WVU approves alcohol sales in football stadium.
They sell beer at Pitt games, but only in the club section where the seats are mad expensive.
Looking at his past and the great behavior WVU students have shown, I think this is a poor decision.

I bet Nadal is happy that Federer beat Djokovic. Great match though.

Just saw the Senna movie. Superb. Bring a box of tissues.

Seen both the 97 minute cut of the Senna movie and the two hour 40 one. The latter is so much better. (It's out on DVD in Japan).
Movie is very biased though. While it doesn't paint Senna as an angel by any means, it only just stops short of painting horns and a tail on Prost.
As for Bahrain... Fuck the FIA and Bernie. I will not be watching.
It'd be nice if the teams would have the balls to say no, but they won't because A) they're gutless worms, and B) Martin Whitmarsh is head of FOTA. He's the McLaren team boss, and Bahrain are part owners of the team.
But Bernie assured us it's not about money...
There's a ton of issues. Like how in December, when the season will now run too, the mechanics etc... Are legally owed the time off they should have.
Despicable decision on so many levels.
Ashamed to be an F1 fan right now.

Of course the Bahrain F1 event will happen. Why do you ask?
