Nope. If he leaves because we are winning, it sets us up for another good coach who sees it can be done here. If we lose even with Buzz, we are forever a basement dweller in the eyes of many.

So let's say he does leave after this year...does anyone wish that we didn't go on a winning streak late in the season? It has to be pondered, essentially IMO if the team doesn't catch fire and start rolling late, would this even be a discussion?

Yea - totally forced statement. I mean, he didn't reference Jefferson, or say the word "grounds." That's how one knows it is forced.

So that was pretty sweet!

So most of the people you know who have gone to North Korea are attending that specific event each year? This still fascinates me, it is also really cool how diverse the TKP community is when it comes to location and such.

totally forced statement as well. Although he is a UVA student and therefore unlikable from the get go, we do need to get him back. I mean for a "prestigious" university that's a pretty dumb move. 15 years of forced labor will probably kill him anyways if he's not used to a rough life from the start. Also, Un seem a little more unstable than his father so......

NPR had a story on North Korean defectors and what their lives were like after settling into South Korean culture. It was pretty eye opening, the things the defectors would mention as being what they liked most about South Korea. Like food being available at the market all days of the month and being able to read something not published by the government.

I know there's plenty of people who have gotten out. I'm not saying I think everyone is fully indoctrinated. But the people who got out are people who were willing to take significant risk to get out. I'd guess there are millions of North Koreans who have just accepted their lot. The people who got out wanted out. I can't even imagine what the path to reintegration would be like for people who don't want out.

Though the biggest threat to Korean reunification might just be the generation gap. Younger South Koreans just don't have it as a priority. They have no memory of a unified Korea, and they don't identify with their cousins in the North. When that generation assumes power, I think any hope of a reunification becomes significantly less likely.

Cassell was indeed rocking it last night with the Lady Hokies and lots of football guys in attendance, - of course big Tim Settle stood out most of all but not to outdo the presence of Dadi. It was easily, for me, the most "buzzed" crowd ever in Cassell when I was there. It was so good to see that we can win from inside ( yeah, I know we weren't looking up at their bigs for once) when the backcourt is off kilter though the buzzer beater 3 by Devin did shake the roof when the crowd let go.
All in all, that seemed like Lane to me last night. They might have out-three'd us, might have shot a better percentage at the foul line, but our rebounding and making more foul shots and minimizing the turn-overs got us through. If we go out to BYU and pull out a win, I think Cassell will rock 'n roll once more this season. First though, gotta go cheer on the Lady Hokies tonight.
