The project to repave and “rehabilitate” Second Avenue in downtown Spokane began Aug. 2. The construction starts on the intersection with Sunset Highway, near Browne’s Addition, and extends to Howard Street. According to the city’s website, the project will restore Second Avenue as well as replace and repair a 12-inch water distribution main and various catch basins.
It the attitude like this that keeps students from every really appreciating more sports at Gonzaga. The thought of "come on guys, they don't have any friends, just hang out with them for a little bit," really minimizes the very real accomplishments of these other teams. How about instead of columns comparing them to the love for the basketball team, why not simply write a column about how great these teams are, period? Why does every mention of Gonzaga's sports have to be compared back to basketball?
So what does this mean for Gonzaga students' Facebook accounts? Is this change going to affect everyone who is using a "@gonzaga.edu" e-mail address for their Facebook login? I'd hate to think that Gonzaga students will be left out in the cold on December 31st when the old addresses cease to exist. Why not keep the old addresses working to forward old e-mails?
Seems like the author is just sore because he got beat by law school students. I know a lot of the law students that participate in intramural sports, and none of them are abrasive or bitter in school or on the field. I really don't see abrasive or bitter in the demeanor of the class of 2010 law school graduates either. Courtroom procedure is actually a very small portion of the law school curriculum. I'm sure if you contacted the law school admissions department, they would be glad to have you sit in on one of the many classes available this summer so you can see how "uncivil" they are. Law students are zealous, which explains the gusto they put into everything they do. You give yourself a lot of credit thinking that graduate students are out to get the undergrads. I really don't think anyone engages in intramural sports to "teach you a lesson." Maybe your subconscious leads you to perceive others' enthusiasm as an affront to your own athleticism or sports IQ, which seems like a personal problem and not an orchestrated attempt by law students to make you feel inferior. As a referee for high school basketball, football, and baseball, I have an appreciation for rules. The most important part about the rules and their application is to make sure that a team does not get an advantage not intended by the rules. My frustration with the intramural sports arena is the apathy that some officials have because they are not genuinely interested in being a good official, but they like the idea of earning a buck by running around instead of sitting in the bookstore.
The 'anonymous' post of Mar 27 shouldn't speak of things s/he knows NOTHING about. How much access have you had to the correspondence between Bing and his sons? I'm pretty sure not one second of access - and for those of us who have had access to ALL of that correspondence - and the financials that supplement it - you'd be singin' a different tune. Now back to our regulary schedule anonymous blogging.
Anonymous Poster #1: The plethora of arguments is not the point of the post. Miss Poston is simply trying to encourage her fellow Gonzaga students to become educated and be respectful while protesting.The Trustees meeting is not until later. It appears that you are one of the many who should be taking her excellent advise. -Anonymous Poster #2
Sorry I missed this earlier. Thanks Michael Humphreys for a great piece. The detractors hate the Church and her message. You are spot on. Note the hateful responses otherwise.
