HEE HEE,
Those orange clad 'teers are not so happy after GEORGIA came to town. I had to chose between flying or go to the game. Flying won this time. Needed the practice. I watched my dawgs on TV , and made sure I yelled GO DAWGS SIC'EM RUFF RUFF RUFF every time we kicked off,..I am sure my neighbors hate me ![]() Patrick student SP aircraft structural mech More prosaic is TYS in Knoxville, TN. During the summer, the nearby Smokies attracts visitors, and the University of Tennessee brings in the college crowd during the rest of the year. The football situation is worse than Iowa, so you'd probably be packed in season. George Patterson Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor. It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him. |

Well, I hear that the Vols made enough errors in the first two games to create an entire one hour blooper video (Sam Venable column in the K-town paper). Fine with me. If you actually believe in academics at UT, there are lots of reasons to hate the athletic department. George Patterson Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.

of reasons to hate the athletic department. That's true at any big-sports college. The highest-paid (by far) public employee in the state of Iowa is....Kirk Ferentz, the U of Iowa football coach. It's sad. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

UT considered that school a walkover in the dark ages when I attended. A year or two back, they got rid of their athletic department (and I may have the wrong term there, but it's the autonomous group that used to run the sports programs, not the group that teaches the phys-ed courses). This year they are #1 (so far) in the SEC, and they're saving some ridiculous amount of money. George Patterson Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.

Actually,
Vandy lost to LSU but do have a 4-2 record and for Vandy that is outstanding! Saturday night Vandy will be 4-3 ..Georgia comes to Nashville ![]() an absolute dominance of the SEC east. But I will hand it to Vandy ..they always play tough against Georgia. But as of today the SEC East standings are GEORGIA(3-0,5-0), FLORIDA(3-1,5-1), VANDY (2-1,4-2), TENNESSEE(2-2,3-2),SOUTH CAROLINA(1-3,3-3), and KENTUCKY(0-2,1-4) But yes George, Vandy is better this year than they have been in a very long time. I won't be surprised at all if there is a nice little SEC battle in Nashville Saturday night...Dang I wonder if I could get some cheap tickets to that one? ![]() 17-15 in Nashville. MTSU played a great game! Patrick student SP aircraft structural mech "George Patterson" wrote in message news:8%_2f.2552$Uj2.1589@trndny03... Jay Honeck wrote: That's true at any big-sports college.

Jay,
Knowing that alot of counties will help with taxes and such..some even buy and give land to companies to bring jobs into an area...why not pick a place you'd like to have a Hotel at an airport. See what kind of biz deal can be worked. I am sure you know your biz a heck of alot more than myself,....but maybe a new hotel with all the local gov breaks may be more cost wise than buying an older hotel that needs work..and may not get the local gov goodies! I can only imagine the mortgage payment on a hotel....but it should make a nice tax break ![]() Patrick student SPL aircraft structural mech |

The trick is to find one that needs freshening up, not demolition. And anything we would do would be way too small for any government to be interested in funding -- heck, our entire staff is just 5 people (plus Mary and me). Not a big help to anyone's unemployment rolls. I don't think we can provide the kind of service we do if we were build a hotel much bigger. I think we could MAYBE handle 45 suites, total, at the outside, and still do the delivered-to-the-suite breakfast thing. Beyond that, we'd start slipping into "Holiday/Ramada/Super 8" status -- which would kill us. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
