Your exact words, "The scarlet course is probably the weakest of Mackenzie's remaining work" and when asked what MacKenzie courses you had played, "Crystal, Pasatiempo, and U of M". maybe I was too generous, one pure MacKenzie, one MacKenzie/Maxwell and a Maxwell - 1 1/2 MacKenzies.
I don't think the entire Merion membership, and a gentleman like Willie Dow, should be mentioned in the same sentence with Nazi war criminals and al Q. Whatever point you were trying to make, it really isn't necessary to allude to the membership of a golf club with those most heinous groups. My point is that you are prone to exagerations and overstatements, and because of that tendency others shouldn't take your wild comments personally.
To digress, yes Bo did fire Frieder, but only because he accepted the job at ASU, not because he was upset that he had been cheating. He was upset because he would be cheating elsewhere the following season. Losing an entire recruiting class to prison? Add that to the list of wild exagerations, where do you come up with these fabrications? You are correct about glass-houses, that's the point, using old Bo as the paragon of virtue -- every major program in the country has there problems, including Michigan and Bo. In fact they may lead the country this season with three members of their football team being arrested - the starting tailback, a starting corner and their star freshman RB being seperately arrested for domestic assault, felonious driving/resisting arrest and drug charges. Of course I'll admit when I was in school that trifecta would've been a damn good night.
