On The Team

What do you think about the influence of sports teams in schools? Do you think there is too much influence on sports teams instead of academics? Or do you think they balance out well?
What do you think about the influence of sports teams in schools? Do you think there is too much influence on sports teams instead of academics? Or do you think they balance out well? If you don’t then which one is focused on more and is it a good or bad thing?

sports are bigger then academics

Winning the 2006 FIFA World Cup was a massive achievement, but winning two in a row would be even grander. That’s exactly what Italy will be trying to do as they take the pitch in South Africa.

Hello everyone! I am doing a little sociology project, looking at the demography of sports. I want to know which major league teams are the most popular in your *immediate* area where you live. This could mean your town or your neighborhood if you live in a big city. If two teams are even in your area, please describe. There’s no right answer, it’s just what you perceive to be most popular. I am collecting data on 5 sports. If you don’t know any, just leave it blank.

Baseball
Football (NFL)
Football (college)
Basketball
Hockey

Please also to remember to tell me what town you live in!

Thanks everyone!

I’ll go with the Leafs since you put this in the hockey section….even though the Leafs ARE the most popular in Toronto anyhow….

***UPDATED**** A THIRD OF THE WATERS?
Whose SWAT Teams Are On All Gulf Of Mexico Oil Rigs And What The Are They Doing?
US Orders Blackout Over Gulf Of Mexico Oil Rig
http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/7523004/
A SECOND OIL DRILLING has overturned near Morgan City, Louisiana, after the oil slick from the first accident in the Gulf of Mexico washed ashore.

No injuries have been reported. The overturned rig is unrelated to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that threatens the coast’s fragile ecosystem.

US Coast Guard officials are currently investigating reports as fishermen in coastal towns fear for their livelihood.

The oil rig can carry about 20,000 gallons of diesel fuel, but Coast Guard officials do not know how much fuel was on board. Coast Guard investigators say no fuel leaks have been found so far.

About 500 feet of boom has been set up around the rig as a precaution to contain any fuel that might leak.

Florida, Louisiana, and Alabama have already declared a state of emergency.

The spreading oil slick from the first oil rig catastrophe has forced the US administration to rethink plans to increase offshore drilling. The White House has banned oil drilling in new areas off the US coast to step up its response to the worsening situation.

Normally I would say, ‘Something isn’t right here’, this time I am saying NOTHING is right here. Why would this happen? Government takeover of the Oil Industry and to get you used to Police/Military Response to ANYTHING.

An excerpt from ‘the great one’, Mark Levin, from his April 29, 2010 radio show. Dr Levin is dumbstruck when he hears the comments made by President Obama to send ARMED SWAT TEAMS to ALL oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.
Owners: TRANSOCEAN: The DEEPWATER HORIZON is a Reading & Bates Falcon RBS8D design semi-submersible drilling unit capable of operating in harsh environments and water depths up to 8,000 ft (upgradeable to 10,000 ft) using 18¾in 15,000 psi BOP and 21in OD marine riser.

Season 1

Coach is angry with the players and especially with Abbas, the new team captain for breaking the rules of the camp. They all look unfit to play a friendly match that is to take place later in the afternoon. The Coach picks 7 of the team members who look better and leaves out Ben and Oli who are clearly nursing a hangover. The match is to go on as scheduled, within a few minutes the other team scores. The Team is doing badly; they barely get past the defenders of the opposing team. Abbas asks Priest to foul one of the lady players. Priest is only too glad to do it. He gets a Red card and has to leave the pitch. Imani looses to the other team.

Aren’t you tired of powerhouse college football teams scheduling cupcakes just so they can make sure they get in a BCS game? If they are so good, why don’t they prove it by having a strong out of conference schedule? Who else has disgust for this way of scheduling in college football?

I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. And every powerhouse team does it. It’s not like it’s just a few teams or one conference in particular…every single "Big 6" team schedules these games, so in that way it’s kind of fair. And if a team were to play too many cupcakes and make it to a BCS bowl, they would likely lose to the other team that played better teams, thus the whole situation works itself out anyway. Not to mention that "strength of schedule" is one of the 3 major determining factors is making the weekly AP rankings & bowl selections…
