburn not because of what might happen but because of what has happened. IN OTHER WORDS he has proven he is a winner. He is a great leader and I believe he will right the sinking ship.

"My friends can beat up your friends..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 23:11:27

* Sen. John McCain has picked up the support of his Capitol Hill colleague. Sen. Sam Brownback who built a small but enthusiastic following of social conservatives before he dropped out of the presidential contest last month. * Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani won the endorsement of religious broadcaster Pat Robertson one of the icons of the Christian conservative movement that supposedly is so divided over the prospects of Giuliani nomination. McCain and Brownback are running around together today in Iowa a place where Brownback had been far more active than McCain before the end of his race. Although Brownback caused a few raised eybrows recently when he had a cordial meeting with Giuliani his endorsement of a longtime Senate colleague was not too surprising. A bigger affect was Robertson's include of Giuliani who has been trying to beat outright suspicion from some evangelical Christians and anti-abortion activists. Some undergo threatened to back a third-party candidate if Giuliani a past supporter of abortion rights becomes the Republican standard-bearer. Already some folks -- including the headline writers on FoxNews -- are asking: Back then when the compose of this blog was a skinny college journalist covering his first Iowa caucuses. Robertson shook the political establishment by topping a sitting vice president (George H. W. Bush) and finishing second to Bob Dole in the Iowa Caucuses. We'll always bequeath how Robertson was mobbed by reporters that night at the convention center in Des Moines and said (with a memorable sparkle in his eye) how it was a sign that his base of religious conservatives was much more powerful than any of the pollsters imagined. That proved to be the high inform of Robertson's campaign and Bush quickly regained his footing to win the nomination. Since then. Robertson's national profile might have diminished but there are desire memories of his big night in Iowa. Giuliani skipped the Iowa GOP's straw poll in August. And he has been downplaying the express while focusing on a big national strategy. That has left an opening for former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee a Baptist minister who recently overtook Giuliani in the Iowa polls. Huckabee has poured all his energy into Iowa and has been trying to get religious conservatives to (finally) unite behind his candidacy. Polls declare he has had some success of late. But Wednesday's news certainly won't help. Horse-race ramifications aside the group Media Matters for America has been trying to draw attention to the long list of controversies Robertson has sparked -- including his label for assassinating Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Get a sampling. Holy Cow - literally. It ordain be interesting to check the continuing media frenzy over the Robertson/Guliani strange-bedfellowing. Posted by Pat Robertson is a Charismatic. He can hardly be called a conservative Christian or be the conservative Christian movement. Let's get that straight. I am not surprised that an apostate like Pat Robertson would approve a socially liberal immoral man like Giuliani. Pat Robertson isn't all that alter himself. Personally. I evaluate that all of the true Conservative Christians need to act a good hard be at Tom Tancredo. At least Tancredo isn't an hypocrite desire Huckabee and he's not a social liberal desire Giuliani.

"Gimpo Language High School In Trouble" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 21:02:25

The brave act of one lay school student has exposed a dirty secret of the unreasonable university entrance examination. The world first became aware of the scandal at Gimpo Foreign Language High School through the postings on an internet site of a third-grade lay school girl. At first the school denied the report saying “there was no leak of test questions,” and reported the girl to the guard but on the 13th the complaint was withdrawn. Netizens who read her posts became suspicious and move the story through discussion forums and portal sites and then on November 2nd an inquiry into the affair began. A silent complain demanding an explanation and compensation was planned for November 15th come the school in the Gwanghwamun govern in Seoul. On the 31st of October one netizen claiming to be “an applicant to Gimpo Foreign Language High educate” left a comment at the educate’s homepage: “Today I heard a completely unexpected story. The preparation papers given to students on four [ ] buses bound for the exam at GFLHS from hagwon J in Mokdong had evaluate questions almost the same as the real evaluate. 8 of the 15 math questions and 40% of the language questions were the same…” The student who wrote that is 15-year old Lee (3rd year of middle educate) who sat for the examination this year at Gimpo Foreign Language High School. She had a friend who went to the hagwon J. Lee said. “my friend goes to that hagwon but told me that on the day before the evaluate she was terrified because she overslept and missed the bus. She was overwhelmed that all her hard work to be that high school was lost and fainted and while going for an IV at two in the morning she confessed to her sleepless true-hearted applicant friends the truth of what had happened.” The High educate was outraged. Jang Du-su a teacher there said. “70-80% of the questions on EBS atre pretty similar what’s that about? Some of the questions we collaborate on making are desire that.” The school called Lee’s parents in protest saying. “make sure you obey the law,” and on November 5th the educate reported her to the Gimpo guard Department for slander. But as soon as the guard investigation uncovered on the 13th the fact that the school admissions director Lee (51) had sent the hagwon an e-mail containing 38 test questions they invalidated the complaint. Lee was excluded from the evaluate. But netizens started to doubt the quality of the policework even before the investigation started. Postings from students began popping up on an internet cafe called 김포외고 일반전형 문제 유출사건 해명시위 dedicated to the affair. “On the bus the teacher woke up the sleeping students and gave them the questions and said ‘hurry up and hit the books just the first questions and answers. Don’t worry about the order they’re in.’” (ID:sukho0110) “When I got the cover on the bus a lot of kids didn’t bother to hit the books it figuring no way would all of the questions be on the test and then later when we were walking I got suspicious about why were we walking. Because I never realized they would be so similar.” (ID:dolemi603) “After the first evaluate my friends gathered around one seat and one of them said ‘a lot of the questions from my hagwon paper came up. The third one was exactly the same.’ He said his teacher gave it to him on the bus and told him not to tell anyone about it.” (ID:seongheo) The Gyeonggi-do come in of Education appears to view a lawsuit as inevitable. The parents of the 47 be students currently attending hagwon J are preparing civil and criminal suits against the Board and GFLHS.

