I also applaud firsdev's use of sophistry, even though I disagree with its application here. . I have to admit, I had to look that one up. Who needs Reader's Digest "Word Power" when we have the Bandwagon

I don't believe Klaus Fuchs was ever a threat to our national security. No, I have to agree with firstdev here. He really was. I also applaud firsdev's use of sophistry, even though I disagree with its application here. However, I'm afraid I'm in even greater agreement with agoo. Worth Smith must have been running a pretty good sale on tin-foil hats this month. I agree that recognition is due for firstdev's vocabulary skills. He is also a skilled rhetorician. Unfortunately, I have to be of the opinion that his use of "sophistry" is aligned with the cliché of "People who live in glass houses..." I hope firstdev is just funnin' with us.

I hope firstdev is just funnin' with us. I think not but I've wondered about that myself. If he is, my hat's off to him, and not my tin-foil one, either.

He's been a troll for a while, but he disguises it very well with elaborate posts. "Ramble ramble, Fort Duquesne, ramble ramble, Kenney working for UMass, ramble ramble."

The only trolls on this board are those who failed the intestinal fortitude test, and fail to support our student and fan traditions in the full face of an attack by a new AD who is apparently fascinated by only one principle - greed. I can see the job interview now - Trustee X - "So how much money can you raise and how quickly?" Trustee X - "Because that's all were really after, we do not care if you are an alum or know anything about the history and traditions of the this university, we are only concerned about cold, hard, cash - do what you wish to the students section and student fans, you have a free hand - and we promise to support you regardless of the blowback from students, fans, season ticket holds - just go do it." AK - "Wow this sounds just like Wall Street I'm in!" Students, alums, fans, season ticket holders drop head - just the NY Post headline of '75 "Ford to New York - Drop Dead". And you wonder why its difficult to recruit frosh? Once they hear they will treated like some kind of caged endangered species do you really think that they will come here and spent four formative years of their young life living in a police state - sit down, stand up, stop the language, costumes not allowed, want to be ejected? - once you repress their natural energy and support you will never recover it, and the place will be dead empty like UB's Alumni Arena (oh wait isn't AK from UB?). Again the game ball is in the hands of trustees!

Maybe BHO, our illustrious POTUS can be a visiting prof when his term expires.

Its not even close to being over. TK's actions in the seating scandal really call into question his ability to be in charge of athletics at Bonas. Crude, insensitive and unable and apparently unwilling to seek advice and counsel from alums, fans, season ticket holders, and FOSBU. He needs to make a full and sincere apology to this community, and junk this wrongheaded policy. No excuses. Get it done.

Should I or should I not give to the gofundme thing at this point? I was hoping that the decision was going to change.

We have the history we have and a row of seats is getting called a scandal?

W@est End - you really need to post a better picture of yourself. The one above is dated, I know you are more hansom than that. Actually TK will be wearing the foil if the student decide to boycott the games.
