Yep, the money goes into the general scholarship funds.

I’d be a lot happier of Allstate paid more money to people who got screwed after Katrina. I was a little surprised to see the ad on the nets during an LSU game considering many Louisiana residents are suing Allstate.

These days it's rare to see an AL pitcher run the bases. You see it much more in the NL. I did a double take as well when I saw Dice K wearing a jacket, then it came back to me.

Anyway, I was working, so I had to have cap locks on. For some stupid reason, they make us type everything that way at work, I have no idea why. stupid I know. The worst part is when I type normal, I can't remember to cap anthing that needs to be, I'm used to it being there already, LOL. As for the comment, I was just in a hurry telling someone to rewatch the game to get the grab of the great play that DB made, that's all. We have these things pop up all the time on here, and I was just trying to make a point that it was paint. It was kind of rude, wasn't meant that way.
