An Alumni's Viewpoint


I went over to Stuart's place tonight to watch the second worst team in baseball (the Rockies) play the third worst team in baseball (the Cubs) in an exciting battle to avoid 100 losses this season.  Stuart is an alumni of the University of Denver, having graduated from there with a Master's Degree in International Relations.While we watched the game, I asked Stuart if he - as an alumni - was proud that the University of Denver was hosting the first Presidential Debate of 2012 between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.  "No comment" replied Stuart.  Do you think spending close to 5 million dollars on a 90 minute event will bring the University 30 million dollars worth of free publicity? "No comment."  Are you going to make a donation to DU to help defray this large expense?  "No comment."  However, Stuart did comment that he thought the Rockies would win the contest between these two losers.  Thanks, Stuart, for your insightful comments!  The University of Denver, as well as the Colorado Rockies, thank you!
