Re: Fred Oien article

We've had a motion to button this one up (not that this is a democracy or that my favorite Prof. Wayne Hoogestrat's Parliamentary Practice rules apply) and it's been seconded with several forms of pie.

Attention K-Mart Pie Shoppers, this thread is closing in five minutes.

Do it. Five minutes are up and blue lights are shut down.

x=(-bą√(b^2-4ac))/2a

sinαąsinβ=2sin1/2(αąβ)cos1/2(α∓β)

Or the one I use most often

P=IEcosθ

Mine happens to be e, but then I'm an engineer by training . . . )

Why not combine the two?

e^iπ + 1 = 0

Re: Fred Oien article

So, YF, what do you drive? And what's your favorite pie? (And, following EvoPrime, what's your favorite irrational number? Mine happens to be e, but then I'm an engineer by training . . . )

e is good too. (pi+e=pie)

Re: Fred Oien article

Good post YFE...good advice...neither school needs to persist on this thread. Hey MODS, about deciding that 5600 views is enough... I've promised I will post no more, and I'm tiring at monitoring it. This thread has run its course. Forget the pie and the autos and move on...please.

Re: Fred Oien article

I'm on board with yote53. It is time to completely drop the discussion regarding your former AD and the article written by the AL. As a Coyote fan, I see no purpose in the story. Nothing good can come of it. The SDSU fans truly believe his good outweighed his negatives, and I'm ok with that.

Reagrding the attack on Jack Doyle, there is more to the story than the link provides. He hit it on the head. I don't think you will find to many USD supporters out here with any longevity that thinks Jack Doyle was a "wizard" AD. However, I don't think you'll find many USD supporters that will say anything real negative or harsh about the man either. Jack Doyle is good people. Should he have been our AD, probably not. But a common practice years ago was to name a caoch "retiring" from his sport as the new AD. Most coaches are not good businessmen. I think the AD has to have a very broad knowledge of athletics, but first and most important, has to have a great deal of business sense.

USD fans agree with your fans that the article never should have been written, as there is no good to come from it. Start a thread about your new AD, and bury this one. We wish him well, and look forward to the time if and when both schools are ready to renew the rivalry. Until then, good luck AD Sell. Best wishes.

So, YF, what do you drive? And what's your favorite pie? (And, following EvoPrime, what's your favorite irrational number? Mine happens to be e, but then I'm an engineer by training . . . )

Nidardos.

I respect your enthusiasm for SDSU and the affection exhibited for your friend, Dr. Oien. We would all be so lucky to have an ally like yourself. However, in my personal opinion, the continious rants about Stu and Jack Doyle defeat your purpose. I think it is unamiounious that all believe (SDSU fans and USD fans) that this was a non-story done in poor taste. I believe it would be best for your health to head the following.

1) Take a deep breath and step away from the computer for an hour or two.
2) Do not let Stu invade your mind
3) Realize the story was written by the AL for other reasons.
4) The personal issues of Dr. Oien were already well known by about everyone in the state
5) SDSU and the whole state for that matter greatly benefited during his time at SDSU
6) Focus on the new AD since he sounds like a great hire
7) Enjoy the past and future success achieved by SDSU in the academic and athletic arena.
8) LET IT GO

Everyone else has.

Good advice and don't worry about my health, only I can do that.

Re: Fred Oien article

Not a USD thread.

Yes I understand its not a USD thread. I do also recognize how quickly the action of other past AD's are forgotten. Fred did not cost SDSU a half million dollars. Thanks to Stu and negative ways, SDSU might raise one half million because of the articles. Which could be a good thing. And I do also realize this is not a Martha Stewart thread either
