[RollTideFan] NCAA's Stupidty continues...
Im searching for a news story on this. I heard it on my local morning news, but havent found anything I can forward yet. But the story goes like this. U Georgia is playing Boise State in the opener. One of the kids from Boise has a father in Iraq. GA fans found out about it and paid for the man to come home to see his kid play, but the NCAA ruled that makes the GA fans Boise boosters and the gift is disallowed. So the guy cant come home. This is just ridiculous. I heard an NCAA fan say on fox news yesterday that if member schools dont agree with NCAA rulings they are free to pull out. Well, maybe thats just what needs to be done. http://www.the-sandbox.org I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us.

NCAA won't let them pay for dad's trip to game By CHIP TOWERS The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Published on: 08/11/05 ATHENS A group of Georgia football fans took up a collection to pay for a Boise State player's father to fly from Baghdad to see his son play against the Bulldogs in Athens. But the NCAA rule book got in the way. Dan Miller, father of Broncos sophomore guard Tad Miller, is a retired police lieutenant who is training Iraqi police officers. When Sam Hendrix of Signal Mountain, Tenn. suthndawg to his fellow Georgia fans on the Dawgvent, an Internet message board read a story in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution about the Millers, he started an online movement to raise the $2,700 it will cost Dad to make it to Sanford Stadium to see his son play in the home opener Sept. 3. Within moments of suthndawg's post, there were 25 to 50 people who offered to pledge money, said Ryan Crowe, a 25-year-old legal assistant from Atlanta who offered to collect and distribute the funds. It just took off from there. But when Crowe checked with the two schools, he was told the UGA fans' generosity would be a violation of NCAA bylaws regarding extra benefits and expenses for student athletes and their families. Ironically, by providing this money, these [Georgia] fans would in effect become Boise State boosters, said Amy Chisholm, UGA's assistant athletics director for compliance. The NCAA defines a booster as a representative of an institution's athletics interests. NCAA spokeswoman Gail Dent did not have an immediate response to questions about the situation Wednesday. Makes no sense to me, said Hendrix, a 56-year-old marketing consultant. It just hits me that twice in a week, these people have lost touch with reality. The NCAA caused a furor when it ruled last week that member schools' Native American mascots would no longer be allowed at championship events. Word of the Georgia fans' good intentions and their being thwarted spread quickly via the Internet. It was such a nice and giving gesture, I almost felt embarrassed, said Kathy Miller, Tad's mother, who lives in Boise, Idaho. We appreciate it so much. But we want people to know that the company Dan contracts for pays for his RR every six months, and this will be his first time home since January. So his travel is taken care of. Perhaps they can collect money to send some underprivileged kids to the game or something, she added. Kathy Miller said the family received other overtures from Georgia fans. One offered to host a party for the family when it arrives in Athens. Miller said she is running everything by Boise State's compliance office. Said Crowe: Us Georgia fans love our football but, as a collective group, we're pretty hospitable people.

[RollTideFan] Are you a Democrat, Republican or Southern Republican
Forwarded from another list: Are you a Democrat, Republican or Southern Republican Here is a little test that will help you decide. Question: How do you tell the difference between Democrats, Republicans And Southern Republicans? The answer can be found by posing the following question: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you. You are carrying a Glock cal .40, and you are an expert shot? You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do? ~~~ Democrat's Answer: Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor! Or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? Should I call 9-1-1? Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior. This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus. ~ Republican's Answer: BANG! ~ Southern Republican's Answer: BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

RE: [RollTideFan] NCAA's Stupidty continues...
It's absolutely ludicrous. It seems that any last vestiges of common sense have been eradicated from the NCAA. I think it's time for some major schools to part company with them.

[RollTideFan] Tired Of Being On Welfare
A guy walks into the local welfare office, marches straight up to the counter and says, Hi... You know, I just HATE drawing welfare. I'd really rather have a job. The social worker behind the counter says, Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur/bodyguard for his nymphomaniac daughter. You'll have to drive around in his Mercedes, but he'll supply all of your clothes. Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You'll be expected to escort her on her overseas holiday trips. You will have to satisfy her sexual urges. You'll have a two-bedroom apartment above the garage. The starting salary is $200,000 a year. The guy says, You're bullshittin' me! The social worker says, Yeah, well, you started it. ___ RollTideFan - The University of Alabama Athletics E-mail Discussion List Welcome to RollTideFan - Wear a Cup!

Re: [RollTideFan] Tickets
Alabama football ticket shipments delayed For Alabama football fans, the anxious wait for their season football tickets to arrive has just become a few days longer. Word came late Thursday that all University of Alabama season tickets, originally to be shipped on Friday, August 12, would be delayed a few days. ÂLate Thursday afternoon, we were informed by our ticket printing company in Arkansas that our season ticket shipments were being delayed, said Rhoda Vaughn, athletic ticket manager. ÂFor weeks, weÂve been telling our customers that August 12th would be the ship date, and until Thursday afternoon, we had no reason to doubt that. Needless to say, we were very disappointed with the news. Vaughn added that similar calls from the Arkansas ticket printing company were made to several ticket offices across the country, including at least five schools from the Southeastern Conference. ÂItÂs certainly no consolation, but several schools were given the same news regarding their season tickets, Vaughn said. ÂObviously, weÂll be following up with our ticket printing company to identify and address these issues. United Parcel Service (UPS), which is contracted by the Athletic Ticket Office to ship the season tickets, is also contracted to ship road game tickets. ÂUnlike our season tickets, which are shipped from our ticket printing company in Arkansas, our road game tickets are shipped from our offices here on campus, and theyÂre all ready to go, Vaughn said. ÂHowever, so that the receipt of season tickets and road game tickets can be simultaneous, we will hold the road game ticket shipments for a few days until weÂre informed of a new ship date of the season tickets. Once we get a firm ship date, weÂll then release the road game ticket shipment so they can enter the UPS system at the same time and hopefully be delivered to our customers at the same time. Likewise, UPS is contracted to ship most of the TIDE PRIDE amenities packages, while some are mailed through the United States Postal Service. ÂThe amenities packages that are scheduled to be shipped by UPS are ready to go, said Tommy Ford, director of TIDE PRIDE, Âbut weÂre holding them until we hear word on the season ticket shipment. It has always been our preference, as well as UPSÂs, for the amenities and the tickets to go out and be delivered at the same time. WeÂll also delay any amenities packages that are scheduled to be mailed through the Post Office. Anyone who ordered Alabama single game tickets will be receiving them earlier via the United States Postal Service. ÂOur single game tickets had already been taken to the Post Office and were already in the mail system, Vaughn said. ÂThe mailing of those could not be delayed, so theyÂll be delivered earlier than the other items. Vaughn said that the Ticket Office hopes to hear by Monday when the season tickets will be shipped. ÂDespite the delay, season tickets will arrive to our customers in plenty of time for our home opener on September 3rd. When your tickets are shipped, you will receive an email shipping notification. This notification will include your tracking number link which will allow you to easily track your package. -Original Message- From: Joe Goodson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Aug 12, 2005 9:42 PM To: RollTideFan - University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List RTF@rolltidefan.net Subject: Re: [RollTideFan] Tickets I'll take any tickets for games that anyone can't attend.
