Everyone has to remember that digg is a "social bookmarking" site. With this in mind we should also remember that all sort of links will be posted (bookmarked) here, not for "fame and glory," but maybe so that some people (not the digg addicts who patrol the front page) will be exposed to something of interest that is available online. - Punisher2K, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Then don't read it ass. Noone is putting a gun to your stupid head.

- RegisteredUser, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Exactly. I'm a little surprised that was the actual headline of the AP story.

My condolences to his family, RIP. - somespecialist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4As a Rice student myself, I can testify to the fact that none of the football players I know feel like going out to play Army this weekend.

To be able to properly play Rice, please refer to "How to be a playa" or "two can play the game" motion picture guide. - iNoles, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1It's quite sad. After All, I'm Florida State fan.
