Saddest aspect is Chris May and Janet Oberle read this message board, post anonymously and take action from this board. That’s how insecure and paranoid they are of their own misgivings. They have run so many people off as employees and donors over the years it’s no surprise people from the past and present will come forward. Just wait, think real big folks. Save this post. Have a great weekend.

Does anyone know what the F*#$ this thread is about?

I think its about an athletic department news story. Unfortunately it is most likely  just a profile in leadership and how to raise money reporters are inquiring about. I highly doubt it will be about the toxic culture within athletics department.

 

Hope this clears it up for you!!! 😀

The crusade continues with our very own Don Quixote on lead jack-ass.

Taj Don Quixote had a horse called Rocinante.

If you do a deeper dive into Cervantes’ life, it’s absolutely fascinating how close the world came to never having a Don Quixote. Carry on.

Actually some poignant lyrics in there for the topic of this thread. 

I prefer the soundtrack to “Man of Lamancha” over all other Don Quixote related music tracks, specifically “The Impossible Dream”

Richard Kiley and Irving Jacobson were very impressive in the original Broadway Cast.  Placido Domingo and Mandy Patinkin were special (maybe better than the original cast?) on the cast recording.

I want to thank everyone.  Earlier in this thread, I was confused about what this thread was about.  Now I realize that it is about Broadway musical soundtracks.  Again, thank you.

I wouldn’t have guessed that either.  But you have to admit, it’s made for a much more pleasant exchange of ideas than you first would’ve guessed.

You are welcome  😀

Better than reading another Chicken Little's "The Sky is Falling" post.

We are going to Salzburg, Austria to see the Christmas Markets in December and going to take the Sound of Music tour where the movie was filmed.  Yep, I'm straight.

It's things like this that keep me tuning in!

OK so, just to check your knowledge of this kind of trivia, what was the name of Alexander the Great's horse?

Suddenly this board is sounding like a Frazier rerun.

Cervantes was a pretty incredible man, he was a sailor in the fleet that defeated the Ottoman fleet at Lepanto. He lost an an arm during the battle and was taken prisioner and enslaved by the Turks and made to row in a Turkish galley before been freed. How he could manage to row a galley with only one arm is beyond incredible. How he could manage to write Don Quixote afterwards is a miracle.

Had to look it up. The name is Bucephalus. And Lord Elrond is correct, it is indeed Greek for ox-headed. Being we're talking about a horse, I would have figured the name stood for Bodacious Phallus.