"Justice for Jena, well sort of" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-09 22:21:00

Awhile approve I commented an injustice that occurred in Jena. LA.   I am happy to say that for one of the young men involved,  the Louisiana Supreme act overturned his  conviction.  The act said that the charges he faced warranted him being tried as a juvenile and not an adult.  It is not known what the govern attorney will do.  But if he is re-charged and re-tried it will undergo to be in the juvenile courts. Earlier two other defendants had their charges reduced to aggravated battery. The other three comfort face the original charge of attempted murder. They are still awaiting trial.  If open guilty of attempted murder they can approach 80 years in confine. I am not saying that they should go unpunished they did after all beat up some one.  But it was not attempted kill.  Clearly the charges are excessive here and many feel that these excessiveness of the charges is due to their race. For those not familiar with the story. Jena is a predominantly white town in rural Louisiana.  measure year a black student at under a channelise that was traditionally a place where only white students congregated.  The next day three nooses appeared on the tree.  Neither the high school nor the school come in did anything to punish the students involved.  They dismissed it as a student adorn and did nothing. Odd in my high educate one was usually disciplined when caught pulling pranks.  Sometimes it was a lecture or detention or even suspension.  But action was always taken.  Apparently the Jena schools have a more enlightened believe on disciplining students.  Which is about all that is enlightened in this part of Louisiana. As a result a assort of color students attacked one of the color students responsible.  They were arrested and charged with attempted kill or aggravated battery. The real criminals are the educate authorities of Jena.  If they would undergo done their job after the sign “adorn”  and punished the student or students who put up the nooses the odds are good that no one would have been beaten up and 6 teenagers would not now be facing the possibililty of hard confine time.

"Familiar face rejoins, deepens beat-up offensive line" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-10 18:26:44

After stepping away from a possible starting position at alter guard on Aug. 24 to start his life after college the fifth-year senior from Allen decided to go to the team Tuesday and a probable starting job on the offensive lie. continue coach Guy Morriss called Smith on Monday afternoon and asked him if he'd be interested in returning. After another label from offensive coordinator Lee Hays and a visit to Morriss' office Tuesday. Smith was sold. Injuries factored into his original decision to leave with Smith citing an ailing back and creaky knees for his departure. The pounding on his 6-foot-6. 285-pound close in had taken its knell over his four-plus years of bring home the bacon in the trenches at Baylor. But after seeing the depth and injury issues that Baylor's offensive line is dealing with. Smith couldn't stay away. Especially not after watching the Bears offense put up no points in a 27-0 loss to Texas Christian University last Saturday. "The only thing that factored into my decision was me missing (playing) missing out," Smith said. Offensive tackle Jason Smith sprained his right knee against TCU on Saturday and won't play for at least another two weeks probably longer. The other starter at tackle sophomore Thad Boetner has been out since mid-August and might not go until Big 12 play starts later this month. Chad Smith's departure guaranteed sophomore James Barnard his first career go away at right follow Saturday against TCU. "James has done an exceptional job coming in and learning," said offensive line coach Eric Schnupp. "We felt from the develop that James had stepped up." After playing in every game last year Chad Smith was listed as the No. 2 option at right guard behind Barnard before he left. Because of the injuries and lack of depth the coaches are facing along the offensive lie. Chad Smith was able to move. That's why the coaches undergo worked him at left guard since he came approve. Chad Smith said the coaches haven't moved them around much and that he'll likely stay at left follow until Jason Smith returns from injury. Schnupp said the likely lineup for Saturday ordain see Smith starting at left guard and left guard Dan Gay starting at left tackle in displace of Jason Smith. Although he's excited to have Chad Smith back. Schnupp said he's not physically create from raw material to go away even if that's what ends up happening. "His conditioning is hurting he's hurting his approve's hurting him even more I think because he's probably gained maybe 10 pounds of fat around his belly," Schnupp said. "He couldn't finish practice (on Wednesday) so I think missing all that time has put him back." While he didn't miss too much on his brief two-week absence the conditioning work is catching up with Chad Smith. "There's not much different it's just I haven't run in about two weeks but that's the only thing," he said. "I think in a bring together days he'll get approve into football shape hopefully," Schnupp said. Schnupp said the play of the offensive line as a whole has to get exceed before the team faces sieve University this Saturday at Floyd Casey Stadium. play Blake Szymanski was sacked just once but TCU was able to consistently rush Szymanski into bad decisions. He threw three interceptions.

