Oh yeah, I like sports. I just don't like BYU sports.
I have two degrees from Utah.
But I'm not about to come to a message board with "cougar" its name and talk smack on the Cougs. It's your house. Nice point about Solon's boy-fixation, MRD. It always freaks my students out when we talk about ancient Greek pederasty. No matter how much we think we know about those people, when it comes down to it, we don't know all that much. I chose the name Solon because he was one of the Seven Sages of ancient Greece. The other names are a little too difficult to pronounce. Although the Greeks disagreed on the exact makeup of the seven, here's one list: Solon, Bias, Chilon, Thales, Cleobulus, Pittacus, and Periander. The Solon who lived in Athens in the 6th century BC laid the foundations for democracy and abolished debt slavery. But yes, he was into poetry and little boys, and that's where my admiration ends. |
Mmmmmmmm Baseball.

Since I moved to PA, I've started following the Pirates for an NL team to root for. They're awful, but fun to watch. You? |

I can deal with you being a Red Sox fan. At least you don't follow the cult of the Bronx. |

Il Pad and Solon may appreciate my experience at Camden Yards. In the Summer of '04 I attended a game at Camden where the O's played the Red Sox. It turned out to be one of Nomar Garciaparra's last games as a Boston player. It was a fun game and I enjoyed seeing the bottom-dwelling Orioles defeat the eventual World Series champs that day. |
