They keep running away from what has made them successful. School spirit, pride in your school, pride in you state. They are leaving it all behind and that will bury them in the end.

……… ‘confession is good for the soul’, I’m told. But the bottom line is, in my humble opinion, can this group convince and get The Congress of the United States of America to pass laws that support their efforts, because you know darn well there’s going to be pushback. 8)

They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.