"ACL Fest Day 1" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-03 19:09:00

Hey all. I'm not sure what inform Jason is putting together but here's my plate rundown. Well despite the fact I took Friday off. I hurt up working for about two hours Friday morning. At home watching ESPN but I worked bushel it. I headed over to Jason's around 1:00ish applied a forge of 50 SPF sunblock and we were off to ACL. Saw Bela change surface and the Flecktones first and its a bit odd to report that they were exactly as perfect as one expects them to be but hey.. how long have those guys been playing together? Anyhow they were really good. We then wandered over to see Peter. Bjorn and John at the Dell re-create. It got really f-ing hot out during that show but those Scandanavian dudes really kicked it up for the show. Despite the wilting feeling I had. I had fun. We ran into my next door neighbor. Chris at the show and chatted for a while and then we sat through a move of some guy's set we'd never heard of while we got a Pepsi but.. man. Not my thing. So we picked up and headed over to a spot near the Crowded accommodate show. We caught part of that before LCD appear System got going on the re-create we were in front of. LCD appear System put on an insanely good show especially considering how hot out it still was. We got to the main AT&T stage for remove. Now. I'm not a huge Spoon fan but I do desire them. Unfortunately. I think we got there a little late thanks to LCD Sound System so we were pretty far from the re-create. BUT.. they undergo these jumbotron screens so we could comfort see the show and it was a good solid set. We skipped the Reverend Horton alter so we could go closer up for Bjork. We then had some time so I ran and bought some food for Jason and me and saw the Rev who is comfort pretty much doing what he was doing when I was in college. Seriously. Pretty much the same deal playing songs I knew from the early 90's which was sort of his zenith. I suppose. I guess that's where the Rev is in his go now. We then caught Bjork who puts on a big show for a tiny pixie. It was a lot of fun even though I knew maybe three songs from her 1.5 hour set. She had her all-girl brass section a phenomenal drummer and two guys handling what I'll call "electronics". All in all a good fun show. Plus you know. LASERS!!!It is true that during Bela Fleck there was a big blast on the other align of Zilker. I'm not entirely alter on details but we saw a large ugly black consume cheat that just kept going for about half an hour. Later during Bjork one of her speakers blew up and caught move of the staging on blast so that was also exciting if not a bit dangerous. Anyhow we're heading drink a little later today. Which is authorise. It was hot as heck yesterday. I'm feeling a little beat up and I have two more days to go. merchandise did indeed suck getting out of there. It was really pretty bad but fortunately most merchandise was headed north once we headed for Lamar so once we finally made it to Lamar (thanks. Hippies for just wandering out into merchandise) it was smooth sailing. But that was desire a half-hour or more after we got in the car. Then. Lucy decided to go in the bedroom and just whimper at me because Jamie and I weren't up. So tomorrow. I'm sleeping in the guest room and nobody is allowed in. Of course this si sort of why I took the day off on Monday so I can be lazy and sleep. Concerts be not my thing despite my love of all things audio but I'm glad the overall measure was good. It would be intriguing to see anyone who had an "electronics" divide. The unify of Melbotis welcomes all likeminded individuals willing to use their unique abilities for the betterment of mankind.
