Don't hold back Bling, tell us how you really feel.

I know I have issues with sugar coating it and not getting to the point but I'm working on it.

From a business standpoint I can see why the church would try and fanagle this until it passed and they didnt have to shell out a bunch of settlements but then when you think about it......IT'S A CHURCH !!!

I would think a church's moral fiber would be a little higher than say ENRON.

Sorry to fubar this thread with my rant but I think all kinds of debauchery runs through organized religion much worse than a little drunken heckling.

Bling, I agree with everything you said and would go even further. In the interest of letting this thread get on track, though, I will shut up.

Great chance for da Pope to smooth things over while in the US but he turned down a side trip to Boston to work on it, just too many popely duties this trip I guess

Victims in Boston Criticize Pope’s Comments

BOSTON — Pope Benedict XVI may have expressed his regrets on Tuesday for the child sexual-abuse scandal in the Catholic Church, saying he was “deeply ashamed,” but several abuse victims here, where the crisis erupted in 2002, said his comments rang hollow.

David Carney, who says a priest abused him during his freshman year at Catholic Memorial High School in West Roxbury, also dismissed the pope’s comments as insincere.

“Don’t sit around on your plane and talk about it,” said Mr. Carney, 41, who also attended the news conference. “If you’re ashamed about it, do something about it. A good company runs from the top down, right? Be a good boss.”

Mr. Carney also expressed bitterness about the pope’s decision not to visit Boston, where the Archdiocese of Boston, struggling financially after paying settlements to numerous victims, has closed parishes and schools. At best, he said, the pope’s comments on the abuse scandal were lip service to Boston Catholics.

OK enough of that, back to the topic of football.

So who will be attending the Spring game?

This is a good opportunity and proper public forum for those who wish to drunken heckle Coach Kragthorpe

Does anyone know the practice schedule and if they are open to the public?

I know Brandon is going to take photos for the site. Ron and I will be at the Derby All-Star Game Fan Fest at Bellarmine.

I'm excited to see Swopshire, Jennings, and all the McDonald's All Americans. I'll be getting as many autographs as I can... some eBay investments you could say.

After the spring game, practices will be closed.

after the spring game.. practice is over until the fall

[Empire Lindy]

I thought that Krag already closed practices to the fans. Did he change his mind on this decision? I know a lot of people were very upset that the doors were closed very early on this spring.

I really enjoy watching practice.
The players broken down into groups by position, being taught techniques by their position coach, seeing how each coach handles their approach to the players.

Seeing their practice habits gives you some insight into what kind of player they are.

Robert McCune treated practice like game day, he was trying to murder anyone with the ball.

He definitely took to heart the motto "practice like you play" playing with a guy like that FORCES you to raise your intensity
