Goes against the prevailing thought that a school founded by Falwell would be forward thinking, at least on some things.

You know, you guys clap when I lecture our resident conservatives about political posts. It goes both ways.

Are we not talking about investing in the future? Oh, I forgot, in order to invest , you need some money. The most important factor in the formula to make money is the desire to do so. That's where we come up short; big time.

What's up with the Darnell hate? He committed his junior year, not late in senior year. Played in over 100 games, had over 300 points, 300 rebounds, and 100 assists. While that's not setting the world on fire, seems like an odd guy to call out.

Why call out anyone? If these guys were awarded scholarships that is wonderful. If their talent did not equate to great stats it was probably not their fault but rather the fault of those who recruited the player. It's not like these guys were not trying.

You and I are classmates. I agree with you 100%. I'm sure there are some guys on this board who sweated and bled profusely for Wm and Mary. I did. Calling out guys like Darnell or anyone is out of bounds.
