Cleveland Sports Forum

Hello fellow attorney, Peter. I didn't know that there were two of us here.

Oh no. Another one?

If you two would have picked a more honorable profession you would have been more apt to advertise it.



Just kidding. Props to you. Law school, wow. I barely made it out of high school. Worst 7 years of my life.

Peter C - well put. I too agree that the "attack all who disagree..and make it personal" strategy on a sports forum just can't happen.

Hey Civ,

I did not realize you are an attorney either. Hope that revelation does not get us both kicked out of this forum.

Not much chance of that - now and again I'm pretty sure I hear a sound that resembles crickets.

Hillbilly,

I am just hoping that the Cavs can continue to get their team chemistry developed before they get knocked out of the playoffs. I have a hard time figuring out what their actual potential might be. But right now, it is not looking anything like it has for the past three years.

I just want them to develop into a team this post season that gives them some realistic shot of keeping LeBron and finding a way to become a real threat to win another championship sometime in the next few years.

If LeBron leaves, my sense is that fun/competitive Cavs basketball is gone with him for the foreseeable future.

I can tell you what could get me kicked out, namely the law school and undergrad school I attended.

ok. I am guessing Michigan, then.

If it were it would be fine with me. Some of my favorite lawyer friends went to that place. One even let me have his four tickets to "the Game" (at ticket face value!) when it was played at Ohio State and he could not attend. (That was the game when Ohio State unexpectedly started its recent run of success against the school up north.)

Some of my favorite "real" people did undergraduate work there too.

I did all my college and law school studies in Connecticut. But my sports loyalties are mostly Cleveland and Ohio State - except NHL hockey. (Neither my college nor my law school university have sports teams that draw many significant athletes or sports coverage. Bill Belichick went to my college, though. But I can't root for the successful team of someone who helped destroy the Browns. It's been bad enough living near Ravens fans while they win championships -- and having had my tax dollars used to pay for the heist.)

Locally, I root for the Washington Capitals because there was no professional Ohio hockey team when I moved here. I fit right in with those fans, because the Capitals have the same knack for heart-breaking playoff losses as Cleveland teams have had for pretty much my entire life. Sometimes I wonder if I brought the jinx to the Capitals.

I used to root for the University of Maryland too, when they had teams that were good while Ohio State was not as good in the same game. But now that Maryland is in the Big Ten, I find that harder to do with any real interest.

Connecticut doesn't mean that school were the Clintons went to law school does it?
My son lives just down the road from U of Maryland and at age 33 is going back school in the fall to get a law degree there; while working full time. He thinks it's possible. My lawyer wife and I are not so sure.

Wesleyan

Seagull is right about Wesleyan. Yale is the law school. Is your son going to Yale or the University of Maryland for law school?

Not Yale! Univ of Maryland, while he's working for the Maryland Dept of Insurance. I dont' think Yale has a night school, and it's a long commute from Prince George's County!

So, is he planning to do night school part time, while also working full time? Or is he trying to take on a full academic class load while also working full time?

I sure would not want to be trying to do a full schedule of both things at once. But in and around D.C. it is not uncommon to take extra time to do law school at night and work full time during the day.
