Good grief. He didn't even win over the gimmes. This would be like Mondale losing Minnesota.

Did you really expect a mad rush for this book in Washington? I mean really, other then Iron Eagle and a few other egriz Eastern fans, who in the state of Washington would buy this book?

As a preemptive strike, I broke into a car of a co-worker who graduated from ewu and pooped in the backseat. Ironically, he didn't say a word about the book. He's in janitorial services so at least he has a good sense of cleaning up messes.
iron eagle is neither a Washingtonian nor an ewoo fan.
But yes, to answer your question, I would expect that in the Seattle area -- where Krakauer lived for sometime and has a large following particularly with the climbing crowd -- that if he published a book of finger painting done on toilet paper using the remnants thereof, that it'd sell tens of thousands of copies.

Keep working on the burns griz75, your definitely no CDA. Now, while your are so prompt to quote the rape "problem" at MSU, which according to you is twice as bad as it is at UM ( :roll: ), don't you think that multiple members of your football team gang raping students is a little worse than your average run of the mill sexual assault? Don't get me wrong, I'm not minimizing any kind of rape / sexual assault, but you guys are the MIGHTY GRIZ NATION. Can't have your poster boys running around and raping everything can we? It could be just me, but maybe UM has garnered all of this national attention for a reason? Call me crazy, just a thought. Commence with more distorted facts and another lame ass burn.

Two weeks until the Krak comes to town. I wonder if book reviews will continue to roast this piece of work, and he cancels at the last minute, or Doubleday makes him come in an attempt to dump 490,000 unsold books.

Hey! Cool it. Since UM was known as MSU for so long. Maybe the rape stats are skewed too...

Nope. Outright lie. I don't "think the rape problem is twice as bad," the reported statistics over a significant period of time, and as reported by national publications show that. Write 'em a letter. Whine to the actual sources that expose MSU for what it has been.IroneagleXP said:
There was never a "gang rape" but the lie must be important to you.
It is a nice touch illuminating your inanity to argue that "rape" is just a "run of the mill sexual assault." :shock: No wonder things have been so bad in Bozeman. You are indeed a sick puppy.

Did momma beat you or abandon you as a child? Did daddy touch you inappropriately? Was it the '97 game and the feeling of violation? Where does this anger and resentment come from? Why do you feel inclined to post on another team's fan board such vitriolic hatred?

The irresponsibility of "journalists" like Florio and Krakhauer reaches far beyond the legal arena of "standards of proof in rape cases" and "false claims" and associated and often politically-motivated social agendas. It isn't just "bad reporting."
These people hurt people, and intend to do so.

Naturally, those invested in the social justice "lawfare," ostensibly for raising rape awareness, are often the ones who will be the first to threaten females who do not support the "Narrative," and threaten them with rape at the venal level of being female, and vulnerable, and having daughters. Just as every claim reported to UM was investigated, there is nothing "here," here, except that the social justice warriors are neither fair, nor good, nor seeking social justice.
