        That whole saga is disappointing - Domer99, 2016-10-12, 12:25
        
        Exactly. - KGB, 2016-10-12, 13:55

        I think it's special - Coach Gillespie, 2016-10-12, 13:07
        
        That's pretty well said and I agree. - Domer99, 2016-10-12, 14:21
        
        yeah, but you were "somebody" - Mike (bart), 2016-10-12, 13:28

        I don't have much of an opinion about either thing - Mike (bart), 2016-10-12, 09:18

        Good point, and I could see that point of view from JS. - Greg, 2016-10-12, 07:56
        
        Some people apparently want to go to prom with their coach. - KGB, 2016-10-11, 12:21
        
        Agreed, and I don't need a mea culpa from Kelly - HCE, 2016-10-11, 12:57
        
        He has a fine reputation in town. Nobody has a bad thing to - Buck Mulligan, 2016-10-11, 12:18
