    So today we care more about football, though Tillman was a nice surprise.
    One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike -- and yet it is the most precious thing we have.

    The fact that life evolved out of nearly nothing, some 10 billion years after the universe evolved out of literally nothing, is a fact so staggering that I would be mad to attempt words to do it justice.

    I believe a timeout was called in football signing day in order for Tillman to announce his decision.

But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

    But bear in mind that today we were following actual football signings, but Tillman was just a verbal commitment.

    If we are saying Krysko is done doing idiotic nonsense, good.

    I'm responding to posters who sanctimoniously were saying they cared more about the basketball commitment. The fact is, what was going on in football recruiting and basketball recruiting were two different things. Most of us here recognize basketball's special place. But one three star verbal commit isn't the same thing as signing your whole verbally committed class, which is the best football class ever.

    Not all of us are taking all this stuff so seriously. Using the word sanctimoniously is a bit heavy, I think.

    Plus, not everything is binary.

    You should string together the first letter of each word in my post. No secret decoder ring needed.

    (And you're right about the greatness of the class.)
