In response to: National Animal ID...and Millions of Dollars....Scrapped

Why do we need something that we have never needed in the history of mankind? Why today? Answer that and you won't need animal ID, along with RFID scanned national drivers license.

The soviets always felt better after giving up part of their freedoms for greater security.

At yesterday's game versus Iowa the Buckeyes came out of the locker room 4:00 minutes to game time when officially announced and I counted four different outfits among the team. Attending most every home game, I can tell you that tends to be the case the majority of the time.

You apparently arrived at the OSU-Minnesota game about an hour before tipoff as I did. Yes, some of the OSU team members were on the court "warming up" in a variety of dress, but at that early time they could have been in the locker room joking with teammates, listening to music on their Ipods or talking or texting on cell phones. Later, when the entire team took the floor for the real pregame warm-ups, all were looking sharp and unified in game uniforms. And did do you recall who was leading them on court and taking the first practice layup? None other than P.J. Hill.

I agree with you about bench playing minutes.

Note: It is good to have your "Lessons" back after a long hiatus.

In response to: My beef with UCLA's "Beef-less Thursday"

I think a more responsible move on their part would be to provide information so students can make their own choices. Also, they had a real opportunity to lead by example and possibly trim portion sizes to meet food pyramid recommendations. They also make it seem that livestock cannot be raised in a sustainable manner. There are more and more farms emerging that use progressive techniques like capturing and using methane from manure. This comes down to a lack of education. It's like my hot dog test. Do this: offer to tell someone what hot dogs are made of and gauge their reaction. You'll find that it is nearly always negative. This is due to a lack of education about food. How come I'm not seeing anything from the beef producers highlighting sustainable practices and facts about beef? Why isn't UCLA Dining Services looking into using locally sourced ingredients if they're so concerned about greenhouse gases? All appropriate questions.

Wow...maybe instead of radio broadcasting you should coach the OSU men's basketball team. Obviously, you know it all - what was OSU thinking in hiring Matta? You know, I'm a firm believer that college sports are not all about winning. Obviously you could care less about the values and lessons many of our astounding coaches teach our student-athletes. Buckeye fans become enraged when Coach Tressel "loses us" a football game because he didn't call the "right plays", seeing as us "expert" fans would know from the nose-bleed C-deck in the Horseshoe. Read his book "The Winner's Manual" and then tell me you don't appreciate his thoughts and tactics, even if it costs us another trophy. While I do agree that Matta could use a therapy session, maybe you ought to report both sides of the story, after all, that is your job.

Onstar has been very useful for our family too.
