A serious suggestion to the editors: does it do any good to have comment threads open on stories like this? Are the page hits worth it? Post the link to the police fund and stop there; let these people exercise their right to free speech on white power hate site and the like, rather than tarnishing your paper by tacitly approving the most odious racism.

I try, against great odds, to think well of my fellow Americans--and this ain't helpin'....

"just keep putting up them 'threes,'"--

""Transportation has changed dramatically in the last 20 years," Kachroo explains from his office in UNLV's new engineering building. "It used to be about planning and infrastructure -- roads, freeways, bridges. Now it's about sensors and lights and active traffic control."

whatcha gon do, Kachroo?

"I used you for my own pleasure not letting thoughts of you, Doug, Brandon, Blake or Brittany come into my mind"--

WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN???!!!???

I could see Rougeau on some NBA team's second unit, given his athleticism and versatility as a defender....

game OVER. is something going to come out, in the media, down the road? a team collapse like this is hard to understand unless there are things going on behind the scenes we don't know about...

I don't think it's desire so much as talent: small guys who can't shoot from the outside are not a winning formula. Kruger's recruiting has to be questioned after this year's debacle....

for a bunch of short guys who can't shoot the ball, we are really a pretty good team....

tough game for the rebels, but we don't get to complain this year--we need to prove stuff now, and if we'd gotten a #1 or #2 we'd be facing exactly the kind of weak club we've played lousy against all year......we should force a million turnovers; our problem is we've got absolutely nobody to guard Patterson.
