Being a 3rd generation Albany State  alum,Albany State was the first campus I was on. I went to my first homecoming the same year I was born. Parents wanted to show me off to their LBs and LSs.

Ok, and acceptable move. Skinner is probably getting ready to retire and this an easy move as we go forward to either making him perm or conducting a search and getting someone permanent.

New York City?? I can see Morehouse bringing a contingent of fans and alumni since there are many in the DMV and New York/Jersey metro areas, Albany State not so much. I don't know who thought this matchup in NY was a good idea.

that's all...   

Yogi, not going to argue with you on that point. I do not like Classics as whole, with the exception of the FCC. I prefer Home and Home to get the revenue and build the fan base. Albany State has a great fan base that will travel, but at the same time we are a Regional School and I am ok with acknowledging that. Now, I will go to the game, albeit to have a reason to go NYC. This is the second time we have played Morehouse out of state, we played them in the now defunct Silver Dollar Classic in San Diego, we actually had more fans then them, and I was shocked. With it being in NYC right after the start of the Fall Semester and refund checks having dropped (lol) I expect a good turnout. Alumni travelled well to the Chicago Classic and Circle Classic in past years. They got time to prepare, plus it is NYC and that is more of the draw than the game. I hope Recruitment and Admissions go up early and pull a few students.

oh well, when the shoe is on the other foot.  Not a fan of any of the squad. Loud and abrasive is not always right nor is it always wrong; it might get you the attention, but does it move any legislation.

Politics / Re: Rep. Hank Johnson Suggests Classified Documents were planted

I said this immediately when I heard about it.

Suspicious’ Rep. Hank Johnson Suggests Classified Documents Linked To Biden May Have Been ‘Planted’

https://wtlcfm.com/3421839/suspicious-rep-hank-johnson-suggests-classified-documents-linked-to-biden-may-have-been-planted/

The more that comes out about this, screams to purposefully mishandling. It seems as if they wanted this leaked to press before/runoff but someone got wind of it and went looking for them, found them and self reported. Which is the correct action, keep in mind they did not have to, because they were not missing. They were not being looked for. These documents are from his VP years, two presidencies ago.

Politics / Re: AG Garland appoints special counsel after new batch of Biden classified docs unc

« on: January 13, 2023, 01:20:17 PM »

I think most do not understand how the Federal Law works; therefore most think Garland is weak. The main difference is Garland does not leak or create a narrative, he do not give in to the media and make a press conference out of everything.  He is METHODICAL in approach. Law is about methods, practice, and sound judgement. Move to quick, bow to pressure and your case is lost before it make it to the courtroom. A sound lawyer never brings a case unless he has sound, concrete evidence. In this follow the media/social media frenzy, you better be glad for a steady hand. Garland is boring, but he is good. He is exactly what Biden needs, a flashy, over the top AG would be more of a problem. Biden needs a better WH PR team.

I do think that Obama should have nominated a black judge, and let Mitch them  go against that. It was easy to go against Garland.

I like Ga. football to a degree.  However. their deep pocket boosters do not want a black qb.  Look how they did DJ Shockley and Justin Fields.

Jake Fromm was God awful, and they would not play Fields.
At least he and his parents  got the hell out of dodge and let that talent ride the pines for 4 years.

Rather than transfer, Shockley ruined his chances to go pro by sitting on splinters.

As much as I am GA FAN, I concur with you 100%.  Shockley should have transferred, his dad messed that up for him.

It was not much different when Quincy Carter was QB at UGA.

You are correct, and I hated that he went to the NFL way too early. He needed more development.

I feel you on this one, we gonna agree to disagree on Bennett, because he got the job done when the others did not.

Let's be real, some of you all do not even support your own HBCU conference schools, think you are better them. I can count the oh so many times AUC schools have looked down, not supported, rooted for or been friendly to my Alma Mater, and honesty transparency I do not root for them either.

Now, if you do not like UGA that is your right, but do not come in here acting all different.

I guess this is directed towards me. How am I acting different and you don’t even KNOW ME.  I guess you’ve been holding that in for awhile. It took a PWI  championship to get it off your chest.  I can’t stand the Dawgs, and most folks who have paid attention to my post over the yrs know this. 
You telling grown folks how to act is rich.

Don't give yourself that much credit. My dislike for the AUC predates you. I consider you Onnidan nouveau riche.
