Personally, I think you don't even give to them.

The problem with the Foundation- and I'm a member- is that they want to bring back football but are asking the wrong people to do it.

To ask the people that killed the program to bring it back is folly. There's already tons of red tape that they have set up- the fundraising demands and methods- not using Memorial Center as a temporary venue for the team- insisting the students must vote on the return (why should the Class of 2007 determine the cultural assets of the area and the future tuition, scholarships, entertainment, and exposure future classes will get? A LEADER makes a decision- he doesn't ask the pawns to make a decision for him).

Friday's interview where Mullins didn't even mention the football effort was so telling. If you can't see that- you're blind.

Yeah, good idea. Dont donate any money to the athletics program. That will make us better.

In the long run it will.

That's the thing about ETSU. They always look at the SHORT TERM- never the long.

We'll cut football without thinking about how it will effect our conference status. We'll make sure the school board president will be in on hiring a coach- so a guy who will be gone in a year will be in on a long term hiring decision.

We'll give the Class of 2007 the vote on whether or not to raise the activity fees of the Class of 2013! In fact, we'll put it in THEIR HANDS whether or not the entire community's sports industry grows or not!

Yeah. Give these guys all your money.

They've certainly shown they know what to do with it!

Actually I have a good idea how ETSU could raise money. I hear that Pitt won a contest where he screamed like Howard Dean. We could use him for parties and stuff. People would pay him to get a bullhorn, scream like an idiot, and all the money he raised, he could donate to ETSU.

What do you think Pitt?

Actually I work for the number one radio station in the market now. Are you still unemployed?

Way to go. 8 to midnight. Woo-hoo!

The last guy I knew who had that shift, who kissed butt and was yes-sir and no-sir to Mr. Personality, who turned down a morning gig in Roanoke to say "I work for the No. 1 station in the market! YAY!" was moved to the overnight shift.

I don't hate everyone at B.B. In fact, I like most of them, including YOU.

But I do not like Hagy. Very shady character.

And he'll brag on his cold leadership bringing WXBQ to No. 1.

However, that's a bunch of bunk. It is not difficult to be No. 1 in the Tri-Cities when you program country music. Everyone in the Haven of Mercy could do it.

That said- congrats on your new position. No- really.

You paid your dues. And I hope for your sake after they made you work like a dog with all that travel and hours you don't wind up another casualty there.

Really.
