Re: Democrats Warn That American People May Tamper With Next Election

Better than just one interpretor though they work in unison together selling the same story/version as with Virginia's Governor and eliminating the blackface controversy along with making the sexual attack accusations of the #2 Democrat in they state go away since of they fell then Virginia would be lead by a Republican.

Re: Sad Day for Girl Scouts
The National Scout jamboree is a large gathering of Scouts held once every four years. Historically, jamborees were held in state and national parks like other groups' gatherings, but mutual concerns by BSA and the government over the environmental impact of 35,000 Scouts camping in heavily used public places led to a 1978 agreement to use infrequently used military facilities instead. The United States military uses the jamboree as a large scale training exercise for engineer, military...

Re: Why Lauderdale County Opposed Secession
This is one of the best stories that I have seen the Timesdaily print. This article shows that there were many different views and reasons why the civil war was fought. Some men did not know why they were at war with others. Wives feared that husbands and sons might not be returning home and that word would never reach them of were they fell. Lauderdale, Colbert and later the free state of Winston came to represent a different ideal that a lot of people believe the civil war was fought over.

Re: Auburn to the SEC East? Or a 16-team SEC?
I think the SEC will do all it can to balance things out. I believe Texas A&M and Mizzou will eventually be members of the west. West Virginia will be added to the east with a team to be named later. The SEC would love to add either VT or UNC, but it appears they will remain in the ACC. I believe the SEC's best option is to broker a deal with Florida to allow Florida St. to become members.

I understand why Florida and other established SEC powers might not want to add a traditional powerhouse like FSU to the conference (they've been down in recent years, but they'll be back, maybe as early as this season). Finebaum for example has said that A&M is bad for the SEC and they should go after Texas and Oklahoma instead, but I think that's nuts.

Re: Auburn to the SEC East? Or a 16-team SEC?
I'm sure that neither Alabama nor Auburn would want to discontinue the Iron Bowl every year, though like I said, Alabama-Tennessee as an annual event would probably have to be sacrificed in that scenario. In directly related news today, Auburn's president said he wouldn't object to Auburn moving to the SEC East if that was needed to keep the divisions balanced. I'd still prefer to grab West Virginia instead and keep everything else the same.

Re: Auburn to the SEC East? Or a 16-team SEC?
IF such a move happened, which I doubt it would, the Iron Bowl doesn't necessarily have to be effected however it would set up a very real possibility, given the timing of the game's playing, where you could have the two immediately repeat the match two weeks or so later in Atlanta. If Auburn did go to the East and Alabama stay in the West and both actually win their respective divisions than you would have the IRON Bowl immediately followed by the SEC Championship game which would then have...
