Has nothing to do with football or basketball. He's a recognizable face of U of L who's suffered a mild stroke. He is from what I am told, a very, very knowledgeable football guy. I think it would pump up the fans to see him if he is healthy, more than the likes of a JL.
Yep and Ali used to drive my Dad nuts. LOL. I never really paid much attention to his rants or social stances. I loved watching him box though. The greatest of all time.
I appreciate your service Senore2006. I was a little young so I missed that war. It was over when I turned 16. I joined the Army late in life and served 8 years myself. Best 8 years of my life too in spite of the wars going on. Found my wife. Got some education. Learned different view points and cultures; and frankly that experience was more valuable than the sheepskin. Most of us don't understand how great this country really is until we set foot in one that doesn't have our way of life available to its citizens. We really are blessed as Americans. Sometimes that gets lost in all the craziness.
LOL, I came home from Korea with a gal who was in the Peace Corps there - learned much language from her and toured the entire country, visiting temples, speaking with Buddhist monks about religion and, one notable time, "riding" racehorses who were from a track closed in Seoul on a ride that bucked me off, hanging on by a thread in front of laughing friends as I struggled to keep the idiot horse from bouncing right into the only highway in Korea. Good and crazy times, including the discovery of mary ju-wanna. Hilariously, they have had it around for centuries, calling it "Country Tobacco." Good times.
Not an argument, but a question.
OT here but:
It's all about perspective IMO. Going to other countries and meeting people from around the world really opened my eyes to just how special the United States of America is. I love this country; warts and all because deep in my heart I know how special this country really is. I know we have issues. I know we have problems. I know we have a certain percentage of people who live in the USA who hate it, but all they have to do is go live in a 3rd world country for a little while. They'll understand what they really have and what they're trying to throw away.OT here but:
Sitting in a US History class as a college Fr, the professor went OT one day and rambled.
He said: "You men in this class; we can't teach you anything you really need to know. You should head to the coast, and get jobs on freighters traveling the world. That's where you will receive an education like you will never get in school"
I remember that more than anything he ever said in class. Of course I didn't, and today kind of regret it. I've done ok and can't complain.
but what could have been.......... ?
No doubt. Pitino didn't even make my top 10.Boo
