It was I who started the thread, and your
sentiment seems to be the prevailing thought --
at least from my perspective. To contrast with
the Vigilantes, it seems as if Bill Mallonee
spins his wheels in the music industry -- can't
get support from anyone except the fans --
despite being an incredible songwriter. OTR seems
to be plugging along just fine. Maybe I'm off
base here, but it's just my take, as one person
who (to get on to the more interesting topics on
the list):
1. Doesn't live in Kentucky but has been to
Asbury Theological Seminary to see my
sister-in-law graduate four or five years ago.
2. Doesn't give a hoot about IU, but was sad to
see my alma mater, IUP (Indiana University of
Pennsylvania), lose in the Final Four of the
Division II playoffs.
3. Doesn't give a hoot about Duke, but was even
sadder to see Elizabethtown College from
Pennsylvania lose the championship in the
Division III basketball playoffs.
4. Will root for Penn State against IU and all
other Big 10 schools next fall, despite Joe
Paterno's worst season ever last year.
