So the gauntlet is over. I made it passed the subcommittee, the faculty committee, the dean, the provost, and the President. Last night, the Board of Regents voted for my tenure. Not much of a raise next year, but it means that the Govenor couldn't put out the word to let me go if I publish an opinion on a research topic that he disagrees with.

Rags to bitches, baby! Time to ghost ride your whip into your parking space on Monday.

Good job, Owlman!

Did the dean inform you that you had been on double secret probation?

Time for Spacer to finally release that research paper explaining how Indians with southern accents always have micro-penis's.

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable!

Congratulations SPACER-----"Academic tenure is primarily intended to guarantee the right to academic freedom: it protects teachers and researchers when they dissent from prevailing opinion, openly disagree with authorities of any sort, or spend time on unfashionable topics.--------------so now you can teach non PC and not be fired?

He still has a way to go with his "Bagwell/Biggio is a first ballot HOF" thing though.

Every player to reach 3000 hits in the last 60 years has been inducted to the hall of fame on the first ballot except Rose and Palmeiro, who both certainly would have been 1st ballot HoFers as well if not for other circumstances.

I dont know how anyone can even say with a straight face that Biggio doesn't have an obvious 1st ballot pedigree.

Obviously. And I didn't think Bagwell would be a first ballot lock in this day and age
