B-Rich Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 A few days ago, I saw a local tv ad for a website dealing with high school athletics called HS Gametime. Apparently this is a national website associated with local TV stations' sports departments, used for the distribution of high school sports information. I logged on to check out local teams-- each school had the same website format, with their school/team name in the school colors, split by title case/uppercase: green and gold for Grace King FIGHTING IRISH, black and gold for Bonnabel BRUINS, etc.However when I looked at the site for my daughter's future school, I got a big laugh. They were listed as the Dominican VERITAS. "Veritas" is NOT Dominican's team name. As many of you probably know, VERITAS (roughly pronunced vair- it - oss) is the Latin word for TRUTH, and the school motto (just like Harvard) which is featured on the school crest. Maybe this photo of the athletic teams, which is featured on the site, gave them the wrong idea:By the way, Dominican is unusual in that they have no athletic team nickname or mascot. Maybe this will be the impetus for getting one..... at least my daughter says that will be her mission when she gets there and plays soccer for 'em. It is what it is.

Fred T. Jane Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Hopefully if you have a son, he's going/will go to Holy Cross... [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.
