It takes a “capable” coach to guide a team to a 22-point fourth quarter lead. It takes a better coach to know what to do with that lead. Rich Ellerson is a “capable” coach, but he still lacks the very necessary intangible of killer instinct.
Homecoming may have been “just one game,” but one game can swing a season.
With all of the countless injustices going on around the world today, it’s easy to brush it all aside and dismiss it as someone else’s business. But there is an atrocity happening in Darfur, Sudan, that must be stopped now. 400,000 men, women and children have been killed in Darfur.
I was extremely disappointed in Matt Bushman’s Glass Half Full column that ran Wednesday. He fails to point out that the Republican majority imposes rules that restrict debate on the congressional floor on bills the GOP attempts to pass.
He did not mention that the privatization of Social Security was unpopular on both sides of Capitol Hill.
If all the headlines are correct, America is headed downhill, fast. We have been blasted with news that our economy is terrible, we are losing the war on terror and the Democrats are going to retake control of the House. I include that last headline not because it is one political party or another, but because of the method by which that particular party is trying to gain power.
With less than two weeks left until the 2006 midterm elections, the Democratic Party appears poised to seize control of the House and Senate due to the gross incompetence and rampant corruption within the Republican leadership. Unfortunately, Democrats will be hard-pressed to change the current direction of the country.
With all due respect to Mr. Goulding’s football coaching abilities, I think his comment that Cal Poly should find another football coach is over the line and ridiculous. Rich Ellerson is one of the most respected and capable coaches in football. He has brought a first class program to Cal Poly.
Halloween is a week away, but I’m already spooked.
It’s not a soul-gripping fear, not an absolute terror instilled in my heart (but for some, the idea may be that frightening). It sends a chill down my spine, a shudder that makes my shoulders tense and teeth clench – and it has something to do with a figure in a white dress.
It was all working out perfectly. My last Homecoming game and the Mustangs had a 22-point lead going into the fourth quarter. The crowd was having a good time, everything was almost perfect, until head coach Rich Ellerson decided to throw out his offensive playbook and ruin it all.
For all those who vote (everyone I hope) you should first know the facts. Prop 86 will raise the price of a pack of cigarettes by $2.60, and fiscal revenues will rise by more than $2 billion. Who gets it?
Foremost, prop 10 (nothing to do with smoking) gets back funded by about $180 per year.
While the issue of outsourcing is hardly mentioned anymore in the current news cycle, it is one of the most relevant issues of our generation because it could affect many people’s employment prospects. Even I will acknowledge that outsourcing is not a sexy topic, I mean the country is at war and elections are coming up, but in a college full of engineers and industrial technology students (The two hot job exports right now) the concern over outsourcing must have crossed their minds at least once.
In recent years, global warming has been an increasingly hot topic in the voice of the media and the ears of the mainstream. As the issue of global climate change has been continually politicized, opinions and statistics have been thrown at the public from every direction.
