  1. FYP /Excessive Grammar Correction Really, is it necessary to correct someone on their grammar, THANKS FOR TROLLIN!!!
  2. http://www.azcentral.com/sports/colleges/articles/20121127grand-canyon-university-join-western-athletic-conference.html It's official, Grand Canyon University to the WAC for all sports beginning next year.
  3. Well to fund the city. Whether it funds the Coyotes remains to be seen. Particularly since the mayor is on her way out and the new one doesn't support the Yotes half as much as she did. Jerry Weiers pretty much dominated the night yes, however he has said that he will work with the Coyotes and work with their budget. As far as Prop 457, without that tax we lose 1/3 of both of our Police Force and Firefighters and face a depression in the city with or without the Coyotes. Yes the Coyotes and the NHL with the $25 Million a year that have screwed the city of Glendale and the city of Glendale screwing themselves in the long run. But the tax will help the budget and the people no matter if there is a tenant at the Jobing.
  4. Don't think we will be seeing any more of herafter next Tuesday. She's down 25 points frher own election.
  5. Glendale will be fine if we lose the Coyotes. Especially Westgate, we have a new outlet mall next door that should bring in jobs and cash. Plus if the casino is built, that should bring in more money towards the Westgate City Center. The only thing that worries me is if Prop 457 does go through. 1/3 of all police officers and firefighters will be cut, no more festivals that could bring in cash and the 2 of the 3 libraries with the Primary library being closed 5 out of the 7 days. Reason why we Scruggs is the outgoing mayor. We have Manny Cruz and Jerry Weiers as the mayoral candidates of Glendale and already killing each other and how much they would cut in budget. Both seem wrong imo as they really haven't brought anything to the table that would fix the city.
  6. I have also read that the WAC is talking to Grand Canyon University in Phoenix about bringing their basketball, baseball and soccer team for the 2014 or 2015 season.
  7. Well, now that she doubled down on racism, she's sure to be re-elected in Arizona! What it doesn't show is the fact Clark also accused Alvarez of being un-american because she supports ending the lawsuit against the Tohono O'odham Tribe which is costing Glendale Millions. Yup this is my adopted home town.
  8. My question is why would the Mountain West Conference play their Championship Game at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona? You do know that the stadium is in Arizona State Territory.
  9. Welp, I was wrong. I really didn't think I'd ever read something on the boards that included the Coyotes and mentioned ELIMINATING parking lots... Whats more amazing is there are more people who are complaining about the building of a WinCo on the Eastside of Glendale than the whole Coyotes debacle. Well they are building the store on a stud farm that's been there for 60 years.
  10. To wonder why I'm moving to Tempe this year, Glendale has been my home for the last 25 or so years, but this Klown Kouncil is ruining the city. No Libraries, schools are being cut of their funds and Police officers are being laid off or have to transfer to other cities. Really sad day how a team can both morally and fically ruin what used to be a great city.
  11. At this point BigMac12 could do a better job as Mayor of Klownsdale. Scruggs is a great lady but :censored:ty Mayor!
  12. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/hockey/nhl/coyotes/story/2012-02-11/roenick-part-of-group-interested-in-coyotes/53046848/1 Looks like Roenick is part of the Jamison Group that wants to keep the 'Yotes in Glendale. Westgate City Center would likely be in the agreement to but the team as well.
  13. It's Military Night, been promoting the night as much as possible. Anyone in the Military gets in free. It is a nice gesture, plus having the Luke Air Force Base near them and being free, that should at least bring in at least another thousand, 7k tomorrow night!
  14. But yet it's not a Mexican School, it's the National Sports Commission of Mexico about the NCAA Division II. Rams may sound like an ass, but he knows what he's talking about, he's always had his facts straight from his time from the Arena Football Boards to here.
  15. Westgate is a nice area to go to if you are wanting to get away on a Saturday night, of course there is Tempe/Mill and Downtown Phoenix, but it is a good place to go to. Not defending the team, but the area is a booming place on the weekends.
  16. Not true on either point in certain cases. While football controls the discussion in college athletics, men's basketball and academics both are a decent part of it for certain conferences (ACC for both, Big Ten for academics only, etc). Academics, pfft. You know, as much crap as SEC fans rightfully get for that S-E-C-S-E-C "I hope our rivals win because somehow it makes us better" chanting, the Big Ten is the most masturbatory conference in college sports. At least all that South-will-rise-again stuff terminates at the end of football season; Big Ten circle-jerking permeates every aspect of everything. F*** football, when's the next womens game in that sport? Arizona gymnastics meets begin on January 6th...... Will Monica Bisordi be making an appearance? Yeah, she'll be coming. Can she still throw 100 MPH (but only for three or so pitches?) What? He's talking about the other Bisordi on the boards.
  17. Coyotes talking to 2 bidders One of them are the former CEO of the San Jose Sharks, Greg Jamison.
  18. Why do I have a feeling that in the end it will be Reinsdorf that buys the team and Westgate only to sell it 5 years later to the devil with no down payment?
  19. Not Football Related, but I heard on the news this past weekend that Grand Canyon University was moving up to Division 1 next year in Basketball, with talks of them joining either the Sun Belt or WAC. Don't have a link though
  20. Oh no, not this condescending bullcrap. hey it's tough to learn and read gooder like the kids at Arizona and Washington State Haha I've just got the UofA sig this week to piss of Gary. lol Nah, you won't piss me off, I was more intrigued. I was thinking, I didn't know he was an Arizona fan
  21. Think about it like this, I never once said Boise State couldn't be part of the big boy program. I'm just telling you that without academics you can't have athletics and vice versa. This was what i'm trying to get at. Wow really admiral? Arizona State isn't just known to be a party school, but some of the best faculties for teachers, PR associates and journalism, not to mention Architecture. I'm making a point that what makes this go round is that schools value their academics more than they do their athletics, but to make things go clockwork is the fact the academics come first for so many schools than they do athletics.
  22. But if i'm a parent looking for my child to go to a school and academics are everything, i'd at least want to go to a school where it has some high standards. Only %10 of the students go to the school for athletics in the first place. Alot of the money that is generated from football, basketball, football etc. eventually goes towards academics in a major way. It may sound like BS to you, but for the smaller schools in these conferences, they go towards academics more than they do athletics. Plus I do know that Boise State is in the Pac-10 when it comes to wrestling. Arizona State has a fine history of wrestling, I follow it. I am also very aware that UC Davis, UC Bakersfield, Cal Poly and Fullerton are part of the Wrestling outfit they call the Pac-10.
  23. Oh no, not this condescending bullcrap. Thank you! It's not about academics, that's as much of a fraud as the idea of the "student athlete" in this day and age. It's about money. TCU's football budget is in the $20 million range, Boise's is in the $6 million range (and that's being generous). But yet it does have everything to do with academics. Conferences such as the Pacific-10(soon to be 12) and the Big Ten value their schools to be part of the academic forefront in this day and age.
