I know the government is going after drug runners and illegal aliens but I think cybercriminals are pretty evil. We should maybe have an even bigger emphasis...

I read everything that comes out about the (proposed) med school. I really hope it succeeds. It seems to be on track, money-wise and with all these residency...

Also to give an idea of the college wrestling landscape, Penn State won 7 of 10 weight classes in the Big 10 championships over the weekend. That essentially...

I get it but I love the free flow of comments on here and we always seem to end up policing ourselves....

[iupgroundhog]

What is happening right now is far beyond a conversation about gas prices....

[iupgroundhog]

The President can provide a lot of direction. Welty prioritized revenue sports. So did Dr. Front Porch but that didn't work out too well. What they did...
