| Question 1: UNF freshman Steve Hillan hit a home run to give the UNF baseball team a 5-4 win over No. 6 Florida State. What does this say about Hillan’s future career at UNF? |
|||
| It says he is better suited to play for a school that would attract him national attention. Or maybe he believes in the big fish, little pond scenario. Either way, I don’t really care. | It says we should unfairly expect a home run from him in every at-bat. | The home run was Hillan’s first collegiate hit of his career. He will no doubt be in the spotlight in the future. | Hillan looked pretty good out there, especially for his first time batting in college. I thought I saw him in my dance class, so he must have learned a thing or two. |
| Question 2: Due to an academic cheating scandal, Florida State University will lose football scholarships, forfeit numerous games and suffer a four-year probation. Will prospects rethink being a Seminole because of this? |
|||
| After the whole free-shoes incident a few years back, students still consider the university as a shining city on a hill? | Athletes who place a high importance on academics will continue to go to Stanford or orthwestern, and the Deion Sanders of the world will continue to go to FSU. | I would rather be a cheater than a Gator, but I’m sure a lot of student athletes will rethink going to FSU for college. | Those Seminoles need to be whipped by my ribbon and taught that cheating won’t get you anywhere in life. |
| Question 3: NFL superstar Terrell Owens recently signed with the Buffalo Bills after being released from the Dallas Cowboys. What lies ahead in this controversial star’s future? |
|||
| Who cares? TO is the definition of overexposed and overrated. Why don’t we discuss current sports screw-ups like Michael Phelps or A-Roid? I hear there is greater news value out there. | I’m guessing a few months of blissful on-field production followed by discontent and a disgruntled media blitz. Driveway sit-ups and “accidental” overdoses on painkillers are optional. | I don’t understand why people like Owens, but I do understand why Dallas traded him. I wouldn’t want him on my team. | Owens won’t be making too many dollar bills with the Buffalo Bills anytime soon. His touchdown dances are quickly going out of style. |
| Question 4: Alabama State University, along with center Chief Kickingstallionsims, is on the edge of earning an invite to college basketball’s March Madness tournament. Does Chief’s name alone warrant a bid? |
|||
| Sure it’s a cool name, but it cannot compete with Chief Demondeaconswillwintheentiretournamentanyways. So, now that that has been established, something about a moot point comes to mind. | Absolutely. His name also warrants inclusion in the pantheon of great basketball names along with World B. Free and God Shamgod. | My eye twitched just saying it. I can’t imagine going through high school with that name. | Kickingstallionsims sounds like a great ribbon dancing name. He should really consider switching sports in his future. |
