[quote Rich S]the same old crap[/quote]Shut. Up.

You are responding to a three week old post that says nothing controversial and states the obvious position of Ivy League sports fans.

[RichS]

very clever of you to attribute your "crap" to me.  It's also tasteless on your part.

It may be a 3 week old post but it's the first time I saw it.  So "shut up".  lol

It IS controversial in that it makes the point that doing it the Ivy way is "right."

Who says so?  What makes granting athletic scholarships "right" or "wrong."  Having an opinion is fine but claiming that the Ivy way is the right way isn't.

Clearly many other D1 schools don't feel that way.

Chill out, ok?

[quote jtwcornell91][quote Liz '05][quote Jerseygirl]Silly me, I read that thread title before seeing who started it, and thought the "cha" was something like "chi" or energy flow.[/quote]

I thought "cha...as in cha-cha?"  [/quote]

You and me both. ;-)[/quote]

Nobody saw it as the Cornell Hockey Association?  Interesting.

It must be a *total* coincidence.

Who says so?  What makes ugarte's digs "tasteless" or "funny"?  Having an opinion is fine but claiming that the RichS way is the right way isn't.

Ah, he said "lol".  What came before it must have been funny!

I think you meant to say "must of". :-} ::nut::

[Rich S]

First off, I didn't call anyone a "name."  Look back and you'll see that ugarte said "shut up" because he apparently could not handle a dissenting opinion.  I just simply added "lol" to my "shut up" response to him.  Follow?

Secondly, What makes his post tasteless is that he formatted his own "same old crap" comment to look like he was quoting me as having said it.  That's weak.

Thirdly, I didn't say that the "Rich S way" was right.  The point, which was clearly stated, is that there's nothing that says the Ivy way, or the non-Ivy way is "right."  What gives anyone the right to declare one right and the others wrong.

Coincidence you ask?  Nope.  I expressed my opinion directly.  A few of you chose to make a spat out of it.  Now that indeed is the same old crap.

I have no idea why you think anyone would think that it was an actual quote. It isn't really the sort of thing you say.

Now that indeed is the same old crap.

Or maybe it is.

Hockey deprivation.....It must cause tastelessness!!!  Can we please be more civil folks!
If you've ever worked on a Special Olympics or known a participant, you would understand just how low this conversation has degraded.

[Rich S]

I have not worked with the Special Olympics but have worked with many Special Ed kids the past few years.

Yes, I do appreciate the tastelessness and insensitivity of the reference to them in the context of this discussion.

[CowbellGuy]

And if anyone knows tastelessness and insensitivity...
