Shouldn't the NCAA try to keep teams close to their home towns as much as possible when they divvy up the regions?

06/26/09 4:00pmHis music was really good when the Jacksons first came out. Poor guy he really had a screwed up life, and it made him a screwed up adult. But I appreciate his talent and all he gave his fans. May he rest in peace, at least I hope so?
Oh yes
06/26/09 4:02pmThriller was a great album and the dancing that Michael did was outstanding to say the least.
A very cute blog...from finding your inner child.
06/26/09 4:06pmI think a more correct title would be:
“Adults shouldn’t forget inner child (unless your name is Michael Jackson)”
Remember your staement, in the article about finding your inner child. I thought that it was so funny!!! Had to use it here.
To good to pass up! Hope you don’t mind Steve. From Hope
I see the face of God
06/26/09 7:30pmI lost all respect for him when he became white. I hope Comedy Central will play the Mr. Jefferson episode of South Park.

06/29/09 6:31pmI grew up with the Jackson’s. My younger sister has the biggest crush on Michael, afterall, he was her age. His life was very tragic, and very gifted. I feel he was robbed from having a real childhood and that lead to his adult problems. With that said I did enjoy his music and his talent.
WHY???
07/01/09 10:16amWhy wasn’t there an article about Farrah Fawcett’s passing in the Statenews? She was the most remembered Charlies Angel, and she stared on the series for just one season. I bet that she is the angel most remembered because of her bathing suite poster. Boy did the young men own that poster, back then!!!
