Now it=B4s time to make one=B4s predictions and place a bet (if you are a
betting man, which I=B4m not). This is my prediction:
Europe 11.5 - USA 16.5
I realize that some strange factor may count: 1) a bad weather is
coming soon, 2) Ian Woosnam seems to be a weak captain and if he turns
out to be a total failure, nobody will be surprised, but on the other
hand he might still surprise everyone with a brilliant captaincy. 3)
Tiger, the brilliant talisman - what if he fails, won=B4t it affect the
whole US team? So my prediction is based on strength alone. F

The only aspect of the Ryder Cup that interests me is the
identification of the orgnaism Woosnam carries around on the top of his
head. Other than that, its a total bore. I think the last Ryder Cup got
30 seconds on ESPN Sportscenter on sunday night. Might not even get a
mention at all this time!

I somewhat agree with you Professor. Yeah too many commercials, the
hype does not bother me, yes, average commentary and low ratings
because of this:
Europe 16 USA 11
And the captains suck ! They did not think about selling some image?
They look like they just killed somebody...Gee!.

Good for you. Since you are not going to watch the RC try Verdi=B4s Don
Carlo, it=B4s available on DVD, a bit heavy but you=B4ll like it. F

I see no reason to avoid honest comment on the issue. If you think it
is a great and wonderful thing, then enjoy it to it's fullest! Just
because you enjoy watching the Ryder Cup doesn't mean I have to. I'd
rather find something that I enjoy doing and do that (as oppsed to
doing something you enjoy, but I don't...now that would be kinda
wierd).
Flowers are plant reproductive structures, and one **COULD** argue that
obsession with the reproductive structures of other species is also a
little wierd. I spend enough time studying plants otherwise anyways!
I'll probably spend my free time this weekend playing music. May have
the Ryuder Cup on in the background...maybe I'll be wrong, and it'll
get high ratings, and the golf courses will be empty. In that case,
I'll golf!

(snip)
opinion is often not "honest comment", it's just your opinion. Honest
comment suggests that you have some factual basis for your statement,
which, since the RC hasn't started yet, you don't...

You are way too negative, Professor, life is short and you are not
enjoying it - you must learn to love the little flowers at the wayside.

Have you seen the Ryder Cup records of the european players? I
predict the score may be the same, but the teams in front of those
scores need to be changed.
